OPENS NEW STORE.
j. M. Collins Removes Sewing Machine
Store to 263 Market Square.

J. NJ. Collins, well known to the
sewing machine business who for some
time has occupied IA part Of the Hol-
brook Jewelry store, has branched out
and opened a new store at 263 Market
Square. Mr.. Collins is pioneer to
the sewing machine business having

war. His standard lines include the
Domestic, Goodrich, Standard and

profession. AS a matter of fact the
amount a teacher would forfeit in a
few years, although considerable,
would not be enough to induce her to
remain if she were efficient and could
succeed in the other work. Conse-
quently it will tend to leave the less
efficient and the improvident teacher
in the profession.
Women Largest Contributors.
On the other hand the most of this
money is going to be paid into the
fund by the women teachers, the ones
as rule who receive the lowest sal
airy. Most of them teach for a few
years and then change to some other
line of work, or become married. If
this fund should tend to keep them in
the profession it would be alti-social.
Permit me to quote from a letter from
"a county superintendent of this state.
There may be many who have devot-
ed their lives to an underpaid profess
sion who would be benefited by this
law. But I should think there should
be some source of help for them other
than taking the money from the poor
ly paid teachers themselves. I have
not joined the fund. have been, able
to find plenty Of other charitable uses
for my money
Now the question arises, is the pro-
position safe one? In answer quote
from the law. Section 14-2. The
board of trustees may reduce the
annuities provided in this act when
ever, in the judgment of this board,
the condition of the fund shall require
such reduction This, of course, does
not mean that it is unsafe, but its
security rests with the board. The
trainers must have foreseen a posi-
bility of its being insecure. Evider g.
ly the law compels the teacher to pay
hard-earned money into an uncertain
proposition.
Now, why was this law passed? It
was proposed by committee of teach
ers who were ready to receive the
benefits of it, and hence framed in
favor of that class. It was probably
passed by the legislature because they
heard no objections to it. Why did
they hear no objections to it? Because
it was kept as quiet as possible during
its formative period. 1t was not air
ed, as most laws are, before the class
it was to affect. Nothing was said
of it in the normal schools until after
its passage and publication.
In conclusion, why has this law, APP
parently, been so popular until recent
ly9 Why have conventions gone on
record in its favor? Simply because
its victims" if you please, have
been the younger and less influential
teachers, who have had no desire to
make their presence felt even though
they had objections. In view of the
fact that the obligatory clause of this
law is SO generally disliked by the
members of the fund, there must be
others who have criticisms to offer.
Let US hear from you"

HAS BIG INCREASE
Insurance Commission Re-
port Shows More Policies
Are Being Written.
STATE TAXES ARE INCREASING


If the receipts of the Wisconsin in
surance department are a barometer
Of the increased use of all kinds of
insurance in the state, tremendous ad-
vances in the insurance business have
been made in the past ten years. Co
incident with the large gains made in
receipts comes the fact
that the tax of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of Mil
waukee has practically doubled in the
same period.
In 1902 the receipts of the depart
ment were $468, 177.29. In 1906, they
jumped to $62O,43S6S. For the fiscal
year 1912, about to close, the receipts
will aggregate $927,126.36. Of this
amount, however, $4,000 should be
deducted, as it represents fire depart
ment tax heretofore collected locally.
For the ten years referred to, the total
collections of departmental receipts
aggregated $7166, 1853.
There has been a steady increase in
the taxes of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company during the
decade. At each session Of the legis-
lature bills have been introduced to re-
lieve the home company of the large
percentage of tax imposed, but have
always met with defeat. In 1902 this
company paid tax of $253, 171.01,
which has increased to 1881, 9f4.93 in
1906, and for the past year the taxes
amounted to 1882, 1923. It is inter
esting TO note that over one-half OF
the revenues Of the insurance depart
ment are furnished by the Northwest
ern Mutual, it's aggregate of. taxes for
the decade amounting to $3,926,21117,
as compared with $7,166, Az, 33-the
entire receipts of the department for
the period.

MUST HAVE HUBBY WITH THEM
Two Arrests Are Made Of Unattached
Women Found Drinking in Saloons
of the City Friday Night and Police
Promise Further Arrests.

