The children from each school dis
trict will be expected to attend the
schools in their own districts as laid out
by the superintendent of schools. They
will not be permitted to change out of
their own district for any reason what
ever and parents will save trouble and
confusion by bearing this fact in mind
when the schools open a week from to-
day. The reason for this ruling is too
clear to require any explanation and
there are to be no exceptions. There
has been more preliminary work done
this year in preparing for the opening
of the schools than ever before and, with
any kind of cooperation from the par
ents, the pupils will be able to get
down to actual school work the first
day Of the term instead of there being
the usual two or three days delay
IN sorting out The pupils and sending
them to the buildings where they be-
long The boundaries of the districts
have been published but if there is
any doubt in the minds Of any parents
as to where their children should 90, an
application to the Office of the superin-
tendent of schools will receive prompt
attention.

School Board Of the portion of the town
represented by the petition was fully
represented and the members of the
board declared that they had no OBJ
lection to the annexation of the terri
tory to the school district. The counl
Gil was largely Influenced in it IS action
by short address made to it by Presi-
dent G.. HI. Curtis of the Board of Edu-
cation who declared that it would be
impossible for the Board of Education
to provide for the education of the
children in the district. In his short
talk Mr.. Curtis said: "While l have
not been fully Informed as to the
petition for annexation of this territory
[ do know that at the present time
the Board has everything that it can
take care of. We have arranged to
open three basement rooms this year
and / for one seriously object to any
plan to further burden the board. It
does not seem right to me that the city
Of Kenosha' should be forced to place
it IS own children in basement rooms
in order to take care of children out
side the district. We are trying to
make room for the children in the city
and we are finding this big task. We
have used great care in opening the
basement rooms and have selected dry
light rooms and we believe that these
rooms will be healthful at all times.
We have recently built twelve room
building but even with these facilities
we find it q hard matter to meet the in
crease of 400 pupils shown by the re-
cent school census. l feel certain that
I express the sentiment of the entire
board when / say we should be opposed
to any extenson of the joint school
district at this time"

Clerk was ordered to notify the mem

Referring to the 100000 expenditures
of the game wardens department, the
bulletin writer of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association makes a, few
unfattering comparisons between what
he. calls the expense Of Protecting the
game" and the amount expended for
the safeguarding of the public health
as shown by the $4,000 appropriation
for the maintenance of the state board
of health. All of which doubtless makes
interesting reading for that part of the
general public which has no knowledge
of conditions but any politician could
have told the bulletin man that the ex-
penditUres in the actual work of protect
ing game really constituted but small
part of the expenses of that depart
ment, most of the deputy ', 2rdens, until
very recently at least, devoting most
of their time to political work. Furth-
ermore the expenses of the game war
dens department. are paid by the rev.
enue received from the sale of hunting
licenses and not out Of the direct taxes
raised by the state so that the choice
of department to compare with was
rather unfortunate all around.

APPEALS WADE CASE.
Northwestern Railway Company Takes
$4,000 Damage Suit to Supreme Court

The attorneys for the Northwestern
Railway Company have filed bill of
exceptions in the suit of Nicholas r.
Wade VS.. the Company and the case
will be appealed to the supreme court
of the state. Wade was injured by.
being struck by a train on the defend
ant S tracks more than two years, ago
and when the suit was tried in court
the jury awarded him damages to the
amount of $4,000. It was one of the
largest verdicts ever handed down
in the circuit court for Kenosha county
in personal damage suit. In it's bill
of exceptions the company asks that
the supreme court review the case on
the grounds that the lower court erred
IN refusing to grant verdict for the
defendant notwithstanding the verdict
of the jury and for the further grounds
that the court refused an order to
change the answer of the jury in the
special verdict which found that the
injury to Wade was due to the negli-
gence of the officials of the company.
1t is probable that the case will be
placed on the September calendar for
the consideration of the higher court.

the village of Somers had noticed that

Two hundred million dollars is alleg-
ed TO be the amount of taxable stocks
and bonds owned by half a dozen opu-
lent citizens of Chicago, on which no
taxes are paid. No tax will be paid on
them either, for the taxes would absorb
about a third of the income derived
from them, and an income tax of thirty
per cent is preposterous.
Sticking the dogs on the tax-dodger
is standard form of public amusement
IN the United States, but the great
amounts of legally taxable personal
property which now escape taxation
will never be reached until revenue
laws are radically amended.
The average rate of taxation the
country over is two per cent. The
public holds some six billions of rail
road bonds ON which the average in.
terest is about four per cent. Generally
speaking, therefore, whoever confesses
to the assessor ownership of a railroad
bond must sacrifice half the income de-
rived from his investment result not
calculated to promote candor among
investors. The average dividend paid
last year the holders of five billions of
railroad stock was six and half per
cent Much of this stock is legally
liable to taxation and the average tax
would absorb thirty per cent of the
lneome-an intolerable rate.
There is no moral defense for tax
lodging. But when you see a brick
headed IN your direction you dodge first
and moralize about it afterward. Shout
ing at the tax-dodger is waste Of
breath The thing to shout at is our
archaic revenue law.-saturday Post.

In view of all the circumstances, 1t
was not T. be expected that the board
of visitors of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute would do otherwise than
fully exonerate President Barringer
at the conclusion of the recent in
vestisatlon. Dispatches from Blacks
burg while the investigation was in
progress stated that only two of the
members Il the board had given Sc
rlous consideration" TO the charges,
so 1t was not surprising when the ma
jority OF the board made report
wholly favorable to the president,
while two members made a minority
report containing charges equally as
serious as those filed by the president
CT the alumni association.
Discussing this matter. the DanvilIe
Register makes this pertinent COM
ment:
-. The board in indicating Dr.
Barringer from the Priddy charges
was in sense indicating its own
action in selecting and retaining him
as president. As tending TO show
further why no other action could
have been reasonably expected from
