Assessed at 1926 Per cent.

Moneys and credits showed an aver
age local assessment of only 1925 per
cent or true value for the entire state.
In many assessment districts the asses
sor had ignored it entirely. This was
true IN I909 IN every assessment dis
trict IN the counties of Douglas, Flor
ence Iron, Sawyer, Villas and Wash
burn. The commission therefore placed
valuation of its own upon the
moneys and credit in the counties nam
ed Of $9S5,714-$695, 1854 of this being
IN Douglas county alone. This added
nothing to the local assessment rolls,
but in the apportionment> of state
taxes the taxpayers whose property
was upon the rolls had to carry the
burden OF this additional valuation, the
owners OF which escaped. There was
added IN the same manner to the local
valuation more than million dollars
IN each of the following counties:
Brown, $2,246,386; Dane, $780,. 199;
Dodge, s2,4lo,Sl5; Fond du Lac, So

Walter Strochein Sentenced for Burg
larry Wanted at Sheboygan Now.
Chief of Police O'Hare this morning
received letter from Chief August
Sehreck of Sheboygan, giving brief
resume of the criminal career of Wal
ter Stroehein, who was sentenced to a
term of two years in the state prison
for burglary in the municipal court on
Friday. 1t is evident that the story
told by Strochein is true and the She
boygan officials gave long list of
crimes for which the man had been
sentenced to different institutions. 1t
was stated that Strochein recently
returned to Sheboygan and at the time
of his arrest at Kenosha he was being
sought by the officers there in connec-
ton with the burglary of two tailor
shops. 1t is thought that Strochein
may have been connected with these
burglaries. On the request of the She
boygan officials the man is being held
here in order to give them q chance to
quiz him. It is expected that the
Sheboygan officials will be here this
afternoon.

WOULD GET PICKPoCKETs.
Deputies eGing Asked to Aid Crews Of
the G. G. NJ e. Railway.

Every police officer, deputy sheriff,
and constable on the north shore, has
been enlisted by the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railroad company in
a crusade against gang of pick
pockets who have been operating on
their cars for the past six months.
Within the past three days several
passengers on the road have had their
pockets picked.
Last week pickpocket was caught
in the act of robbing a passenger of
his wallet by the conductor in charge
Of the car The conductor laid the
pickpocket low with blow on the jaw.
The conductor was knocked down in q
similar manner by the pickpocket s ac-
complice. Both robbers escaped by
taking to the woods east Of the railroad
track at Fourteenth street, North Chi
cago. The motorman and Conductor
took up the chase but the pickpockets
made good their escape by catching a
freight train ON the Chicago & North
western railroad.
Several similar thefts have been re-
ported along the north shore.
1t was reported yesterday that the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric company
had employed Chicago detectives to aid
them in running down the pickpockets.
This report was not verified by the
company's officers.

State Commission Preparing
for Collection of Income
Tax Next Year
SEND BLANKS TO RESIDENTS

The state tax commission has started
preparing for the work of assessing
the income of the inhabitants of the
state so that the income tax NAV be
collected next year. Several employees
will be put to work by the commission
lat once upon the preliminary work
necessary before the assessments are
made One of the principal tasks
which the commission will have to per
form before any assessments are made
will be the preparation and distribu-
ton of blanks to the residents of the
state in which they will be asked to
make statements in regard to their
incomes. This clerical work will oc-
cupy some time and it is not likely
that any income tax assessors will be
appointed much before fall 1t can be
said that the state tax commission
which has in, charge the administra-
tion of the income tax law has good
deal of faith in the law and believes
that the measure will prove success
and that large amount of revenue
viii be obtained for the state under
the law.
AS was said by the governor in his
message the larger proportion of the tax
collected under the law goes to the
municipality in which the person as
sessed resides. If the hopes Of the tax
commission as to the amount which will
be obtained under the law prove cor
rest the collection under the law will
materially reduce the real estate as,
sessments in all communities. It can
be said that the tax commission is
making careful preparations for the
administration Of the law, it being the
belief Of the commissioners that much
depends as regards the popularity or
unpopularity of the measure, upon the
way that it is originally administered.
The bill was under fire all the
time it was before the legislature on
the ground that it would be an unpop-
ular measure.

