Before being excused they were

NORTHWESTERN TO BUY RAILS.
Large Business Being Done by New Di-
vision Makes Purchase Necessary.

Marvin Hughitt, chairman of the
Chicago and Northwestern board, says,
that the company will soon be in the
market for steel rails, but that the ex
act tonnage has not yet been fixed. Mr..
Hughitt stated that business in the
northwest is more active, not unsea-
sonably so, however, as this is the
period of the year for holiday trading
and it is only natural that mercantile
movements should assume a healthier
aspect. The Northwestern traffic for
December, thus far, is not particularly
heavy, declared it's chairman, but there
is no reason to assume that it will fall
much below that of last year.
With the application by Chicago and
Northwestern to list on the stock ex-
change 1851 900 additional of its gem
eral mortgage IL per cent. bonds of
1897 the total now applied for amounts
to $31, $4,000. The total issue is $685.
100000, which leaves $133, 1854, 900 still
unissued. The bonds are issued for the
redemption and payment of an equal
amount of existing bonds, which have
been retired and cancelled.

according to Mr.. Hayes have made him
a good offer for the land, and it is
expected that the deal will go through.
to present plans, the pros
pective owners of the land plan to
erect scenic railroad, and thrillers of
all sorts, shoot the chutes into the
lake and huge bathing beach, run
ming nearly the entire length Of the
tract for the use of those who desire
this sort of pastime.
The bathing beach win be roped in,
and will be made safe for those who
are not used to bathing in the lake,
and stays of various kinds win be
provided to prevent swimmers being
washed out into the lake.
The park viii be erected primarily
for the use of Chicagoans who would
gain respite from the hurry and smoke
of the city, in the cool fresh air of the
amusement park. This is practically
the only place along the lake shore
where the land is fitted for an enter
prise of this sort, as for the greater
part of the distance from Chicago to
Milwaukee the bluffs run too close to
the lake for an amusement park.

The farmers Of the county are be-
coming alarmed and with reason at
the spread of hydrophobia among the
sheep and cattle. The situation is
rapidly becoming serious and calls for
the exercise of every possible precau-
tion on the part of those who have any
reason to believe that their Aocks and
herds are affected in order that the
spread of the dread disease may be
checked before it becomes epidemic all
through the county and results in
heavy financial losses not to mention
the worry and mental strain that must
be endured by the people of the county
at the thought of the danger Of being
bitten by some animal with the ra-
bies to which any Of them may be ex-
posed at any time. From all accounts
the disease is in a worse form than it
has ever been before in the county
and conditions are worse than they
have ever before before. Represent
tatives of the state veterinarian have
been called into consultation to sug-
gest the best means of controlling the
situation and the advice given by
them should be followed to the letter.
From all accounts, this is no time for
any one who has reason to believe
that his animals may be affected to
take chances.

TAX WARRANT OUT.
city Treasurer Steinmetz
Begins Collection of the
Biggest Tax Levy.
SPECIAL AsSEss:.S..-.HT LARGE

The annual collection of taxes began
in Kenosha this morning when CITY
Clerk George w. Harrington turned
over to City Treasurer Martin Stein
metz the annual tax warrant and it is
the largest warrant ever delivered to
the treasurer of the city. 1t demands
the collection Of taxes to the amount
of 1921 ,653.12, of which $270,321.30 is
levied as the regular city tax and the
remainder, $21 ,331.82, is levied to meet
the various special assessments against
the property in the city.
The warrant shows that of this large
amount $37 ,996.85 is to be paid as state
taxes, $4,000 as county taxes and 3d.
706 as regular county taxes for the
support of the county and for the var
ious funds connected with the county.
The warrant shows that the amount set
aside for current expenses during the
year is $75624.66, the amount for per-
manent improvements in the city
900. The city will dem end $500 for
the payment of Indebtedness coming
due during the new year and the school
tax is SIS, 260.50. The only new item in
the tax warrant is the levy of the sum
Of $3,140.41 as highway taxes. This
amount will go into the regular county
fund for the Improvement of the roads
of the county. The special assessment
account is unusually large this year due
to the fact that great deal of street
| Improvement has been carried out dur
| ing the year just closing. Of the special
assessments $2S.55 is for the desrruc-
tion Of weeds, $5,663.59 for the build
ing of sewers, $S30.34 for street sprink-

Milwaukee Not the State.

Tt is about time for the people Of
the state Of Wisconsin to enter a Wig
orous protest against Milwaukee
county debating and claiming for
the whole state. While it is natural
for a city the size Of Milwaukee to
receive her share of recognition in
the way Of appointments, both state
and federal, there is no good reason
why the remainder of the state should
be ignored because Of the fact that
that city has an abundance of hungry
Office seekers.
Not satisfied with the recent Sc
lection Of one Of their fellow towns
lnen TO the position Of United States
district attorney movement has
been launched to elevate him to the
federal bench, thus leaving a vacancy
that other hungry ones will seek.
The Sheboygan county bar with a
number of other counties, has signed
the petition Of Judge Belden, of Ra-
cine, a man of sterling character, of
strong legal mind and who, if appoint
ed as the successor Of Judge Quarles,
will bring credit to the federal bench.
We point out Judge Belden because
he is a man fitted for the position,
and whose name has been brought
forward by friends not alone in his
own county but in every circuit in the
state where he is known, or has been
called upon to preside as judge.
He is a man of experience not a
politician worn out or retired from
Office by the votes of people, as has
so frequently been the case. He is
q man in the prime of life, and able
to give full value for every dollar
paid to him as federal judge.
President Taft will make friends
throughout the state by selecting Judge
Belden of Racine. If he will look
back over the history of the appoint
ments in this state it will occur to him
that Milwaukee has had her share of
the plums and the state at large is en-
titled to something as well.-The She
boygan Press.