The police of the city do not seem
to be believers in the rights of woman
along one line and this line is the
right of an unattached woman to guz-
zle beer in a saloon. Chief O'Hare
announced this morning that the prac-
tice Of women drinking in saloons was
going to be more closely scrutinized
in the future and that women who de-
sired to go to saloons for drinks must
be accompanied by their husbands.
This is regarded as little revolution
airy and it is expected that the police
will use some discretion in the en-
forcemeEt of the rule, but one thing
is certain and that is the indiscrimi-
nate drinking of women and young
girls in saloons is to be stopped.
The eorder went into effect on Fri
day and the chief himself made two
arrests Friday night. The two women
to be arrested gave their names as
Helen Flint and Mrs. A. S. O'Neil and
both claimed to be from Racine. They
went into saloon on Main street
without an escort and when the chief
found them there just after eight
o'clock they were promptly arrested.
They were held inAa charge of dis
turbance and will be sent out of town
during the day.
ssWe are going to throw few
more safeguards about the women of
the city, said the chief this morning.
II have no desire to interfere with
any woman who seeks to have glass
of beer or two glasses, but we are go
ing to have them drink under the right
conditions. Women who go to sa-
looms with their husbands will of
course not be molested but others are
taking chances. We have had com
plants against some husbands drink
ing with women not their wives and
in the cases where the complaints have
been made we are looking for the hus-
bands. It is just possible that we can
not arrest man for buying drinks for
woman not his wife, but we can
probably make it little inconveient
for him to appear in public places
with the woman. Ehe law in regard
to the selling of liquor to minors ap-
plies to girls just the same as it does
to boys and while the wine rooms have
been cleaned out all over the city
there are still a few men who persist
in taking young girls into saloons.
You can say now that no women will
be allowed in saloons without escorts
and the escorts will be pretty thor
oughly scrutinized. For some time we
have had bother with women of loose
characters coming into Kenosha from
other cities and making some certain
saloon chang out. This is not GO
ing to be permitted in the future and
we are determined to drive these WON
en- out Of Kenosbao to stay"
It is probable that the order of the
police will have a saving effect on
the young girls of the city and it is
pretty certain that the order will have
the support Of not only the people who
are interested in preventing the young
women from drinking in saloons, but
also by large number Of the saloon
men themselves who regard these pat
rons as a nuisance in the business.

The police have started new cru.

sidewalks of the city as bicycle tracks
and on Friday night three men were
arrested on charges Of riding on the
walks. The men left three perfectly
good "'bikes at the police Office to
secure their attendance in court late
this afternoon at which time they will
be fined under the city ordinance.
The police have received special notice
that the law against the use of the
walks by the wheelmen must be more
strictly obeyed.

Shows Actual Loss.

What does all this mean It means
that if you are getting $500 per year
you are paying So toward the fund.
IF you withdraw at the end Of ten
years you will have paid in $50 which,
| if placed in bank at 8 per cent, SIM
pie interest, would be worth $5S. You
can draw $25, a loss Of $33, or $3.50
year. If you withdraw at the end
of fifteen years you will have paid in
800, which would De worth about
$3.50 in a bank, while you can draw
only $50. The larger your salary, and
the nearer you approach the twenty
FIVE year mark without obtaining 1t,
the greater your losss I will admit
that if person is sure he shall re-
main il the profession for twenty five
years regardless of sickness, death or
other human failing, and then retire
and live for FIVE or more years, for no
provision is made for transmitting the
benefits, that it would be difficult to
make a better investment provided
the annuity was secure. But how
many teachers of the state do actually
teach that long? There is probably
no profession in which there are so
many changes as in the teaching pro-
fession. It is safe to assume that only
a very small percentage of teachers
remain in the service for twenty five
wears and that Of those who do, the
majority receive such salaries that
they would not need the annuity. Evil

twenty-five years must supply an

Is this justice? It would be impossi-
bic to maintain fund great enough
if it was not for the money forfeited
because of withdrawal before the re
auired time. It has not, a businesslike
basis as has an insurance company.
Its tendency might be to make the
teacher improyident. The teacher en-
ployed to instill business principles is
not expected to be businesslike her
self, under such system. In that
respect the law will defeat its own
purpose. Its purpose undoubtedly was
to induce teachers to remain in the

FAVORABLE TO OLD TEACHERS
Teacher from Northern City Points Out
Portions of Law Which are Not
Liked by Younger Teachers-M Many
Now Getting Registered Under Law.

Believing that the law creating the
Wisconsin teacher S insurance and re-
| tirement fund was passed to benefit
only the older ones in that profession,
William G. Hansen, instructor in
mathematics at the high school at
Menominee, Mich, points out what he
regards as the unjust features of a
plan to benefit the few at The expense
of the many. In a communication
he asserts that no protests were heard
from the younger teachers at the time
the bill was passed because they did
not desire to make their presence felt.
Mr.. Hansen says:
1t must be amusing for the teach
er who is not compelled to be mem
Der Of the Wisconsin teachers insur-
ance and retirement fund, to observe
the devices used in order to induce
teachers to become members Every
educational journal is urging the
teacher to join in order to enjoy the
benefits in the distant future. County
superintendent are disseminating lit
erature among their teachers, setting
forth the benefits to be derived. If
the benefits are SO great, it is no Gre
dit to the Wisconsin teacher to be-
lleve that she cannot discover that for
herself without such display. How
many of these teachers are joining [
do not know. The secretary of the
board Of trustees either cannot or does
not wish to state. [ have every rea-
son to believe, however, that the ma
jority of the voluntary members are
those who can retire in year or a
few years, upon annuity.
I do know, however, that among the
teachers Of my acquaintance who are
by laws members Of the fund there is
not one friend of the Wisconsin
teachers insurance and retirement
fund. Is this amazing? Consider that
no benefits are derived unless the
teacher remains in the profession for
twenty-five years, eighteen of which
must be spent in the public schools of
Wisconsin outside of the city of Mil
waukee. In case of being disabled for
service through disease or other
causes before eighteen years have ex-
pired, only one-half of the amount
paid in can be drawn, without interest.
IF the disability is removed and the
work resumed the teacher must de-
post an amount equal to that which
was drawn, with interest. If after
eighteen or more years, the teacher is
permanently disabled, to be certified
by physician, she can draw an
annuity of $3.50 for each year of
