supervisor Parksr,s Idea.
The Detroit News. of Monda.

The Detroit News, of Monday even
| ing contains the following:
Supervisor Charles w Parker. the
Owosso man who at the meeting of
| supervisors association in Lansing,
| defended the state tax commission,
says that his Partially to the Com
mission Is not due to the fact that his
son, Crescent A. Parker, has been a
clerk several years in the Office of
| the tax commission. Parker senior,
says that he believes that the COM
mission is composed of experts who
have done their duty to the general
| taxpayer and the railroads without
| fear or favor.
"No three men can do better than
they have DONE" declared Mr.. Parker
"As a matter of fact, lot of this
sentiment against the tax commission
throughout the state has been manu-
featured by the supervisors. When
a supervisor is compelled to raise the
assessment of some influential man,
the latter puts up kick, what does
the supervisor say to get out of the
blame? Nine times out of ten he'll
say: The tax commission made me do
it. So the tax commission is bearing
the burdens which not only belong to
them, but also blame which belongs
to the supervisors.
81 don't think this county is any
better than any other, but combina-
ton of circumstances has forced our
valuation up to the poin where the
law says it shall be-and it is on the
rolls at cash value. There is no use
making any bones about it, if a sup
ervisor can favor the people who elect
him he Is agoing to do it. The law
says that the board of supervisors
shall not equalize personal property,
and thousands of dollars worth of it
never gets on the rolls and never will.
l know of cases in cities where man
owns team and two or three We
hicles upon which he pays tax.
SIS that true with the railroads?
No, sir. When the railroad property
was valued by tax experts a few
years ago, everything from a spike
maui up was charged. When Mr.
Shields, of the tax commission, told
us that the property of the state, ex-
elusive of the railroads, was not val
ued higher than So per cent of it's
cash value, think he put the valu-
alton too high After his talk, a jack
son county supervisor said to me:
Parker, he's right; you know it, and
l know it; all of us do. Why my
house cost me $4,000, and it's down
on the roll for $500"
Then Parker handed he following
wallop to the supervisors associa-
tion
cit was the first session of this as
ISOLATION l had ever attended, but it
looked to me like a vehicle to adj
vance of the political aspirations of
President Kimmerle. The outfit in
control is composed of democrats
(Kimmerle)' and Greenbacker-Popu
list-Free Silverite Frank Dodge, who
is secretary, and the old fellow from
Mason, who is treasurer. The meet
ings are supposed to give us bet
ter idea of taxation and legislation,
but it has drifted far from that.
About all we heard there were at
tacks on the administration, the tax
commission and everything else re-
publican The association has out
lived it's usefulness"

Former Congressman Isaac Ste
phenson Turns His Kenosha
Herd Over to the State
OFFICIALS ARE TO EXAMINE.
In Effort to Aid the State in Stamp
ing Ont Tuberculosis in Cattle Mr..
Stephenson Orders Every AT
fected Animal Killed
From Thursdays Daily.)

| In order to aid the officers of the
state in their effort to stamp out the
tubercu1ous disease among the cattle
| of the state former Congressman
Isaac Stephenson has turned his
famous Kenosha county herd over to
the state veterinary with instructions
that every animal in the herd found
affected with the disease be slaugh-
tered at once.
State Veterinarian E. D. Roberts,
Of Madison, came to Kenosha We'd
nesday afternoon and appeared before
appointment of board of appraisers
to determine the value of the cattle
to be taken by the state. The board
will be appointed tomorrow. This
morning Veterinarian Roberts and an
army of assistants went to the Steph-
enson farm to begin the work Of test
| ing the cattle. The cattle have al
ready been tested by James Torrey,
the manager Of the big farm and he
If satisfied that many of the animals

stated in the request for the appoint
ment of appraisers, but it is said that
about rs animals are affected with
the disease and Mr. Stephenson will
insist that every one of these animals
be taken by the state and killed.
The sacrifice made by Mr.. Stephen
son is great one as many of the
cattle are very valuable. Only few
| days ago the manager of the farm re-
fused to accept $500 for one of the
cows which is to be tested by the
state officials. La accordance with the
statel law the value Of the cattle is to
be determined by the board of ap-
praisers but it is understood that in
no case shall the state pay more than
S33 for any one animal. There is
scarcely an animal Oh the Stephenson
farm that is not worth many times
the amount set by the state.
State Veterinarian Roberts will
spend several days in Kenosha county
and most of this time will be taken
up at the Stephenson farm. AS soon
as the animals have been removed
from the herd and the value placed
upon them they will be shipped to
Milwaukee and slaughtered. The
state has entire charge of the killing
of the animals and the disposing of
the carcasses.
It is thought that the visit of the
state officials will have the result of
awakening spirit Of fairness among
the farmers of the county and that the
services of the state will be asked by
other parties. 1t is claimed that the
disease exists in many herds in the
county but most of the farmers after
the discovery Of the disease carefully
and quietly dispose of the animals for
beef and in this manner save them
selves from loss.

