Manufacturers Of First Dis
trict Make Strenuous OBJ
jections to New Law
WILL TEST LAW IN COURTS

The manufacturing companies of
Kenosha are much troubled at the
present time over attempting to COM
ply with the act passed by the last
congress, imposing an excise tax upon
corporations The law seems to re-
quire that inventories shall be taken
en- the last day of the year and
that net profits shall be computed up
on the basis Of such inventory and the
business done during the year.
Many of the Kenosha manufacturing
concerns are engaged in the manu-
facture of products Of various kinds
They claim that this is the building
season with them and that their fac
tories are full from cellar to garnet
with incomplete parts in metal and
wood and that there is no method
known to business men by which in
ventories can be made upon which any
computation of profits may be figured
I They argue, and with seeming rea-
son, that the only way in which such
"a manufacturing concern can deter
mine it's profits is to await the DISPOSE
ton of its yearly product, and then,
by comparison Of cost and selling
price after the ordinary bookkeeper S
methods, learn what has been made
or lost through operation for the year
1T is also generally known that man
ufacturing concerns in this part of the
country build during the winter months
and that the annual inventories are
taken after the yearly product has
been shipped out and during the slack
season of summer, usually about the
month of July.
The difficulties surrounding the APP
tration have been submitted to the
revenue officers and it is understood
that Congressman H. A. Cooper will,
at the request Of certain of manufact-
urers, in the first district, bring the
matter to the personal attention of the
president as soon as he returns to
Washington.
1t is to be noted and should be OBJ
served by Kenosha manufacturers,
that they are not required to make a
report of their net earnings for the
year until March | Of 1910 This will
give them two months within which to
determine what should be done and will
as well afford the revenue officers op-
portunity to conclude on what course
should be followed in cases such as
are Indicated.
1t is learned that number of cases
are under preparation to be instituted
in the courts of the country for the
purpose of testing the constitutionality
of this new law. It's Importance to
the government and to man facturers
becomes manifest when it is considered
that the tax or excise, as it called,
imposed upon the corporation of the
country, may produce not less than
twenty millions of dollars revenue for
the year 1909.

Renorts from the Ice felds indicat.

Reports from the ice fields indicate
that another of the big crops of the
county is practically "safe" In
spite of the heavy SHOWS the ice be-
ing harvested is said to be of fine
quality and there is every indication
that the companies will be able to Sc
cure every pound that they can take
care of. However, it will not do for
the man who expects to buy the ice
next summer to base any hopes OF
reduction in the price on the fact that
there is big crop in this county.
There was big crop in this section
last winter and look at what the ice
companies did to the local consumer
summer.

SERIES OF CONCERTS
Messrs. Mitchell, WaIlner and TirrelI
Hope to Have Mischa Eman Here.

Plans are being made to try and
arrange for the coming season one or
more .hiSh class musical events such
as in the past have given so much
pleasure to Norwich music lovers. The
arrangements for these concerts are
in charge Of Messrs. Archibald Mitch
ell, Eugene Wallner and Henry A. Tir-
rell and for the opening event an op-
ton has been secured for concert
at Slater hall on the evening of Jan
uary IS by Mischa Elman. the great
Russian violinist. Mscha Elman has
no peer as d VioIinist. and wherever
he has appeared he has been greeted
by large and enthusiastic audiences.
Should the promoters be successful
in securing a sufficient number of
pledges to warrant bringing this great
ViOliniSt to Norwich, it will be the
first time that he has consented to
appear in a city anywhere near as
small as Norwich. Voluntary pledges
have been received for 226 tickets, but

in their efforts to provide music of
such high character. Concerts by
such eminent artists as Mischa EIman
are q great benefit TO any city, and
the opportunity to secure for a nomi-
nal sum a musical treat worth many
times what it costs, is one that should
not be lightly rejected. The offered
treat should urge all who are interest
