BOARD Of HEALTH
LITTLE PUZZLED
Question as to Legality of
New Creation as Result
of Ordinance,
(From Fridays Daily.)

A meeting Of the board of health
was held at the city building last
evening to consider the matter of
organization. 1t is understood that
there is something OF a question as
to the legality of the board in view of
the fact that the city already has a
health officer. One OF the members
of the board stated last evening that
it was their intention to enforce the
new milk ordinance to the letter as
far as 1t is in their power. Accord
ing to the terms of the ordinance, the
owners of cows have from the first
of November until the first Of january
to have thier cows subjected to a
tuberculin test and IN case the test Is
not made by that time they are sut-
ject to a fine according to the terms
OF the new ordinance which was pass
ed after recent meeting Of the council
after stubborn fight for many months
on the part of the aldermen who cham
pioned the measure.

STATE TAXES FOR
COUNTY SCHOOLS
ABOUT HALF OF WHAN HAVE
BEEN PAST THREE YEARS.
One Fourth Of What Law Author
ICES to Be COlleCtGd-Sdm to Be
Paid BY Jefferson Co. IS Sl4.003.,
43. While Dodge County Sum is
Sl9.l6l.42

The figures computed in the office
of Secretary of State Houser, repre-
senting the amount of school taxes to
be paid by the several counties of the
state this year, are comparatively
small, being only about half of what
they have been for the last three
years, and only about fourth of
what the law authorizes to be collected.
Had no remission of all the state
and half of the so-called mill tax for
schools been made the amount to be
paid by Milwaukee county would be
over $500, 600. 1t is only $126, $685. 06.
This of course is the largest contri-
button OF the list of counties. Dare
county comes second with a tax of
$29, ,39S, ,78. Dane would be char ged
about SIT 600 but for the remission.
The total school tax to be collected
this year is $643, $50 and each county
Will receive back from the state more
than it pays. The money that will be
apportioned back to the counties will
be for schools and the aggregate
amount Will be just twice the total of
the taxes collected.
The sums to be- paid by Jefferson
and Dodge coutnties this year are as
follows jefferson, $l4, 43; Dodge
$40, 161.4

Steel trust, while selling steel rails
cheaper abroad than at home, is de-
claring dividends of over fifty mill
ions annually in excess of legitimate
returns on it's money invested. The
direct results of our policy is seen in
the attitude taken by Canada and Ger
many. The Canadian parliament,
which meets November 18th, will
have submitted to it, through the
Canadian Tariff Commissioners, a new
tariff bill. This bill provides first
a maximum tariff to apply to countries
whose tariffs are hostile to Canada
such as United States and Germany !;
and second,- minimum tariff to
apply tu countries that are disposed
to trade with Canada on fair terms
and third, preferential tariff to
apply to Great Britain and it's colonies.
Germany one our best customers, is
about to wage a tariff war on Ameri-
can products.
Do not be misled by the cry of
"Stand by Roosevelt Every pru-
gressive measure Mr.. Roosevelt has
championed has received the unquali-
fled support of the democratic men,
bers of both houses of congress. The
suppression of trusts and and combi-
nations, the granting of additional
powers to the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been democratic
demands for years. What little pro-
ress the president has made long
these lines has met with democratic
support. In the greater advances,
which the times demand, he can count
on the same support. We will stand
by Roosevelt as long as he stands by
the people and not for trusts.
There is another question involved
in this campaign, that is edo the vo
ters of this district wish to reward John
M. Nelson for his unjust, persistent
and unmanly warfare against H. G.
Adams, whose place he now fills (O

First on the tariff: The issue on
the tariff question in this campaign IS
not between theoretical protection
and theoretical free-trade, it is be-
tween exaggerated protection, pro-
ducing monopoly and fair and just
revision of the schedules in behalf of
the general welfare. The former is
the republican position the latter the
democratic. l believe that our party
is honestly fighting unlawful combina-
tions and corporations, made possible
by law, entrenched behind prohibi-
tive tariff buttressed by subsidies and
fostered by special rates and rebates,
plundering the people with one hand
while with the other they reach for
foreign conquests and sell their
products cheaper abroad than they
sell to our own tariff taxed people.
The republican party has issued its
'stand-pat' congressional textbook
and is going to the polls on its "stand
pat" record. If it succeed in electing
majority of the next house of repre-
sentatives, it will claim that its oppo-
sitlon of tariff revision and reciprocity
have been endorsed by the people.
It's success will also encourage the
passage of the Ship Subsidy Bill,
which means the payment of millions
into the pockets of the American ship
owners, drawn from the taxes of the
people. The so-called Subsidy Bill
has already passed the senate, Feb
ruary 4th, 1906, by a vote of 3S re
publicans for, as against % democrats
and republicans voting in the mega
tive. | believe that continuation
of the present tariff schedule will in
evitabIy lead to direct retallatory
measures on the part of foreign ma
tions, with whom we now have pros
sperous trade. This means restrict
ed market for the products of the fac
tory AS we'll as the farm. i believe
that voters of the Second congress
siopal district will not approve of
the continuation of a policy which
threatens these results and which has
built up enormous trusts and COM
bines, which have waxed rich and fat
by excessive tariff profits, paid
by the American consumer. 1t has
been shown that the United States
