The committee has not sought to
make any changes in the charges for
witnesses or juror fees, but the fees
OF physicians called to hold post

all cases where the coroner aided at

Morris Sway, Sam Leccus and Davis
Morrofsky, three Jewish peddlers
claiming Chicago as their home, were
arrested late Tuesday evening by Of
fcers Christensen and Zievers on a
charge of peddling without a. license.
The men had been selling granite ware
in the city during the day and had
done a land office business. They were
taken before Justice McCarron and
each paid a fine of a dollar and the
costs Of the action. The police are
determined to protect the home mer-
chants against any more of this sort
of peddlers and all of this class coming
into the city will be promptly arrested

General Officials Of the Central
Leather Co. Looking Over
the Allen Plant Here
EVAP0RATlNG PLANT CERTAIN
Big Leather Company May Also Build
New Buildings and Put in Pri-
waite Water Plant for Use
of the Tannery

George W. Childs Of New York,
president Of the Central Leather Com
pany and several of the officials of the
company, including General Engineer
Norton Of Ridgeway, Pa, are in Ike
nosha looking over the big Allen plant
and making provisions for some great
changes in the plant. AS yet the Of
fcials Of the plant are not ready to
announce the extent of these changes
but it is certain that they will in
crease the output of the plant and fur
nish employment to more laborers A
conference in regard to tho proposed
additions was being held in Chicago
this afternoon and the plans will be
more definitely announced later. Chas.
w. Allen in speaking of the matter
this morning said that he would rather
not discuss the plans Of the company
at this time as they were not as yet
fully matured. He, however, insisted
that the plans would make the Keno
sha plant one Of the model pla It's own
ed by the Central Leather Company.
Mr.. Allen is one sof the dir ,ctors Of
the company and he is taking an acti, G
interest in the making Of the plans for
the Kenosha plant.
One thing has been definitely decid-
ed upon and that is the immediate
construction of an evaporating plant
to take care Of the refuse Of the tan
merry This will be built on some Of
the property Of the company along
the river and it is said that the es-
timated cost Of the plant is 100000
Mr.. Allen stated this morning that the
company expected to have this plant, in
operation by the first Of next April
This plant will come to take the place
of the septic tanks recently built by
the company which are not proving all
that was expected Of them 1t will
not only do away with the nuisance Of
the refuse Of the tannery but it is
thought that in the long run the Tan
merry Company will be able to realize
great saving by the use of. the evapor-
ating plant With this plant it will
be possible for the company to save
some of the tanning liquors which here
tofore have been emptied into the river
and allowed to run into the lake.
It has been stated that the company
was planning the erection of other
buildings, but nothing has been decided
on this part of the program. The Of
fcials are considering proposition! of
putting in a private water service for
the exclusive use Of the tannery. This
would include the building Of an in
take into the lake and the installation
of pumps and other equipment. Mr..
Allen admitted that this was under
consideration but stated that no deci-
sion had been reached in regard to this
part Of the plan. At the present time
the big plant is using artesian water
taken from wells on the property of the
company It is probable that the
officials Of the company will remain in
Kenosha until all of the plans for
future work at the plant have been
definitely settled upon. Tn the mean
time the work on the evaporating plant
will be started at once.

There can be no question but that
the great mass of the rank and file Of
the Republican party are strongly in
favor of revision of the tariff and
that they believe that the party is
pledged to undertake this work as soon
as possible. They want real revi-
sion, too, not bluff at it for the sake
of appearances merely and one that
will give every interest fair show.
A disturbance of business is bound to
follow revision but any certainty is
better than an uncertainty and unless
an intelligent and earnest effort is
made now to adjust schedules by the
Republicans business will have to face
the possibility of having the tariff re-
vised two years hence by it's enemies,

Every business man will be inclined
to side with the state officials in their
effort to have an amendment to the
civil service law passed by the next
legislature. From the report Of State
Treasurer Dahl it appears that in the
effort to make the tenure of office Sc
cure for deserving officials in minor
positions the legislature has gone to
the other extreme and made it ex-
ceedingly difficult for the heads of de,
partments to get rid of drunken and
inefficient subordinates. 1t is a well
established principle Of business that
the man who is to be held response
BILE for results must be allowed to
choose his assistants and it is not ask
ing too much on the part of the state
officials when they ask that the pres
ent law be amended so that they may
have the power to discharge an EN-,
ploye for incompetence, Drunkenness
and INSTRUMENTATION without being
obliged to go into court to defend their
action as they are now required to do.

have complied with all the rules and
regulations Of the post office depart
ment in regard to building walks and
numbering their houses for the free
delivery service and they are as much
entitled to the service as the people
in the down town districts and every
effort will be made to see that they
get it, but they will have to wait I'M
til this office is given additional car
riers. The state of being short of help
for the amount Of business that must
be handled is chronic at this Office, but
it is no more marked in the carrier

While it would have been better
policy for the members of the Water
Commission to have met with that
"special' committee of the Council
few of the tax payers who understand
the situation will be disposed to blame
them very much for the stand they
have taken in the matter. The mo-
tives that actuate the men behind the
attack on the Commission are probably
thoroughly understood by it's members
as they are by the tax payers general
ly. For years the politicians have cast
longing eyes at the water company
and its revenues, but this is the first
time that any open attempt has been
made to interfere with the business
of the company. The water company
would be a rich plum for the grafters
and the members of the Water Com
mission are performing a great public
service in resisting to the utmost any
and every attempt to turn the company
over to them. The Water Board can
stand on it's record. The business has
been honestly managed and the profits
have been honestly expended for the
best interests of the city and it does
not require any great amount of pene-
tration to see that this is just what
hurts the men who are now trying to
interfere with the business Of the
Commission. Trying to cloak the at
tack on the Board by violent protesta-
tions of undying regard for the "dear
people" does not fool anybody. The
dear people may whistle for the profs
of the water company if the men who
are now attacking it's management once
get power over the Water Board To
put the whole thing in a nutshell all
the ruction now going on is to deter
mine eventually whether the water
company is to be run for the benefit
Of the politicians or the people of the
city. Which do you prefer9

 the tax on the gross premium income and the license taxes on the individ- ual agents scattered throughout the State.
 "The New York Life Insurance Com pany, for instance. is paying this year over S10.000 in the various taxes l have just mentioned. Now, for the sake of comparison let us say for eign corporation which does come un- dor the incoming of the franchise law, has a capital of S500,0O0 employed in Alabama. This would represent the amount actually employed by the cor poration in the conduct of its business in this State.
 well the New York Life Insurance Company collected last year something like $500, ,0O0 in premiums and paid the 2 per cent tax on this premium Income. This tax itself amounted to pva: $le,- 900 last year and is over and above the license tax of s10l for the company. and the agents licenses of $S.5n- head. It IS nlanifestly unjust to plle on top of this tue foreign franchise tax. which. on the basis of s half mil- lion employed. would add s56s to the regular taxes. This is decidedly more than the total taxes imposed on regu- lar outside corporations and 1t must he remembered that the company probably gets a net of only about 20 or 30 per. cent of each premium on the average after commissions to agents are deducted. etc, while the whole gross premium is taxed" .
