Johnson became furious when counsel for Mrs. F. Cameron -Falconnet,e the mo her of the aineteen-year-old girl, demanded that his bond be increased
 q don't see why Johnson should be shown any more pariality than any other defendant charged with a similar crime" said Charles Erb- steir, .ne woman's attorney. 'sI don't think it's necessary to 1n- crease the bond," Johnson told the court. "I am a responsible citizen. l have ,a business worth $6O,000
 sIt may be worth that to you'' flashed back Erbstein, but it's ille- gal and you ought to be put out of business"
 "An right, MT. Mayor" comment ed Johnson.

A CANNERY NEEDED

ALREADY fruit growers Of the
Bayfield, county fruit district are
talking of the need of cannery
in this section and it is likely
that some effort will be made to
have one started here before an
other year elapses. That a
cannery is needed was demon
strated during the strawberry
season just closing. There was
days when fruit was too ripe for
shipment to the markets any
distance away and had there
been cannerv this fruit could
have been used at home. AS it
was some Of the fruit had to be
shipped to the markets aud the
result was that it did not bring
the prices that it should. Con-
ditions similar to this will have
to be met every year and there
should be some means of taking
care of the surplus fruit, espec.
tally when it is too ripe for ship
ment, or when there is an over
production in any one day.
Canning fruit has proven to be a
profitable business for it not
only keeps the surplus off the
market but also pays nice
revenue for the fruit used in this
way.
Before another season fruit
growers should look into the
proposition.
The Superior Telegram has the
following editorial on the income
tax:
''The idea that every voter who
favors an income tax is in favor of
the kind of income tax law which is
now in force in Wisconsin is totally
contrary to the facts. The Wiscon.
sin law is without single redeem
ing feature, and for the welfare OF
the state it should be gotten rid of
at the earliest possible moment. 1t
puts special taxes on wage workers,
and is hindrance to both capital
and labor. 1t is an all around
trouble maker without any compen-
sating results.
The Telegram seems to hit il a.
bout right when it says that the
income tax law is abouta as unpopular
a measure as was ever passed by
the Wisconsin legislature.
