STUDENTS HAVE OUTING.
Kenosha Business College Students Pic
mic at Petri fying Springs.

Fhe day students of the Kenosha
Business College took vacation for
the day Wednesday and enjoyed picnic
out at the Petrifying Springs. They
drove out in the morning and spent the
entire day in the woods in the vicinity
OF the springs. An elaborate picnic
lunch was served under the trees at
noon, and the afternoon was spent in
various games and all sorts of amuse-
ments. There was not one dull moment
the entire day and all were unanimous
in their verdict that it was all too
short
The feature of the afternoon was an
indoor baseball game between the
young ladies of the school and the
young gentlemen. It was a hotly con-
listed game and at the close showed a
score of % to % in favor of the young
ladies. Miss Katheryn Milbrath acted
as umpire and showed a remarkable
knowledge of the game, and fairness
in her decisions.
1t is safe to say that the day will
be remembered as the red letter day
OF the entire school year.

DISCUSSES INCOME TAX BILL.
Attorney Chester Barnes Of Kenosha
Points Out Defects in the Bill.

Kenosha had it's inning in the hear
ing on the proposed income tax bill at
Madison on Thursday evening when
Attorney Chester D. Barnes appeared
before the committee to point out OBJ
iectionaI features Of the bill. The bill
as whole does not meet with the
support Of the big manufacturers of
Kenosha and it seems to be getting the
same kind Of reception in other parts
of the state.
Mr.. Barnes spoke briefly. In open
ing he pointed out the fact that non
residents could not be reached for
transactions in the state, while resi-
dents could, which was not fair to resi-
dents. The income tax, he said, would
impose on manufacturers in the state
a handicap Of per cent. This depriv-
ed them of an equal chance in their
own field. This per cent would, he
said, in panic times be the straw that
would back the camel's back. "You
are trying" he said, "to legis,
late against something economically
wrong"
eff your personal property tax is
wrong" said he, referring to that tax,
"how are you going to get the thing
derived from it?"
Mr.. Barnes said he believed the time
would come when there would be a
national income tax, which would be
apportioned to the states and by them
apportioned to counties and towns.

NOT WANTED IN CITY SCHOOLS
superintendent and Members of the
Board Declare That the Law Usurps
Powers Particularly for the School
Boaxda.

superintendent Of Schools Mrs. Mary
ID. Bradford, members of the board of
education and teachers of the Kenosha
schools this morning sent letters to AS
semblyman M. J. Scholey and State
Senator Isaac 7. Bishop calling on them
to use their best efforts to defeat the
bill now before the legislature calling
for the use of uniform text books in
the state. The bill is considered a de-
cidedly obnoxious one by the Kenosha
educators and it is held that it would
be a distinct disadvantage to the
schools of Kenosha. It is alleged that
powerful influences are at work at
Madison to secure the passage of the
bill in order to make it possible for
such companies as may find favor with
the proposed state text book commits
sion to have the books Of these COM
panies published exclusively for the
use of the children of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Bradford in speaking of the
matter this morning said: "We regard
the bill as one that should be killed
without any question. 1t is not posi-
BILE that any commission could select
books that would be acceptable to all
the schools of the state and [ feel and
I believe that it is the belief of all
the members of the Kenosha Board of
Education that we should be allowed
to use our own judgment in making up
the list of text books for Kenosha.
Such law would mean a change of
text books affecting every school in the
state and there is no reason to sus-
pect that similar changes would not be
ordered by the commission in the fut-
ure. School boards in all parts of the
state have gone on record as being op.
posed to the state usurping the power
that is given to the school boards I'M
der the present laws and they are OPP
posed TO any cnange.
The provisions of the proposed law
are as follows:
l. For the creation of a. state text
book commission composed of the state
superintendent of public instruction,
the president Of the state university,
the governor and two other persons ap-
pointed by the governor for terms Of
six years.
z. For the empowering Of the above
commission to select and to adopt one
and the same system or series of school
text books for each and every school
in Wisconsin receiving money from the
state, the books so selected and adopted
not to be changed for period Of five
years.
3. For empowering the above COM
mission to make whatever rules are
necessary for compelling the exclusive
use of the school text books SO select
ed and adopted in all grades from the
first through the high school, rural
schools, state graded schools, city sys-
TENS of schools, etc.
4. For The infection OF certain fines
upon teachers and school officers who
shall permit the use of any other than
the text books adopted and selected
by the state text book commission.

MORE PAY FINES.
Speeders Crowd Court Room of Judge
Randall ana Settle With Court.

"Well now fast were you hitting it
up" This is the ordinary salutation in
the municipal court these days and the
motorcycle squad of the police depart
ment is still continuing its activity in
the arrest of automobile drivers charg
ed with speeding. The exchequer of
the city is beginning TO swell with
fines and it is certain that if the police
keep up at the present rate that the
motorcycle will be paid for before the
end of the summer. The grist at the
court on Thursday afternoon and this
morning included Milton A. Kent who
paid So and costs; John McGovern, Jr.,
S. and costs; Charles Conover, $40 and
costs; William Gritzbaugh, s. and
costs; +. J. Dunnebacke, So and costs.
There is a lot Of kicking among the
automobile drivers, but rot one man
has come iRto court 80 fight his arrest
and all admit that they violated the
law. The big kick is OF the fact that
the twelve miles an hour provision IS
rot regarded as fair to tire auto driv
eTs. It may be said right here that
the paliee are not arrestiug men driv-
ing twelve miles an hour, but those
who drive over twenty miles an hour.

In keeping with the well known
practicaGty of Mr.. Fisher, the new
secretary of the interior, on the occa-
sion OF his first public appearance as a
member of the cabinet he discussed a
question. of conservation and business
interest. He has just addressed the
National Fire Protection association on
"The Fire Waste, q subject intimate
ly connected with the conservation of
the national resources and pointed out
tho causes of this waste as well as
some means of preventing or reducing
it, The fire waste of the country is
one of its crying evils, the more so as
most of it has officially been declared
by bureau of Secretary Fisher S de-
partment to be due to carelessness, and
easily preventable Last year it was
1924, $50. If the fires keep on at
the present rate for 1911, the total will
be over $260,O00000. This is absolute
waste, a turning of natural and man
featured products into smoke and
ashes. Fire insurance does not replace
their values, as many people appear to
suppose; it merely distributes the bur
den over the entire country. Fire
losses and the cost of fire prevention
amount to over $500,000000 year in
the United States If buildings in this
country were as freproof as in Europe,
and the people felt the same response
bility for fire, the annual cost of fire
losses and protection would be less
than $lo0,o00,00o. A saving of $780,
100000 a year would greatly increase
the prosperity of the country.
Everything possible should be done
by governments, insurance men and
citizens to strengthen the movement
for better building laws, improved
construction and protection, and-most
important Of ala greater sense OF
individual responsibility for the fire

The suggestion that the public wear
some emblem on Decoration day to
