LOSE BY COUNTERFEIT TICKETS
Company Announces that the S4.OO
Books Will no Longer be Sold
Insisting that the Rates are Too Low
Under this System.


Have the mileage and coupon books
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway company been counterfeited?
Reports were current today that
mileage and coupon books issued by the
company had been xounterfeited in an
Ohio city and that hundreds of them
had been disposed Of in cities through
which the interurban line passes be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee as well
as hundreds having been disposed of
III those two cities. Officers of the
company at the general offices at High
wood today denied that there was any
truth in the report of counterfeiting
but that the company had been COM
PEELED to cut out the coupon books be-
cause of the low rate Of fare between
the two extreme terminals of the line
and although they declared that there
will never be any system which can
fill the old 81 coupon book, the receiver
OF the company was compelled for the
life's sake of the company to abolish
the system.
Patrons on the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric railroad are complaining be-
cause the manufacture and sale Of the
mileage books long in use on the cleo
trio road was stopped by the company.
Anyone formerly was able to purchase
a 100 scent coupon book, which was
good between any two points on the
line, the book selling for $500.
The management Of the railroad
figured out that on short hauls this
book did not afford rates low enough
or at a great enough saving to make
the sale Of them worth while, but in the
long runs, from Evanston to Milwau-
kee, where the use of the milege books
was the heaviest, the ride was obtained
at too low cost to the passenger.
The regular fare from Evanston to
Milwaukee is $1.10, but by the use of
books it was reduced to but IS cents,
and the traffic on this line was compos-

Uncle Sam began business with debt
Of seventy-fve million dollars, resulting
from the revolutionary war and the six
per cent bonds which Hamilton fioated
abroad Melted about ninety-fve cents
on the dollar. Two years later, under
a warcloud the government paid eight
per cent on small loans. Before 1912,
thirty-eight million dollars of the debt
been paid off but the war of that year
increased it to a hundred and twenty
millions, and six per cent bonds sold
as low as sixty-five cents on the dollar.
Before the revolution, British three
per cent bonds sold at ninety. At the
end of the war, the British debt had
risen by five hundred million dollars,
and, when CORVALLIS surrendered, her
three per cent bonds fell to ffty-four
cents on the dollar. Twenty years
later-not far from the time when our
six per cents were down to sixty-fve
threa per cents were selling
at forty-seven cents on the dollar and
when the struggle with Napoleon finally
ended the British debt was up to three
and half billion dollars
The Mexican war increased our pub
lie debt by forty nine million dollars,
but, as it never threatened to be very
serious conflict, all the loans bearing
six per cent interest were tioated at
par or above; by 1860 the public debt
was under sixty-fve million dollars.
Then came a new war and a new debt.
Last month. for the first time since
the Civil war, the government foated
large issue of bonds on a strictly
investment basis. The bonds bore
three per cent interest and sold at a
premium. This fourishing state of
public credit means, first of all, pre-
sumed immunity from war. French
three per cent sell at ninety-four; Ger
man three per cents at eighty-two-
partly, no doubt, because the war risk
in those nations is higher than with
us.-Saturday Post.

Ttate Will Fndeayor to Col
lect All Money Due Under
inheritance Tax Law
SPECIAL OFFICER IS SELECTED

| That thorough enforcement is in
tended of the inheritance law is shown
| by the fact that special officer has
been appointed by this legislature to
watch the records in cases Of wills and
to be sure that the states portion does
not escape, but that the inheritance tax
due from all estates is collected Re
cent large payments received by the
state on Inheritance taxes have been
exceedingly welcome, as the money was
needed. Wisconsin has been proverty
stricken as far as ready money was
concerned FOR nearly year past and it
has taken close figuring, except during
tax payment times, to have sufficient
moneys in the treasury to meet the
large drafts necessary for the appro
priations which have been particularly
large the past few years because of
the building Of The new capitol. The
inheritance tax payments which came
in the past winter were received at
particularly opportune time and were
very welcome.
The duties Of the new Inheritance tax
attorney will be largely to examine
records and to ascertain the amount of
property which is subject to Wiscon-
sin inheritance taxation. This is the
Office to which John Harrington of
Oshkosh has been appointed, and the
work which Mr.. Harrington will do will
require visits by him not only to cities
within the state, but also to cities
without the state, as it has been de-
clded that inheritance taxes can be col
lected on property of persons who live
outside of the state if such properly
is subject to Wisconsin taxation because
of it's location here or the location of
a corporation here in which the dece-
dent had stock. In fact, the very large
inheritance taxes which have been col.
nlected lately have been collected be-
cause the decedents against whose es-
tates the collections were made had
property in Wisconsin or stock in Wis
consin corporations. In the future set
Elements upon inheritance claims must
be made with the approval of the tax
commission as well as the attorney
general, the tax commission being sub
stituted for the state treasurer upon
the board, which is to pass upon in
heritance tax settlements. Suits for
the collection of inheritances by the
state will be under the direction of the
attorney general as heretofore.

