BY unanimous action the senate has
approved the site and plan for the
Lincoln memorial recommended recent
ly by the commission of which Presi-
dent Taft is chairman. The plan is for
a rectangular marble structure 156
feet long and "a feet wide. with Doric
columns, A feet high and of feet
inches diameter, on two sides.
Within the central hall is to be a
heroic statue of the great president.
The site is to be in Potomac Park.
In the House, it is said, there may be
opposition to the project by those who
would rather have the memorial take
the form of road from Washington
to Gettysburg, a bridge across the Po-
tomac OF some other of the PROPOSE
tions rejected by the commission.
The representatives ought to be as sen
sible on this subject as the senators.
Congress has decided to spend $4,000.
600 on the memorial, and the money
should not be spent on work that
would be meaningless or inappropriate
Sentiment and art should combine to
produce an impressive and splendid
Lincoln monument in the national
capital Herald.

MAY CHANGE SYSTEM.
State Tax Commission has
Plan for Eliminating
Personal Taxes.
MANY LINES TO Be Gut OFF

Radical changes in the tax system
Of the state was urged in a report made
public by the state tax commission to-
day, to be presented to the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
This applies to farmers live stock,
vehicles and miscellaneous personal
property being exempted, and a great
saving to manufacturers >and mer-
chants whose stocks have been taxed
under this law. 1t will save 100000
to the tax payers, the report says,
every four years by the abolition of
annual assessment Of real estate, a
new assessment to be made only once
in four years.
The abolition will be made possible
through the successful operation Of
the income tax which was introduced
this year.
Certain classes of personal property,
the commission does not want exempt
ed. Among THESE are Dank STOCKS, pub
lie utilities and automobiles. A horse
power or weight tax on automobiles is
recommended. It, is pointed out in the
report that the income tax yielded
within $25o,000 of the personal prop
erty tax for 1911, that 1911 was bad
year for incomes because Of the
drought, and that in 1912, the income
tax will yield more than the personal
property tax. The personal property
tax has never been justly assessed, or
fair in its levy, and it will therefore
be abolished for the more equitable
income tax, it is suggested.

INSPECT ALI. STORES
Deputy J. A. Morris of In
dustrial Commission is
Working in KenOsha
MUST LIST WOMEN EMPLOYEES

j. A. Norris of Madison, deputy in
the Office of the Industrial Commiss-
ion of Wisconsin, came to Kenosha this
| morning and began general inspec-
ton Of all places in the city in which
women are employed. He especially
gave his attention to the down-tow
retail centers and his visit was most
opportune on account Of the fact that
J he found the stores in the midst of the
heaviest trading period of the year.
Inspector Norris visited many stores
during the day and in nearly every one
of them he found that the provisions
of the state law regulating the hours
| of women was being observed. Few
of the merchants had observed the rule
which demanded public schedule of
the hours for work Of the employees to
be posted and blanks for such notices
were left with the merchants and all
will comply with the order at once.
"Kenosha employers of women have
not given us great deal Of trouble, /"
said Mr. Norris fand [ find that your
people here show willingness to live
up to the spirit as well as the letter
Of the law. The inspection that [ am
making is not calculated to catch the
holiday business and it just happened
that we reached here while this bust
ness was in progress. Merchants and
other employers of women throughout
the state are beginning to see the full
value of the working Of this law and
do not believe that there is any great
demand for any amendment to it.
There have been some cases cited in
which the law has not worked to the
best interest of some Of the employers
but I do not believe that efforts to
have the law changed will find any
great support. The law is working
wonders for the women employees OF
the state and the employer has found
that he is getting better work for his
wages than he ever did before"
At this time of the year practically
every store in Kenosha has some en-
ployees falling under the provisions of
the law. There was no reason to be-
lieve that violations of the law would
result in arrests in Kenosha. Inspec-
tor Norris will probably be busy in the
city for several days and his inspec-
ton will also include the industrial
plants where women are employed.

SHORT CHANGE MEN BUSY.
Smooth Workers Make Effort to Secure
Money in Kenosha Stores Monday.

The police had a call on Monday af-
ternoon asking that they make an eff
fort to secure the arrest of band of
short change artists at work in the
city. The men piled their occupation
in several of the large stores and
made big outcrys against change CIV
en- them by the clerks. At one place
the men managed to get ten dollars
from the proprietor of the store on the
claim that they had given a young
lady a twenty dollar bill and that she
had given him change for ten. The
police looked up the matter and found
that the same men had tried the same
game in other stores. They managed
to elude the police and are supposed
to have left the city.

The Christmas Spirit.

Wednesday is Christmas Day-tht
one holiday celebrated throughout the
Christian world. It will be day Of
good cheer, day of happy family re
unions, real holiday for the children
and just as delightful for their
parents.
In the last few days much has been
said and written Of the '1Christmas
Spirit" and with the Christmas bells
ringing out their message Of Peace on
Earth and Good Will to Man, it is
most opportune to ask the question
E'What is the Christmas Spirit.
The real Christmas spirit is the
spirit of self negation-the spirit that
shares rather than gives. Gift giving
is only a virtue when the gift carries
with it the good will Of the giver
Many men are able to heap their
friends with gifts without personal
sacrifice, but the man who gives with
out personal sacrifice feels none of the
pleasures OF the man who denies him
self that he may aid little in max
ing others happy.
The master Christmas gift was the
son Of God. He was given freely that
the world might have light and have
it more abundantly. He came among
the people in all humility and the
story of his life is the greatest story
of self sacrifice that the world had
ever known. Out Of his life comes
the real Christmas spirit. Its first les
OH is the lesson of humility and with
it comes the lesson of helpfulness to
others. The man does not need to be
the follower of any creed to realize
that the Christ life was the real light
of the Christian world. Wherever the
story of the Babe of Bethlehem has
penetrated it has brought to the peo-
pie a new and greater happiness
its wake civilization has brought new
methods Of living and today more than
half the population of the world again
stand ready to follow with the wise
men the course of the star that led
TO the lowly manger.
In this season of good will to all
the spirit of the Christ life should
point the way for the man who seeks
the proper observance Of Christmas.
Truly it is better to give than to re-
ceive, but Let the gift be in modera-
ton and let it carry with it some re-
Election of the life of Him for whom
the day was named. In the plentitude
of your prosperity find a way to
stretch out hand TO aid tie less pros
porous. Let the Christmas cheer about
your own hearth-stone be reflected in
the lives of those about you and let
your gifts be planned so as to truly
bring the Good viii among men which
was first proclaimed from the cross on
Cal airy. This is the real Spilit of
Christmas.
