Deny the Charge.

In reply to an article on sampling
quoted from the U. S. Tobacco Journal
two weeks ago the inspection firm OF
Ruscher & Co. desire to say:
I'VE have read the article in your issue
of today headed "A Word on Sampling'
and it being we are recognized as one of
the official sampling firms, we deny that
we give clean tickets to any packer who
will demand them, regardless of the de-
fective condition of the goods.
We also deny that we put tickets on
samples without date on same.
We would therefore suggest, in justice
to the firms who do their work honestly,
that you publish the names of the firms
accused so that the trade can be warned
not to buy on such tickets.
This would be one Of the ways and
means to check not only, but to do away
with the abuses in sampling complain

THE Madison Journal recently con
tanned statement from W.. Piers
tortf, supervisor of assessors sof Dane
county, concerning the workings of the
new mortgage tax law and it's many i'm
PROJECTIONS. Mr. Pierstorff claims that
NEARLY one million dollars in money will
escape taxation this year, while my own
town of Middleton will lose 100000.
Last year we placed approximately
100000 in money on the assessment
roll and this year il things had been left
undisturbed by the legislature we would
have brought in about as much more.
If left alone the old law would have
worked satisfactorily Old mortgage
holders and money lenders, who had
never paid taxes before, were beginning
to come in, because we had adopted the
policy of assessing land contracts. In
time we would have come close to plac-
ing all the money in the county under
assessment. But now it is al up in the
air The new mortgage taxation law
passed last winter is defeating the very
ends for which it was devised. Instead
of catching the intangible property, it is
driving it into hiding and the conse-
quence is that the land holders, often
very poor, must bear the full burden of
taxation and put up with increased
rates"

Useful Spiders.

A French sav&nt points out that
spiders webs improve the acoustic
properties of a room. He says he knew
in England hall that was ideal for
tie conveyance of sound. In an evil
moment it was decided to clean the
ceilings, and all the spiders were dis
lodged. The hall was ruined asa place
for speaking. The savant suggests
that cotton strings might be hung
loosely across ceilings to improve the
sound carrying properties of the room.

Obituary of Napoleon.

When the great Napoleon died there
were doubtless among the readers Of
the London Globe many persons who
would have liked to read a full ac
count of his life, but. If so, they were
disappointed, for the Globe in its issue
Of July 4, 1921, contained only the fol-
lowing brief notice:
Death of Bonaparte. We announce
the death of Bonaparte. The official
announcement was received this morn
ing at the admiralty. His death took
place on June 5. His health had been
declining for long time, and the cause
of death was a cancer in the stomach.
He was born in 1869. The cost Of his
maintenance at ST. Helena was each
year between 100000 and 100000"

OIL men say that the extraordinary
growth in the use of gasoline engines for
all purposes, the automobile included,
has caused the demand for gasoline to
increase rapidly the country over. Deal
ers say the automobile takes good deal
of glory to itself in many ways, but that
it alone, or that class of vehicles alone,
could hardly have pushed the price from
the point at which it used to rule, in the
neighborhood of 10 cents retail to its
present price of about II cents wholesale.

IT IS reported that lineman, who

lines leading out of a nearby town,
walked into house and discovered a
lady sitting in a rocking chair busily
knitting, and with the telephone receiver
tied to the back of her chair, where she
could hear all that was being said over

Ordinance is Passed and After
Assessment Commission Re-
ports the People Speak.
GIVEN 20 DAYS.
City A tOrney HOmmaDn has Declared the
RemOnstrances Heretofore Presented
Regarding Rector, Water, Washington
and Smith Streets, have been Useless
as the Commits iOner had not Reported.

Since the recent ruling Of City
Attorney Hommann to the effect that
all petitions and remonstrances in
connection with the passing of ordi-
nances for the Improvement of streets
are of no use until the assessment
has been fixed, many residents of
the city have been confused in the
matter.
The ordinance passed by the city
council and signed by the Mayor for
the paving of Rector street with
wooden blocks, does not settle the
matter. According to the city charter
by which the proposed improvements
will be made, if at all, any person or
persons. according to Comptroller
Voorhees,, may petition the city
council for a pavement on the street
on which he lives. Council may then
pass the ordinance and the assessment
commission makes a report.
After the filing of this report the
public as to say whether the ordi-
nance will become law or not and
twenty days is given them in which
they may make a remonstrance. A
remonstrance must contain the names
of the majority of the property owners
upon said street under the new ruling
before an ordinance may be knocked
out.
In the case of Rector street, City
Surveyor S. j. Mason has surveyed
the street and is now preparing the
plans upon which an estimate and an
assessment will be made. From the
time this report of the assessment is
filed the Rector street residents then
have twenty days in which to make a
remonstrance.
Last night the city council passed
an ordinance on it's first reading to
have Washington street paved with
vitrihed brick. This will be put
through in the same manner, when
the residents of Washington street
will have the same chance to say
whether the ordinance shall become a
law or not.