MEET AT WAUKESHA
Members of Wisconsin Archeo-
logical Society to Meet at
Carroll College.
KEN0SHANS ARE INTERESTED.

The Wisconsin Archaeological soci-
ETY. will hold its field assembly, at Car
roll College, Waukesha, on Saturday,
May 10th, 1906. The ceremonies will
begin promptly at 1870 a. m. They
will be appropriate and impressive,
and will appeal to all who are inter-
ested in the educational and historical
value, and the desired preservation
Of the remarkable mounds and other
remains Of the earliest Inhabitants Of
Wisconsin.
Every effort has been made by
President Wilbur O. Carrier and Car
roll College, and by the society to pro-
vide for the comfort and entertain
ment of all guests. The morning
session on the college campus will be
of very informal nature, thus en-
abling all to become thoroughly &C
quainted. The speakers are selected
from among the most distinguished
of the society's members.
An especially interesting feature of
the afternoon session will be the un-
yelling by the ladies of the Waukesha
Woman club, of the Cutler mound
tablet.
The society has many members in
Kenosha county and these and many
members of other local organizations
are expected to be present. The
mounds preserved in Cutler Park and
on the Carroll college grounds are
among the fnest in Southern iscon-
sin. One eff1gy measures nearly 200
feet in the length; the largest burial
mound is Is feet in diameter and 10
! feet in height. Upon this large earth
work the explanatory bronze tablet
will be placed by the ladies of Wau-
kesha.
The collections to be jointly ex-
hibited on this occasion by Carroll
and the society will be of unequa11ed
extent and richness. The huge Ring
eisen stone axe weighing 40 pounds
and measuring 80 inches in length
will make It's first public appearance
on this OCCASION. It holds the honor
of being the largest and heaviest
stone implement ever found in the
United States, and is alone we'll worth
the journey to Waukesha to see.
i Some Of the copper implements are
Of unusual length and weight. The
Wisconsin society is actively inter
ested in the upbui1ding of representa-
tive collections of local prehistoric
implements in every educational in.
stitution in the state. For many
years these treasures have fallen into
/ the hands of dealers and have thus
become lost to Wisconsin people.
AS soon as the new Walter L.
Rankin Science Hall of Carroll college
I is completed, the very valuable r. T.
Porter and other collections belong.
ing to individual members of the
society will bethere installed.

DECIDES ON PLACE
Democrats to Hold Convention
in Milwaukee on June
27 and .28

The Democratic state convention
for the purpose of formulating plat
form will be called to order Wednes-
day, June 81, in Milwaukee.
The time and place for holding the
convention was practically settled in
Madison, as, although it was impos-
sible for all the members Of the sub
committee of the state central com
mittee appointed to arrange for the
convention to meet IN Madison, the
absent ones we're communicated with
by Chairman Manson over the tele-
phone, and the day and place for the
convention were thus arranged.
Mr.. Manson visited Milwaukee
Monday intending to make announce
ment ofAthe convention day and place
at once, but w. F. Woolfe, of La
Crosse, was there with an earnest
plea that La Crosse be given consid-
Grafton asa possible location for the
convention that Mr.. Manson decided
to hold the matter open until yester-
day and to again communicate with
the committee members.
After reaching Wausau last ening
further telephone conferences were
held by Mr.. Manson with the other
members of the committee, and as a
result of these conferences it was de-
cided to make no change in the pro-
gram.
The formal call for the convention
will be issued at cnce and the call
will provide for something over zoe
delegates, the apportionme to be
one delegate for every $50 Democratic
votes cast.in the election of 1904.
The hall which will be utilized for
the convention has not yet been
selected but it will probably be one OF
the theatres. It is expected that the
convention will last two days, We'd.

