A further burden will be placed up
on the already over taxed people of
Wisconsin if the suggestions Of
Special Investigator Herbert R. Sands
are adopted. Sands says that an adj
justment of the salaries Of officials
and employees in the capitol is neces-
sary. he declares that there are too
many low salaries and not enough high
ones. Lack Of Standardization he says
is the cause of the trouble and to
remedy matters he suggests q compre-
hensive investigation by permanent
staff Of the finance committee.
Truly this is clever scheme to
create some more fat jobs for some
body and incidentally necessitate the
securing of larger state revenues.
Wisconsin has investigating boards
and commissions for almost every
thing under the sun. Everytime any
body says anything at the capital that
gives the remotest chance for the APP
pointment of commission or investi-
eating body, one is Immediately nam
ed and its members begin to draw
their salaries from the public funds.
The state is literally over-run with
members of special commissions, (which
propose to tell everybody how to con-
duct their business in order that there
will be more money to spend at Madi-
son. These commissions do not rest
with the telling, however, they make
demands, violations of which mean
punishment under some of the too
numerous laws for which the state is
noted. 1t now appears that the OPP
portunities for more commissions are
dwindling and that in order to keep
up the breakneck pace, which is slow
ly but surely going to spell the ruin
of the Badger state unless halt is
called very soon, higher salaries for
present officers at the capital as well
as all members of commissions, and in
fact anybody else who has a job for
which the state must foot the bills
viii be the rule. How long are the
people going to stand this sort of
thing?
Wisconsin has been declared to be
the most progressive state in the
Union. It is certain that when it
comes to excessive taxation no other
state has anything on the Badger one
In the opinion of the majority of PEG.
Ile Wisconsin appears to have adopt
ed a slogan something like this: ''Tax
Tax, Tax; When There is Nothing
More to Tax, Raise the Taxes; In
Any Event Keep on Taxing If this
condition of affairs, which is steadily
growing more serious, is continued, the
time is not far distant when Wisconsin
will not furnish an example for pro
gressiveness, but will be a shining
mark of what can be done to any
state by oyer-taxation. Fond du Lac

BOARDING HOUSE ROBBED.

Robbery to Police on Memorial Day.

David Sikar, q peddler residing at
707 Grand avenue, appealed to the po-
lice OH Thursday to aid in locating two
men who are alleged to, have rifed
his room. He asserted that money and
checks to the amount of $23.87 had
been taken. Later III the day the po-
lice arrested two men in connection
with the case, but both Of them gave
a satisfactory account of themselves
and they were discharged. Sikar had
left his money laying on dressing
table in the room and it disappeared
some time during the night. Several
other men are being watched by the
police and it is probable that other
arrests will be made before the day is
over.

Rusk COUNTY A WORLD BEATER

Referring to the letter by Mr.. A.
D. Campbell, published in the News
Budget jan. 49,, we must say that
every resident of Rusk county should
be truly grateful that he lives in
county that shows up SO well when
compared with other regions.
While Mr.. Campbelfss report of
! that which the-censs of 910 gives us.
is complete and very creditable to
him, yet there are other crops which
have not been mentioned that are
worthy Of comment. We are credited
with producing more per acre from
our cut-over land than that which is.
being held at as high as $500 per acre
in this and other states. The report
will seem incredible to many out
siders no doubt; particularly if they
should visit us at this season of the
year-and this year in particular
but if the homeseeker should come
omong us at this time and ask any
T
of our farmers. who have been here
during the past few years what he
would take per acre for his farm, he
would say, "Aly friend, my farm is
not for sale, but if it was | would
have to think it over for some time,
before | would accept 500 an@ acre.
We can imagine the homeseeker's sur
prise to learn that land which was
bought but a few years ago for $40
per acre should now be held at such
a price.-~We can also imagine him
turning away with his mind fully
made up that the farmer whom he
just interviewed was troubled with
a brain storm.
But let the homeseeker come back
during the month of July and see our
meadows under the sickle delivering
UP three tons per acre Of the finest
clover at~4-can- be. grown in any
cline. (This is an average crop;
some seasons it is as high as four
and half tons) Also, our acres of
onions, which bring us from $3.50 per
acre to $500 and $500 He will see
our fields of corn that yield from rs
to 1872 bushels per acre. He will sec
our fields of pure-bred potatoes that
commonly yield 900 bushels per acre
| of potatoes that bring from 20 to 80
cents above the market price paid
| for common stock. He will see our
fields of rutabagas that yield from s.
| to 1900 bushels per acre. Those, with
our fields Of sugar beets,, peas, man
giles and other crops too numerous to
mention will no doubt cause him to
think that if the farmer whom he in
terviewed was troubled with, a brain
storm, it was a. very mild case, from
which he was likely to recover.
In conclusion, wish to say to our
farmers of Rusk county that. You
have produced more per acre than
has been done. in thirty three states.
You have beaten the average OF the
United States. Therefore, you have
but to- continue. as. you have, begun,
using pure-bred seed and improving
the same, and it will only be a matter
of a few years until you are a world
beaten, not only for things that grow
in the ground but in dairy herds and
everything intended for the use OF
man, And not only In crops and
stock, but in strong. robust manhood
and womanhood to take our place
when our work here below is done

