The anti-eounty option people pro-
fess to believe that county option is
dead issue and that little attention
will be paid to it in the selection Of
candidates for the next legislature in
any Of the districts, but perhaps this
is just another case of the wish being
father to the thought. In this they
will be joined by the politicians of all
ranks and grades from the highest to
the lowest for there was more out and
out lodging done on this issue during
the last campaign than on any other
that ever come up in the state. Signs
are not wanting though which indicate
that both sides are keeping very
close watch on all prospective candi-
dates even at this early date so that
any quiet attempt to displace or OPP
pose any of the members of the legis-
lature on either side of this issue who
are seeking reelection will be follow
cd by reprisals and the merry war will
break out all along the line.

made formal announcement of his
candidacy and many of the Democrats
believe that if Alderman Rhode comes
into the contest the former mayor
would net come out as a candidate.
Alderman Rhode has made many
friends in both parties by his course in
the common council. He has shown
that he is working for the interests of
the people regardless of the party anG
this fact, coupled with his enthusiasm
as an official, has brought him out very
prominently among the men who are
looking for men with red blood for the
city officials.
1t seems to be foregone conclusion
that Dan o. Head will be the Repubh-
can candidate for mayor. Mr.. Head has
given the leaders Of the party to I'M
derstand that he VIII be willing to ac-
cept the nomination if he is assured
that his candidacy meets with the sup
port of a united Republican party. A
race between Alderman Rhode and
Former Alderman Head would make
one of the best campaigns ever known
in Kenosha.
In the meantime, the friends of
Mayor Scholey are very active in pro-
noting his candidacy for reelection.
The Seholey petitions are ready to go

Simmons has stated openly that he is
willing to become a member of the
council if the people of the Third ward
believe he is Wen fitted for such a pc.
sition.

Any figures on the probable effect
of the installation of a straight meter
system by the water company ON the
earnings Of the company must be
more or less guess work, but the ex-
perience of other water companies
shows that as a general rule the in
stallation of meters has very little eff
feet one way or another. The local
company has made such wonderful rec
ords, however, that it would surprise
no one to have it upset all the data
on the subject gathered from other
cities. Whether it shows a profit or a
loss the change should be made as
soon as practicable for it will do away
with all the complaints now made
against the service of the company be-
sides cutting down the waste enorm-
ously. There can be no complaints
when every consumer is paying for ex-
actly what water he uses at exactly
the same rate as every other consumer
in his cless. Even should this change
result in decrease in the receipts of
the company the earnings are large
enough to stand the loss.

NOT YET OUT AS CANDIDATE
Alderman Rhode Declares He Is Not
Looking for More Trouble But Would
Answer Call of His Party IF He
Could Aid in Bringing Better Rule.

Younger Democrats of the city and
Democrats who are tired of the old
fight between Mayor Scholey and for
mer Mayor James German are starting
a movement for the nomination of Aid
erman Joseph G. Rhode, of the Second
ward as a Democratic candidate for
mayor and the suggestion of his can
dldacy is being given considerable sup
port among the Democracy of the city.
1t is declared that if Mr.. Rhode is
willing to make the race for the nomin-
.ation that petitions for his nomination
will be taken out at once and circulat~
ed in all the wards of the city. Mr..
Rhode is taking Roosevelt stand in
the matter and while he admits that he
has no great desire to be mayor of the
city at this time he states that if there
is any united desire for him to enter
the ranks of the candidates he would
not refuse to make the race.
Several people have spoken to me
in regard to running for mayor" said
Alderman Rhode this morning, shut
suppose that they have spoken to any
number of other officials in the same
manner. [ have no bee in my bonnet ,
and am not actively promoting myself
as candidate for mayor, but if the
people of the city believe that I could
aid any in securing better government
in the city I should not be adverse to
making the race. However, this is not
an announcement for my candidacy. 1
do not want to force myself into the
race at all and my candidacy would be
entirely dependent upon the people of
the city. If any considerable number of
people in Kenosha believe that [ would
make good candidate for mayor /
would be willing to have my name on
the primary ballot, but my personal
preference would be to remain on the
council as an alderman and have some
other and possibly better man run for
mayor

SEEING THE WORLD.
With Lyman H. Howe--At the Rhode
Next Monday.

