Steady development can be accompnsn- ed by encouraging desirable immigra- tion, inviting investment of capital and securing fair reward Tor labor.

 Tariff for Revenue Only.

The use of the taxing power to promote the prosperity of favored few conflicts with fundamental democratic ideas. Democrats dispute the right of the federal government to tax for protective purposes. The Demo- cratic tariff bills advanced by the present congress revising the tariff schedules relating to wool. cotton su gar, steel and chemicals all recognize these principles, and contemplate sub stantial reduction in .--e rates to be col lected.

The amount that Wisconsin is spend
ing in road building may appear sms Il
in comparison with the vast sums that
some of the eastern states are invest
ing in roads, but they show up pretty
well when it is remembered that the
people of this state are just taking up
the great problem of road improve
ment. The coming summer wiIl%b the
crucial period of the good roads move
ment in this state and if the people
are satisfied with the way the appro-
priations already made for highway
building are expended all of the money
needed to put Wisconsin in the very
front rank of good roads states will
be Forthcoming as rapidly as it can
be wisely spent.

1t is a good sign that many of the
people Of the country are taking in
terest in the plans for the new roads
to be built under the direction of the
state engineers and in the kind Of ma
terial to be used in the building.
This "show me" attitude is bound to
be productive of good results and the
more people of the county that adopt
it the better it will be in the long
run for the good roads movement We
take it for granted that the state en-
gineers. are willing and able to defend
their plans for every road to be built
and the choice of the material to be
used, but the more people who investi-
gate the better understanding there
will be all around. Every one who is
interested in the Improvement Of the
the county highways realizes the i'm
portance of the work to be done this
summer and the necessity of having
every one satisfied with the work and
convinced that the best roads that
could be constructed for the money
have been built,

THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1912.

With its large percentage of young
men drawn here by employment in the
great industries Of the city, Kenosha
looks to be a fertile field for the re-
cruiting officers Of the United States
army and the advisability Of opening
a branch recruiting Office here is now
under consideration. The army may
get some men from this city particu-
larly if the Mexican war scare de-
velops, but it is certain that no young
men who could pass the mental and
physician examinations for the army
will have to join for lack of job.
The kind Of men that the army would
take are the kind the big industries
are looking for.

NO INCREASE UNTIL 1915
New Law is Made Applicable to AL
Fraternal Organizations in Illinois,
But Is Aimed Particularly at Wood
men-Local Men See Long Litigation.

Kenosha members of the Modern
WooGn1el OF America may not be fore
ed to pay the new rates of the or
ganlzation made by the Chicago ses-
sion Of the head camp until after 1915
as the state legislature of Illinois on
Wednesday passed bill which pre-
vents any change in the rates being
charged by the order until after ses-
sion of the head camp to be held in
1915. The Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca is a corporation organized under
the laws of the state of Illinois and
on this account the state has the right
to pass laws regulating the manage
ment of the order. On Wednesday the
bill was passed by the lower house of
the legislature practically without di-
vision and it is declared that it will
be passed by the senate. Head officials
OF the order anticipating the passage
Iof the bill have already started plans
to carry the fight into the courts hold
ing that the Legislature has no right
to interfere with the workings OF the
order and asserting that the law as
passed is clearly class legislation.
In any event the passage Of the
bill is certain to result in long
litigation which will tie up the af-
fairs of the order for many months
and it is pretty certain that the
new rates will not be put in

able to earn on the investment and
that the income tax system is the only
fair system that could be adopted.
Mr. Haugen does not believe that a
company engaging in business in the
|spring should have its property taxed
until there were earnings and that
the stock should not be assessed at
full value.
Law Not Perfect.
Mr. Haugen admitted that the in
come tax law of the state is not a per-
fleet one, but believed it is a step
toward a better method of taxation
and did not want the system aban-
doned, but urged his hearers to look
for defects in the law and have
amendments added to it. But he de-
sired that the test cover a period of
a few years at least. He declared that
the law is local one and not a state
law as 70 per cent of the tax goes to
the locality, 20 per cent to the county
land 10 per cent to the state. The
state pays the salaries of assessors of
tax incomes, estimated to cost $4,000,
which is $4,000 less than was paid
the supervisors Of assessors in the II
counties of the state. The present
law, according to Mr.. Haugen, will
not permit the burden OF taxation to
rest on. one and not another, as the
tax will be on the net income and ex-
emptions have been placed at a suf-.
ficient figure to permit of expenses for
the wage Garner and family. The
rental value Of residence, feature
of the law which has caused much
discussion, was used in order to
equalize, as the trainers of the law
recognized the needs of the less for
tunate members Of society.
Assessors are Blamed.
Mr.. Haugen declared that assessors
had failed entirely to assess personal
property as the law permitted and had
worked in a ship-shod way. He said
that two years ago Racine county re-
ported but $4,000 in monies and
credits while Kenosha county reported
over three times as much as Racine
county. Six counties Of the state, in
Gliding Douglas county in which
Superior, the second city in the state
is located, failed to report monies and
credits for years Douglas county had
at one time reported $25 in monies
and credits, but the owner of that
amount had either died or moved
away. The system had permitted the
large owner of personal property to
escape taxation and as the personal
property tax law had been found a
failure, because Of large discrimina-
tions, change was necessary.

