tions and calling upon the voters
generally and the young men especial
ly, to take up the fight WITH yigor for
Wilson and Marshall and the entire
democratic ticket. He closed with a
high tribute to Judge Karel whom
he had known personally for the past
fifteen years. Mr.. Regner introduced
Judge Karel, who Notwithstanding
his condition made the most telling
speech that had been listened in this
campaign up to that time.
Judge Karel had been speaking every
day and every night since the active
campaign had been commenced and
the hard work had begun to tell upon
his voice, but it was not so badly out
of repair but That he could be hear@ in
every part of the hall. In fact he
was enabled to stir his audience to
great enthuslasm-to send home con-
vincing arguments and to clinch
them. No speaker in years was given
a greater ovation than was Judge
Karel and none ever gave a more
satisfactory hour and half talk. After
the other speakers had spoken mostly
upon national issues, the judge con-
fined himself mostly to matters of
state. He showed up the tremendous
state expenses which have increased
enormously under LaFollette and Nc
Govern and which have mounted from
81, 900, 900 to sl3, 100000. He compared
this with other states, showing that
Wisconsin was being taxed out of all
reason to support commissions.
Among other things Judge Karel
said:
II am here TO reply to the false
and blasphemous statements made
about me by Gov. McGovern, in his
speech to you here last evening.
When a man blasphemes, misleads
and misrepreSents another man, as
Gov. McGovern did me, last night, he
ought never 70 oe allowed to go back
into any public Office Gov. McGovern
said last night that / am a reaction
airy, and in league with special inter
ests. Now l want to say emphatical-
ly that when McGoyern says that about
me, he is not speaking the truth and |

me tell you, he is not interested in

The first democratic speech made

Friday evening. 1t was impossible to

HALLOWEEN.

Next Thursday night is Halloween
night, the occasion for Jack-o' Ian
terms and for the naughty pranks of
boys and girls, and even for some of
the older persons to commit deprea-
tions beyond ali reason, thinking they
have unbridled license to do so. Fun
is fun and is all right and permissible
in some instances, but the destruc-
tion of property is carrying the thing
too farand is objectionable in this day
and age. The police will be out that
night to try and prevent these des-
poilers of property and if caught in
the act are to be landed where they
belong-in the city cooler. Innocent
amusement harms no one. And now
to the boys and girls, go in for good
time, "but, for the love of Mike"
don't 90 to extremes.

efficient and effective, had it done it's
duty as it ought to have done it,
there would have been no such dis
crepency as was shown by the figures
given by Govern McGovern.
A good law may be badly admin
istered without being any reflection
upon the law, and that is especially
true in this case. No matter how
good a law is if not properly enforced
and lived up to, in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred it becomes dead
letter. In this case the state tax
commission which is commission
appointed by the governor, is respon-
sible and the blame should rest upon
it.
! understand he also stated that
the people of the state had been call
ing for an income tax law unanimous
ly for years, but you know that this
is not true. Up to the present cam
paign l apprehend there are not five
persons listening to me who ever
considered this subject or thought
anything about it. Probably there
are not ten persons in hundred who
took enough interest in it to read
over the proposed constitutional
amendment which was adopted in
1908 and you know that the vote of
this state in favor of the amendment
was only 85,696 out of total vote of
454, 439 cast at the election in 1908.
The income tax law is founded upon
theory, pure and simple, and can be
defended and justified purely upon a
theory basis, but without any facts
to hold it up in this country.
1t looks good, but / want to tell
you that its workings are and must
be bad. as l have demonstrated to
you from the figures already given"
The speaker closed by advocating
the election of the democratic national,
state, legislative and county tickets,
taking the opportunity of saying
some very nice things about A. j.
PIowman, candidate for congress;
Oscar Ringle, and Robert Plisch,
candidates for the assembly.
At the close Judge Karel was given
reception which lasted for half an
hour, meeting many of our citizens.
He was billed to speak in several
places in the county on Saturday but
was called back to Milwaukee to be
present at the Bryan meetings. f.
p. Regner and others filled his en-
gagements in this county and at
Merrill in the evening. Judge Karel's
reception here shows plainly that he
has the voters with him. His ability
as a campaigner and his splendid fight
against the obnoxious income tax law
will win the fight for him in Wiscon-
sin.