CUTS LOSS OF LIFE
Report Of N. w. Road for Year
Shows Decrease in Number
Killed in Accidents
MANY EMPLOYEES MEET DEATH

An increase in safety Of railroad
travel and employment is reported for
the fiscal year ending June 80 by the
Chicago and Northwestern railway.
Much of the credit for the decreases
in the number of persons killed and in
Jured is ascrlbed to the safety commit
tee plan, inaugurated last year, to in
terest officers and employees in the
safety problem.
The results of the safety committee
campaign for the year are disclosed
in report by Ralph c. Richards, gem
eral claim agent, and also chairman of
the central safety committee. This
gives a list of the accidents and fatal
ties divided as between passengers,
various classes of employees, and other
persons. In nearly every class there
are fewer accidents shown. The total
of persons killed in all kinds of acct
dents was reduced from 353 to 302, or
14.7 per cent, and the total of injured
from 10,163 to $3.50 or 17.3 per cent.
During the year ninety employees
We're killed, fourteen passengers and 1913
other persons, while there were iniur-
ed 1875 employees, 663 passengers, and
587 other persons. While the number
Of passengers shows an increase of
three over the previous year, seventeen
fewer employees were killed and thirty
seven fewer other persons. The in
juries to employees decreased by 1,494,
to passengers by 265 and other persons
by nineteen. The decrease in total of
injuries and deaths among passengers
is 27.9 per cent.
The greatest number of fatalities is
shown to have been among the train
men and trackmen twenty-five of each
class losing their lives, while % $50
trainmen and 1,517 trackmen were in
jured. Other fatalities among the en-
ployes include thirteen switchmen.
three bridgemen and five ear repairers
and inspectors.
The safety organization of the North
western which has since been adopted
by several other roads, includes a cen
trail safety committee composed of gem
eral officers and division safety com
mittees divided equally between en-
ployes and divisional officers. The di-
vision committees make periodical trips
of inspection over their divisions seek
ne defects, or bad methods which may
cause accidents

LAST OF TELEPHONE COMPANY
Citizens Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany Failed to Fire Report and it is
Not Expected to Comply With the
Law this Year.

Register of Deeds, Leo M. Flasch re-
ceived from the secretary of state this
morning the list of incorporated com
panies in Kenosha vino had failed to
comply with the laws of the state by
filing an annual report before the first
day of July and under the laws the
charter Of these companies will become
forfeited if the report is not in the
hands of the state before the first day
of next January. The notice sent at
this time is considered final warning
to the companies to file their reports.
There are five companies in the list
inluding:
Kenooha Gas Light and Coke Co.
Konosha Gas, Electric, Light and
Fuel Co.
Kenosha Gas and Electric Co.
Kenosha Fruit Co.
Citizens Telegraph and Telephone Co.
The first three companies are all in.
Guided in one present incorporation, all
of the business of the Kenosha Gas
Light and Coke company and the Ke-
nosha Gas, Electric Light and Fuel
company having been taken over by
the Kenosha Gas and Electric company.
However, the franchise and incorpora-
ton rights Of the other companies have
been continued from year to year. The
Kenosha Gas and Electric company is
now utility under the direction of the
state railroad commission and the
annual report of the company has al
ready been filed by the company with
the commission. 1t is possible that
copy of the report will also be filed
with the secretary Of state in order to
provide against any possible violation
of the law.
The Kenosha Fruit company seems
to have gone out of business. The
name of the company does not appear
in the city directory.
The call for the report of the Citi-
zen S Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany will probably result in that com
pany's charter being revoked The
only property of the company is claims
now in litigation and the franchise
rights granted to it by the city council
which have been declared of no value
The officials of the company are no
longer in Kenosba ard President John
son, who is the only man financially in
terested in the company, is now facing
trial for criminal charges in Michigan.
It is not probable that any effort will
be made to keep up the charter of the
company and it will probably be re-
voked by the action of the state laws.
The number of companies reported
as delinquent this year is decidedly
small and none of them who desire to
keep their charters will fail to meet
the provisions of the law.

PLAN MUTUAL COMPANY.
Plan to Take Care of Claims Under New
Workmen's Compensation Law.

There is movement on foot by
manufacturers of the state to organize
mutual industrial insurance associa-
ton to take care Of the injury claims
under the new workmen s compensation
act passed by the last legislature.
1t is understood that most of he
Kenosha manufacturing institutions
will be in on this association. A meet
ing will probably be held in Milwau-
kee within short time to formulate
plans for perfecting such an organiza-
ton.
The statement is made that it will
be one Of the most important steps
affecting labor ever taken by the en-
ployers of the state of Wisconsin.
Mar ufacturers of the state did not
oppose this worlmen's compensation
act, and co-operated with the legisla-
tire to obtain the insertion in it of
provision that would prevent imposi-
ton or fraud through employees who
might carelessly or deliberately iniure
themselves.
The association, if perfected, as now
seems likely, will handle millions of
dollars every year.

Buying tease count means that a

Rots bring just as much as good eggs.
Buying Gloss off means that the eggs
are candled before payment is made
and rotten and broken eggs are re
turned to the farmer. Occasionally
the difference is made between first
and second quality eggs.

may have erred in some of his deci-

mistake on his part to outweigh the
value Of his conscientious and fearless
performance of duty in a very difficult
