As far as the railroad laws and ether laws representing the administration policies have gone, there Is apparently no necessity for another special ses- sion of the Legislature, but the Gov session is imperative. The prediction is ventured that when the Legislature is called together it's main work will be a readjustment of State expenditures to bring them within the present rev.

Times had changed. but Ab- dui Hamid did not appreciate the change. He was not willing to lose the power that the Young Turks took away from him with the constitution.
 Cunning and bribery had won victo- ries for him in other days. He resort cd again to cunning and bribery. It is said that si.seo.ooo was distributed among the soldiers in constantinopie. The ministry of the Young Turks was temporarily overthrown. Many of their leaders and followers were killed. They were driven from the city, but only for awhile. They came back with I'd disciplined army and under admirable restraint they took charge of the Gov .ernment and made the Sultan pris- oner.

"If." says The Philadelphia Record, "there be one feature of the tariff more than another that is absurd and wholly inexcusable, 1t is the duty on hides. Some thirty-five years ago the Repub- licans took 1t off. The protest of the New England shoe manufacturers. through Senator Lodge. kept the duty on when MT. Mckinley was making his schedules. but when Mfr. Dingiey was writing tariff law, MT. Lodge funked. or else the shoe manufacturers of his State were mapping. The duty has been there for twelve years. burden on the makers and wearers of shoes. and of use only to the Beef Trust, which is also in possession of the Leather Trust. The Payne bill was ra- tionai enough to drop the duty. but Mfr. Aidrich has obliged the Beef Trust by restoring it. Leather dealers and man. ufacturers in Chicago have agreed to do all they can to convince the Senate that hides shouId come in free"
 Well. what we want to know is. will the remission of the tariff on hides give us cheaper shoes9 If the present high prices of leather goods are due to the scarcity of the raw material at home, and to the duty on imported hides. 1t follows as matter of course, that the remission of the duty should make shoes cheaper. but will 1t? is the question. If the Leather Trust now controls prices. can it not continue to do so if the tariff Is removed? That is what wearers of shoes and users of other leather goods would be glad to have some assurance about.

Attorneys Are Preparing Bill for
Establishment of Municipal
Court in kenosha
COUNCIL MAY ENDORSE PLAN
Bill Will be Along the Same Lines as
That Presented to the Legislature
Two Years Ago but Powers
Will be Limited

Work has been started in the pre-
paration of bill to be presented to the
legislature which will provide for the
establishment of a Municipal Court in
Kenosha and it is expected that the
bill will be forwarded to Madison so
that it can be presented in both houses
before the middle of February. The
bill is being drawn by a number of the
attorneys Of the city acting in confer
ence and an effort will be made te
make it as near perfect as possible.
1t is being modelled after the bill drawn
two years ago by the late Benjamin O..
Sturges, but it is possible that the bill
sent to the legislature this year will
not give the Municipal Court as wide
powers as were conferred upon it by
the bill prepared by the late Justice.
1t is the intention of the drawers of
the present bill to have it take care
of all the minor cases which are now
tried in the Circuit Court, but at the
same time the court will not have any
power to try cases of the more serious
nature such as murder, attempted MUIR
der and other felonies. The court, how
ever, will have the power to try many
cases which now fall into the offices of
the various justices of the peace and it
is certain that the court will be a busy
place should the legislature decide to
pass the bill. 1t is not thought posi-
BILE to get the bill through the legisla-
ture in time to have it provide for an
election of a judge at the coming spring
election. The promoters of the bill are
planning to go before the Council in the
near future, possibly at the next regu-
lar meeting and ask for the adoption
of a resolution in which the Council
will show it's support of the bill. The
County Board will not be in session
again until next November, bit it is
thought that a large number Of the
members of the Board will be willing to
sign a petition to the legislature ask
ing for the passage of the DILL IT this
support can be secured it is pretty Ger
tain that the bill will meet with favor
with the legislature. Wallace INGALLS,
of Racine is one of the members Of the
judiciary committee of the assembly
and he is so well acquainted with the
crowded condition of the court calen-
dars in this county that it is pretty
certain that he will do all IN his power
to secure an early action on the bill
and not permit it to die in the hands
of the committee. Assemblyman Cur
tiss and Senator Bishop have both ex-
pressed themselves as willing to be
guided by the wishes of the people in
regard to the passage Of the bill.

