STATE INSPECTOR AS SPEAKER
w. e Larsen Makes Strong Presenta-
tion of Problem of the Small School
in Rural Communities of State--NIrs.
Bradford Speaks III the Afternoon.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


The annual convention of the rural
school boards of Kenosha county was
held today at the auditorium of the
high school and when the convention
was called together this morning by
County Superintendent John j. Ker-
win, every one of the sixty-dv school
districts in the county was represent
ed by one or more of the members of
the board. In addition to the board
members many prominent farmers in
terested in the schools of the county
care to the city to take part in the
discussions.
The speakers for the day included
w. E. Larsen, Of Madison, inspector
CT the rural schools of the state. Mrs.
Mary d. Bradford, president Of the
Wisconsin State Teachers association
and County Superintendent Kerwin.
The entire day was given over to
the discussion of plans for lettering
the schools of the county and many
suggestions were made which will be
acted on. The convention opened with
au address by the county superintend.
ent, in which he outlined the general
conditions Of the schools of the coun-
ty, and made strong plea for the
members of the rural board to give
greater personal attention to the work
of advancing the schools. He spoke in
favor of better schoolhouses and better
teachers and urged that the boards see
the necessity of making the schools
pupils. State Inspector Larsen, at the
morning session, spoke especially of
/ the problems of the small school. He
declared that Of the $500 schools in
Wisconsin 1900 of them had an aver
age attendance of not over IL pupils.
He showed that the rural school dis
tricts were losing, rather than gaining,
in population, and that the big prob
lem today was to solve the question
OIL Combining THESE ScdGGefeu SCHOOLS
under the new law of the state which
provides state aid in furnishing trans
portation for the children. Mr.. Lar
sen declared that there were a lot of
people in the rural districts who had
the nonsensical idea that the educa-
tion of the boy or girl was complete
when he was eleven years of age and
that this as much as loss OF population
was responsible for the small attend
ance at schools. At the sessions of the
convention this afternoon Inspector
Larsen gave a very interesting address
on the work of the county superinten-
dent of schools.
Incidentally, he paid high tribute
to the work done by the official in this
county, and he showed that the work
Of this office should be rated as one
of the most important, if not the most
important, function of the county
Following, Mrs. Bradford spoke to the
board members on the subject Of EN-
ploying teachers and gave them some
helpful hints as to methods to be taken
to ge the best possible teachers for the
rural schools.

UHET ELECTION LAW $4,000 FOR MA NDm GET THEATRE AND HELP MNM ANNUAL SESSION
Claimed Certain Clauses of
the New Law Are Not
Constitutional.


There is talk of having a test ease
brought to challenge the constitution
atty of the portion of the Wisconsin
election laws which forbids candi
dates names appearing in more than
a single column on the official cleo
ton ballot. New York has recently
declared a similar statute in that
state unconstitutional. In its deci-
sion on the subject the New York
court of appeals said:
cit is clear, therefore, that the
otherwise plenary power of the legis-
lature to prescribe the method of CON
Quoting elections can not be so ex-
ercised as to disfranchise constitu-
tionally qualified electors and any
system of election that unnecessarily
prevents the electors from voting for
the candidate of his choice violates
the constitution.
Ever since the adoption of the
present scheme there has been an at
tempt to provide ballot in such form
as to prevent the elector from voting
in the way he wished to vote. In
this constant effort it must be con
ceded that persons DESTROYS of So
called ballot reform and not political
paltisans have been the most active,
though by the present legislation the
latter seem to have been more success
full. All labols by a citizen to induce
fellow citizens to change the principle
OH which they east their votes, when
he believes that principle is injurious
to the welfare of the community, are
praiseworthy and patriotic. But, how
ever gross may be the error of his fell
lows, he has no moral right to correct
that error by making it difficult for
them to exercise their constitutional
rights
The permitting Of candidates
names in more than one column on the
official ballot would greatly aid a fu-
sion of the Republicans and Democrats
in the coming municipal election in
Kenosha. If a case testing the law is
brought the supreme court will very
likely be asked to take original juris
diction in the matter. 1t would likely
do this, too, because of the Importance
of the suit.

KENoSHA TEAM WINS.
Y. M. G. A. Second Team Wins First

Last evening at the Z. M. G. A. the
second team defeated the Wisconsin
Business College team of Racine. This
was the first game of basket ball play

strongest team and won out after a
hard struggle by the score OF 16 to TO-.
The game being the first of this year
and the quality of the team being in
doubt, was not very well attended, but
it is expected that there will be larger
attendance at future games as Keno

Annual Financial Report In
dicates Reduction of the
Taxes for the Year.
INHERITANCE TAX HELPS OUT
Finance Committee of County Board Is
Ready TO Reduce Tax $4,000 and
Other Cuts in the Budget May Fol
low Before the Session Is Ended.

People of Kenosha county will have
a little respite in taxes this year on
account of the splendid balances found
in the county treasury at the end of
the fiscal year ending November. LIST.
The report Of the treasurer shows bal
ances to the amount of over $4,000,
$47750.11 of which is now on deposit
in the two county repositories. Dur
ing the year the receipts for the coun-
tyr have been abnormally large and
under careful management the dis
bursements have been cut to a mini
mum There is vast difference be-
tween the showing made by the city
the county during the year were $780,
6S9.7S. Of this amount there was on
hand at the close Of the last year $27,-
I O14.32, so that it will be seen that the
cash balance this year is more than
5000 in excessof last year. The larg-
est item received during the year was
inheritance tax to the amount of
1888, 554.21, and of this amount the
county treasurer paid over to the state
the sum Of 1928, 330.52, leaving for the
county out of the inheritance tax a
little over $4,000.
During the coming year there will
be other large amounts to be paid to
the county and state in the way of in
heritance taxes from the estate Of late
Charles w. Allen.
With the showing made from the
county tTeasurers Office the finance
committee of the county board has ar
ranged for reduction of the regular
county tax and it will probably be
from $4,000 to $4,000 less than the
past year, when it was $4,000. The
county will have lot Of added ex-
penses this year. The purchase of road
machinery FOR the use OF the county
will be an item Of about $4,000 and the
county will raise over $4,000 to be used
ia the building OF permanent roads,
appropriations must be made for the
memorial for the soldiers and possibly
for the erection of training school
for teachers and tuberculosis SAM
tarium, but even with these appropri-
atoms it is thought that the county
board could provide Tor all the ex-
pcnses of the county without making
any large increase in the tax levy The
finance committee of the council is
watching with a great deal of interest
the action of the board in this matter,
as the committee is hopeful that the
city viii be able to get off with re-
ducod county tax this year.
