HON. j. "A. CHINN0CK'S
NEW TAX BILL

Assemblyman John A. Chinook,
of Hudson, has about perfected his
bill permitting the semi-annual pay
ment of taxes in Wisconsin. 1t may
be introduced next week. An inter-
esting development is that il will
make the matter of taxpaying
twice year optional. Persons will
be permitted, if they choose, to pay
annually as now, or if they prefer
they may pay part in January and
part at some date in summer that
the law will specify.
The bill will be one of the most
voluminous introduced, embracing
upwards of forty or fifty pages; and
if it gets before the house the prob
ability is that many notifications
are likely TO be made in it. But
what Mr.. Chinook desires is the
retention of the elemental point
permission to pay taxes semi an
nually. So far as he has been able
to ascertain there is no opposition,
but he is by no means certain that
this condition will prevail through
out Chippewa Falls Independent.

expansive canopy. The air was
remarkably clear and transparent,
SO clear that you could see a great
distance off, and objects were
distinctly visible that could not
have been discerned even dimly
during the time the sky was
overloaded. Off to the west of
Corvallis on the Coast range
Mt. Chintimini, the highest peak of
that range, some twenty miles
away, stood up against the sky
clothed to the summit in garment
of living green. 1t seemed nearer
by half than it had ever appeared
to US before. So transparent was
the air that the trees with which it
is covered were distinctly made out.
Snow falls on the Coast range,
but the lower altitude and nearneSs
to the ocean does not permit of
its remaining on the SUBMITS but
short time. The Cascade range
is farther from Corvallis than the
Coast range, some forty to fifty
miles away, and this range, while
being farther from the ocean is high
er than the Coast range, and is, as
consequence of these conditions in
the winter covered with snow,
while the higher peaks are snow
clad the year round.
Miles of this magnificent range
of mountains were visible along the
eastern horizon, its lower portion
appearing like bank of dark
gray clouds while it's higher
attitudes were snow-clad and the
loftier peaks stood out against the
sky, towering high above the level.
of the main ridge, glistening in the
sunlight. Mt. Jefferson, one of the
highest peaks of the range, is
directly east of Corvallis. This
peak was of course the cynosure of
all eyes for its lofty height and
nearness projected it into the
foreground of vision. A little to
the south of Mt. Jefferson the tops
of the Black Buttes were con-
spicuors above the range and still
farther to the south the white
majesty of the Three Sisters loom
ed against the blue sky. Upon
these great peaks, standing grandly
against the eastern sky in their
silent and immovable majesty, we
gazed long and wonderingly. They
seemed near although the nearest
is probably seventy miles away.
But far to the northeast of these
peaks, one hundred and fifty miles
away, Mt. Hood, the highest
mountain in Oregon, was seen to
project its vast bulk in bold relief
against the sky, gigantic mass of
mountain crystal towering high
above adjoining peaks. What a
sight was that silent, unmoving
sentinel on the border land of space.
We gaze enraptured at these great
mountains and seem to be in their
presence although actually far
away. Their very vastness seem
to draw you near to them, you feel
something of the effects of their
presence. You have on apprecia-
ton of their grandeur, feeling of
reverence, a sense of something
holy in view of these crystal masses
of mountains towering up into the
pure atmosphere of the blue sky.
No groveling thoughts can be
entertained in the presence of such
vastness. 1t would seem that to
him who lives in the presence of
lofty mountains only sublime
thoughts could be entertained, only
holy sentiments cherished.
"A boy beheld in flush of morning sunshine
The mountains submits cleaning crystal
clear
And shouted, as he clambered toward their
snow-eaps,
The hills OF God are near"

is his revenge.
Prouty in his rising days bought some
stock in a company that promised big
returns He was we'll known throughout
the community, and he was flattered
when he was elected to an office in the
concern. Two friends of his-working
girls-who had saved few thousand
dollars, invested all their savings in the
concern on the strength Of his name.
Those girls lost every cent they put in
it. Then they told Prouty about it.
Prouty became suspicious and began an
investigation, resulting in his visiting
the office of the president of the con.
cern and demanding that he make him
out check for the total amount of the
girls stock purchases. "1'll send you
a check for every cent I've drawn for
salary and dividends," he said, "and
I'll turn in my stock" He got the
check after hammer and tongs argu.

money he bad received, Incidentally he
announced that he had withdrawn from
the company. Two weeks later It failed.

