Care of the Broom

If you want to make the broom last
long and be pleasant to use, put the
straw into boiling water and let it re-
main there until the water is cold. Then
put it out in the open air until it be-
comes dry as far as you can see. When
ready to use it dip it into water and
out again quickly; then it may be used.
Frequently wetting the broom adds to
its usefulness and is better for the car
pets

Things light and airy reign in my

FREEDOM FOR WOMAN.
The Belief In Woman Suffrage Rapidly
Calming GrOmnd.

Those who have contended that
woman suffrage is a dying cause
would have had their theories some
what shattered had they listened to
the reports OF the officers Of the
National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton at their annual convention
which has just closed in Portland
Oregon.
More than 200 new societies have
been organized the past year and
339 associations, outside the woman
suffrage associations, have either
adopted woman suffrage resolutions
or given favorable attention to the
cause in some manner.
The Treasurer's report showed
the total receipts to have been
Sz8,6z the past year. The largest
contribution from any one person
was $500 from Mrs. Sarah l.. Willis
Of Rochester NY, and The second
largest was $500 from Mrs. Elmira
Springer of Chicago III.
The gain in membership has been
20 per cent the past year, Kansas
taking the lead in making the great
est per cent gain. New York state
has the largest membership. Ten
years ago the Association had only
50 life members, today it has over
23o. In order to become life

OPINIONS ON LEASEHOLD
TAXATION

Judge John w. Mason has decid-
ed that while oil and gas leases can
be taxed under the laws passed 10y
the last Legislature they are not
subject to taxation previous to i Ioos.
If we understand this matter, we
now have three classes of decisions
along This line.
1. T h e Supreme Court has
decided that oil, gas and coal
leases may be taxed.
Judge Mason has decided they
can only be taxed from the year
1905 forward.
3. Judge Dayton has practically
decided that they ctnnot be taxed
at all.
All thatwe have to do is to find
another court or two to be absolute
ly certain where we do not stand on
this question. State Journal.
Just what The ARGUS has con-
tended all along that the new tax
laws are so complicated that even
the learned Judges cannot agree as
to the Interpretation of them. This
means no end of litigation in the
courts as those who have the money
will contest every part Of the tax
laws. But how about the farmer
and the small property holder ?
They have neither the time nor the
means to go into the courts 20 fight
tae obnoxious laws and as a result
they will have to suffer the injustice
which unfortunately always falls on
the poor man.
When the whole truth is found
out about the new tax laws it will
show that the laws were purposely
complicated for no other reason
than to give those Of means the op-
portunity to go into the courts and
test the constitutionality of the laws
in order TO defer the enforcement
OF that portion ofthem which effects
the money class. This will simply
add to the burden Of the middle
class of taxpayers who have no
avenue Of escape.
To sum the new tax laws up in a
nut she'll, it means that the Repub-
lican Machine started out promis-
ing every class Of taxpayers that the
tax laws would reduce their taxes.
Their whole game was game Of
deception to fool the people to vote
for the Machine and retain II in
power. In this we must admit that
they were eminently successful
Now that the rotteness Of the tax
laws have been exposed they are re-
sorting once more to their tiickery
and art Of deception hoping thereby
70 fool the people once more.
II is hardly possible that the peo.
pie are going to allow the Z olitical
Machine to fool them the second
time

BADGERS ARE BOLD
Congressmen Speak Right Up
for Tariff Revision

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 14.-The
Republican members of the wisconsin
delegation In the house held a special
meeting today, all being present ex-
cept Mr.. Jenkins, when a resolution
declaring for an early revision of the
tariff was unanimously adopted. The
resolution follows:
Whereas, The national Republican
platform of 1904, upon which our pres
ent tariff law is based, declares that
We are not pledged to any particular
schedules; the question of rates is a
practical question to be governed by
the question Of the time and of produc-
tion;' and,
Whereas. The national convention
OF 1904 declares that the measure OF
protection should always at least equal
the difference in production at home
and abroad. We insist upon the prin-
ciple of protection, and therefore rates
Of duty should be readjusted only wher
conditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their altera-
ton;' and,
Whereas. We believe that condi-
aons regarding the cost ef production
have so changed since the Dingley law
was enacted eight years ago that the
rates of duty provided for in certain
schedules represent more than the diff
ference IL cost Of production between
articles manufactured in this country
and abroad; therefore.
Resolved. That the Republican
members of the Wisconsin delegation
favor an early revision OF those sched-
ules in the Dingley act which are high
er than. Is necessary to afford adequate
protection"

PURSUE A RAINBOW
Expeditions After.Buried Treas
ure Have Clash

PANAMA, Jan. 14.-From Costa
Rica comes the news of an encounter
between rival bands of treasure hunt
ers on Cocos island, where a tradi-
tionary pirates hoard is said to be
buried. The expedition under Lord
Fitz-W William, Of London, was defeated
by the men under command of Harold
w S. Gray, also from London. Lord
Fitz- William and his party reached the
island on the yacht Weronique, to find
it had. been preceded by the Gray ex-
pedition on the yacht Ros Marine. The
latter party claimed to have a Costa
Rican concession to search for the
treasure and objected to the presence
OF the Fftz- William force. "A fight is
said to have followed and Fitz- William
and his company were beaten off. The
Costa Rican government has sent the
gunboat Turrialbia to establish and
preserve order.

expeditions to the romantic isle where
are supposed to lie buried bullion,
plate. and jewels estimated to be worth
$30,000.00 to 100000, eco. For nearly
century individuals, corporations
and even a government have made
periodical visits to the island, striving
by every means to unearth the care
fully hidden treasure which since 1920
Is supposed to have laid undisturbed.
While the history of the treasure is re-
garded as more or less Of myth.
many men have sunk fortunes in a
vain endeavor to penetrate the mys-
terry which has surrounded the story
that, following revolution in Peru,
the citizens of Callao removed to the
island of Cocos, 600 miles southwest
Of Panama, their plate, bullion and
valuables, returning to perish during a
chaotic period when governments
were changing. Hard-headed men of
business have invested thousands of
dollars with view to clearing the
mystery and enriching themselves and
expeditions have one after another pur-
sued fruitless search for the treasure.

POPE DISCOURAGES

Advices received here show that Arch
bishop Castro of Caracas, has learned
from the Vatican that the pope, ap-
proving of the archbishop's suggestion,
is about to issue an encylical letter to
the episcopal clergy and people Of Latin
America. The pontiff recognizes the
unhappy condition of the Central and
South American republics and attrib-
utes 1t to civil and internal discord,
which prevents the development of free
institutions and disturbs the peace in
dispensable to progress and civilization.
The encyclical condemns what South
Americans call the right Of rebellion
as being the origin Of all evils, urges
peace and the observance of Christian
principle, establishes the duties of the
people and their rules and recommends
that the clergy and episcopaey set an
