WILL FIGHT THE BILL
Officials of the LafIin-Rand Co.
to Oppose Passage Of Cuftiss
Bill in the Legislature
FEAR RUIN OF BIG BUSINESS

Charles Patterson. General Super
intendent for the Latin Rand Powder
Company, and c. McCloud, an attor-
ney from Marinette, came to Keno
sha today and left at once for Pleas
ant Prairie to make an inspection of
the plant of the Latin Rand Powder
Company at that point. 1t is stated
that the two men are here to secure
data to make fight before the legis-
lature on the bill recently proposed
by Assem- blyman w. NJ. Curtiss of
this county. The bill was presented
by Assembly Curtiss at the re.
quest of the people Of the town of
Pleasant Prairie and it is claimed that
if it is passed and its provisions en-.
forced by the State II will practically
drive the big powder making COM
pany out of business so3 far as the
Pleasant Prairie plant Is concerned.
While the feeling against the
powder mills is pretty strong about
the village of Pleasant Prairie
it is claimed that kson1e Of the
people recognize the fact that the
company has spent a large sum of
money on the plant and it is possible
that the people would be willing to
have the law changed SO that the COM
pany may continue in business. The
petitions for the passageeof the bill
signed by Kenosha county people are
now being filed in Madison and the
managers of the company will go be-
fore the Legislature and make a
strong statement of their side of the
controversy 1t IS expected that the
bill will come before the Legislature
for passage the latter part of next

AT FIRST glance twenty-five thous-
and dollars looks like good deal of
money for the city to put into the
cemetery, but when you consider that
the payments are spread over period
of ten years, and that at the end of
that time the Cemetery Association
assumes ali responsibility for the
care of the cemetery, and the city will
never be called upon again for more
money, it does not seem so much.
Furthermore, it should be taken into
consideration that in the time covered
by the payments the association will
expend at least as much as the city
pays, and probably much more, in
permanent improvements of which
every lot owner and the public gen.
orally will have the benefit. la the
aggregate the city has spent great
deal of money on the cemetery, but
the present system of caring for it
has never proved much of a success,
and for years the condition OF the
cemetery has been nothing less than
disgrace TO our city. Something
will have to be done soon to improve
matters at the cemetery either by the
city or the association, and we think
that most of the people of the city
will approve any action the Council
may take to turn over the response
bility for the care of the city of the
dead to this association which is com.
posed Of men who are perfectly able
to carry out any agreements they
may enter into with the Council or
nybody else.

AID FOR BAKhls
Board May Be Asked to Appoint 8n
Assistant District Attorney.

Several of the mem bers of the
County Board from both the city and
the county have been discussing
plan for the0selection of an assistant
district attorney for Kenosha county
and the matter will probably be taken
up at the next meeting of the board.
The present term of the Circuit Court
has shown that it is almost impossible
for one man to do ali Of the work of
the district attorneys Office and do it
right. Nearly all of the time of At
torney Baker during the past year
has been taken up with state cases
and for this week he receives a salary
Of 5000 a year. It is pretty certain
that Attorney Baker would never
consent to try such a calendar as the
one this year again without an assist
ant or large increase in salary. IF
an assistant were appointed to take
charge of the Justice Court work of
the Office it would not be a difficult
matter for the Attorney to take
charge of the work in the Circuit
Court,

ROAD TAXES IN CASH
Measure That Would Help the Good
Road Movement

Road Movement
A bill of more than ordinary merit,
AS, by Senator Pearson, relates to
the payment of road taxes. It pro-
vides that stal1 taxes assessed for
highway purposes shall be paid in
money to tho town treasurer at the
time and in the manner other taxes
are paid. The moneys received from
such taxes shall be disbursed by said
treasurer on warrants drawn by dir
ection of the supervisors.
The passage of this bill will do
away with that antiquated and mex
cusab1e relic that has for SO long been
the bane Of the Wisconsin road sys-
tenn, viz, working out the road tax.
There is movement in Wisconsin
that has for its purpose the removal
of the constitutional barrier which
stands in the way of state aid for
roads. The shortest possible time,
however, within which that end can
be accomplished is two years and
then thereSmay be difficulties to over
more before material results can be
accomplished. Hence It is that any
proposal that has in view more i'm
mediate results for better highway
conditions should met with hearty APP
prevail.
The people of Wisconsin pay an
nually $3,OOO,00O for roa1 building and
maintenance. That is, such a sum is
assessed against the taxpayers of the
state for that purpose. But through
the system of working out the tax
which prevails quite generally the
results accomplished are not more
than 81, 500, 900 in value or one-ha1f of
the amount of the tax levied. In
other words, the unbnsinesslike meth
DDS that prevail in the road districts
results in an actual waste of at least
yone-halfi Of the tax, and as conse-
quence 1our Highway are rated as
fairly good to very bad" when, with
the expenditure Of SO large sum
they might be characterized as flair
good to very good"
Senator Pearson's bill proposes to
accomplish one of the desirable re-
forms, one that has been the hope of
students of the road problem for many
years, and if the bill can be passed
the new law will go long way to-
ward the solution of the question.

