THIS city has the reputation Of be-
ing the abiding place of more "base-
ball cranks" than any other city of
it's size in the country, and we are
glad Of it. 1t is a good sign. Keno
sha is a better town, morally and
physically, when the games are going
on. The interest taken in the sport is
much more potent influence for tenn
perance and good order than most Of
the people who deal in theories, and
not with facts, have any idea Of, but a
glance at the police report on Mon
DAY morning following rainy Sun
day should be enough to convince any
of the opponents Of baseball that the
followers of the games are apt to in
dulge in much more harmful pursuits,
when deprived Of their favorite
amusement There have been rumors
that an attempt would be made to
stop Sunday games next summer, but
the managers of the different leagues
can go ahead and make their SEIZED
ules in perfect confidence that their
teams will be allowed to play them
out. Public opinion would not back
up any attempt to stop the games in
this civ

The report of the first assistant
postmaster general, which declares
that the department favors locating
new federal buildings as near as pos
sible to railway stations in order to
facilitate the receipt ard dispatch Of
mails, may be one Of the causes for
the long delay in selecting a site in
this city that has been overlooked by
the property owners interested. The
question of price may not be the all
important consideration after all, and
if the department applies the rule laid
down by the first assistant postmaster
general to this city, it may be that the
new federal building will be located
on land farther west than any of the
sites yet offered the government.

THE representatives of this county
in the Legislature will doubtless do
what they can for the Municipal
Court bill but the real work needed to
push the bill through will have to be
done right here in Kenosha. To have
any hope of passing the Legislature
the bill must be Endorsed by the
County Board Of Supervisors and the
City Council and the opposition to the
measure will doubtless make itself
felt when the proposition to endorse
it comes up in these bodies and there
is where the fight will develop if there
is going to be any determined opposi-
tion to the bill.

TO HAVE JUST Law
Bill Pending Before Legislature
Plans to Secure Taxation Of
Evidences Of Debt
WANT THE ASSESSORS MARK


One of the most unique measures
now pending before the Legislature is
a bill which, should it become law,
would certainly place on the statute
books a great amount of personals
property now hidden from the eyes of
the assessors.
The measure provides that no evil
dence of debt shall be the subject of
suit for the collection of the debt
unless it is stamped by the assessor
and thus shows that it is bearing it's
proportion of the tax burdens of the
state.
In other words, stocks, bonds, me-
gotiable paper, and in fact almost all
forms of personal property would by
this law be uncovered to taxation. 1t
is doubtful if under the terms of the
measure the account books of the gro-
Ger and butcher as well as CHECKS and
drafts, which are certainly evidences
sof debt, would not have first to be
carried to the assessor, and be given
the approval of his signature before
becoming useful in the business ex-
change of the community. Certainly
they are evidences of debt, and evil
dences of debt which at times must be
the basis of legal action to compel
their payment.
Whether men would risk being un-
able to use them in court of law
without the assessors approval is
question, and should this bill become
ia law, assessors at beck and call will
become necessities 70 the community.
There is little danger that this
measure would ever become a law,
but it illustrates the demand which is
being pressed on this Legislature for
the better assessment of personal
property, and while there are many
members who take the view of Tax
Commissioners Curtis and ellison that
evidences of debt and credits should
not be subject to taxation, still the
majority in the assembly at least
seem pledged to the opposite theory.
A bill forSthe taxation of mortgages
at least will pass the Assembly, but
its fate in the upper house will be a
matter of doubt until the final vote is
taken, for the reason that a canvass
Of the senate shows the members to
be very equally divided on this SUBJ
iect. of the taxation of credit. Two
years ago the two houses were in a
deadlock over this question, and legis-
lation on the subject was therefore
prevented.

REPORT NOT LIKED
The Farmers Clash Over the Mt.
Pleasant Somers Drainage
Canal in Both Towns
COURT WILL SOON DECIDE

