There were two fines assessed in the
Municipal Court Monday on charges
OF carrying concealed weapons and the
police should inaugurate vigorous
crusade for the suppression Of this
practice. 1t is this habit Of go
ing armed that turns simple as

the penitentiaries are filed with
men who would be free and at work
earning an honest living had they not
had deadly weapon within reach
when their tempers got the worst of

The Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany is going right ahead with its
preparations for going into the light
ing business in Kenosha just as if it
had never heard of any such body as
the State Railroad Commission. 1t is
generally believed by many who have
made study of the local situation
that no attempt will be made to inter
fere with the company SO long as it
confines its operations to municipal
lighting, but that the struggle will
come when the company attempts to
enter the commercial lighting field.
The prospect that suit may be started
in this city which will clearly define
by judicial decision the powers of the
State Railroad Commission along the
line of protecting existing companies
in the lighting business from the en-
croachments of rival companies in
their territory, is exciting the livei-
est interest all over the state. Every
change in the local situation is being
closely followed by many capitalists
and investors who have already form
ed companies to so into the lighting
business In various cities in case the
right of the Kenosha Street Railway
Company to invade the territory of
the Gas and Electric Company in de-
Ifance of the State Commission is es-
tabhshed by the courts. There are
no presidents to go by in the case and
| IT is quite within the bounds of pos
sihihty that the decision in this case
may put the Commission in position
where it has no authority to enforce

During the long drawn out discus
sion over grades and sidewalks in the
Council it has developed that in humid
reds Of cases walks have been put
down in every part of the city with
out any reference to the established
grade and that if the city is to treat
| all alike, and in simple justice that is
Jail it can do, these walks which have
been put in at the wrong grades will
have to be torn up and relaid Should
any such radical action be attempted
by the city there is no doubt but that
trouble enough would be started to
keep the city attorney busy in the
courts for years for many Of the men
who put down these walks will not
submit to any such orders without a
| fight While some Of the men who put
down their walks at the wrong grades
deliberately defed the authority of the
city many Of them undoubtedly acted
LIN good faith. Some committee or
individual alderman desiring to show
little authority, which, by the way,
they did not possess, for grades once
established under the ordinance can
not be changed without The action of
| the Council, gave permission to the
latter to put down their walks at a
grade different from, that ordered by
the city engineer. When the time
comes to order these walks relaid in
conformity with established grades, if
| it ever does, it is going to be a diff
feult matter to distinguish between
these two classes Of offenders. The
best way out Of the present difficulty
and to stop this continual and end
less wrangling over grades would be to
establish a Park Commission as has
been done with marked success in other
cities with full power to change the
grades In individual cases as circum-
stances seemed to demand. The Park
Commission would be much better able
to handle the large number of cases of
walks at wrong grades that have come
up under the present system than lie
Council is and at much less expense to
the city.

During the winter months the use
Of the sidewalks on some Of the streets
of the city has been granted to the
bicyclists who used their wheels going
to and from their work by common con-
sent and as favor, but the fact that
they were not arrested for riding on
the walks in the winter time when
the streets were impossible for wheels
does not give them any excuse for
using the walks at this season of the
year. There have been many COM
plants of the bicyclists using the
walks lately and unless some of the
Wheelmen have sense enough to keep
off the walks now they may stir the
people up to the point of demanding
the strict enforcement Of the ordinance
against riding on the walks all the year
around. The wheelmen should not
make the mistake of trying to take as
right what has been allowed as a
favor.

In discussing the question of sew

In discussing the question of sew
age pollution recently the Evening
wisconsin remarked that Eventually
no community will be permitted to
dispose of its sewage in a way that
will endanger the health Of people lv-
ling on the banks Of lakes and streams
and some of these days Racine Keno
sha, Waukegan and Chicago may lift
their voices and say that Milwaukee
has no right to pollute the lake water,
even though her drainage does not af-
feet her own water SUPPLY While
we are IN entire agreement with the
| Wisconsin as to the injustice and dan
| ger of permitting any city to poison
the water supply of it's neighbors we
may as well admit that it will be a
long time before anything is heard
from Kenosha on that subject. A
satisfactory system for disposing Of
the sewage Of this city will have to
be devised before Kenosha will be in
a position to go after its neighbors
and at the present rate Of progress in
that line it appears that this city will
have about all it can do to handle its
own sewage problems without worry
ing about its neighbors.' Bearing in
mind the old injunction that g People
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" Kenosha is willing
to concede that so far as this city is
concerned the north shore cities which
have been guilty of polluting the
waters Of the lake with their sewage
are safe from attack. ~

Wherever the State Railroad Com
mission has had occasion to ascertain
the true value of the property OF any
pubhc service corporation in order to
nx It's rate of earnings or for any
otner purpose we presume that the
1lgures obtained by the. Commission
Will be used as the basis for fixing the
assessment of such corporation for tax
alton. They should be anyway, for
the Commission has much greater facil-
tues Tor ascertaining the true values
IMAM any assessor has and for that
reason Its figures are almost certain
ITO pc much nearer correct than those
arrived at by the examination of the
assessors which is of necessity merely
lsuperfcial. The assessors have neither
the time, power, nor inclination to
make thorough examination of every
corporation they are called upon to
assess in the course of their regular
duties, but when the Commission makes
an examination it goes to the bottom
of things and gets at the facts. This
being the ease it is to be hoped that
Jail public service corporations which
are taxed on the Commission s figures
will be Jealous to make certain that
they are not being taxed at higher
rate than their neighbor corporations
which have been examined by the Com
mission, for the first cannot very well
escape being taxed at their proper val
uation under the full value assessment
law and when they force the latter
into their class it is certain that mil
lions of dollars of taxable property
will be on the assessment rolls that is
not there now. ~

At q special meeting Saturday after
noon the Council by a decisive vote
decided to abandon the plans for re-
pairing the old reservoir on Market
Square and it will be filed up. The
action was taken after several of the
business and professional men of the
city has expressed themselves as strong
1y opposed to spending any more money
on the old reservoir and it shows that
the majority Of the members Of the
Council are disposed to defer to public
opinion when the people take enough
lnterest an the business of the city to
make theiF wishes known In any mat
ter ON WHICH that body takes action.

pafr the old reservoir went through

The estimate Of the assessors that
the assessed valuation of the property
of the city is not likely to fall below
that of last year and that it is even
possible that there may be small
increase is good news for the tax
payers Of the city. An increase in the
tax rolls is a matter for congratula-
ton at any time, but particularly so
just at this time when the tax payers
are expecting large increase in the
tax levy. PROFESSIONALLY there are
many pieces of property in the city on
which the assessment can be increased
without injustice and should the asses
sors find enough of these it may be
possible to get along next year on an
increase of twenty per cent in the
taxes over those paid in under the
last levy. Even with this big increase
there would not be anything left in
the treasury over the bare running ex-
penses of the city for needed improve
ments next summer, but with the big
deficit that will be accumulated by the
first of the. year which must be paid
out of the next levy the tax payer will
be very lucky to get out with twenty
per cent raise in his taxes and under
the circumstances he will not expect
much in the way of improvements for
his money. The city must pay its
debts first of all.