MORE COMPLICATIONS
: wner of Mayors ONCE Claims Lease
was Taken for Year

New complications have arisen in con
neetion with the effort of the Council
TO close up the down town office of the
mayor as Charles A. Tarbell, the own
ST Of the building in which the Office
aas been located, has served notice on
the city attorney that the city is sup
posed to have a. lease on the office for
year. This is not in keeping with the
official minutes of the Council, but MIR.
Tarbell claims that Mayor Scholey took
the office for year and stated that it
would probably be held during his term
of office. In addition to this all of the
furniture with the exception of table
which was too large to go through the
door, has been taken into the front
room of the suite and the door locked
and the mayor has the key in his pocket
SO that complications are expected when
any attempt is made to carry out the
order of the Council. The rent of the
office will have to be paid till the end
of the month by the city and it is
probable by that time that the Council
will find some way to dislodge the
mayor

WOULD CHANGE LAWS
Legislature To Make Another At
tempt TO Secure Equitable
Taxation of Mortgages
GOV. DAVIDSON is UNDECIDED

Some attempt will be made at this
session of the legislature to dispose of
the question of mortgage taxation.
Measures of this sort make an appear
ance as often as there are sessions of
the legislature, but the proper method
of taxing them is still unsettled. Even
Governor Davidson is not certain how
the problem sLould be solved. The at
tempt made in 1903 to tax the mort
cages resulted in their exemption. In
his message in speaking of the matter
the governor declared that it is hoped
by the Inauguration of system of
Income tax "these inequalities may be
righted and that if it shall be found
desirable to exempt credits and
money, that the same may be reached
through the income tax"
g In great majority of states, mort
s IS are taxable as personal property
to le holder at his place of residence
and the real estate given as security
is taxable to the owner at the situs Of
the property declared Robert A.
Campbell in a pamphlet issued by the
library commission to guide the legis-
lators in framing law. cit is the
system Of taxation usually known as
double taxation of the mortgage debt
and the mortgaged property. These
laws providing that mortgages are tax
able as personal property, are never
fully enforced and it is only in rare
instances and for short periods that
any considerable percentage of the
mortgages are listed for taxation for
their full share. =
Here is the problem. Every time an
attempt is made to tax mortgages as
personal properties, the assessors find
they are unable to discover full list
of all the mortgages and in many in
stances the mortgager agrees to pay
taxes on the mortgage in the hands
of the owner.
The practice in states differs, but if
| it should be found that the income tax
law may not be passed at this session
of the legislature, law similar to the
one in Pennsylvania may be modified
and passed. This provides that mort
cages are uniformly subject to tax
of four mills on the dollar; the pro-
ceeds from this source to be divided
between the. state and the counties.

Philip Neu and Isabella Spartz
Married in Paris After Strange
Series Of Accidents
BRIDE AND GROOM IN DITCH
On the Way to the Church the Horse
Runs Away and Comes Near Caus-
ing Second Postponement
of the Marriage

The marriage of Phillip NeU and
Miss Isabella Spartz, both of the town
of Paris which was celebrated at st.
John IS church in Paris on Wednesday
morning, may properly be classed as
runaway marriage Notwithstanding
the fact that the ceremony took place
in the church in the presence of large
number of the friends and relatives Of
the contracting parties. 1t was a
runaway match on account of the fact
that runaway horse had played
rather unusual part in the romance of
the two young people. Miss Spartz
was a daughter of Former Sheriff
Nicholas Spartz and one of the best.
known young women Of the Town of
Paris The marriage of the couple was
originally set for week ago, but on
the night before the wedding the groom
went out with horse and buggy to
make some arrangements for the cere-
mony and the horse became frightened
and ran away. Mr.. Neu was thrown
from the buggy and so badly injured
that he was unconscious for several
hours and the physicians found that he
had fractured one of his ribs His
condition was such that it became nee
essary to postpone the marriage cere-
mony even after the guests had as
sembled at the church, The groom 8
recovery was rapid and it was decided
that the marriage ceremony should take
place Wednesday morning However,
Mr. Neu was not taking any chances
and when he started for the home of his
bride to take her to the church for the
ceremony he did not drive the same
horse as had caused the postponement
of the service a week before, but took
one of the old reliable horses from the
farm. Fate was against him, for after
he had called at the home of the bride
and the two were driving to the church
the horse became frightened nearly a
mile from the church and ran away.
Both the bride and groom were thrown
from the buggy into ditch at the road
side and both of them were more or less
bruised. Mr.. and Mrs Neu took the

decided that there would be no second
disappointment of their guests and rela-
tives and brushing the snow ana mud
from their clothes they started off and
walked to the church. The only trou-
BILE was that the ceremony was little
later than had been arranged for and
the facts in regard to the second run
away were not known to the guests and
relatives until after the ceremony had
been performed by the Rev. Father
Meyers of Racine. After the ceremony
the bride and groom and the wedding
guests we're entertained at 3. reception
at the home of the bride. Mr.. and
Mrs. Neu will make their home in
Paris where they are widely known.
1t is probable that they will spend their
honeymoon curing up the bruises re-
ceived in the runaway accident on Wed
nesday.