Frozen Silage Poisons Cattle, Says
Expert

Farmers of Wisconsin are being
age by j. L. Tormey of the College Of
Agriculture Of the University of Wis
consin. The unusually cold weather
this winter has frozen silage in al
most every silo and in some cases
considerable trouble has followed
when this feed has been given to the
stock Sheep usually fall victims to
frozen silage more readily than cattle
One man lost over half a dozen sheep
in one night.
mo bad results occur when the
silage is fed after being thawed, says
Mr.. Tormey. 1T must be remembered
however, that after ! thawing, the
silage will mold readily and so must
be fed almost Immediately. During
cold weather it is wise to keep the
edges of the silage in the silo some
what lower than the center A good
way to thaw out the frozen material
is to cover it with silage that is not
frozen. S. Some cover the silage in the
silo4with blanket Another way to
thaw it is to fill the silage cart and
let it stand in. warm place over
night. Some people hang lighted
lantern in the silo to keep the frost
out ~

Glass Paving Fails.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demie Lune,
suburb about four miles from Lyons,
for making glass paving material.
After many experiments carried out
at the factory, the manufacturer ap-
piled to the Lyons municipality for
the right to make trial on one of the
chief thoroughfares. The necessary
authorization was granted, provided
that the inventor would bear the en-.
tire expense Of the undertaking. The
place chosen for laying the glass
pavement was section of the Place
de la Republique, where traffic of
cabs, automobiles and wagons of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained In place for less than two
years, and were then taken out, as
they were in very poor condition. The
edges were all broken, and in many
cases the blocks were split through
and through. The opinion of officials
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un-
der favorable circumstances for foot
paths, but not for the middle of
streets.

MIGHT HAVE PUT LAST FIRST
Old Lady Wound Up With Excellent
Reason for Not Liking the
DomInle's Sermon.

: Walter d. Moody, meanaging direc-
tor Of the Chicago plan commission,
told the following story at a recent
luncheon of the Chicago real estate
board:
A Scotch clergyman who had made
a particularly brilliant attempt Gas
he thought) In the preparation of a
certain sermon. felt highly elated on
the Sunday on which 1t was delivered.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old
lady who was one of his stanehest
Pensioners. Slipping his arm through
hers he asked:
"Aunty, how did you like my SER
mon today?" Expecting, Of course, to
receive a fine word of approval from
the devout old lady, who was a great
admirer Of the minister, he was cha
grined when she replied: Good do
mimic, l did not like It,
"You did not like it, aunty! Well,
what was the reason?"
There are three reasons"
Three reasons! l declare! / pray
what was the first one?"
II do not like sermons that are
read"
That was not disconcerting, so the
minister pressed the old lady for the
second reason
We'll she said, II did not like the
way you read it,"
Come now, aunty," continued the
minister, that is not so bad What
was the final reason?"
"Well, dinna like to tell you, good
dominic, but l thought 1t wasn't
worth reading"

a scarf that is little out of the ordi-

They are finished with an edging Of