Some of the property owners are said
to be dissatisfied with the condition of
some of the sewers recently laid but
with the exception of the Collins street
sewer it is too late for them to do
anything but protest so far as the
contractors are concerned. The sew
ers against which complaint is being
made have been passed by the sewer
committee of the council and accepted
by that body and that relieves the con-
tractors of all liability, Whatever
action for relief the property owners
may start would lie against the city
and it would be up to the city to
remedy any defects that the property
owners may prove up against the sew
ers. Whether or not the city could
recover from the contractors in case
the sewers are found defective is an
other matter.

hing, $ll, 724.53 for the paving of streets,
so43.3l for the building and repairing
OF sidewalks and $3425 for snow SHOW
ellngJ. All of these special taxes must
be paid at the same time the regular
real estate and personal taxes are paid.
The warrant also shows the indebted
ness of the city to be $685., 800, of which
1891 800 is bonded indebtedness. The
other 5000 is due for the purchase of
voting machines. This will be paid dur
ing the year. The bonded Indebtedness
includes $4,000 for railway aid, $685.
900 for schools, $4,000 for city hall,
and 100000 for sewers. All of this in
debtedness, save the first item, has
been contracted during the past four
years.
The total valuation of the property of
the city as corrected by the board of
review is shown in the warrant. 1t is
given as $20,793,740, divided as fol
lows: Lands $4,444,110, improvements
$S,489,365, personal property $7,S6O,265.
The warrant also has complete state
ment of the various items of personal
property showing the exact amount as
sessed against the various sorts of per-
sonal property in the city. All of the
taxes must be paid to the treasurer by

will probably be appointed assessor of

There has been some talk to the eff

pointed but assigned to some other
district, but naturally he can do bet
ter work here than anywhere else and
he should be left here. He is familiar

experience gained in the office of
supervisor of assessments will be of

GIVE COUNTIES LARGER SHARE
Racine County Solons Pass a Resolu-
ton Demanding that so Per cent of
the Tax Collected be Left in the
Counties in Which IL is Collected.

Kenosha county has been asked to
join in movement which is to be made
general throughout the state to secure
a better split of the Inheritance taxes
between the counties and the state and
this morning County Clerk Russell H.
Jones received from the county clerk
of Racine county a resolution passed
by the county board of that county and
the county board of Kenosha county is
asked to pass similar resolution at it's
January session.
Kenosha county is greatly interested
in the proposed change in the law as
there are few counties in the state that
contribute as much to the state in in
heritance taxes as this county. Had the
law proposing to give counties one half
of the tax passed year ago the county
of Kenosha would now have treasury
bullying with funds, which would make
it unnecessary to make a county levy
for several years. There is no doubt as
to the stand this county will take on
the resolution as for some time Keno
sha county has been pioneer in de-
handing a REIMBURSEMENT of the division
of these taxes. The full text of the res
olution passed by the board in Racine
county is as follows:
Whereas, The inheritance tax laws
as amended by the legislature of Wis
consin provides for q division of
amounts paid on basis Of IL per
cent. to the county and 90 IL per
cent to the state.
And, Whereas, 1t is recognized as
manifestly unfair for the state to take
a greater proportion Of said tax than
one-half thereof,
Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved, by
the county board Of Racine county
that the legislature be requested to
amend said law so that so per cent of
the sums collected remain in the
county treasury, and so per cent there.
of be forwarded to the state treasurer,
less the expense of collecting the same
Jas now provided.
And Be it Further Resolved, That
a copy of this resolution be sent to
every county clerk in the state of
Wisconsin, so that he may inform
the members of his county board of
the passage of this resolution and
Be it Further Resolved, That copy,
hereof be sent by the county clerk to
every state senator and assemblyman in
the state of Wisconsin, and.
Be it Further Resolved That the
county boards Of the state of Wiscon-
sin be and they are hereby requested
to cooperate to bring about the pur-
poses recommended in this resolution. -
The resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote Supervisor Vance
and Racine county officials generally
believe it is wrong to turn over to the
state practically all of the income tax
collected They cannot see the justice Of
giving up over ninety per cent Of the
inheritance tax collected in Racine so
that the state may distribute it
throughout the counties, some of which
return very little taxes of this charac-
ter. In many instances, the people Of
city through many years of patroniz-
ing a merchant or manufacturer prac-
tically build.up the fortune upon which
the tax is levied and it is argued that
this return should be to the city or the
county for their needs.
