Thats the income tax law is in disre-
pute no one can gainsay. The senti-
ment against it is not due to tax dodg-
ers, or to those who come within it's
provisions, but to the general belief
that it is too expensive and too in
quisitorial. Tt takes no small army of
reasonably high-salaried public SER
wants to enforce it while other tax
laws are enforced by few small sal
aried persons. Ten per cent of its pro-
ceeds will go to new public officials in
the shape Of salaries, twenty per cent
to the counties and seventy per cent
to the taxing district from which it is
collected. In other words, the state
takes the job of collecting local taxes
for ten per cent of the proceeds. The
charge is too high Local treasurers
collect for one per cent up to January
LIST each year. Why, then, should the
state take ten per cent? Is there not
a cheaper, more efficacious, and less
annoying method of collecting income
taxes than that now providedg If not
the tax should be condemned solely on
the ground of the expense of enforcing
it,-Stoughton Courier Hub.

the provisions Of the petitions to hte
town boards are that the roads = ques-
tion shall be improved by the building
of concrete roads to width of four
teen feet. ON South Park avenue the
property owners, the town and the
state viii expend sl6,soo and it is
shoght that this viii build at least two
miles OF permanent concrete road and
extend the road all the way from
Butcher s Corners to the proposed
junction with the Ashland avenue road.
On Ashland avenue starting south from
Selma avenue $4,000 will be spent. On
the road in Somers the property own
ers should secure the expenditure of
practically the same amount. The
trouble viii be to secure the funds for
the state as the amounts raised by the
towns viii be so large that the amount
demanded from the state viii be great
er than the amount that the state has
appropriated to Kenosha county.
The committee in charge of the con-
test is heartily pleased with the out
come and the members feel certain
that it will aid materially in securing
the building of permanent roads in the
county. The whole matter viii now
come before the county board and it
will be necessary for the board to
work out the plans for the road build.

If the city $2o52.4S, which is quite
'ome sum just for walks. Have YOU
sver noticed the number Of walks in
that park and the way they are ar
ranged? The builders certainly never
overlooked a chance to put in a walk
and they run around and across and
every which way. The people of the
city who paid for these walks may adj
nire them immensely for all we know.

should think they would prefer to have
IN this park and which would have
been of more use to the children and
older people of that neighborhood.

Road Leading South from
City Wins Capital Prize
in Road Contest.
CONTRIBUTIONS REACH $1,000
County and State Asked to Provide
for More Than $4,000 to be Spent on
Roads of Pleasant Prairie and Somers
During the Coming Year.

The road contest inaLgurated by the
Kenosha Automobile club some Two
weeks ago concluded last night and as
a result of the work done by property
owners along the roads in Pleasant
Prairie and Somers the club committee
has deposited with the town of Pleas
ant Prairie the sum of $4,000 and with
the town Of Somers the sum of $1,000
which is given as donations for the
building of better highways. With
this contribution to the funds it is ex-
pected that nearly $4,000 will be ex-
pended on the roads of the two towns
next year.
The capital prize in the road contest
went to South Park avenue and con-
crete road will be built from the
Butchers Corners to the point where
this road joins with Ashland avenue at
the west end of the road leading west
from the milk station south of the city
South Park avenue property owners
aided by a gift of 1000 from H. S.
Van Ingen raised total Of ST, 900 and
with this amount in the hands of the
property owners the club increased the
amount in the hands of the property
owners the club increased the amount
to $500 from the funds raised by the
road committee. The Ashland avenue
property owners raised a total of $500
and this was increased to $1,000 out of
the funds of the committee. After the
award of prizes in the contest had been
made members of the committee raised
a thousand dollars which was deposited
with the town treasurer of the town of
Somers to secure the improvement Of
the Lake Shore road leading north
from the st. George cemetery. The
Somers property owners failed to 60
into the contest although fund of
close to 5000 had been raised and it is
possible that this money will be turned
over to the town treasurer today and
thus largely increase the amount to be
expended on the road in that town.

HOPE FOB COUNTY AID LATER
Committee Plans to Put Up Dozen of
the Road Markers Before the End of
the Present Year and Others Will
Follow Next Year.

