LAW is UNJUST TO COUNTIES.
Frear Reports on inheritance Tax Op
Grafton.

GRAFTON.
A more careful enforcement of the
law would presumably largely in
crease the inheritance tax receipts
throughout the state and be promoted
by a more liberal allowance to the va
rious counties. At the same time the
counties would be more justly treated
than they are under the present law.
The foregoing is the substance of a
statement given out by Secretary Of
State Frear recently. In sustaining
this conclusion Mr.. Frear cited the
fact that "either there is a more com
rlete system of collection existing in
Milwaukee county, or else a larger
proportion of the total tax collected
comes from estates within that city"
Under the present system" added
Secretary Frear, cit is unjust to COM
pei the counties of the state to make
inheritance tax collections and re-
ports, receiving only per cent of the
amount collected. A larger percent
age retained ny tH6 County WOulu VI :
dinarily secure a careful scrutiny into
estates where the property has been
disposed of by the deceased prior to
death, in order to avoid payment of
the Inheritance tax"
The growth of the inheritance tax
necessarily is cratic, depending
largely upon the size Of estates which
are reported each year and upon those
which may he held from immediate
payment on account Of litigation. The
amounts paid in since the law went
into force follow: 1905, $125,964.S0;
1906, $1,03,95474; 1907 1895, 1850;
1908, S245, 584.S4; fiscal year of 1909,
up to Nov. 1, 1908, 1924, 693.SG.
Interesting in this connection is the
table of the amounts Of inheritance
tax collected from Milwaukee county,
which follows: 1905, $81,004.56; 1906,
$34,O4195; 1907, $279,575.39; 1908,
$75,532.34.

SETS THANKSGIVING DAY.

Gov. Davidson has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation designating Nov.
26 as Thanksgiving day:
I'm harmony with time-honored
custom and in conformity with the
proclamation of the president Of the
United States, I, James o. Davidson,
governor of the State of Wisconsin,
do hereby designate Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day of November, as a
day for general thanksgiving, and rec
ommend that on that day all secular
employment be laid aside and that the
people assemble in their accustomed
places of worship for special devo-
tional exercises.
LAS a people we have much for
which to be thankful. Our harvests
are abundant and the general health
of the people is good. The temporary
depression in business which prevail
ed a year ago has passed, and the fu-
ture never was more promising than
at the present hour No other people
are favored as are the citizens of this

prosperity they should not fail to ac-
knowledge their deep obligations to
the great creator of the universe,
whose blessings have been so bounti-
fully bestowed upon them

The State Day by Day
kILBOURN REJECTS OFFER.
Makes Counter Proposition to Power
Company.

Company.
The differences between the South
ern Wisconsin Power company and
the village of Kilbourn are not near
ing speedy solution. The company
made the village an offer which, on
the advice of counsel, was not only
rejected but resulted in a counter Of
fer from the village that includes an
inspection of the company's books to
ascertain how it has spent it's money.
The company, realizing that the mu-
nicipal water and lighting plant is in
danger of being flooded because of it's
dam, offered to build water tight con-
crete walls around the wells to a
height above extreme high water and
to fill in the city property to height
above ordinary high water. 1t also
proposed to build new pumphouse
and to equip it with bronze three
stage centrifugal pump and an electric
motor having a capacity of 500 gallons
a minute and to furnish the village
with lighting and power current at
minimum rate. Should the village find
it more acceptable to do so the COM
pany is prepared to leave the entire
matter to the arbitrament of the rate
commission.
The counter offer, as prepared by
the attorneys of the village provides
for the purchase by the company of
new site for the village water and
electric light plant upon which it
should also build at its own expense a
plant fully as good as that now oper-
ated by the village; the grades of sew
eral streets should be raised and new
bridges built and others strengthened.
In addition the company should give
the village 1000 horsepower free of
charge, and should the dam and flush
boards be raised higher than seven
teen feet, resulting in the increased
production of horsepower, the village
should be given a portion of such adj
ditional horsepower as compensation
for any probable damage by such adj
ditional height of the dam.-W.

