W. H. H. Ingle's music students
gave very creditable minstrel show
at the opera house Thursday evening
which was witnessed by good sized
audience. The amateur burnt cork
artists were arrayed in bright red md
presented striking appearance. his
being the first appearance on the stage
for many of them, they did remarkably
well. The old soldiers and their wives
were out in force, having received
special invitations. Some of them oc-
cupied seats on the platform. The fol-
lowing was the program:
Grand Opening Overture, Nigerino,
consisting of end mems jokes, songs,
conundrums, funny sayings etc. Eth
opian scenes and variety sketches;

it cannot be built on the installment
plan. Roads, however, need not be all
built at once. There is no use in build
ing them very much in advance of set
tlement. In a new country the demand
for roads grows with increase of set
tiers, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that in this county the demand
for new roads will be steadily increas
ing one. IF we now pledge future
taxes, perhaps we will find when time
for payment comes that the demand
for roads will be greater than it is now,
and the debt will prevent our@supplying
that demand.
It appears to us that if borrowing
money for road building is ever proper,
it is only in case of an emergency. Ii
there is an immediate demand for roads
so great that it cannot be met by the
tax levy limited by law, then it would
seem proper to borrow money. Such
cases do sometimes occur, and it may

of sufficient information to form be-
lief, we are not ready to take stand
on this matter If a proper case of
emergency exists, we may favor bor-
rowing money, otherwise not. Our
columns are open to both sides for a
discussion of the question, and we be-
lieve the matter is of Importance to

upon the assessed valuation, would give

$4,000 COUNTY BONDS
PROPOSED ISSUE FOR BUILD
ING ROADS
COUNTY BOARD TO MEET MAY 8
Important Measure Proposed for the
Development Of Rusk
County

A call for a special meeting of the
county board of supervisors for May 3,
has been signed by majority of the
members. 1t will be for the purpose
of organizing and for the transaction
of any other business that may regu-
larly come before it.
1t is said that proposition will be
made at this spring meeting of the
county board to bond the county for
some $50, 900 for the purpose of build
ing roads. In support of the PROPOSE
ton it is urged that nothing will do so
much to attract new settlers and assist
in developing the county as good roads.
Under county supervision, it is
claimed, money will be expended more
judiciously and Systematically. Roads
will be so built as to form connected
and continuous system. A better class
of contractors will be attracted by the
larger jobs let by the county, and bet
ter supervision will be secured under
the civil engineer employed by the
county.
By paying for the roads by bonds
running long time, we are enabled to
secure the roads at once and distribute
the payment over long period, avoid
ing the high taxes that would be neces7
STATED by raising the amount through
current levies. Moreover, this method
takes part of the burden from the pres
ent generation and places it upon the
next. The property owners of twenty
years hence will reap the benefits, so
why shouldn't they help pay for them?
Like every other question except
Cannonism, there are two sides to this
question. While theoretically the coun-
ty should be able to build roads more
cheaply than the towns, on account of
working on larger scale, there may
be dispute as to its working out in prac-
tice. 1t sometimes happens that work
carried on by county or state is more
extravagant and wasteful than that
done by smaller unit. Work done by
a town or small city is apt to be closely
watched by the taxpayers, who are on
the ground and feel direct interest,
while one feels only an indirect interest
in work done by the state. The coop
erative system established by the law
of 1909, providing for joint building by
town and county seems to combine the
advantages of the local and the county
systems.
To the average taxpayer bonded in
debtedness is not attractive, to say the
least. An individual or corporation will
cheerfully contract a debt to acquire
land, machinery, etc, but it is in the
hope that the acquired property will
bring in revenue that will not only
pay off the debt but yield profit be-
sides. Public debts are not usually for
revenue producing objects. If eXpend-
ed for necessities, they may be proper,
and in sense profitable, but they do
not bring into the treasury funds to
nav off the debt. Public bonds usually
mean simply that payment is deferred,
but the cost is increased by the interest
paid.
For some purposes bonding seems
absolutely necessary. A court house
could not be paid for in one year, and

TOM MFOSTERFOR TREAS.
RETURNS FROM LONG VISIT TO
ENGLAND
MAKES EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Reports Big Tide Of immigration to
Canada. Wisconsin Lacks
Advertising

Tom Foster returned Monday morn
ing from his five months absence on
visit to his old home at Hastings, Eng
land, which he left 22 years ago. He
is more enthusiastic than ever in his
praises of Rusk county, which he says
he has kept up all the time during his
visit to the old world, and has strong
hopes of his missionary work bearing
much fruit in the bringing of desirable
immigrants to this county. He says
there is strong tide of immigration
from the old world to Canada, caused
by the resources of our neighbor on the
north being vividly pictured in every
issue of every paper issued in the
United Kingdom. Such is the force of
printers ink. Few of these immigrants
who Mr.. Foster met had ever before
heard of Wisconsin.
AS in the past, Mr.. Foster is ready to
make any sacrifice for the good of his
adopted country, and therefore announ-
ces his candidacy for the office of coun-
ty treasurer. The field appears to be
open, Treasurer A. E. Fosters second
term expires this year, and the law
precludes the possibility of his holding
the office another term. Tom Foster,
though no relation to the present in
cumbent, believes that he has demon
strated that the Fosters make good
custodians of public funds, without re-
ferring to his own record.
Laying jokes aside, Tom Foster has
made a good record as member of the
county board for four years from the
town of Big Bend, as president of the
Rusk County Fair, and as manager of
the Rusk County Exhibit for two years.
His energy, good judgment and ability
has helped to insure the success of any
cause he espoused, and he can generally
be counted on the right side of ques-
ton.
The News-Budget takes pleasure in
announcing the candidacy of Mr.. Foster
for County Treasurer

OBITUARY

WHITAKER. = Helen Adelaide Yule
was born January 25, 1851; died April
IL, 1910, being in her fifty-ninth year.
Her early life was spent in New York
state. In 1882 she was married to
Frank Whiteaker. To this union seven
children were born, four sons Elmer,
George, William and Clarence, and
three daughters, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs.
Spurrier and Mrs. Him.. In addition to
these she had adopted little Erma. All
of these are living and, with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Hinz, were present at the
funeral. Three brothers, William Yule
of EauClaire, John of Augusta and
Frank of Osceola, and Mr. and Mrs.
Toothman of Amery were also present.
Mrs Whiteaker with her husband
united with the Baptist church in Polk
county about twenty-five years ago.
Coming to Ladysmith about eleven
years ago, they became actively identi-
fled with the work of the church here.
The funeral services were conducted
by r. E. Stevens in the Church of
Christ, and the large number present
testified to the esteem in which the
deceased was held by the community
in which she lived.
The family wish to express their
gratitude to the large circle of neigh
bors and friends for many sympathetic
words and kindly deeds in their be-
reavement.
