INCOME TAX YIELDS NOTHING
Is Conclusion of Those Best Posted
on Affairs in Vernon County

The county board of equalization,
consisting of District Attorney Ben
nett, Gus Morterud and Ole r. Gauper,
concluded their work as such official
commission and adjourned in one day.
They had present as assistants in the
work Income Assessor Bergen and
County Clerk Moore. They went care
fully over the 225 statements on file,
made By persons subject to taxation
under the income tax in the county.
The board called no tax payers before
them, and there were none who APP
peared of their own voltion. making
the work of passing upon the correct
ness of statements comparatively easy.
The showing as made is:
Number Of income tax payers in eOunty s25
Total amount income taxable. ........ ,S26isls T5
Total amount OF revenue from above 6.757 0S
Of the above showing rs of the 225
people reside in the city of Viroqua,
their assessible income being 500, l23.-
81 of the S26l.3l6 "a. yielding an in
come of 81, 65S 90, out of the total of
Sc, 767.0 S.
The above does not inelLde a few
corporation taxes.
Now comes the singular and defec-
tive, if not absurd part of the income
farce. Not one cent of income tax will
be collected in Vernon county. when
the personal property tax of those as
sessed on income is deducted from the
tax roll next December, that being the
law. What avail, then, is an income
tax, except to create places for an
official army and pile up expenses upon
the state and communities? The an
noyance and expense to farmers and
others, and inquisitorial feature of the
matter were embarrassing ana unnec-
essary, as shown by the results.
We are advised that the income of
the other two counties, Crawford and
Richland, in this assessment district,
have showing of about one-half the
assessable income that we show.
To the CENSOR, Assessor Bergen ex-
pressed the belief that there had been
a general effort and desire by people of
the district to make substantial and
correct reports

week looking after legal matters in
this village and at Elroy. Mr.. Ham,
mer is making a splendid canvass for
the Office of district attorney. He is a
progressive through and through, and,
as for ability, high character and I'M
fiinching honesty, there is no better
man in Vernon county. He comes of a
pioneer Hillsboro family. whose efforts
TO build up the county and advance its
interests, have been aggressive. persis-
tent and successful John" Ham
mer, as we call him in this locality, is
no boaster. He is man who is safe,
sane and dependable, and the voters of
Vernon county will do well to keep
these things in mind when primary
election day rolls around"

Proper Sport and Came Protection


The Vernon County Sportsmen's club,
whose organization was extensively
mentioned in the CENSOR in May of this
year, has joined the Wisconsin fish ard
game protective and propagation league.
The club, on Saturday last, received
twenty cans of lingering brook trout
fry from the government hatchery. The
fry was put into the various trout
streams near this city. The state fish
hatchery sent members of this club, in
May, ten cans of brook trout fry, which
was properly planted in the streams
If all citizens of the county would use
their influence to give these baby trout
a chance to grow, and TO discourage
unlawful fishing, especially the dyna-
hitting and SEEMING of trout, and catch
ing and retaining trout under six inches
in length, the streams, under this sys-
tematic stocking with fish fry. would
soon be full of trout, making good fish
ing for everyone.
If you are not member Of this club,
YOU are urged to join, but whether you
join or not won't you add your influence
in your community for good practices,
thus Fastening the time tnat we may
all enjoy good trout fishing in season in
this county,

IS FREE FROM BONDED DEBT
Viroqua City Has no Municipal Obi

We believe it may be safely said that
there are few villages or cities in Wis.
consin that are free from bonded in
debtedness for municipal improvements.
That can be repeated of Viroqua, City
Treasurer Belland having cancelled the
last of the street paving bonds give
twenty years ago. The total amount
issued was Sl2. 900 and the last payment
was 81, 900 Viroqua now has no bonded
or floating Indebtedness and aside from
school district indebtedness can show a
clean balance sheet.
