In the first place under Section
1881 OF the Statutes OF Wisconsin each
town, village and city treasurer must
on or before the second Monday in
February Of each year. pay to the
county treasurer the sum assessed
for state taxes in such town, village
or city, whether collected or not.
In the second place under Section
1121 the county treasurers must pay
the state treasurer the amount of
state taxes charged to their respec-
tive counties in full on o.. before the
third Monday OF February OF each
year.
In the third place, according to
County Treasurer Peters report
page 81 County Board Proceedings
for 191D, Mr.. Peters, on or before
the 18th day of last February, paid
TO the state treasurer state tax
of $45.291.76.
These undeniable facts ought to
be sufficient to settle Mr. Vaughan 5
radically erroneous statement.
But further than this the state
school apportionment, which accord
ing to Treasurer Peters report a
mounted to 27,453.23, paid by the
state treasurer to him, is in no way
an offset to the state tax This sum
comes from interest on loans of trust
school funds as Mr.. Vaughan must
know, and is in no way to be credit
ed to any administration, RepubIi-
can or Democrat. 1t went to the
school districts in the county based
on number of school children.
In conclusion, it is my humble O.
pinion that there is too much juggl-
ing with figures for political purpos-

STATE TAX WOOD
COUNTY NO. 2
Editor Reporter:

Editor Reporter:
Dear sr:-PIease allow me a little
space to briefly answer Mr.. Waugh
ans reply to my letter Of the 18th.
He says that the $45,788.29 called
state Tax" in County Clerk Eber-
hardt's statement Of Apportionment
Of Taxes for 1911. is made up Of
certain items and that the Total
Regular State Tax $38,518.49, no part
Of which is sent to the state at Madi
son fer the reason that S2,347.19 more
is coming to Wood county from the
state than this entire state tax, %
Mr. Vaughan ought not, as lawyer
and a well posted citizen seeking to
enlighten the people, to make such
a statement. It throws discredit on
his whole article with anyone who
knows or should know the facts.

started from defective flue. There
being no fire apparatus in the town,
the structure was soon consumed.
The pastor, Rev. Charles A. Crowley,
was celebrating Mass at Middletown,
Del, when notified of the disaster. He
dismissed the congregation at once
and hurried to the scene, several miles
distant. The church was of brick,
two stories in height. A strong wind
was blowing and the whole building
soon fell in. Some of the vestments

CARDINAL GIBBONS
Expressed Regrets for Not Being Able
to Attend Peace Gathering.

Cardinal Gibbons addressed d letter
to the managers of the peace banquet
recently held in New York to express
his sympathy in the cause OF univcr-
sal peace and to explain why he did
not attend. He said:
The most convincing proof Of my
practical sympathy with the cause
which you so nobly champion is to
be found in the fact that fifteen years
ago, in conjunction with the Cardin-
ais Losue of ireland and Vaughan Of
England. ! pleaded for the establish
ment of permanent tribunal of arbi-
tratjon among the English speaking
races
1t seems singularly appropriate that
you should meet in conference dur
ing this blessed Christmastide. whose
message to the world Is a repetition
of the angels song, GLORY to God in
the highest and on earth peace to men
of good will.'' Men Of good will are
they who strive earnestly for the
restoration of the order originally in
stituted by God-and peace is the
tranquility of order. Men of good
will are they who love God above all
things for His own sake and their
neighbors as themselves for Gods
sake--and peace is the Towering OF
love. Men of good will are they who
both work and pray that Christs
Kingdom may flourish in our midst,
and Christ is the Prince of Peace.

ary appeal. is to be to American peo'
