The Importance of building solid

be too strongly advocated when it is
known that in Kenosha county fully
sixty per cent of the expense incurred
for permanent practically indestructi-

The work Of the fire marshals Of the
different states in Investigating every
suspicious fire which occurs within
their jurisdiction is already cutting
down the percentage of losses attrib-
uted by the insurance actuaries to in
cendiarism and in consequence of the
work of the marshals the crime of
arson is becoming one Of the most haz-
ardous crimes to commit in the whole
criminal list instead Of one of the
safest. Successful prosecutions on
charges of arson are much more num-
erous than they used to be and the fire
bugs no longer operate in comparative
safety The losses from fires of in
cendiary origin will always be heavy
until the insurance companies establish
and maintain system of espionage
extending over the whole country
which will keep absolute track Of all
suspects" and give timely warning to
all police and insurance officials of
the entrance of parties suspected of
the crime Of arson into their terri
tories. Something in the nature of the
follow up system now used by the
bonding companies would be most eff
fective. The companies furnishing
surety bonds to individuals spend
thousands of dollars to run down and
bring to trial every defaulter and the
certainty that pursuit will be relent-
less and conducted without any regard
TO expense has undoubtedly had a most
Ealutary effect in that branch of the
Insurance business. Something of the
same kind applied to the fire insurance
business would work wonders in keep
ing down the number of fires and it's
cost could not come anywhere near
equalling the amount of the losses now
attributed to incendiary fires.

bonds WOULD PROVE SAVING
(From Mondays Daily.

Editor Kenosha Evening News:
1t was very gratifying to Lave che
Endorsement Of Mr.. A. r. Hirst, state
highway engineer, who addressed TIE
Kenosha Automobile club on the l2tl
instant on the subject of permanent
road ways and incidentally as well
the Lake Shore Drive project favoring
concrete construction; also of Mr..
John A. Lakewood, chairman Wiscon,
sin Highway Commission, who not only
endorsed the views presented i'll my
letter of 18th instant but added: Il
am strongly in favor Of bonding and
securing funds so that the proposition
can be worked at in accordance with
its Importance.
Granted that Kenosha county should
have the best as well as most econom-
ical road-ways; that we should get a
dollars worth Of roads for each dollar
expended, the question of bond-issue
seems of paramount Importance for
the sake of economy if for no other
reason,
Economy in construction = Unless
the new highway law be greatly modi-
fed, state aid coming from other
sources like the income tax or the in
heritance tax, if such be subsequently
available, each tax must stand on it's
own bottom. The state highway tax in
each county goes up to Madison to be
returned later without interest. The
state, however, furnishes expert ad-
vice and other valuable service. The
state can not issue bonds for roads
without an amendment to the Constitu-
ton. Any county, however, may issue
bonds for improvements up to per
cent of it's assessed valuation; that is,
more than $1,500,000 could be raised
for roads if desired by Kenosha coun-
ty should the people vote for same.
To economic then in the building Of
permanent highways it would be nee
essary for the county to purchase a
complete outft-road engines, rollers,
graders, stone wagons, scarifers, con-
crete mixers, gasoline engines, pumps
and pipes to convey water, canvasses,
tarpaulins, etc. There should be a
store room or warehouse for the equip
ment-with man in charge who could
make cement tile or crooks for drains.
Without going into details one inter
ested in enduring road-ways may see
how essential it is to have systematic
organization and plenty Of available
funds to carry out adopted plans.
Under present laws no more than a
three mill tax may be levied for high
way construction and maintenance. nor
is it necessary or desirable to change
this limit. The county, including this
city, may be taxed to build permanent
country roads, but the city may not
be taxed for maintenance of these
roads. So should Kenosha county (bv

When the farmers realize that solid
pavement may grid Kenosha county
east and west, north and south, at no
more cost for taxes than now obtains,
it would appear that hardly a dissent
ing vote would be cast against a bond
issue equal to the Importance of the
project. The law specifies that per
cent bonds may be issued, non-taxable,
to be offered at home before inviting
outside investors, to buy these securi-
ties.
Governor Hoard once said to a
neighbor, farmer who asked his ad-
vice about loaning some money, ''loan
it to your farm and get double the
amount of simple interest; make your
land more fertile, buying elements
lime, Phosphates, potash-needed for
the sell; thus enhancing its<value and
adding to your income" Ask the gov.

would say: "Buy road Improvement
bonds TO build a pavement around and
past your farm and get per cent in
terest in cash, 10 per cent in increased
value of land, 20 per cent in comfort
and save two thirds in the cost of
hauling farm products to market"

The state golf tournament just end
ed has been one of the most note
worthy sporting events that has ever
taken place in the state of Wisconsin.
More entries were made, more start
ers went the route, and more genuine
craftsmanship prevailed than has ever
been experienced by any other tourna-
ment since the institution was started.
Few persons who are not familiar
with, and who consequently can hardly
appreciate, golf know the wonderful
amount of interest taken in this devel-
Oping game, Some idea may be
CLEANED from the fact that 80 of the
most prominent young, middleaged and
more advanced aged men Of our state
gave the time from their important
business and family affairs to week
of play The game or diversion which
attracts men of this calibre must have
something back of it which grips and
holds. 1t must be something more
than mere diversion, a light, airy
thing that passes away the time pleas
antiy. 1t must have substance; it must
appeal to men accustomed to big
things, to attract and hold their time
interest and attention. 1t must be
something besides frivolous pastime
and those who know golf know mighty
we'll that it answers all the require
ments. That is why men famed in the
forum and in business feel that thew
can afford to give up weeks time
from amid their activities to some
thing which is worthy of them.
Golf has a wonderful hold upon peo.
pie worth while, and the state tourna
ment just ended will likely he the
means of attracting the attention of
many other good men who would do as
the state golfers have Just done, if
rney were once initiated into the mys-
teries and destinations of this truly
wonderful game Milwaukee Senti-
mel.

The counterfeit half dollars which so
many people find themselves stuck
with are about the best things of the
kind that have made their appearance
in Kenosha in long while. They are
good enough to fool anybody but an
expert and the victims will have to get
what consolation they can from that
fact. This bogus coin is an extremely
dangerous one and unless the secret
service people can get their hands on
the makers before long the losses from
it's circulation will mount up to a large
sum.

morning received an open letter issued
by Charles K. Lush urging them to at

August 9Th. The letter is defense Of
the work of the provisional commit
tee which a short time ago announced
the selection Of delegates to represent
Wisconsin at the gathering of the sup
porters of Roosevelt in Chicago. James
Cavanagh was named to represent this
district of the state as delegate. Mr..
Lush is expected to come to Kenosha
later in the week to take up the matter
of representation with some of the To-
cal supporters Of the former president
xand it is expected that his visit will
pave the way for large representa-
ton of Kenosha people at the conven-
ton. The letter is as follows:

ment of the Wisconsin delegation in a
convention that ravished regularity in
a committee, but held it sacred in