ARE MAKING A LIST
LaFoIIette Men to Issue Circular
il Regard to approved"
Members of the Assembly
CURTISS TO HAVE SANCTION


The La Toilette leaders in Madison
have their list Of assembly can
didates pretty we'll in hand and a
quiet announcement was made recent
| ly from Secretary of State Houser's
Office that the half-breed leaders
would be able to send out before May
20 to s'the faithful in the districts the
names of the men who had been
chosen to represent them in the as
sembly, if the La Toilette plans can
be carried out. Of the out and out La
Toilette men who will run again there
can be named John A. Henry of the
Adams and Marquette counties dis
trict, Almond P. Jurdee of Burnett
and Polk counties, William Rufus
Turner of Columbia county, James
Dinsdale of Crawford county, John S.
Donald of Dane county, Charles A.
Evans and Charles Saugen of Eau
Claire county, DR.. John w. Powell of
Fond du Lac county, Duncan Nc
Gregor and Joseph p. Chandler of
Grant county, Fred Ties of Green
county, w. M. Curtiss of Kenosha
county, John Thomas of Racine
county, Herman L. Ekern of Trempe-
leau county, and James A. Mckenzie
and Roderick Ainsworth of Waukesha
county.
There may be one or two others adj
ded to this list later. Thus, Assem-
blyman Bell of Racine county will
probably be added to this list, al
though he has not as yet given up all
hope Of being advanced to the state
senate. Complications in the Racine
county district which have resulted
| in other candidates for the state SEN
ate have rather thrown a damper on
Mr.. Bells ambition, but until he de-
cides on the state senatorial PROPOSE
ton his assembly candidacy under a
strictly half-breed banner will be held
in allegiance.

THE pavements cost pile Of money
and they are not in very good shape
either for the comparatively short
time they have been down. There are
lot of bad places that could be re-
paired now at a small expense, how
ever, and the work should be done at
once. Too many times the pavements
have been taken up for some purpose
or other and the parties who lid the
damage have evidently not been at
any pains to repair it but the work
should be done by the city and
charged UP to the people responsible.

pumps, we do not believe that there
can be any very great objection to al
lowing the' company any favors IN
reason. 1t is useless to deny that a
dangerous amount of sewerage emp
ties into Jerome creek making it
practically an open sever and dan.
gerous menace to health in warm
weather, and the bic flow of fresh wa.
ter from the mills may prevent lot
of sickness this summer, if the pumps
get to work in time to keep the waters
of the creek from stagnating. About
the best thing for the city to do is to
help along the building of the pump
ing station in every way.

THE Pleasant Prairie plant is one
of the lucky plants of the Laflin-Rand
company, in that in all the accidents
that must inevitably happen in the
hazardous business of powder making
there has been no loss Of life among
the employees of the big plant.
Among the managers of the big plant
the enormous property loss has been
forgotten in rejoicing over the fact
that all the employees escaped
practically unhurt, and it is just pure
luck that such tremendous explosion
could take place without killing some
body.

THERE are many things in Keno
sha that man who takes pride in his
city might wish to have different but
there is always one place where the
casual visitor who is being "shown
the town" can always be taken with
out apology and that is the library
park. There is no more beautiful
spot in any city in the country and it
is strange thing that this fact seems
to be appreciated more by strangers
than by our own people.

FUSE BLOWS OUT
After Motorman Is scorched Woman
Abuses Him

After Motorman Is Scorched Woman
Abuses Him
Passengers on an interurban car
which left Milwaukee for Racine and
Kenosha at 2 O'Clock Friday after
noon were thrown into panic by the
blowing out Of a fuse as the car was
nearing South Milwaukee. Flames
shooting from the motor box set fire
to the motorman's clothing.
The passengers rushed for the rear
door of the car, screams of women
and children adding to the general
confusion. The conductor and several
men who retained composure barred
the door, and finally succeeded in
quieting the excited crowd. The
passengers were transferred to an
other car to complete their trip.
While the flames we're shooting
from the motor box the motorman was
unable to reach the controller, and
the car tore along unguided for some
distance.
An elderly matron with a child in
her arms abused the conductor for
carrying her past her corner.
+ Several Kenosha passengers were
on the car.

THE property owners are paying a
good price for their street sprinkling
this year, and the council should see
to it that the work is done in a man
ner satisfactory to the people who are
paying the bills. The sprinkling tax
is assessed upon and made lien
against property, and the owner is
obliged to pay it, whether he thinks
he has had his moneys worth or not,
and for that reason a special effort
should be made to give good service.
The amount to each individual is too
small to fight about, but the aggregate
is large, and the property owners
have a right to expect that the council
will look after their interests.

II is certain that the first man who
is responsible for any accident due to
fast and reckless speeding is going to
get the limit Of the law. The public
is beginning to get very bitter on this
subject, and repeated warnings have
had no effect.
