DEMOCRATS TO RALLY
John Sharpe Williams to Speak Here
on Next Saturday Evening

The Democratic State Central COM
mittee is making an effort to make
good with Kenosha people for the
failure of w. ]. Bryan to reach Ke-
nosha and instead of Bryan the com
mittee has decided to send to Keno
sha John Sharpe Williams of Missis-
sippi, who is booked to speak here on
next Saturday evening. Williams
who is member Of congress and the
leader on the floor of the house for
the Democrats is to make but one
speech in Wisconsin, and as he did
not care to dive too deep into the Demo
cratic wilds of the state he was notified
to stop at the first station over the
line.
Williams is an orator with few
superiors in the country and he has
always been. Democrat. Even IN
the strenuous times of the Free
Silver agitation he remained true to
the party. The Democrats will make
arrangements to give their leader a
great reception in Kenosha and there
is little doubt but that the national
repute of the speaker will draw big
crowd even in this quiet campaign.

Local Company Being Formed
toHand!e Ice for Kenosha
Customers Only
OPTIONS ON LAKE PROPERTY
Details of the Proposed Company Will
not be Announced Until all Plans
for Erection Of Houses are
Completed

The ice trust is to have opposition
in Keuosha during the coming sea
son aud stock is now being sub
scribed for the formation Of an indie
pendent company which will have for
its sole aim the furnishing of ice to
the people of Kenosha at a reasonable
profit. The full details Of the plan
Of the company will not be made pub-
lie at this time on account Of the fact
that it is feared that the Knicker-
booker Company would make an
effort to block the plans of the pro-
motors of the company to secure ice
houses On the lakes. The scheme is
being placed before the people of the
city by two we'll known Kenoshans
and considerable stock has already
been subscribed for. The company
will be capitalized at SIS, 1000.
The men have already secured an
option on tract of land on the shores
of one of the lakes and it is planned
to erect an ice house with 10000 tons
capacity before the opening of the
ice cutting season. Money must be
secured for the erection of the house
before ground is broken. 1t is neces-
sary for the company to secure rail
way connection with the house and
this is where the trust will, make the
fight. The trust officials will make
every possible effort to prevent the
railway company from granting
switching privileges to an independ-
ent company.
Its thought that with house of
10000 tons capacity there would be
no trouble to fill all the orders for ice
IN Kenosha for many years. The
consumption of ice in the city during
the last season was in the neighbor-
hood of 6, 1000 tons The plan of the pro-
motors of the new company is to make
it in way a cooperative com any,
and the men holding stock in it will
of cours9 secure their ice at the lowest
possible margin of profit. Other
people IN the city will be served at
the market price.
1t is expected that the trust would
make hard fghton any independent
concern that enters Kenosha, but even
with such fight the men interested
in the new company believe that the
people of the city would be sufficiently
loyal to the company to make 1t a
successful venture. Many people
have agreed to make contracts with
the new company for all of next sea-
son and added to this they will take
stock in the new company.
The Independent Ice companies are
again beginning to invade Kenosha
county, and it is stated that three
independent ice houses are now in
course of erection on the shores of
different lakes in the county. These
houses are to be completed within
the next thirty days, and should the
Kenosha company fail to raise money
in time to erect an ice house it will be
an easy matter for it to secure ice
from one of these independent COM
panies.
It is probable that a public an
nouncement Of the plans of the COM
pany will be made by the men backing
it within the next few days.

County Clerk Crosby Receives
Annual Apportionment for
State Taxes.
NO GREAT REDUCTION SHOWN
School Tax and Special Taxes to be Paid
by the County Will be $13,457.19
Against $2o,244.ss for Last
Year.

County Clerk w. c.. Crosby received
90 from Walter L. Houser, secretary of
state, this morning the annual APP
portionment Of state taxes to be paid
by kenosha county. IT should be I'M
derstood that no direct state tax is to
bepaid and the amount collected by
90 the state is for the payment Of school
expenses and for the support Of the
various institutions. The total to be
paid for these purposes by kenosha
90 county is placed at S13, 457.19. III the
former year the amount assessed for
the same purposes was 80, 244. 88.
The total amount assessed against
90 the county for state school taxes this
year So, 28O.75 aud large portion of
this amount will be paid back to the
schools later. The other items com
ing under the head Of special taxes
to be paid for the county, are for the
30 support of various state institutions
This includes $3228. 90 for the care
of the chronic insane, $685.. 90 for the
support of the Northern hospital for
the insane at Winnebago, $266. SO for
90 the Industrial school for boys, and
So54.60 for the home of the feeble
minded.
Kenosha county has patients in all
of these institutions and the tax
levied is for the care of such patients
~ At the present time the county is
caring for about fifty insane patients
IN the different ospitals in the state
and the care Of these patients makes
the item of care of the chronic insane
W a large one.
Added to these taxes there is a
special state levy against the town of
Salem for the amount Of 1923 rs. this
amount being due for principal and
90 interest on money borrowed for the
purpose of building new school
building.
The amount of state and special
90 taxes to be paid by the city this year
will be about half the total amount
and the reduction from the amount
paid last year will be between two and
90 three thousand dollars. This change
will not cut any great figure in the
aking of the annual tax levy for the
city as the amount of the state tax is
always SO small that it would amount
90 to only fraction Of mill tax
4 nG COiuNllllGG Ola uGdnCe is now at
work making up the apportionment
of the city money for the coming year
and it is expected that the annual
10 lazy will be made at the first meeting
of the council in December. If posi-
BILE the levy will be smaller than last
year, and the aldermen have been
90 using every possible effort to reduce
it to per cent levy, but it is hardly
possible that they will gain this end.
Many large expenses will be laid on
the city next year, and for this reason
W it is found difficult matter to bring
about the reduction. Some of the
members of the council have been in
favor of the making of a Is mill levy
J 90 in order to reduce the Indebtedness of
the city, but it is not thought tina
any plan of this nature will meet with
favor with the council.

TO INCREASE SALARIES
Rural Carriers in Wisconsin to Have an
Increase if Recon- m ndation Carries

Rural Carriers in Wisconsin to Have an
Increase if Recon- m nd tion Carries
The salaries of rural carriers num-
being SO, 500 men and women, will be
increased by congress at the coming
session, if a recommendation that will
be submitted by Postmaster General
Cortelyou is put into the form of
law. The present administration of
the postal service decided a week or
so ago to take such action in the case
of clerks in first and second class
postoffices and city carriers, and to-
day the announcement was made that
rural carriers will be cared for in
like manner. The present salaries
range from about $500 year to a
maximum of 500. 1t is certain that
the maximum will be increased and
that the increases will be recommend
ed for carriers in all grades. In Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa. Indiana,
Illinois, and Michigan, and the Da-
kotas there are IL, 619 70 utes in opera
ton with corresponding number of
carriers. In Wisconsin there are L.
483 carriers; in Michigan, 1888; in
Illinois, 2,734; in Indiana, 2.128, and
in Minnesota, 1,472. The rural car
riers have been clamoring for some
time for increased salary, claiming
that the increased cost of living and
the expense to which they are put in
purchasing equipment justified addi-
tional compensation.
