Plenty of Money for the Interurban

That the financing of the Chicago &
Wisconsin Valley Ry. Co. has been sat-
isfactorily accomplished and that there
will be increased activity in construc-
ton forthwith is the authoritative an
nouncement just made from the gen
eral offices of the company.
It is stated that the bonds of the in
terurban and street railway company
have been underwritten by the great
bond house of Geo. P. Smith & Co. of
New York, Chicago and Washington,
the we'll known "Silent Smith firm.
Of the bonds, $3,OOO,O00 have been sold
and the other SIS, 100000 will be dispos-
ed of as needed.
During the winter season the railway
company will distribute material at
Madison, Portage, Poynette and Wau-
nakee for the building of the Madison
Portage section of the interurban, so
as to be ready for early work in the
spring. While the roadbed between
these cities is being graded, work on
the city lines in Portage and Madison
will be completed, as will also the loop
around Lake Monona. Portage Demo

The Local Paper.

The indirect benefits derived from
subscribing to the local paper and from
using it for advertising purposes are
double and triple the direct benefits.
1t is through the newspaper that the
community speaks on all occasions on
which the community desires to be, and
if its best interests are to be served,
must be heard. But the community
must not as a community forget that
the publisher of the paper is at his own
expense exploiting the community and
benefting each member of it as much
as-perhaps more than himself. The
first aid in any local campaign is found
in the newspaper. 1t is through its
columns that are made known the ad-
vantages possessed by the community
it serves. It's pages chronicle every
movement of interest and Importance
to that community and it is the one
factor in local development that cannot
profitably or safely be omitted or dis
regarded Elk.

THE NEW TAKING SCHEME

The Wisconsin legislature is not slow
in evolving new schemes for reaching
the pocketbooks of the average citizen.
The income tax lawis the latest. Just
what this contemplates no one of ordin-
airy intelligence appears to comprehend.
But we notice here and there some man
with breadth of thought attemps to give
the information sought in this pulling
enactment of more sections than any
other on the statute books. At this
distance it appears that it is an added
instrument to go after the pound of
flesh. Possibly not, but it is some
what queer that Wisconsin should in
augurate system of taxation aban-
doned by nearly every state that has
given it trial.
That the income tax is an unfathom-
ed scheme in Wisconsin would appear
from the labored explanation sought to
be made by Governor McGovern as a
plausible excuse for approving the
measure. He occupies not a little
space to tell home owners that, in adj
dition to the realty tax assessed against
their possessions, they have no right to
complain Of that portion of the new
law which compels them to pay an in
come tax on an amount equal to the
rental they would receive if the prop
erty were leased to another. This
rule, too, will apply to the farm and
its buildings.
Another wise head tells state and
federal officials who draw princely sal
aries that such earnings will be exempt
from the new law because it would be
unconstitutional to deprive them of a
set salary-or rather decrease in the
pay fixed by law.
And there are other equally edifying
solutions of the new law. The admin.
istration of the law will be the better
teacher of it's workings, and we may
well await that DEVELOPMENT.

MUSIC DRILL PLANNED
New Army Feature To Be Shown al
Military Tournament.

The program for the National Mill
tary Tournament to be held in Grant
Park, Chicago, July % to 80, has been
so arranged that in no way viii the
tournament interfere with the regular
summer encampment plans of the diff
ferent regiments The original plan
was to have the troops encamped in
Grant Park for a week and make this
tour of duty a substitute for the sum
mer encampment.
The arrangements accordingly have
been worked out so that the Chicago
organizations will participate only in
the night displays of the tournament.
The afternoon programs, which will be
no less interesting than those at night,
will be carried out by the regulars,
the marines, and the various crack
military organizations which will be
brought to Chicago from other states
end Canada.
One of the features of the tourna-
ment, which will be on the after
noon program, will be the performance
of the Fifth infantry of Cleveland.
Manager John r. Young of the tourna-
ment had just received a letter from
Colonel Charles X. Zimerman of the

Efficiency in this course of study
leads to immediate preferment and Sc
lection for special duties in the corps,
and also promotion to the higher
grades of non-commissioned officers.
There are many examples OF promis-
ing young men, who in a single en-
listment in the Signal corps, have
found themselves at the termination
of their enlistment so well equipped
with professional knowledge as to en-
able them to ut once command situa-
tons at higher salaries and standing
in civil life. The technical schools
provided by the government compare
favorably in thoIoughness ard scope
with SIMILAR institutions in civil lie
Military aeronautics is another OF
the important duties of the Si~ial
corps, and In this new art opportunity
is offered for limited number Of
specially selected men to secure train
ing and experience in the handling
of captive balloons, free balloons and
aerOplanes.
Owing to the varied services per
formed by Signal corps, there is a
good opportunity for its members to
visit many parts Of the world. While
the men in the national guard are
not enabled to take these iunkets to
foreign parts, they are given a varied
experience by visiting different parts
of the country and also in the inspec-
ton OF the work of the regular army.

bill returned the solons to patch up
their deplorable work in that respect.
There was no change in the apportion-
ment law except in Milwaukee assembly
and senatorial districts. The status of
Vernon county is not changed from that
given two weeks ago, and for con-
gressionol purposes we are transferred
to northern territory, as we are also in
senatorial companionship.
The legislature was in session 1856

than at any previous term. There has

mulch to conserve moisture and make

and it is well to leave enough directly

Wherever fruit or truck crops are
raised commercially spraying forms
part of the care of the crop just as
much as does tillage, pruning and fer

II rose bushes have been injured by
the frost, the tops should be cut off

Strawberries must not be uncov-
cred too early. The mulch should stay
on late, so as to retard growth and
thus make the bloom come after the
late spring frosts.
Old apple, pear and cherry trees
should have the dead and all small
cross branches that interfere with the