DESERT ARBOR VITAE.
Once Hustling Mill Town Will Soon

When the Yawkey-Bissell saw mill
at Arbor Vitae ceases final operation
within day or two every stick of
available timber in that vicinity will
lie manufactured into lumber. This
week the mill is saving boom sticks,
piling, etc. When this cut is fin
ished the plant will be closed for all
time and preparations for its removal
from the village will be made.
Months ago families began to leave
Arbor Vitae and today the once busy
little lumber town is almost a desert
ed hole in the brush.
With the removal of all the inter-
ests of the Yawkey-Bissell company
away from the village the name, Ar
Dor Vitae, will soon become nothing
but memory. Thus one by one do
the northern lumber towns drop out
of existence. The musical hum of

on viii be more fully demonstrated
VIXEN we are able 20 get all of the
| figures.
Yesterday the daily papers con-
tanned the figures with regard to the
taxable property in the state as just
made by the tax commission at Madi-
son. These figures show total de-
crease in the assessed value of the
state, owing to the withdrawal of
property under the income tax law OF
800, 1872, 436. This withdrawal of near
ly S100,000,000. must just as sure as
two and two make four result in a
raise of the rate per cent. of tax upon
real estate throughout the whole
state, and you can't etaway from it.
Government whether Of the state or
city requires just about so much each
year for purposes of general disburse-
ment. Your city requires just about
so much each year with which to
run it's affairs, and if you can't get a
fair share of it from personal property
you have got to increase the rate on
real estate and pay her tax on
your little homes and your farms.
Last year the total assessment of
real and personal property in this
county as fixed by the Board of Re-
view of your county was S24, ,39l. .49l.
But / notice from the figures as
published yesterday from the office of
the state tax commission this COM
mission has more than doubled the
the assessment value of this county,
making its valuation of real and per-
sonal property $50,414, ,493 as against
s24, ,391, ,491 fixed by your various as
SCISSORS, but those figures simply illus
trate how this taxation matter is be-
ing worked out at Madison, purely
and solely for the purpose of justify
ing and defending this income tax
law.
| understand that Governor Nc
Govern in his speech last night urged
that not one laboring man in one
thousand would pay an income tax,
and that only three farmers in Mara
thon county would pay an income
tax. ! ask what of it? Suppose the
laboring man does not pay an income
tax, and suppose l. be true there are
only three farmers in the county who
pay any income tax, the fact is that
those same laboring men and the
farmers throughout the county will
have TO pay, necessarily and beyond
question, higher tax on their little
homes and their farms by reason. of
the withdrawal of personal property
on account of this income tax law.
| understand also that in his speech
last evening Governor McGoyern
quoted many figures to show how un-
equal personal property had been as
sessed throughout the state and used
tslat as an argument against personal
property assessment.
1t did not seem to impress him at
the time, and probably never has,
thrt these figures did not show that
the personal property method of taxa
tion was bad method, but simply
showed that it was badly administered
Let me tell you in this connection
that there is no excuse under the sun
for its bad administration because OF
the fact that the tax commission.

missions of this state, has sole juris-

LEAHY & BEEBE BRIDGE.

The Leahy & Beebe bridge has

for all kinds of travel. The bridge is
more of substantial one than be-
fore and apparently is able to with
stand coming floods, but probably not
in the nature of such a flood as the
torrent of July 23d. The work of
construction seems to have been done
on honor and reflects much credit up
on those having it in charge. The
rebuilding of this bridge in the north
end of the city is of great convenience
to the resident portion of the city,
