Vote Road Taxes Soon.


Many special town meetings will
be held soon to determine whether
towns will vote tax for state aid
roads or bridges to be built in 1912.
Procedure in voting these taxes wiz
be the same as in voting taxes at regu
lar town meetings. The question car
be presented in the form of a resolu
ton and can be voted on by acc1ama~
ton or by a division OF the house. Il
a majority Of the meeting SO decide
the question can be voted on by bal.
lot, but this is not necessary.
The minimum tax for improving
piece of road is $500; for improving
a bridge it is $3.50. One or both or
several taxes can be voted provided
the total of all taxes does not exceed
three mills ON the towns valuation,
unless by a three-quarters vote the
limit is raised to five mills. If there
is no county system Of prospective
state highways laid out in the county,
taxes can be voted and the town board
selects the roads or bridges to be
built after a county board selects
system.
If an improvement is voted, the
town board must apply to the county
board through the county clerk on or
before September l for county aid on
the improvement.

Labor Is True Alchemy"

In proclamation in which he up
held the dignity of labor, Governor
McGovern designated September as
Labor day. His proclamation was as
follows:
Labor is the only true alchemy
The laborer alone really transmits
base metals into gold by giving
value to things before found worth.
less. Labor on the farm, in the
mines and in the forest ADDS to the
sum of raw materials adapted to
mans use Labor in the shop, fac
tory and mill fits products thus
wrested from stubborn nature to
practical ends and the satisfaction
of human wants. The laborer, there
FORE is the real creator of wealth.
ITO the end that our people may
unite in showing proper respect for
the dignity of labor and do honor to
him who tolls, I, Francis e. McGov-
ern, governor Of the state Of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby designate Monday,
the 4th of September, 1911, as Labor
day, and I earnestly recommend that
so far as possible, work shall be sus-
pended on this day in order that citi-
zens everywhere may join as labor
ers with organizations of workmen in
making 1t day of recreation, pleas
ure and profitable discussion of social
questions.

crews, but in addition it has virtually developed a
lifesaving service of its own and every revenue
cutter might be designated as a floating lfesav-
ing station. The police of the sea have to afford
protection for the sponge fisheries In the Gulf of
Mexico and the Straits of Florida; they play an
important part in enforcing quarantine regua-
tons when Uncle Sam is putting up the bars"
against some plague-infested country abroad, and
they guard the safety of the public at all great
yacht races and regattas.
Persons who bear in mind the principal events
of the Spanish-American will recall that the
revenue cutters with their officers and men
played an important part in the defense of the
country during that conflict. But this was in
novation. In the preceding wars in which this
nation engaged the revenue cutter service al
ways had hand, and, indeed, there is a standing
arrangement whereby, in the event of war, the
police of the sea cooperate with the navy. It is
a question, after all, however, whether the great
est victories Of the revenue cutter service have
not been won In times Of peace. Take, for ex
ample, the great yellow fever epidemic that In the

SANITARY BOARD
CERTIFICATES VOID
Bancroft Holds Tubercufin Tests
Are Illegal.
MUST PASS EXAMINATION
Decision of Attorney General Is I'm.
portant and of Large interest to
Farmers Who Have Had
Testing Done.

Madison.--Attorney General Ban
croft has held that all certificates is
sued by the state livestock sanitary
board, giving permission to the hold
ers to administer the tuberculin test
to cattle under the law passed in 1909,
are void and the holders thereof not
entitled to administer such test under
the law. 1t Is also held that before
persons, not regularly registered as
veterinarians, may be permitted to adj
minister the tests under the law Of
1911, applicants must pass another
civil service examination.
The situation arose through a mix
up by the legislature of 1909. A law
was passed which contained section
which provided for the holding of
civil service examinations for the pur-
pose Of issuing permits to non-vet-
erinarians to administer the tubecu-
lin test. The law became effective on
June II, 1909. Then another bill was
passed re-enacting the former meas
ure except that portion of it which
provides for the holding of the ex~
aminations and issuing the permits in
question. This law became effective
June %. All examinations were held
and permits issued subsequent to June
%, and as the law under which the
proceedings were had, had been re-
pealed by the enactment of the later
law the permits issued are void
The decision Of the attorney gen
eral is important and Of large interest
to farmers who have had testing done
by these persons to whom the permits
were issued. How many of these GER
tifcates were issued or how many
herds were tested by the holders of
them is not known.
The law passed by the last legisla-
ture authorizes the livestock sanitary
board to hold examinations of persons
other than veterinarians to determine
their competency to administer the
tuberculin test and to issue permits to
such as may be found qualified
Whether or not such examinations
will be held has not yet been deter
mined by the board. State Veterinari-
an Hartwig said that 1t would be the
aim of his department to provide for
the farmers Of the state a safe and
sane system for the administration Of
the test to the herds of the state

The school was established by the
Wisconsin legislature four years ago,
and since that time has been given
two appropriations for maintenance
and Improvement. The purpose of the
school is to train young men to fill
positions In the mining industry that

Preparatory courses in mathematics
are given for those not qualified to
take all Of the work in the regular
course. The school Is equipped with
carpentry shop, machine shop, black

made as thoroughly practical as is
possible, and graduates of the school
have been very successful. New ore

Verronters Pay Big Tax.

Numerous complaints over the raise
in the motor license fee in Wisconsin
from So to S. for automobiles and 81
to 81 for motorcycles came to the at
tention of Secretary of States James
A. Frear, and to inform himself of
conditions in other states he sent for
a copy of their automobile laws. A
little red-cOvered handbook from the
state Of Vermont, received in reply,
furnished sufficient data to put a
kink in the average complaint in Wis
consin. This book revealed that Yer
mont Automobiles must pay one dol
lar per horsepower upon taking out
license. The average car is 40 horse
power, making the owners tax $40. In
addition he must register each year,
paying at the second registration rs
per cent. of the first registration fee,
and at the third registration so per
cent. thereof. This Is not all: Every
chauffeur land this includes the own
er who drives his carr must have a
license, costing two dollars extra, and
must carry chauffeur's number All
this money after costs of administra-
ton have been deducted goes into the
states highway fund, as in Wiscon-