New Efficiency Method Used to Smooth
Out Way for Wilson, Underwood
Tariff Bill.
JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS
MAKES GREAT WHIP THERE.
Illinois Senator Will Speed Work Up
on Senate Floor and Will Be
Good Man for Place
BY Burton K. Standish.
Written for the United Press. J

(Wrltten Tor the united PreSS.)
Washington, June 1S.-The senate is
getting the first taste of scientific
management in politics. The Demo.
cratic majority is applying the new eff.
ficiency methods to smooth out the way
for the Wilson Underwood tariff bill.
In the first place the Democrats now
have "whip," James Hamilton Lewis,
senator from Illinois. Nobody ever
heard of "whip' in the senate before,
It was an outgrowth of unyieldly ma.
jorities in the house, where the speaker
used to appoint an "assistant floor
leader" whose job was to hurry the
"boys'' on the floor at times when the
party neeted their votes. "Jim" Wat
son of Indiana, when he was "whip"
made the job a real one. Watson was
renowned as never having lost vote
while he was in congress, That was in
the OLD Cannon days. Watson used to
stand at the entrance to the house, and
as the members trooped in would say,
"Vote aye" or "vote no" and the
statesmen would so answer to their
names. A majority of 'em didn 7 know
what they were voting on, but they
were certain that Jim Watson always
had the right dope and the couldn' t 10
recorded against their party.
Lewis appointment is a further illus.
tration of the Democratic Scientific
management" program for the senate.
In business-like manner the new ma
iority has already done away with the
furnishing of mineral water to solons;
discharged all the masseurs, bath at
tendants and servants in the fine sen.
ate bath rooms; cut down on the NUM-
ber of clerks and "speeded" up routine
of senate procedure by change in the
rules 1t will be Lewis duty to "speed "
the work on the senate floor.
1t is quite a tribute to the Illinois
senator that he should be chosen for
this difficult post. Moreover his ap-
pointment is another breaking Of pre-
cedents. Lewis came TO the senate on
March and three months later he was
made "assistant majority leader" In
the old days it took ten years for q
senator to "arrive" in the upper house
Moreover, custom prescribed that dur
ing the new senator's first year Of Of
flee, he shouldn't open his mouth in
debate Lewis, however, has impressed
his colleagues in the senate inside of
three months that he is a lawyer of re.
markabe attainments, a speaker Of pol
ish and charm, and one who has a most
persuasive manner.
President Wilson is understood fully
to approve Of the plan to reduce control
Of the senate floor by the Democrats ia
a science. While granting the minor.
ity a full exercise of its right of debate
it is said to be the administration
view that henceforth the majority must
hold the discussion down as closely as
possible to actual business.

5-YEAR SECRECY
PHTHISIS CURE
INGREDIENT
"Contratoxin" Is Name of New
Alleged Remedy for Consump-
tion-DisCoverer Modest.

LONDON. June 24-Dr. Frederick
Mehnarto. of Heidelberg, who is now
residing in London. announces in the
latest issue of the Lancet, the par
ticUlars Of a new alleged consump-
ton cure discovered by him and call
ed "contratoxin."
Two hundred patients are now ap-
parently cured, he asserts, after hav-
ing been treated with this injection
at the Margaret Street and Mount
Vernon hospitals. All Of the patients
were pledged to secrecy before the
experimenting began
The doctors at the Margaret Street
Hospital who have been applying the
treatment, positively refuse to give
any information or details, as they
do not consider that the treatment
has yet had a fair trial.
DR.. Mehnarto writes:
"Contratoxin consists of the blood
plasma Of various animals mixed in
proportions calculated to produce a
lytic action on various micro organ
isms without reducing zysis Of the
human red corpuscles. In the pro-
duction Of contratoxin advantage is
taken Of the fact that some reptiian
plasmas act as haemolytic agents,
while others act as coagutant agents.
The practical value of this fact is
that when horses or sleeps blood
is sensltized by a combination of both
types of reptilian plasma the red
cOrpuscles are no longer capable of
being dissolved by distilled water and
at the same time the blood becomes
powerfully bacteriolytic."
