SOME assessne S made by the as
SCISSORS must inevitably be too low.
They do their work in a hurry, and
must rely, to considerable extent,
on other people, and naturally they
make too low valuations in some in
stances. Every man in the city knows
OF cases, not in his own neighborhood
and not affecting him directly, where
he thinks the assessments are too low,
bnt it is not his business to report to
the Supervisor of Assessments, and
the tax dodgers escape. But If the
Supervisor of Assessments succeeds
in getting the Board of Supervisors to
publish the assessment rolls, these
inequalities will very soon be ad-
justed. From every neighborhood
where there is piece Of property on
the rolls at too low valuation, will
come demands, not that the lev n;eca
be raised, lhe man likes to tell on his
neighbor), but that other property in
the vicinity be lowered, and it will
then be an easy matter for the as
SCISSOR to see where the trouble lies
and put the property of the tax
dodger on par with his neighbors.

State Library Commission Sends
a Representative Here to
Urge Travelling Libraries
ORIGINAL COST TO BE SMALL
Libraries for All Towns in the State
Can be Installed at Cost Of Five
Hundred Dollars Books to be
Circulated, From Stations

Miss L. f.. Stearns of Milwaukee, :
member Of the Wisconsin Free Library
commission, was in Kenosha Monday
making an effort to foster the senti
ment that has been started in favor
of the adoption Of the county travel
ing library system for Kenosha
county. She will probably remain in
Kenosha and in parts Of the county
for several days and will return next
week to present the important matter
to the board Of county supervisors.
Miss Stearns will find the field II
Kenosha county fertile one as there
is already sentiment decidedly
favorable to the adoption Of the
travelling library system.
Miss Stearns had long talk with
the county clerk this morning,
and afterward saw members Of the
board Of supervisors and she met with
considerable encourag cement. The
libraries are to be furnished under
the direction of the state commission
and the state law fixes the amount
that may be spent by the county
board for such purposes. The law
allows county board to appropriate
the sum of $500 for the purpose OF
purchasing the original books and
permits an appropriation Of 500
annually for the maintenance Of the
work.
re travelling libraries are now
found in the state, but it is the plan
Of the state commission to organize
county systems. These systems have
now been adopted in nine counties OF
the state. Even with the Simmons
library and it's splendid collections OF
books Kenosha now has one of the
travelling libraries. This is a library
Of German books and it is circulated
through the city library.
These travelling Libraries are
furnished in English, German,
Danish, and Swedish languages, but
the large proportion of the libraries
now in use in the state are printed II
SAAV 6CAA1dA du0 Ing AASn AduS 1dS e
Of course the largest number J are
English.
The plan for the placing of the
libraries includes the establishment
of stations from which the books may
be circulated to the farmers and their
families. These Libraries are also fol
use in the smaller villages of the
county and in many Of the smaller
towns of Wisconsin they take the
place of public Libraries.
The selection of books made by the
state commission is a remarkably
good one and it has been approved BY
the leading educators in all parts Of
the country. This list has formed
the basis Of the lists Of books 9pour.
chased in nearly every Independent
library in the state

IT OUGHT to be comparatively easy
matter for the state library commits
sion to get a small appropriation for
travelling Libraries from the Board of
Supervisors Of Kenosha county. The
members of the board from the county
would naturally vote for it as their
people are to have all the benefits,
and the city members are familiar
enough with the good work done by
the Gilbert M. Simmons library to
favor an extension of library work
wherever possible. The cost of the
travelling libraries is small and the
board could not invest four or i've
hundred. dollars id any other way that
would give greater results.

