which can, assure you is true in
every particular.
The valuation of our land has neen
raised by the assessor of the town of
Winter to IN outrageous mark so that
our taxes are over $50 per annum.
You have been here and you know
that If such a rate of taxation was
maintained throughout the state
there wouldn't be a farmer left do
ing business within the borders of
Wisconsin in three years time un.
less he had very large bank account;
and, not being content with such
work of destruction, the county treas
urer OF Sawyer county has issued a
fictitious tax certificate of the state

halt on that guerrilla band at Hay
ward and make that much talked of
investigation it would bring this dis
graceful conspiracy to a close and
thereby prevent the murder of my
self and family, for there is no oues-
ton but what we will be shot by BUSH
whackers from ambush next summer.
In conclusion I will say | can see
no honor in compromise when there
is principle and our birthright at

my word and have proclaimed it to

A SANITARY MEASURE.

And indeed why should not the ten
thousand commercial travellers whose
annual peregrinations gridiron this
state in myriad ways be made as Sc
cure as possible from the danger ~
contracting diseases by reason of up4
sanitary hotel conveniences? They
are great and important class quite
as much entitled to benevolent at
tention from legislators as various
other elements which fall under the
paternal aegis.
They merely ask for hotel beds and
hotel towels free as may be from tho
menace of disease germs, and Sena-
tor H. w. Barker seeks to recognize
the justice of their claims in a bin
which he has introduced. It's provi.
sions can not possibly be regarded as
being characterized by harshncss
All that is demanded is that the foul
old endless towel, ever turning on
roller with each succeeding wipe, be
outlawed, and that the upper bed
sheet be long enough to permit OF II
being turned back well over the GOV.
ers, thus protecting the occupant OF
the bed from coming into direct
physical contact with the rest OF the
bedclothes.
Ugh!
1t makes one fairly shudder to
think what loathsome and diseased
creatures may have slept In that very
bed the night before with perhaps no
change since except mayhap the sub
stitution OF sheets, always short
enough to have permitted bodily con-
tact with the perennial quilts and,
maybe, their seeding with mischie.
vous microbes. Really first-class
hotels now provide individual towels.
All should be required to adopt the
sanitary provision. Disease easily
may be conveyed from one pair of
hands to another through the medium
of towel common to all, and when
ten thousand travelling men deem this
condition a jeopardy, and when Its
correction is simple, there can be no
good reason why II should not be
made. And the same is true in re-
gard to bedsheets Il Is an entirely
reasonable demand that they should
be Of kind to protect the sleeper
from disease germs off the person OF
the occupant OF the room the night
before.
This proposed legislation is said to
be novel, 80 much to the credit OF

dangers and dscomforts ION the

interpreted as condemnatory. II ia
legislation in the cause OF health
and, while we are ready and anxious
TO battle even with state funds
against tuberculosis. there can be no

poses are better understood
