Of all the feeble arguments against
the establishment of postal savings de-
positories, the feeblest is that it will
cripple the existing savings banks.
Bankers are appearing before the house
postofice committee, which is consid-
ering the senate postal savings bill,
and say with apparent earnestness
that if the government were to receive
savings deposits up to a $500 limit,
paying 2 per cent interest on them,
men and women would rush to draw
their money out of banks which are
paying them 8, 81 og 4 per cent in
terest, and hand it to the government
for safekeeping
The argument is that the depositor
would be Indifferent to the loss in in
terest because of the absolute assur-
ance that he could not lose the prin-
cipal. That is false assumption.
There are, it is true, occasions when
depositors lose sight of interest in
their anxiety TO save the principal. A
rumor that their savings bank is in
trouble will send them flying there to
close their accounts, even though they
would be credited with six months ;
interest the following day. But as a
rule the first thought of man with
little money is where can he get the
highest interest rate.
That is an incurable trait, and be-
cause of it large sums are continually
being lost. The lure of HIGH interest
blinds men to the insecurity of invest
ments, or, being human, they take the
gamblers chance. IF congress could
by legislation induce all men to be
content with small returns on their
money, coupled with absolute security,
that legislation ought to be enacted
forthwith. Then those who grow fat
through the. credulity of small invest
ors, who snap at offers of 10, Is, or
20 per cent, would not be able to
make the easy living they do now.
The average man who has a few
hundred dollars in savings bank
which pays him per cent will not re-
duce the earning power of his money
one-third to buy extra security for the
principal The postal savings deposi-
tories are not for men who already
have savings accounts, but for those
who have no faith in banks or are far
removed from their facilities.-Trib-
une.

MAY CHANGE TIME FOR PAYING
Council Will be Asked to Have Clerk
Send Out Bills for All Assessments
of This Nature in Order to Aid in
Collecting Taxes

City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz is
urging upon the members of the COM
mon council the adoption of some new
plan for the collection of the special
assessments levied in Kenosha for the
purpose of paying for street improve
ments as he has found that the collec-
ton OF these special assessments to-
gether with the tax roll is a decided
nuisance. The property owner is not
given any notice of the amount of the
assessments to be paid and he is forced
to go to the treasurer to secure the
amount Of the tax and this takes up a
great amount Of time.
In other cities and particularly in
Racine this matter of special assess
ments is largely handled by the city
clerk. A bill is sent out to every
property owner stating the exact
amount he may owe in special assess
ments and the stub of this bill is plac-
ed in the keeping of the city treasurer.
When the tax is paid all that is neces-
sary is for the treasurer to receipt the
statement sent out by the clerk and
the stub and this makes unnecessary
the writing of a long tax receipt. The
payment of these assessments coming
as it does at the same time of the col
lection of the regular tax levy makes
ut a nuisance and often times scores
Of people are kept waiting in order to
allow the treasurer and his assistant
to write receipts for special assess
ments.
Suggestion has been made that
special assessments be made payable
at another time Of the year. It is
necessary to assess these assessments
at the same time that the tax roll is
made up, but it is thought that the
council could change the time of pay
ing these assessments to the summer
months. This would be a decided
help to the property owners and it is
thought that such plan would result
in smaller number of delinquent
tax payers. In the summer months
it would be an easier matter for the
tax payers, to get the money ready to
meet these special assessments.
City Treasurer Steinmetz has not as
yet worked out his complete plan for
a change in the method of collecting
these assessments but he plans to lay
the matter before the common council
just as soon as that body is re-organiz-
ed and it is thought that the aldermen
will be willing to act favorably on
some OF his suggestions. He is now
collecting data from other cities in
order to be able to present his propos-
ed changes to the council in manner
which will make it possible for the
aldermen to act intelligently on his
suggestions.

under the direction of Miss Marie

are entitled to high praise for the sue

of uniform excellence, but especial no.
tice should be given to the manner in
which Miss Lolita G. Riley and Walter

the play, carried their parts. The

Real Estate Truths
Real Estate Is Climbing
in Kenosha

There are very few good high-cIass
pieces of property for sale here. If you
don't believe it try and buy piece that
suits you.
There are about 20 persons in Kenosha
who are willing to buy a LOT that, if it
suits them, will pay from $4,000 to
$4,000 or from $4,000 to $4,000 for /.
house and lot, but very few are to b
had.
Most people underestimate the size of a
vacant lot. A lot 5Ox15O feet when
vacant looks to be about 4OxlOO feet,
but put a house on the same lot
and it looks to be about 90 100 feet.
Compare vacant lot with lot of the
same size which has house on it and
see how much larger it looks.
For example, take the lot facing the
park at Prairie Avenue, it is OVER
SO $50 feet as it stands, but it
looks to be about 40 feet wide, put
house ON it and it will look like a big
lot, it is for sale at $4,000 per front
foot or $4,000.

THURSDAY, MARCH "a, 1910.

The attempt to connect the Indus
trial Association with any political
party or clique of POLITICIANS should be
promptly resented by its members.
That organization is strictly non-parti-
san if there evere was one and it is
formed solely to advance the interests
of the city. All parties and factions
of all parties are represented in its
membership and working for its sue
cess and its future usefulness to the
city will depend largely on keeping
it out of politics.

Captain Charles Schend of the fire
department and Charles Rottman, driv-
er for the police department, who went
to Madison on Monday to deliver

mile trip was one that will never be
forgotten by the two men. They were
al but exhausted when they managed
to land their man in the state institu-
tion.

Little Mistakes.


we will go back to the days before
you worked for your living says Anna
Steese Richardson in the Womans Home
Companion for March, when you were
a liddie with a perfectly normal fear of
pain. You ran a silver deep into your
finger. You gouged at it with a needle,
but drew only little blood for your
pains. So you made a secret trip to the
medicine closet, rubbed salve over the
spot and trusted blindly that the silver
would come out somehow and the wound
would heal. OF course. il you had gone
at once to mother and had her take
out the splinter, there would have been
no need for salve or bandage.
''But you said mother would hurt, and
so you endured the irritating little ache
until one day mother saw the dirty
bandage, removed it and found an ugly
infiamed spot on your finger. 1t was a
sickening moment when the wound was
opened and the bit of wood drawn out,
but you had had your lesson. Never again
did you allow a splinter to tester
'Our little mistakes in the business

childhood, and if we never let them tester
