other parts of the state will be brought
in during the campaign. The state com
mittee has notified the local leaders
that the national Democratic speakers
bureau will be more active this wear
than ever In an "off year" campaign

a chance to hear a lot of Democratic
speeches before the campaign is over.
The Democrats are getting busy early
and ward and town committees are to
be named this week to have charge Of
the work in certain districts. All of
these committees viii work under the
county chairman and he will have

date for congress for the first Wiscon-

Wiping ont 500 saloons would mean
q loss I'm revenue TO the city OF $500

present tax levy.
The saloon license money goes TO
support the poor commission ana
health board funds entirely. and the
police department fund in part. The
surplus goes to the citys deficiency
fund. which replaces the delinquent
and uncollectable taxes. The detci-
ency fund is not in thriving condi-
tion just az the present time.
More taxes have been Cancelled
since July | by the council than We're
ever Cancelled before in such space
of time From July |. 1909, to Feb.
ll5. 1910. the council Cancelled SlO,-
I $3.50 of 1909 taxes.
During the same time there were
Cancelled $3.643.2i OF 1908 taxes, while
the controller was instructed 10 re-
fund about 3 500 in taxes collected
where the assessment had been incor'
rect. This is total OF $l5.6S0.0i OF
taxes RENTED. representing an as
sessed valuation of nearly SS5O,0OO
From July !, 1905 to July /, 1909
the council RENTED $9,l6l.l4 OF 1908
taxes Comparing this with the car
celatiOns OF 1909 taxes SO far this
year. T. can be- seen that IN less than
two-thirds of the time. the council has
this year Cancelled much more of the
previous years taxes than was done
for the whole OF the last year with
the 1908 taxes.
In addition 10 the cancellations. the
treasurer's Office has lately had
charged off more than $4,000 OF de-
linquent personal taxes as uncollect
able.
The drain OF all these tax losses
comes upon the deficiency fund, and
IL may be necessary. II the number oil
saloons closed out is large. TO provide
some other means of supplying this
fund
David Ponnuskv, who has handled
delinquent tax matters in the city
treasurer's Office for years, states that
the amount OF cancellations OF taxes
has been increasing ever since 1906
