Up to last June, any bond issued by
a New York corporation prior to 1906,
secured by a mortgage that covered
real estate, was subject to tax of
about two per cent year as personal
property. Bonds issued by New York
railroad and trolley lines, for example,
would come within that description.
Altogether there must have been sew
eral million dollars worth of such
bonds outstanding. The average inter.
est rate on these bonds was probably
five per cent; consequently, if the as
SCISSOR discovered such fond, the tax
would eat up about forty per cent of
the income from the Investment.
In June the law was amended, so
that any holder of such a bond could
go to the recorders Office, pay regis
tration tax on his bond of one-half of
one per cent, and the bond would be
exempt from taxation as personal pro-
perty.
In short, a bondholder can take his
chance of being overhauled by the as
SCISSOR and losing two-ffths of his in
come, or he can pay this small fee OF
one-half of one per cent and be for
ever legally immune from the assessor.
Few bondholders, we learn, have
elected to pay the fee. Apparently
they don t think the assessor has even
one half of one per cent of chance
of finding them, which illustrates the
sheer idiocy of trying to reach this
form of wealth with personal-prop-
erty tax.-Saturday Evening Post.

Special Legislative Commit.
tee on Education For
mulates Report
SUGGESTS STATE COMMISSION

The special joint legislative commit.
tee on education has in Milwaukee put
the finishing touches to its report which
viii be submitted to Gov. Davidson.
The report which is quite elaborate,
will include recommendations of bills
providing for an educational commits
sion of seven members, which shall in
clude all the educational departments
of the state: plan for county school
boards; taking the inspection Of high
schools out of the hands of the state
university and placing it in the hands
of the state superintendent Of public
instruction; that the university and
normal school regents be paid $40 and
expenses a day while engaged in their
duties instead of expenses as now, and
that the term of the university regents
be heightened from four years to six
years, the term of the normal school
regents to remain, the same; placing
the state superintendent on the state
board of control to act with the board
on matters connected with the school
for the deaf at Delavan and the school
for the blind at GAINESVILLE; changing
the name of the Delavan school to
school for the deaf; that annual CON
ventions of city school boards be held;
that principals of city schools who also
act as city superintendents can be en-
gagged for term of three years.
These are the principal provisions of
the bills which the committee decided
to recommend for passage by the com
ing legislature. All the members of the
committee will sign the report, includ-
ing Assemblyman George T. Atwood,
Gays Mills, who was unable to be pres
ent at the meeting. q

RETIRING OFFICIALS READY
All Desire to be Given Clean Bill in
Turning over Their Books After
Years of Labor for the People of
the County,

The county officials at the court house
are beginning to clean house and are
putting the offices in order for the
coming of the new set OF officials who
will take their offices early IN January.
The new officials are nearly all working
part Of the time in the offices getting
familiar with the affairs of the county
so as to be able to step into the harness
Just as soon as their terms begin. The
newly elected officials will find every
thing in good order with the opening
of the new regime. County Treasurer,
Frank Marx will have one more report
to make to the County Board before he
can be checked out of his Office and his
successor Charles P. Wallig given the
books. Mr.. Marx will have his final re-
port ready for the board at the Jan
uary session which starts on the first
Tuesday in January.
Suggestions have been made that the
County Board at this time order an
audit of the books of the county and
it is certain that this suggestion will
meet with the consent and hearty ap-
proval Of the retiring officials. All of
them have been in Office for several
terms and it is only fair to them and
to the incoming officials that the books
be gone over by experts and shown to
can be learned there has never been an
audit of the books of the county offices
more than the audit made annually by
the members of the County Board and
it might be a good thing for the county
point out errors in methods that are
being used and suggest new methods
if such are deemed necessary. Nearly
every county in the state has an annual
audit of the books and this plan was
adopted by the city several years ago
and has resulted in many changes being
made in methods Of bookkeeping. No
shortages have ever been discovered,
but improper practices have been cor
rected and on the whole the audit of
the books has been worth many times
its cost. The suggestion of an audit
has been made to number Of the
members of the County Board and it
is expected that this matter will be
taken up at the January session.
The new county officials have all fled
their official bonds but as yet they have
not named their deputies. It is stated,
however, that the deputies will be nam
ed within the next ten days and that
all Of the assistants will be notified
before the opening of the terms of the
new officials.

HOME FROM AFRICA
Kenosha Man Who MadeLong
Trip Through Dark Cont
nent Now on Way Home
TELLS OF INTERESTING TRIPS

Thomas A. Meyer and John J. Kew
enig, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Kew
enig, 214 Lyman avenue, Of Kenosha
are returning to America after trip
through Africa. The two young men
left New York early in September for
Central Africa, via. Cairo, Egypt, and
have now made their desired trip and
are now satisfied to return They went
there merely for sightseeing and did
very little Hunting only when they
came in close quarters with wild an
imals which they gave warm recep-
ton every time; they had three native
carriers with them to help them carry
their supplies, and to help them through
the best way as they were not very
well posted for their desired route.
They started their trip from the north
end of Lake Nyassa and walked to
Fort Johnson the southern most port
of the lake; from there they went back
up to the mouth of the Rukuru river
and on arriving there they pitched
camp and waited two days for steam
er for Kota Kota bay. This~p is a
low mosquito infested swamp and also
an old slave port. They stayed in this
place five days and then started for
Salisbury, from there to Pretoria, then
walking to Lourenzo MARQUEE they
boarded steamer for Mozambique;
from there to Zomba, staying there four
days and then deciding to start back
for America. The entire trip from the
north end Of Lake Nyassa to Pretoria
and back took them fully three months
Mr.. Meyer was the only one to have
bad luck, having had slight touch
of malaria, which made him feel little
sorry that he started the trip.
They say the trip was rather an un-
pleasant one and are glad to. return
to America again. They left Zomba,
Central Africa, for Zanzibar to board
a steamer FOR Alexandria; from there
they expect to go to Gibraltar, then
to New York. They expect to arrive
in New York about the middle Of Jan
uary and if they get back safe, they
have made up their mind to stay on the
American side. They have good deal
more to tell but won t tell any more
until they get back tonAmerica.

ton by reading, "The Birth of Old
Glory In recent years Miss Runals
had spent little of her time in Ken
