DISSOLVES INJUNCTION
Court Sustains County Treas
urer in Tax Sale Suit
Brought By Inland Lake
Land Company.

Last week Judge A. H. Reid
set aside the injunction procured
bv the Inland Lake Land Co.
against Villas county and A. H.
Stevens, county treasurer, re-
straining them from selling at
tax sale their descriptions stu
ated in the town of Eagle River.
On May 10th the Inland Lake
Land Co, procured an injunction
restraining the county treasurer
from selling or offering for sale
any of its lands situated in the
town OF Eagle River. The com
plant charges that some of the
taxes levied were unauthorized
because the town did not have
within its limits a village of a
thousand inhabitants and there
fore had no authority to exercise
village powers.
The plaintiff { the Inland Lake
land Coz also further alleges
that the assessor of the town in
tentionally Disseminated against
it in making the assessment last
year THAT is, the assessor inten-
tionally assessed the lands of the
plaintiff higher in proportion to
their value than other lands);
that he Intentionally left off GER
tain property from the assess
ment roll and made other dis
ordinations heplaintiff.
The company also challenged
the right and authority of the
town to build and maintain the
dam, the waterwoi and elect
ric light plant; also the right and
authority of the town to main
tain and pay for the running of
our local fire departmental fact
makes general attack upon
everything pertaining to the vii
lage organization.
The motion to dissolve the in
junction was heard before Judge
Reid at Merrill last Monday.
District Attorney Amos Radcliffe
appeared for Villas county and
A. H. Stevens, its treasurer; E.
M. Smart appeared for the town
of Eagle River and A. w. Mcleod
for the Inland Lake Land Co.
The court held that the Inland
Like Land Co. was not entitled
to the injunction and ordered it
dissolved with costs to the plain
tiff. Under the statutes the plain
tiff has thirty days in which to
redeem; otherwise the lands will
be sold.
The Inland Lake Land Co. is
a local organization, N. A. Col

L. L. Dearborn tells a good
one on Jim Shelf and Shelf does
not dare DENY it. Early this sea
son Deardorff sent Shelf two
pigeons of the pouter variety
the kind that inhales air like a
cigarette fend does smoke and
then they puff out their breast
like a COW beast that has found
cred on green clover. After the
pigeons arrived they, being
young. failed to pout properly
and Shelf was in a quandary
what to do. When Dearborn
arrived later he lost no time iii
asking what was the matter.
Mr.. Dearborn told him both
were young birds and must be
blown up couple of times until
they got the hang of the pouting
act. The pigeons cote was high
up in the barn and Louie Zimple-
man was asked to hand them
down. Shelf took one bird and
intended inserting its bill in his
mouth and then blow it up. He
inserted the pigeons bill all
right but the bird nabbed his
tongue and held on for dear life
while Shelf was hopping around
and imploring John and Louie
Zimpleman to pry the bird loose.
His talk was SO jumbled up that
they were unable TO understand
what he wanted done for several
minutes, but they finally liherat-
ed his tongue from between the
the birds bill.

the United States Supreme Court
made public an important decision
which will affect all public utility cor
porations. The legislature of New
York passed a law limiting the price of
gas in New York City to so cents per
LOCO cubic feet from the consolidated
firms who have a monopoly. The pub
lie service corporation appealed to the
Courts on the plea that it was confisca-
tory. The court has decided the law is
not confscatory. The company claim
ed it is entitled to six per cent on its
valuation. The Court decided til e
company had no right to profits on it's
franchise which was granted by the
State, nor is there any rnie whereby a
company should have 6 per cent or any
particular rate on the value of its plant
after deducting the franchise value.
The decision is a starter towards pro-
tecting the public where a public ser
vice corporation has a monopoly.
Greater generosity throughout the
world, and especially in the United
States was never shown than by the
giving of thousands of dollars to the dis
tressed sufferers in Italy from the most
destructive earthquake in the history
OF the world. No matterwhat the race
color OF religion the common brother
hood OF man in distress is being cared
for by the good Samaritans in other
lands.

l favor tariff reduction first because
/ think the tariff is not a square deal.
1t gives the protected ones special priv
iIeges, enables them to get a higher
price for what they make than they
would otherwise get and higher than
they are fairly entitled to. This Is
clearly shown in the case of the steel
trust. Every building that is erected
in America pays tribute to this trust,
n millions of dollars are brought to
the Golfers Of men who are already too
rich by reason Of our unfair and unjust
tariff laws. Then, too, I think it Is
every mans right to buy where he can
buy the cheapest and sell where he can
sell the dearest, and when a govern
ment interferes with that right for the
SAKE of protecting anybody 1 think the
government is everlastingly wrong.
am doing business on the border of
Canada. If a Canadian buys some
thing in my store and attempts to take
1t home, they fine him % per cent OF
more of the cost Of the article. 1t
seems to me utterly absurd chat a man
should be fined for taking goods that
he buys here across a river. 1t is so if
l go to Canada to buy anything. I am
fined for bringing it here. In our case
the tariff restricts trade, Ave lose all
the business across the CSnadian line.
1t seems necessary to have a tariff
for revenue, and yet / am not so sure
about that. | am willing, however,
that our stand patters shall have it and
that the tariff shall be so arranged
that the revenue under 1t shall be as
great as 1t Is now, but a tariff for pro.
lection Is little better, in my opinion,
than highway robbery. The protection
is all for the fellow who has the stuff
to sell and nothing for the fellow who
buys it. The tariff law tends to the
formation of trusts, to monopoly, to
extortion and to corruption in govern
ment. / am amazed when I think of
the men who seem to be otherwise sane
and sensible who are stand patters and
are opposed to any change at all in the
tariff laws. To me their position is abb
surd. We can make tariff changes that
are necessary without interfering with
any one except those who are protect
ed. OF course some of them will be
hurt, but the thing to be considered al
ways is the greatest good to the great
est number and a square deal for
everybody. So l favor tariff reduction.

needed. 1t has been thirteen years
since the party of economy and reform
took charge of the States finances and
began to econimize by stopping the
publication of the laws in the news
papers, thereby saving 500, 900 a year.
In thirteen years they should have
saved $4,000 00, and showed what

Andrew Carnegie, who has made
more money off the, protective tariff
on steel than any other man, says
that the steel industry does not need
q protective tariff; that steel can be
manufactured here cheaper than any
place on earth. We wonder if the
next congress will just make the steel
trust continue to take the robber tar
if off the people.
