Are After Them.

Chief Inspector of Weights and
Measures Downing of Madison, with
City Sealer of Weights and Measures
Gnatzlg, have been investigating
weights, and measures in the city dur
ing the week and found many that were
inaccurate and had to be condemned
Many ways of deceiving customers
were discovered and the parties in
volved given a gentle hint to play
fair or they might get into trouble
and be required to pay a fine for vio-
latlng the law relative to weights and
measures used is the sale of anything.
Mr.. Gnatzig intends to enforce the
law to the letter and on his second
visit to any place of business he finds
evidence of dishonest weights and
measures the parties guilty will be
haled into court to answer to a viola
tiOn of the law. He has an office in
the city hall and later will announce
his office hours so that peddlers can
bring their measures to him to be
sealed. Any one using a measure not
tested is violating the state law.
When new scales or measures are pur-
chased the sealer should be notified
lat once. In order that people shall be
familiar with the duties of the new
office a list of his duties is given
below:
To test and seal or condemn all
weights and scales and measures used
in buying and selling
To weigh packages put up for de-
livery to see if weight on bill and
actual weight agree
To answer all complaints relative
to shcrt weight or measure from citi-
zens of the city.
To prosecute all violators of the law
To instruct citizens as to the pro
visions Of the law.
To keep a record Of all work done
and make sworn report to the state
superintendent of weights and meas
ures and to the mayor

Only One Change.

On the 1st inst. Gustav Buchheit
entered upon the discharge of the
duties as city attorney, to which Office
he was elected at the last municipal
elecion, succeeding c. A. Kading, who
had held the Office fer several terms
and made a good record as valuable
official for the city and faithful to the
public interests. Mr. Buchheit has
held the Office and is familiar with its
duties and will as before make a good
record. The other elective and ap
pointed officers succeeded themselvs,
hence there is no change, and they
will continue to discharge the duties
of their respective offices as well in
the future as in the past.

If you pay up one-half Of your taxes before the first Mon
day in January, you can get six months extension on the 9th
er one half The county usually collects in January all the
money to run it for a whole year; it might better be paid in
installmentS, and let the tax payer get the benefit OF the in
ter for one-half of it at 10 or II per cent, instead of paying
all in January and letting the county loan it to the banks at
all the way from nothing to 4 per cent. 1t wasn't SO very
long ago that county officers could loan this money as a per-
sonal asset, almost without attempt at disguise.
1t would perhaps surprise some people to know thatin this
one law the special legislative session last winter will save the
taxpayers Of the state many times its cost every year. The
state raises each year about So, coo, GOO in taxes. Topayt the
second half of this in July, leaves SO, 600, 600 with the people
for six months. AT 10 per cent, this would bring $50, 900
interest. If paid in January. the excess tax money is loaned
to banks at an average rate of probably not over two per cent
when the delays are counted IN. This would pay possibly
Ss3G, coo to $S40, 09G III interest back to the state or counties.
But as most men are borrowers, they have to get the money
from the bank to pay these taxes or to live on. and they pay
10 or II per cent--on their own money! Whatever else the
special session did or did not do, its work on this one item is
a clear gain to the taxpayers of close to 500, COO a year over
the cost of the session. 1t is common sense III government.

without t. 1t is the states privilege and duty to furnish the
advice and instruction to make them prosperous at the ear

selves. They need to learn dairying. fruit-growing, stock
raising, home industries such as gardening and fruit canning;
the best varieties, the best culture. and most important OF all,
Where and How to reach the market with their products!
