A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

A little booklet lies on our table. A
casual glance tells us that it is the

This is the biggest compliment that
the ordinary academy or college has

father, the editor Of the Tampa Trib-
une.
Besides its editorial department,
the Record has a local department, an
athletic department, an exchange de-
partment, a Literary department and a
miscellaneous department.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1909-02-04

Personal property is assessed at less
than one-half its true value, " is one of
the striking statements in the report Of
the state tax commission, submitted to
the legislature last week. "The laws
relating to assessments have not been
changed in any material respect since
the act of 1908, resulting in the exemp-
ton of mortgages, but assessments of
personal property show falling off
from 5e2 per cent to ass per cent of
the true value during that period
This constantly increasing omission
from the assessment rolls of personal
property, or the differentiation of such
as find their way to the rules seems to
have the tacit approval of the local
taxpayers; very rarely criticism of the
assessors comes from them. 1t is quite
apparent that we are fast drifting away
from the assessment of personal prop
erty and toward tax on land only"
THE larger the amount of property
omitted by the local assessor, the heav-
Ter is the burden on the property, which
he places on the rolls, says the report.
1.-THE nearer he comes to placing all
taxable property upon the rolls at full
value, the lower the rate and the great
err the relief to those persons who under
a careless assessment find their proper
ty on the rolls.
Referring to moneys and credits, the
report shows that most assessors seem
to have abandoned all effort to assess
them.
"Our present system, besides being
deplorably inefficient, is excessively ex-
pensive, continues the report.

The Buying of Blue Mounds.

If he has not done SO already Assem-
blyman Plat Whitman of Iowa county
intends introducing a bill in the legisla-
ture providing for the purchase of Blue
Mounds, comprising about 400 acres, for
state park.
The Blue Mounds are two in number,
the higher being nearly 1000 feet above
sea level and reputed to be the highest
point between the Alleganies and the
Rockies in the northern part of United
States, They take their name from the
delicate blue haze, which envelopes
them. The little village of Blue Mounds
at the foot has much of historic inter-
est. 1t was famous lead mining town
as far back as the early thirties, the
first settlement being made there in
1898 by Ebenezer Brigham.
At the time of the Black Hawk war
a fort was built on the top of the higher
mound and many settlers found refuge
there. Several men were killed by the
Indians and two girls were carried away
prisoners, but later rescued. The town
came TO be known as "Pokerville, be-
cause of the gambling that prevailed
there in the early days. 1t was famous
for its taverns and enjoyed high de-
gree of prosperity as it lay on the old
Military road, between Milwaukee and
Galena, over which passed thousands of
prairie schooners carrying settlers to
Minnesota and Iowa. 1t is interesting to
note that the Brigham farm still re-
mains in possession of the family and is
conducted by &. l.. Brigham.
Projects for establishing a sanitarium
on top Of Blue Mounds have been con-
templated, and it would be an ideal To-
cation for such an institution. The top
of the mound commands view as far
as Madison to the eastward, and to the
Wisconsin river on the north. 1t is well
wooded and has a beautiful spring of
clear, cool water near its top. On the
summit is level table land half a mile
or more each way.

LaFo gillette Tells Stephenson.

Senator LaFolIette had conference
with his colleague, Issue Stephenson,
Monday, and advised him to wire at
once to his leaders in the Wisconsin
legislature directing them to cease all
attempts at legislation and insist as a
preliminary to all legislative work upon
a full and fair investigation of the
charges of the illegal use of money
made against Mr.. Stephenson.
"You owe it to the good name of the
state to clear your election of every
suspicion OF corrupt method, said MIR.
LaFollette to his colleague "'But the
charges are frivolous, insisted Mr..
Stephenson. "Then it will be that
much easier to clear yourself and you
should do it without further hesita-
ton, replied LaFollette.

ECZEMA LODGES IN The SKIN.
Not a Blood Disease Cured by OIL Of
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was supposed
to be a blood disease and was erroneous
ly treated as such, but now the best au-
tlIorities agree that eczema is only a
skin disease and must be treated through
the skin. The eminent skin specialist,
DR.. d. ID. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up in both Germany and
France
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymol,
glycerine, etc. The remedy is a liquid,
not a mere salye, hence it sinks right
into the pores of the skin. Washing
with the oil of wintergreen compound
seems to take the itch away at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. IVEY'S PHARMACY.
The prescription has now been used
so long as to have proven its absolute
merit and we do not hesitate to express
our confidence in D. d. ID. Prescription