SAY PROPERTY is DAMAGED
Chairman Herzog Declares Town Will
Use Every Effort Possible to Prevent
City Building Proposed Institution.
Suggests Other Sites.

The town of Somers has started a
fight against the proposed action of
the Kenosha city council in locating
an isolation hospital on the property
now owned by the city n that town
and Chairman John Herzog Of the
Somers town board, declares that the
town is ready to fight if possible to
prevent the location of the proposed
hospital. A petition is being circulat-
ed against the hospital and it has been
signed by all the members of the town
board and every farmer owning prop
erty in the neighborhood Of the city
farm.
These men are protesting and their
complaint is that the location of an
isolation hospital ON the land will re-
suit in land values about the poor farm
being reduced and that the coming Of
the hospital will be positive damage
to them. Town Chairman Herzog has
taken the matter up with Mayor Dan
20. Head and the petition against the
hospital will be sent to the common
council. 1t is declared that it has
been signed by people living a. full
mile from the city property.
The plans for the isolation hospital
are not as yet ready, but it is thought
probable that they will be ready by
the next meeting Of the council. The
council some time ago made an appro
priation Of $4,000 for the building of
the hospital and it is thought that the
plan will be carried out regardless of
the protests of the people of Somers.
1t is the plan of the city to locate
the hospital in the center of the farm
of forty acres and it is not apparent
just how this should be Objectionable
to the property owners in the neigh
borhood. While it is planned to use
the hospital for isolation purposes if
it becomes necessary it is thought GER
tain that for the most part it will be
used for the treatment Of patients in
the advanced stages of consumption.
1t is the plan of the board of health
and the city council to have the new
hospital built with all possible speed.
There is a demand for such an insti-
tuition at the present time. Ever
since the movement for the hospital
was started there have been objections
to the location of it and it is certain
that regardless of the place selected
by the city there will be objections
from surrounding property owners. In
Cities these hospitals are located in
populous neighborhoods and no serious
trouble results from them.
Members of the council are Of the
opinion that the forty acres owned by
the city offers an ideal place for the
legation of the hospital and while it
may be necessary for the city to do a
little fighting in court to sustain the
position of the council in regard to
placing the hospital on the poor farm
it is thought that the institution will
ultimately be built there.

to effect at the time stated in the or
der issued following the adoption of
the rates at the head camp meeting
In Chicago.
The bill provides that no new rates
may be put into effect until af the
regular head camp session which is to
be held in june of 1915 and that be-
fore the rates are changed the mat
ter must be submitted to referendum
vote of al the members of the order.
The head officials ten years ago pre-
scented the same question for a refer
endum vote and the proposed rates Of
fered at that time which were only
slightly in advance of the rates which
had prevailed were not adopted.
The action of the Illinois Legislature
is regarded as distinct victory for
the insurgents in the order. The
bill was draw nv G. T. Hydeeker of
Wduhegduy WnO Is wen hHoHu 10 many
Woodmen in Kenosha.
The bin is not made effective only
to the Woodmen, but affects all fra
ternal organizations organized under
the Illinois laws and it provides that
none of these organizations may raise
their rates until after the first of June
of 1915. The Royal Neighbors of
America, an organization among the
women affiliated with the Woodmen, is
also an Illinois organization and the
action Of the Illinois solons in passing
the bin will affect the proposed raise
in rates of this organization.
Steps taken by the head camp to
circumvent this legislation will be
watched with interest by the FIVE
hundred members of the order in
Kenosha.

From present indications the hear
ing held by the state railroad COM
mission at Berryville on Saturday in
regard to additional switching facili-
ties will not be the last hearing to be
held in the county this summer, es-
pecially if the commission rules
against The railway, and the commits
sion may have to devote considerable
of its time to Strengthening out the
troubles of Kenosha people with it's
transportation lines. The beet sugar
growers of Somers declare that they
suffered heavy losses last fall on ac-
count Of the inability of the st. Paul
to handle their products promptly and
they are demanding additional switch
tracks and other Improvements at
their station; the petition Of practical
ly all of the people of the county
towns for better train service on the
western division of the Northwestern
has been presented to the officials Of
that road and if it is turned down this
matter will go to the commission, for
the people are in dead earnest in their
demands for better means of communi-
cation between the city and the west
ern part of the county; and last but
by no means least, the fight over
granting the interurban cars the right
to come into the down town district
may simmer down to the point where
an agreement may be reached to
leave the number of stops the cars
must make on Milwaukee avenue to
the commission. In addition to trans
portation matters the telephone case
may be presented to the commission
as a last resort. All Of the demands
OF kenosha county people may not be
granted, but the commission was
created to protect the people from
just such arbitrary refusals to furnish
proper service as have been made by
the railroads in the past and if it full
fills tits duty some relief VIII Be
secured,