At THE AUDITORIUM, CHICAGO

Within the confines of a theatre,
stage no such entertainment as that
wonderous spectacle sHumpty
Dumpty' now at the Auditorium,
Chicago, has ever been given before
in this country, for as great as was
the "Ben Hur' production, from the
view point of spectacle it was almost
a pigmy compared with this giant.
Nothing approaching the Drnry Lane
production has ever been given to the
stage. It is the most captivating en-
tertainment ever conceived for stage
purposes, and one only has to witness
it to realize its many pleasures. The
eye, the ear and the sense of humor
are at once affected, and the varying
emotions caused during it's action
make it thoroughly satisfying
beauty; its music is charming, its
ballets are gorgeous, its dances are
captivating, its comedy is infec-
tious, and best of all, it appeals
| to all classes, young and old alike.
Crowded houses are attesting it's
popularity and this condition
promises well during its engagement.
Never was production of this kind
more 1avish1y praised by the Chicago
critics. The Tribune says, "A more
beautiful spectacle has never been
seen on the American stage" The
Record Herald, sAvast ard wondrous
beauty spectacle" The Inter Ocean,
'"The most sumptuous production of
the kind ever seen III Chicago" The
News, 1T is the most gorgeous, most
1avish1y staged and the greatest as to
ensemble. Fantastic and beautiful
beyond compare" The Chronicle,
"Many a day since Chicago has seen
such mas nifcent spectacu1a produc-
ton" The Post, sit stands pre-
eminent and alone among all attrac-
tons of its class ever seen here"
Seats are on sale one week in adj
vance. Mail orders will be promptly
filled when accompanied by remit
tances. dw

Do NOT forget that Kenosha now
has humane society, and that it's
agent is always ready to investigate
all reports of cruelty to animals or to
women and children. The person
making the report need not appear in
the matter at all, as the agent Of the
society always makes careful, per-
sona1 investigation before taking any
action and, if necessary, goes into
court on his own sponsibility.

THE way in which the Northwest
ern continues to use the West Main
street switch for a storage track, in
defiance Of the agreement, made when
it was put in, to use it for switching
purposes only, is not calculated to
help the road any when it asks per-
mission to put in other switches. The
road has been accustomed to getting
just what it wants in Kenosha for SO
long, that it apparently does not ever
think it is necessary to carry out its
part of any bargain that may be made
with the city.

kenosha Independent Telephone
Co. Takes Steps to Make
Changes in Telephones
ORDERS NEW SWITCHBOARD
City Council Fails to Take any Cogniz.
ance of the Union of Lines and
No Petition is Presented
to That Body

The Kenosha Independent Te1e-
phone company which took charge of
all the telephone lines in Kenosha on
last Wednesday has taken steps to
secure an improvement in the service
furnished to Kenosha patrons. To
this end the new company has placed
m order for thousand drop switch
board Of thelatest model. The switch
/ board IS now being manufactured by
the Western Electric Company in
Chicago and it will be ready for use
by the first of the year.
! The company is also placing large
! order for new receivers and transmit
ters and it is evident that it is the
| plan Of the company to take out all
of the old central energy phones put
in by the Citizens company and re-
place them with new form of CEN
trail energy transmitters and receivers
made by the Western Electric COM
pany. It is hardly possible that these
J changes can be made before the two
exchanges are merged and it is pos
sib1e that the change in instruments
will not be completed until some time
! next spring. In the meantime the
| com pany has made a onnection be-
! tween the two exchanges but this
! connection is solely for business pur-
poses and will not result in all of the
! city being connected.
President Cavanagh yesterday an
] nounced that the company would work
under the franchise of the Wisconsin
company and for this reason the di-
rectors Of the company cared little
what became of the franchise that
had been granted by the council to
the Citizens company. Mr.. Cavanagh
/ intimated that franchise would not
be necessary for the operation of a
telephone exchange.
/ It was expected that the city coun-
| Gil would take some action on the
telephone merger last night but the
matter was passed with mere men
ton.
j Mayor German brought the matter
| to the attention of the council by
stating that the two exchanges had
been combined, and that such COM
bination was in opposition to the
franchise of the Citizens company.
There was no petition presented to
the council and the alderman decided
to take no action at all. 1t is claimed
by the aldermen that nothing will be
gained in annu11ing the franchise, as
the city would have positively nc
power to take possession of the lines
now operated by the Citizens com
pany.
It is possible that the matter will be
taken up by the council later, but
many of the aldermen believe that it
will be impossible for them to take
any action which would improve con-
/ ditions.