10 see with their own eyes the places
Oh history, world wonders and world
wide activities and to have them made
more vivid to their minds is the laud-
able and praiseworthy motive which
prompts 100000 people to travel
with Lyman HI. Howe each season via
his Travel Festival. In recognition of
this true appreciative interest Mr..
Howe will take his audience at the
Rhode next Monday, matinee and
night, for pictorial tour to the homes
LOT gepius, shrines of art and sites of
epoch making history in Rome, Pisa,
Florence and other italian centers.
In Florence, that treasure house of
Italy where art reached it's zenith and
which is one of the most attractive
cities in the world, the Palazzo Vecchio
is visited-a palace which has been
standing in massive grandeur over 600
years. A statue of Dante is depicted
which is SO lifelike that it seems as if
the sculptor had endowed it with life
itself. Trinity Bridge, spanning the
Arno, may be safely described as the
only structure of its kind in the world
because hundreds Of families make
their permanent residence on the sides
of the bridge. Then the historic eds
fee known as the Bargello Palace is
inspected, but still more impressive is
the world renowned cathedral. The
countless specimens of architecture end
the glorious dome which crowns the
edifice are all shown in detail. The
beauty Of the series is enhanced by
magnificent views of the Bay of
Naples. Then the industrial life OF
Italy is represented by the famous
marble uuarries Of Carrara.

APPEALS DURKEE CASE.
Utah Administrator Appeals From De-
cision of Kenosha County Court.

The fight between Wisconsin and
Utah for the administration of the
Charles Durkee estate is only begun
and this morning formal notice was
filed in the county court of an appeal
from the decision of Judge George w.
Taylor in which he held that the
estate must be administered in this
county and named Henry j. Hastings
as administrator de bonis non. The
appeal is fled on behalf of John A.
Kuykendall, who was named as an adj
Illustrator of the estate in Utah years
ago, former Congressman John c.
CLANCY of Sullivan, Ind, and James
Cavanagh Of Kenosha, appearing on be-
half of the Utah man. A bond of
$4,000 was fled with The appeal. The
case viii now go to the circuit court
and it is declared by attorneys in
terested that the contesting heirs are
ready to take the case to the highest
courts of the nation to- secure 2 deci-
sion. With this in view it is prob
able that the real Investigation of the
alleged millions of the former senator
will not be taken up in the United
States court for months and possibly
for years.

WATER REPORT OUT
Report of Plant for the Last
Quarter of 1911 Shows
Large Earnings.
FUND FOR INTAKE is INTACT

The quarterly report Of the board of
water commissioners which has lust
been filed with the city clerk indi-
Gates that the three months ending
with the opening of the new year was
the best period in the history of the
water company and the report shows
that the water company now has on
hand $40, 442.2S.
The profit of the company after
paying all the expenses of maintenance
during the quarter was little over
$4,000. Of course this is one of the
largest quarters Of the year for the
company as during this quarter the
rentals for summer consumption were
collected, The report showed that the
commission had cash on hand to
the amount of $15,442.2S and in addi-
tion to this there is fund set aside
for the building of the new intake
amounting to $4,000. This sum is now
at interest, but subject to the call Of
the commission at any time when the
plans for the putting in of an intake
or the installation of a filter may be
matured. If the receipts Of the COM
pany continue to pile up in the next
/ two years at the same rate as in the
past three months the water commits
sion will be able by that time to sup.
ply all the money needed for the in
stallation Of filter. However, the
rates have been reduced and it is ex-
pected that the amount received from
water rentals will fall off slightly
when the collections for the winter
months are made in May. This falling
off is not expected to amount to more
than a few thousand dollars and it is
possible that the increase in water
sold will make up for the defciene
due to the reduction of the rates to
consumers.
| /, During the spring months many ex-
| tensions will be made and this will
take a portion of the surplus that has
been piled up, but after making liber-
al provision for extensions it is GER
tain that the water company will show
| good profit for the year.

vile, and Mr.. Cleary's work in Grant

Expects Results.
"F'inally, we expect you to get re-
suits. By results we mean taxable in
come-not explanations of why you
can not get it, on the one hand, or
resentment and lawsuits on the other
hand; but taxable income charged
against taxpayers who, if they do not
actually relish the situation, can at
least not object to its equity and fair
ness. The income is out there in the
state, plenty of it. To tax it fairly,
adequately, lawfully, is success; not
| to tax it is failure, however much we
bubble, however much we excuse,
however much we explain.
"We hope when we re-assemDle
next year that you will all be able to
explain your work in an interesting
and graphic way. But the explana-
tions should be how you got it, rot why
you didn't get it. We hope that in
your correspondence with this Office
you will write neat hand and ask
your questions in a logical, pointed
fashion. But you may scrawl worse
than Horace Greeley, and be dumb as
the driven provided you turn
in a fat assessment roll. We hope that
when we come to examine your records
we shall find them clear and systematic
and accurate. We hate slovenliness,
love order and despise disorder But
records are not taxes. Statistics are
only weak limitations of real results.
Do not fiddle around over unnecessary
clerical work. To a large degree you
will have to shift for yourselves, plan
your own campaigns, devise your own
methods. The problem is too different
in different parts of the state to lay
down castiron administrative rules.
This means for you considerable free
dom. But it also means responsibility
responsibility for results, particularly
negative results