There would have been a clash be-
tween owners of farming lands in the
towns of Mt. Pleasant, Racine county
and Somers Tuesday in the Circuit
Court at Racine had Judge Belden
been able to hold court and hear argu-
ments on the matter of building a
drainage canal through the two
towns and draining many hundreds
OF acres of land. Judge Be1den is i'll
at his home and was unable to appear
in his chambers, and it was neces-
sary to postpone the hearing until 10
O'Clock this morning, when Judge
Belden met the attorneys and petit
TONERS and adjourned the hearing
until next week.
The owners of farming lands in the
two towns, Mt. Pleasant in particular
were at the court house early to give
testimony, if desired, and to hear the
arguments of attorneys. There is
much dissatisfaction with the report
of the Commissioners, Enoch Haigh,
James G. Bennett and Frederick A,
Burgess, who assessed the benefits
and damages. When the owners of
farm lands which were to be assessed
either for benefits or damages learned
that there would be no court hear
ing they gathered in the corridors of
the court house and there arguments
waxed most warm and strong. Men
who claimed that the assessments
against all property were fair, were
charged with having favoritism shown
them by the commissioners, in that
the assessments were not as they
should be and that some farms which
would have from thirty to forty acres
of land drained and made valuable
were assessed, less than farms where
but ten to twenty acres were drained.
In one instance it is claimed chat a
farm which would by the drainage
canal have every acre adapted for
farming purposes, was assessed less
than an adjoining farm which by the
canal would be damaged.

the taste once acquired In travel or

ates a steady demand. American taste

ICE HARVEST WANING
Men Who Have Been Employed at the
Ice Houses Going Back to Chicago

Men Who Have Been Employed at the
Ice Houses Going Back to Chicago
The ice harvest on the lakes of Ke-
nosha county is nearly over, and the
great company of men imported from
Chicago and other cities to aid irsthe
work are being shipped back. The
Jefferson Ice Co. laid off large force
on Saturday night and other gangs
are being laid off today. Nearly all
Of the houses in the county have been
filled and the ice is now being
shipped out by train loads. The COM
panies declare that the harvest this
year is an entirely satisfactory one,
and while the ice is still in fine condi-
ton on many of the lakes, the houses
are filed and there is no place to store
IL. 1t is thought that the last of the
icemen will be out of the county by
the middle of next week. Hundreds
of thousands of tons of ice have been
cut on the lakes of this county, and
houses that have not been used Id
years have been filled to OVERLOOKING.
Only one serious accident occurred
during the cutting season in this
county, and that was the killing of an
unknown man at Twin Lakes. The
man was killed by a train. The har-
vest has been carried through without
any labor troubles and no effort has
been made to force an organization of
the ice cutters.

THE pumping records of the water
company show all too plainly the weak
point of a municipal system. The
water wasted runs into millions and
millions of gallons every month and
its own statistics prove that the MUM
cipal water company, although it
shows handsome prof., is not maxi
ing anywhere near the money it
should according to the quantity of
water pumped. A private corporation
would stop big percentage of this
waste in short order or find some way
to make the people responsible for
the waste pay for it and the city will
have to do something to check it
pretty soon or invest big sum in
additional pumps.

For city where the taxes mount
up to thirteen mills on close to full
value assessment, the average Kenosha
taxpayer takes astonishingly little in
terest il the selection of the men who
are to represent him in the council,
the board of supervisors and the
school board, and spend the money he
pays in for taxes. He kicks on the
taxes as matter of course, but it ap-
parent1y never occurs to him that he
is directly responsible for the condi-
tons of which he complains and that
the remedy lies in his own hands. He
does not appreciate the fact that the
city's business is his business, and
that if he does not look after it him
self nobody will look after ii for him.
Here we have an election coming on,
and in spite of the general complaint
on tine high tax levy this year, in how
many of the wards of the city is there
any effort being made to persuade
representative men to run for every
Office? It is all right to belong to a
''Don't Worry club, but these kick
ers on taxes forget too easily for their
own good.

Peace and the Channel Tunnel.


1t doesn't speak well for the good
faith of the European nations talking
about peace to see the scheme Of tun-
mel under the English channel to bring
London and Paris closer turned down
because England can't trust her CONT
mental neighborS. British military au-
thorities oppose 1t. All sorts Of specu-
lationS are rife as to what John Bull
would have to fear with a submarine
passage leading from foreign shores to
the very heart OF The British empire.
Frenchmen naturally feel hurt that
England doesn't trust them to keep the
military on their own side Of the chan
mel, and the mere suggestion that Ger
many might capture It even with
France standing guard over one end is
another blow to French pride. Sitting
by their quiet firesides the people Of
France and England figure out that the
proposed tunnel would be new bond
between the two countries. 1t is a
hopeful sign that average human ma
ture takes that view But the unalter-
able opposition of the war chiefs to the
discounting Of the new Dreadnoughts
In their mastery of the sea by opening
. blind passage for possible invaders
to sneak through while the British
navy floats supremely overhead will
doubtless carry the day. England may
save her bacon in this way. but the
outcome of the discussion relegates
universal peace to the distant future.