A new HIGH SCHOOL
Union District in Western
End of County With Will
mot as the Center
OPPOSITION TO CONTROL

Kenosha county has a new union free
high school district and the officials of
the district elected at a special election
held at Wilmot last Tuesday are now
busy at work planning for the school,
There is no plan on foot for the cree
ton of the new school at this time and
it is probable that for the present the
high school at Wilmot will be used,
but in some future time it is expected
that handsome high school with all
the advantages offered by the high
schools in> the larger cities of the state
will be provided. The question of the
making of the new district has been
discussed in the western towns of the
county for many years and the promo
tiers Of the plan are rejoicing greatly
over the success of the organization.
The officers of the new district are
j. j. Kerwin, director; Geo. Bassett,
treasurer; and John Kerkhoff, clerk.
Of the officers, the director holds for
three years, the treasurer for two years
and the clerk for one year. A new
clerk will be elected at the annual
meeting next March. A humorous as
pect is given to the affair from the
fact that two of the new directors are
from Bassett, which was opposed to
the proposition and who will now be
called on to run the school. However,
it will probably tend to heal up any
sores made by the contest. The board
is composed of capable men, who with
out a doubt will put their shoulders to
the wheel and help the thing along.
The new district comprises the east
| half of Randall, the west half of Salem,
sections 10, II and IL in Wheatland,
sections % and 33 and a part of 80 in
Randall, and sections %, 81 and 81 in
Salem, comprising a little over IS
square miles. The district is COMPARE
lively wealthy with an assessed valua-
tion of about two million dollars. The
friends of the whole section hope that
the move will result in good, it being
in way an Incorporation of what is
in fact aiscattered city with four
wards, one each, centering Trevor, Sill
verlake, Bassett and Wilmot.
Pupils living outside of the new dis
trict will use the school the same as in
the past, the same law regulating the
one district as regulated the other.

SEEK ICE IN KENOSHA.
Agents of Big Chicago Co. Said to be
Seeking to Buy Up Supplies of Cities.

Agents of Big Chicago Co. Said to be
Seeking to Buy Up Supplies of Cities.
Reports from Chicago state that
officers of the big Chicago ice com
panies have sent agents to all of the
smaller cities about Chicago with a
view of buying up the supply of ice
in these cities. Chicago is alleged to
be short of ice and it is said that a
price of 81 per ton is being offered
to the dealers in the smaller cities with
the understanding that the Chicago
companies can take all the ice in the
ice houses. The Kenosha supply is Sc
cured from Twin Lakes and it is not
expected that the Independent company
in Kenosha will dispose of the supply.
1t is possible that the demand for ice
in Chicago may result in the price of
ice being higher during the closing
months of the summer but as vet no
announcement of change IN price has
been made by the local dealers.

Common Council to Raise
OVerS12O,0OO for Schools
TAKE CARE OF OLD OvERDRAFT
Board Asks hut $1,000 for Building
Purposes and Remainder is Needed
for the Running Expenses of the
Schools

The Kencsha board of education at it's
adjourned session on Friday evening
adopted the biggest budget in the his
tory of the schools of the city and the
demand for funds which will be filed
with the common council before the

will be needed for the running expenses
of the school, the only item not usual
ly contained in the budget being
demand for $4,000 to pay an over
draft which has been on the books of
the board for the past eight years.
$4,000 is demanded for the addition
of the Frank school it being held that
the cost of the addition will be this
much more than has been provided for
in the $25 900 bond issue
The finance committee of the board
of education was instructed to meet

Gil with view of talking over the
budget and it possible that the two
committees may work out plan for

duce the budget by $4,000. This
would provide for bonds to take care
of the old overdraft and to take care
of the completion Of the addition to
the Frank school.

the estimated receipts and expenditures
for the schools for the coming year is
