NO LEVY FOR STATE TAX,

1HE ppor6louucHt VI 1ho
state tax has been made, and the
taxpayers of Bayfield, county
will get off light along with the
other counties of the state, as
the Governor, Secretary of the
state, and State Treasurer have
found that owing to the accumu.
lation of moneys in the general
fund for many years past that
for one year it will not be
necessary to raise tax for the
support of state institutions.
While of course, it is always good
news to the people to know that
they will be able to get out of a
small proportion of their taxes,
yet there is nothing so wonder
full in the action of the apportion.
ment, as the figures given out by
the state officials show that in
the natural order of things that
there had accumulated in the
general fund up to the 1st day
of October $1,5l5, 7O1.06. There
can be no claim made that this
amount has been saved" and
no such contention is made. 1t
is simply the result of figuring
''plenty high enough" year after
year, with the result that in the
accumulation process that has
been going on, it is found that
the taxpayers have a sufficient
balance on hand to run them
through another year, by close
figuring, and the officials have
wisely concluded to give back
to the people a little dividend
in the way of no state tax, for
their longtime investments.
The officials have used the good
business judgment which-al-
though uncommon in public
affairs, would be not only expect
ed, but demanded, in the manag-
ment of large concerns. 1t has
determined to pull the state
treasury down to few thousand
dollars in the general fund dur
ing the coming year. No one can
kick upon the action of the offici-
ais, yet there is nothing to espec-
tally commend as they simply
used common business sense in
deciding to raise no money for
general purposes. They might
go a little further in the work of
curtailing taxation by doing
away with extravaganza that is
commonly known to exist in
some of the departments, and
thus avoid any possibility of GO
ing "bump" against an empty
treasury. In the statement sent
out to the press from the execu-
tive bureau at Madison the tax
levies of 1902 and 1908 are COM
pared.
Pro ratio with the average of
counties, Bayfield, county is high
er than last year-that is the
percentage is higher. In pro
portion with last year there is a
decrease of 2.374 per cent.
Some counties run nearly 3per
cent in the decrease Why
county practically denuded of
it's timber should be raised
when compared with other coun-
ties, is too much to understand.
So far as Bayfield, county is con
cerned it will share with other
parts of the state in no levy hav-
ing been made for general pur-
poses, but it gets the worst of
1T when compared with it's
neighbors.

How is it that since the Mil
waukee Free Press was first
started that Governor LaFOllette,
of whom they keep close tab,
hasn't done a thing but what
was "just right?'' And how is
it that during the past two years,
according to the Milwaukee
Sentinel, the Governor has not
done a single thing that was
right? Such blind factionalism
if continued, will sooner or later
find it's solution in a democratic
governor.

lot of people who 60 hunting and

WISH YOU

A Happy New Year. That's what you'd hear on all sides last week. Some people meant it when they made fhe remark; others didn't think or what they were saying; it was simply a matter of courtesy. But the most wicked man we know anything about as a man who wishes you happy ana prosperous New Year and goes straight to his office and jumps the price or coal up to $12.60 per ton, just S2.1o higher than when he wished you happy New Year. Say, we have or ten heard of rubbernecks, but when the people begin to have rubber hearts it's high time to open our eyes and see how we are being hoodwinked. Re- member, OUR say so is our do so When we tell you our coffees are al- ways fresh and the best quality you can depend on it. You may rest easy; we will never wish you happy New Year and then roast you when you cali at our store; that's not our print ciple. We wish everyone, even the coal dealers happy New Year, and during 1903 we guarantee to sell tea and coffee that will bring happiness into the hearts of all who use them or we will refund the money. That's fair, isn't it? And our butter is still 28 cents per pound and it's the good quality, too, at