One Hundred and Twenty-0ne
Pieces Of Property To Be
Sold for Taxes
ONLY TWO TOWNS PAID
Brighton and Wheatlapd Only Towns in
County Having no Delinquent Tax
-Kenosha Leads With
Total ofAbout$1 500

County Treasurer Frank Marx this
morning completed his task of maxi
ing up the list of delinquent taxpay-
ers IN the city and county and this
list shows that there are 121 pieces of
property in the county on which the
taxes we're not paid in the time
limited by the laws of the state and
these are to be sold for taxes in the
usual manner. The towns of Brigh-
ton and Wheatland are the only two
towns in the county in switch the
town treasurer presents a clean bill.
There are but two delinquent tax
payers in the town of Bristol, and but
one in the town of Paris. The town
Of Salem has five and Randall has
eleven. The largest amount Of the
delinquent tax in the county towns is
in the town of Pleasant Prairie. The
records from the town of Somers show
a total of twenty-five delinquent tax
payers, but the amounts charged
against them are decidedly small, and
the total for all will be less than $40.
In most cases where deliuqueucies
are reported from Somers the tax is
on small village lots, the amount
being but $,72. In Pleasant Prairie
there are thirty-six del;nquents, the
largest amount being $293.44 Much
of this property in Pleasant Prairie
is in small pieces in the suburbs of
Kenosha.
In the city of Kenosha there are
forty-four pieces of property on which
the taxes have not been paid. Many
pieces of the property are pieces
that has been returned as delinquent
for several years past and the amount
Of taxes due on them is small. The
total amount for Kenosha is about
81, 900 while the total amount from the
county is estimated at So, 400. One
of the factories in Kenosha is marked
as delinquent, the amount being Sis

will be paid before the annual tax

sale the latter part of May but should
the owners settle now they will have
to pay an added percent for interest
on the taxes.
In all the amount returned this year
IS larger than the amount returned
last year. Ia some cases the proper
ties are held on account of the failure
to pay certain special assessments
levied by the Common Council. and It
is possible that some of the delin-
quents will make an effort to test the
law under which these assessments
are made. The list of delinquents
will be published within the next few
weeks

AS BETWEEN spring and fall shoe

AS BETWEEN spring and fall shoot
ing the true sportsman can have but
one choice. He will do his shooting
in the fall when the birds are fiji to
eat and strong on the wing. 1t may
seem little unjust to the Wisconsin
hunter that he is not allowed to shoot
in the spring, when it is permitted in
adjoining states, but Wisconsin is I'M
doubleday right in the matter, and it
will not be long before public senti-
ment will force the passage id other
states of laws similar to the one now
in force here. 1t must be done if the
game is to be preserved at all, and
the men who hunt should be the first
to recognize that fact.

WILL STOP SALE OF TICKETS


Several Kenosha men who have
been selling. tickets of the Honduras
National Lottery company have rea-
son to be on the anxious seat, as fed
eraI authorities have the names of
lottery agents from Chicago and they
may be called as witnesses in an in
vestigation federal authorities are
soon to make. e -gs
The government has started an in
vestigation into the sale of Honduras
lottery tickets in this country. 1t has
been discovered that Chicago is the
distributing point for the northwest
and that incidentally fourishing
business of this character has been
conducted in Chicago as well. The
inquiry into this alleged violation of
the federal statutes is to be held in
Alabama, and five Chicago men have
been subpoenaed to appear before
grand jury at Mobile next Thursday.
The ranlifcations of the lottery
business, which, although clearly
violation of the federal laws, is de-
clared to have grown up in the coun-
try, cannot be estimated. Practically
every city of any size in the country
is said to have some place where these
tickets have been disposed Of each
month. In most places the tickets
have been placed in the hands of
'saloonkeepers or proprietors of news
4 60 dc II Ia -
stances Pullman car porters are said
to have acted as agents. Among the
cities which will send delegations be-
fore the Mobile grand jury are St.
Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Cincinnati, Louisville, Gal
weston, New Orleans, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Richmond, Denver, Salt Lake, Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Cleveland and De-
troit.
The Honduras lottery, revival of
the old Louisiana lottery, has been
operated in the Central American re.
public since 1897, and as Congress
passed an act prohibiting the sending
of lottery tickets through the mails
or by express the pasteboard slips
have been carried about the country
to the various agents by travelling
men. The amount of money taken in
by these agencies scattered all over
the country each month is said to be
enormous. When questioned by the
secret service men, Martin Open
helm, "a La Sale street, Chicago,
agent for the company, is said to have
admitted that he disposed of between
S., 200 and 81, 500 worth Of tickets each
month. The capital prize in the lot
terry is 100000, but as this can only
be won by a full ticket costing 81.
whereas the ordinary purchaser rarely
buys more than one.sixteenth of a
ticket, costing Is cents, large sum
is fseldon realized by an individual.
1t is reported that several years ago
thezhclder of one ticket won 100000
prize and one Of the agents examined
by the government reported the pay
ment of one for So, 500.
Kenosha men have won prizes from
the Honduras lottery, the highest
amount ever paid here being So, 500.
Hundreds of dollars worth of tickets
have been disposed of each month in
Kenosha but there have been few
winners.