TYPHOID SCARE AT "U."
Impure Milk Believed to Be Source OF
Contag'on.

Coincident with the advance of 1
cent in the price of milk, making 1t
7 cents a quart instead of cents at
Madison, comes the discovery OF some
alarming conditions which would indl-
cate an epidemic Of typhoid fever IN
the Latin quarter, and Health Officer
Donovan is of the opinion that the
cases are due to impure milk.
Between twenty and thirty cases
that look like typhoid fever have de-
veloped in the university section OF
the city. 1t has not yet been clearly
established that they are cases of ty-
phoid. but DR.. Donovan regards them
as very suspicious. A sample or the
milk left at one boarding house has
been secured and will be tested by
university experts.
Despite an advance of 1 cent in the
price of milk, the foregoing conditions
seem TO emphasize the necessity of a
milk inspection ordinance, which Mad
ison has and will soon enforce. The
enforcement of the ordinance has
been delayed until Feb. 1 in order to
give the dairymen plenty of time in
which to prepare to meet the condl-
tions of this regulation. The dairy
men have taken one step and that IS
an advance in the price of milk. The
new price schedule went into erect

At meeting of the capitol building
commission at Madison it was decided
to fit up the main floor Of the west
wing of the new capitol for the use Of
the senate and the second floor for the
use of the assembly at the coming

new capitol is completed the senate
will have chambers on the second

being fitted for it in the west wing.
Inasmuch as the new heating plant
will not be completed in time for use
this winter, the west wing will be
heated from the heating plant in the
basement of the old capitol. The
commission awarded the contract for
the electric wiring of the east wing
to Paul F. Harloff of Madison for $14,-

CRUSADE AGAINST DOGS.
Whitewater Is Killing Every Canine
Running Loose.

The slaughter of dogs in White
water and vicinity since the death Of
Dwight B. Goes English bull from n.y.
drophobia has been extensive. The
number known to have been killed is
thirty nine, and all but three or four
of this number had been bitten by the
Coe dog. The others lost their lives
because they were found unmuzzled.
Word has been received from Madi-
son, where the dead bulldog was sent,
that it had died from rabies. A re-
markable fact connected with the af-
fair is the fact that Mr.. Goes three
small children were playing with the
dog only few hours before he ran
away. Among other things they
dressed the dog with two pairs Of
overalls. Though then in about the
last stages of the disease, the ami
NAL did not offer to harm them. So
far as known only one horse was bit
ten. That has been killed. People
who have not muzzled their dogs are
keeping them in the house, in cellars
or chained in the barn. But the scare
is still on.

BANDIT HOLDS UP -FOUR MEN
Daring Robbery Attempted at Bath, 5
D.-Bandit Escapes After Shoot
ing One Man.

Bath, S. D., Nov. 17.-This commu
nity is stirred by the most daring rob
berry ever attempted in this locality
The entire place is aroused, posses
are securing the country and there
seems little chance of the fellow final
ly getting away.
A group of four men were idlins
about the railway station at Bath
about 10 o'clock last night, waiting
the arrival of the train, when the
hold-up genius entered the place.
He Ieve1ed his weapon at the groug
and ordered them to hold up their
hands, which they did without a mo
ment's delay. He then ordered the
men to march into the operators
room
Two of them were about to comply
when the other two, whose names are
given as Parsons and Bendicson, turn
ed on the fellow and engaged him in
a hand-to-hand battle.
The robber was getting the worst o.
it, when he suddenly fired at close
range. Bendicson reeled and fell with
one bullet hole in his neck and an
other through the left side of his
cheek and shoulder.
AS Parsons sought safety in flight
and Bendicson went down, the man
Ieaped through the station window
and disappeared in the darkness.
Bendicson has been brought here
and although his condition tonight is
precarious, it is believed that he has
a good chance of recovering.