The Automobile club Of Kenosha is
to put Kenosha county in the first rank
of counties in the state that provide
proper markings TO rthe roads of the
county and to this end the committee
met on Monday evening and completed
arrangements for the installation of
twenty-five sign boards at interesting
roads in different parts of the county.
A dozen of the signs will be put in
within few days and the remainder
will be put in the first part of next
year or as soon as the funds Of the
club will make possible the installa-
ton. The signs are to be of per-
manent nature and it is expected that
they will last for many years. They
are to be set on cedar posts twelve
feet in height. Each post. will carry
two signs one, directing the way to
and from Kenosha, Chicago and Mil
Waukee and other directing the users,
of the road as to the distance and best
route to reach villages and other points
of interest in the various parts of the
county. Kenosha is to be featured on
all signs and the distance from everv
point to the center of Kenosha as well
as the distance from Kenosha to Chi
cage and Milwaukee will be marked.
Of the first batch Of signs to go up
every town except the town Of Brigh-
ton will be taken care of but one sign
will be placed in a majority of the
signs. The roads most used by auto
mobiles will be the first to be marked,
but it is the plan of the committee in
charge to eventually have every cross
road in Kenosha county properly mark.

The barring from the public library
Of certain magazine this month on

attention to the danger to the young
people of the day from the style of
stories which several of the well

their columns. There are several al

tain phases of "life" in way which
is not calculated to encourage pure liv-
ing. Evil is made irresistible, and sin
so powerful as to be able to overcome
The innocent victim. The trouble in
antagonizing these publications is that
advertising their impurities increases
their sales, as many Immediately buy
on the strength of the criticism. Par
ents, however, can and should careful
" look over the magazines they bring
into their homes. They viii find ar
ticles containing word pictures which
should be barred from every decent

SEPT. 2 rs LABOR DAY.
Gov. McGovern Urges Participation il
Exercises Honoring Event

Gov. McGovern on Monday issued a
proclamation designating Monday,
Sept. 2, as Labor day and recommend
ing that all people in the state show
their appreciation of the significance
OF the occasion by attending ard par
ticipating in public exercises in honor
Of the day.
Land, capitol and labor are the
chief factors in the production ~of.
wealth, whereby all human wants are
supplied: and the greatest of these is
labor, = says the governor. " In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, was the stern condition i'm
posed in the beginning; and it still OBJ
tains. Like the soil, the air and the
sunshine, labor is indispensable to the
maintenance of life. Labor's part in
production, labor s claims in distribu-
tion and labor's interest in consump-
ton are therefore vital problems in
every society that seeks Industrial
prosperity, social justice or moral i'm
provement.
Especially is this true now in Wis
consin, where the cause of workingmen
and Workingwomen has received and is
still receiving so much thoughtful and
sympathetic consideration. 1t is there
fore appropriate in every way that the
day set apart by law in recognition of
the dignity Of labor should be fifty eel
ebrated by us this year

MAKES HIS REPORT
Representative of Local Py.
thians Tells of Work at
Supreme Lodge Session
LODGE AGE LIMIT is REDUCED

Joseph Schroeder of Racine, has re-
turned from Denver, Colo, where he
went to attend the twenty-seventh BIZ
ennial session Of the supreme lodge
Knights of Pythias, being one of the
Wisconsin representatives 1t was the
Largest and possibly most important
session ever held by the supreme body
A great deal of business interesting
to Pythians was transacted. Ohio won
the principal glory in securing the
election of it's candidate, Brigadier S.
Young, for supreme chancellor
The supreme lodge by substantial
vote favored the reduction in the age
of candidates for membership in the
order from q to Is years and under
the supreme lodge law this proposition
goes back to the various grand do
mains for approval. Reports showed
that there has been falling off in the
Knights Of Pythias during the past
two years.
The lodge refused to donate a, sum
of money for monument to the mem
ory of the late James A. Carnahan of
Indiana, the founder of the uniform
rank.
Propositions affecting insurance de-
partment of the order were all voted
down. These embraced the divorce
ment of the insurance department
from the order, or the appointment
Of committee to investigate thor,
orghly the whole matter.
Winnipeg was selected as the place
for holding the next convention. The
sum of $4,000 was appropriated for
booming the military department and
$4,000 was appropriated for the pub
Lefty work of the order.
The supreme temple Pythian Sisters
also held their convention in Denver.
and it was reported that there had
been a substantial growth the past
year. Mrs. H. G. Baker of Racine, at
tended the convention.
The entertainment provided by the
Denver Pythians during the convention
was most delightful, one Of the features
being a trip to Coron, the top Of the
earth. -

Kenosha Supply is Being Received
from Racine Plant by Long Pipes.

The sign "Made in Kenosha. y IS no
longer to be tackled on to the gas flow
ing through the mains Of the Kenosha
Gas and Electric Company, as home
made gas has become a history in Ke-
nosha. Following the recent purchase
of the utility companies in Kenosha by
the Milwaukee company it is declared
that all gas now used in Kenosha is
being made at the plant of the Racine
Gas Light Company and sent through
the long pipes to Kenosha. This fact
was much in evidence on Sunday night
when the plant in Racine was struck
by lightning and Kenosha was left
without any supply of gas for more
than an hour. The Kenosha plant will
not be dismantled but will be held as
an emergency plant.
