MANY A NoSTRUM FAILED
Then a Plain Hay Seed" Brought
Forth Satisfactory Remedy

EDITOR CENSOR: The Canada thistle
is dangerous and troublesome weed.
IL resembles the trusts in this respect;
It soon is a monopoly where it secures
a foothold. It's most formidable ene-
mics in the vicinity of Viroqua have
been X I. Bentson, Thos Stevens and
the late Fred wilkins. The latter hav-
ing been druggist, tried TO drug ii to
death, but in spite of the doses admin
istered il would arise smiling after
each throw. Sam Sloggy's method was
OF the strenuous sort, ITO hoe it
every Saturday. This, il persisted in
log enough, meant death TO the thistle.
Andrew Olson would run a traction en-
CINE over the thistles, which left them
in depressed condition, but Phoenix
like, they would arise again. Harvey
Allen would put salt on their roots, but
that did not make them very sorry.
Assemblyman Mains tried to legislate
them to death, but a referendum anti
dote saved them there
One of my neighbours solved the Cana
da thistle problem without any great
strain to his upper story. This is the
way it happened: lie had about
quarter of an acre infested with thistles
which he intended to plant to tobacco,
but in 1910 il was so terribly dry that
he couldn't plant, so in the latter part
Of July he sowed japanese millet, also
called billion dollar grass. About the
7th of August we had good rain ard
that millet started to grow, and pretty
soon that piece of ground was dense
mass Of vegetation. and the way those
thistles were overwhelmed was reve-
lation; they were completely smothered
and the three or four that did survive
looked like the provcrbal thirty cents
The miiet was cut with binder and
helped to solve the hay question. Here
is a good way of killing the thistle
without any extra work OF course the
ground ought = be thoroughly prepare d

row can be used so much the better.

NEW TAX BURDEN AGAIN
ASSESSOR OF INCOMES WRITES
A SECOND LETTER
Apparent Inconsistencies That Lead
to Editorial Inquiry of tire Censor
in Another Column
The assessment under the law will

The assessment under the law will be
made between now and April 1st.
The tax will be payable at the time
other taxes are paid next December or
January.
The first step in the administration
of the law is the securing by the As
SCISSOR of Incomes the names of all per-
sons in the district who are likely to
come under the law. In short time
blanks will be mailed to those persons.
The fact that you are not notified or do
not receive a blank does not relieve
you however from making returns if
you are subject to the tax. You will
fill out those blanks, answering every
question, and return same to the as
SCISSOR of income. As there is a penalty
of IS 60 on the assessor for each ques-
tion left unanswered which he cannot
account for, you will see how necessary
it is that every question be answered.
The statement must be sworn to be-
fore a notary public or before the as
SCISSOR of incomes. If before the lat
ter it will be administered free of
charge.
IMPORTANT
Every person who is subject to the
tax who fails or refuses to make re-
turn may be required to pay the tax at
double the original rate. If he makes
a false or fraudulent return, not show
ing his full amount of income and this
additional amount may be assessed at
double the original rate. In each case
he is liable upon conviction to fine of
not to exceed $500 or Imprisonment not
to exceed one year, or both, at the dis
erection of the court.
The salaries of state, county, town,
city and village officers are not exempt
under this law, only the salaries of U.
5. officials, such as postmasters, post
office clerks, U. S. judges, etc.
The estimated rental of residence
property occupied by the owner is
counted as part of his income to place
him on a level with the man who rents
and who has to pay rent out of money
counted as part of his income
By TAXABLE INCOME is meant net
income after taking fran your gross
income the exemptions and deductions
allowed.
EXAMPLE NO. l.
Let us take the case of travelling
man who received for the year 1911 a
salary of $4,000. He has wife and
two children and lives in his own home,
the estimated rental of which is SIS per
month. There is a mortgage on his
place of $1,000 for which he pays per
cent interest.
Here is statement showing how to
get his income tax.
