under the old system, no taxes could
be collected, So much for the So
cialistic increment duty.
The second feature, the reversion
duty, is a tax of 10 per cent upon the
value of the benefit accruing to land
owners. from improvements made
by the lesseeS, at the expiration of
leases of longer than twenty-one
years duration. In England, where
nearly all improvements are made
upon leased land, 1t is not unusual
for landlord, by the expiration OF
the lease, to become possessed of
buildings and other improvements
worth thousands and hundreds of
thousands of dollars and even mil
lions of dollars, for which he was In

This is the only one of the land
taxes which is analogous to the gen.
eral practice of state taxation In the
United States. Strange to say 1t was
the only Objectionable feature Of
tho entire Lloyd-George scheme. The
landlords could stomach an increment
duty and a reversion duty, In which
they were forced to give to the state
a portion of the money earned for
them by the community, but they re-
garded as monstrous imposition
the taxation of their i'd lie land. 1t

heart of the British aristocracy, for
it meant a tax on the game pre-.

made that 1t might force some of
the game preserves to be turned back

order that the land might come un-
der the exceptions granted to farm

these taxes as much to make large

NEW STRUCTURES. in SIGHT

There is no question but what the
Congregational Church Society will
erect a new church building this sum
mer to cost $4,000. The C. NJ. &
st. Paul Rail Road Company promise
to build a new depot that will be
equal to, If not the best. on the
Wisconsin Valley Division of that
road. We believe the city will take
the necessary steps to secure a
s25, 100000 Carnegie Library to be
erected this summer and we have
every reason to believe that Johnson,
Hill and Co., will construct a large,
new department store building on
property that they now own on the
corner of Grand Ave, and Third
Ave. North, known as the Jackson
property. II these materialize, as
we have every reason to believe that
they will, there will be other smaller
residences and buildings put up SO
that the season Of 1910 certainly
looks very promising.

SENSATIONAL SKATER AT
AMUSEMENT HALL

Patrons of the Amusement Hall
were treated TO some sensational
stunts on roller skates, performed by
Mr.. Roy Miracle Of Wausau, on Sun
day evening. An inclined plane ten
inches wide, was erected from the
balcony railing to the main floor,
down which the young man rolled on
skates, the momentum being SO great
that he went the full length of the
hall before he could stop himself.
Mr.. Miracle performed this feat a
second time blindfolded, and also did
other hazardous and spectacular
stunts, such as jumping over a dozen
chairs at time, etc Manager Be-
LANCER announced that Mr.. Miracle
would appear here again in the near
future, when he will attempt some
very thrilling and novel performances
on the roller skates.

for about a year from abdominal trou
BILE which was the cause of her
death, but was able to be up and
about. until last Christmas, she hav-
Ing attended church Oh that day.
h Mrs. Thresa Kuntz WAS born Dec
s,+nber 25th. 1849. at Troy, N. z, and
was 81 years Of age at the time Of
her death. She moved to Wisconsin

NEW PIANO STORE HERE

The Messrs Del and Jess White
Of Stevens Point, have rented the
vacant store space in the Opera
House building and have installed
therein, a fine new stock of pianos,
it being their intention to conduct
piano store in this city. Both Of
these gentlemen are web and favor
ably known here and we can con-
ceive no reason why they should
not be very successful in their new
venture. This concern does not op-
crate an agency for the sale Of
pianos, but own their instruments
outright. While they sell several
different makes of pianos, they are
featuring the Bush and Fame tnstru-
ment which Is considered stand
ard for excellency Of workmanship
and quality OF tone, and have half a
carload Of these magnificent instru-
ments on display at their store with
more coming. We wish them success
in their new undertaking.

HUMAN LIFE FOR FEBRUARY

Unusual interest attaches to the
February issue of HUMAN LIFE on
account of three remarkable articles
dealing with vital issues in American
civic life. The first is the story OF
Charles S. Whitman, the new Dist
rict Attorney for New York, and the
mastery manner in which, in the
past, he has beaten Tammany at its
own game; the second relates to
Edwin T. Earl, millionaire wielder
of the ''big stick" and his wonder
full battle against the gang Of tbood-
lers that dominated the city of Los
Angeles; and last, but far from least
of the trio is the third installment
Of Alfred Henry Lewis's famous ser
les, Travelling with Taft" with its
amazing revelations of the robber
interests that are growing fatter
and more arrogant than ever under
the paternal wing of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff.
IN sharpest contrast with these
articles is Vance Thompson's sur
prising story of Jean Jaures, the

OVER 1000 CORDS JACK PINE

The farmers in the vicinity of
Grand Rapids have been very appre-
ciative of the fact that the Grand
Rapids Pulp and Paper Company at
Biron have been buying jack pine
this winter to be used in the manu-
facture of wrapping paper. This
company has been paying $3.50 per
cord for the same and we under
stand will purchase about 1900 cords
This is the first time that any Of
the paper mills have accepted this
kind of wood and it has made an
excellent market during the idle
months of the winter for the farm
ers residing on the east side of the
Wisconsin river to clear land and sell
this kind of wood to this Company.
We know they appreciate this, as
those who are selling the wood have
told US so. The management of the mill
Informed us that this wood lis mix
ed up with other materials for the
manufacture of cheap wrapping paper
and in this way makes a market for
material that could not be used for
any other purpose than fire-Wood,
and it is not very desirable for that.
