HOLD UP SICK PLAN.
Probe of workingmen Insurance and
Vocational Diseases Assured.


study of the question of vacation
al diseases and also of the insurance
of workingmen by sick benefits when
they are unable through illness to work
is assured.
A resolution has already passed the
legislature for the creation of joint
committee from the senate and assem-
bly, to make a thorough inquiry and
formulate plan for a state vocational
and sick benefit insurance which is to
be presented to the next legislature,
and bill providing an appropriation
for the carrying out of the work 5
assured of passage.
The senate has passed bill making
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
carrying on of the work and people
cognizant of the character of the in
quiry which will have to be made for
the formulation of a thorough bill on
the subject say that the sum of
$4,000 is none too large for the work
which the committee viii have to do
The assembly bill on the subject only
appropriates $4,000 to the work and
this measure has been laid on the SEN
ate table where it will rest until it is
seen what disposal the assembly viii
make of the senate bill. If the as
sembly passes the senate bill then, of
course, the assembly bill will be non
concurred in, being of no further use.
But should the assembly fail to pass
the senate bill, then the senate will
adopt the assembly bill and the com,
rcittee will make as thorough an in
quiry as possible with the means at
its disposal.
The work of inquiring into the state
insurance question with the idea of
eventually creating state insurance
fund which shall furnish insurance to
workmen to protect them in case of
illness of any kind, and especially
against illnesses caused by vocational
diseases, is considered by many per-
sons who are studying economic ques-
lions as great step in an economic
line, as it is declared that there is
great necessity for such insurance in
all the states of the union.
The friends of the plan for the
creation of a state vocational insur-
ance and sick benefit fund for work
ingmen are very much in hopes that
the senate bill on the subject will
pass the assembly and finally be the
measure enacted into law, as they
say that the committee which is APP
pointed to make the inquiry is given
far greater scope and powers in the
senate than in the assembly bill.

MILWAUKEE, MEN FALL IN LINE
Racine County Boosters Promise to
Raise Funds to Meet Kenosha and
Milwaukee Counties in Securing Com
pletion OF Proposed Roadway Soon.

The meeting Of the promoters of the
proposed Lake Shore road between
Milwaukee and Chicago held in Ra-
cine on Thursday proved great sue
cess and the movement started is GER
tain to result in the Improvement of
the lake shore road as part of the
Sheridan road. The Milwaukee men,
who in the past have been active in
securing the improvement of the Kill
bourne road, turned out in force at
the meeting and they declared that
they would be willing to take up the
plan of improving the lake shore road
first. They insisted that a great deal
of work had already been done on the
Kilbourne road and insisted that they
would make an effort to have this
work completed with a view of hav-
ing both roads improved into Mil
waukee.
Both Racine and Kenosha county
representatives pledged cooperation in
the movement to secure the completion
of the through highway between the
two cities. The reports from the vari-
Gus counties showed that the Milwau-
kee boosters had made arrangements
to have the road completed as far
south as the Milwaukee county line
and the Kenosha delegates declared
that $4,000 would be available for
work on the road in this county next
year.
Commissioner Hazelwood of the Wis
consin State Highway Commission, was
the most prominent speaker at the
meeting and he gave much of his time
to discussing the work of the commits
sion. He declared that Racine and
Kenosha counties were aiding northern
counties in building roads by failing
to raise road funds Of sufficient size
to claim the state road money. The
commissioner was promptly "called -

it was under the former law

it was under the former law
So far as being an issue is concerned
the income tax question has become
almost an absent quantity in Wiscon-
sin politics, and that the income tax
law in it's new form is destined to stay
on the statute books for some time is
assured. The tax commissioners claim
that the change in the blanks is really
the most important part of the law
and the members of the tax commission
seem glad that the measure has been
changed SO as to give them greater
degree of freedom in regard to the
blanks which they use.
There is little question that the in
come tax law as it stands on the Wis
consin statute books is hee to stay
It can be also said that there are
numerous other states planning to fol-
low the example of Wisconsin in the
creation of income taxes if the number
Of requests for copies of the income
tax law and bills amending it is any
criterion There have been great
many demands from people of other
states for copies of the Wisconsin law
and in most of these cases the demands
tave been accompanied by letters
which stated state income tax law
was planned in the other state also.
As to the administrative changes
made in the law by this legislature the
members of the tax commission claim
they have simply been introduced into
the Jaw to make it more workable and
that except that they give more elasti-
city in the enforcement of the law the
changes are really Of little interest.
Under the terms of the new law the
tax commission is given very broad
powers as to the arrangement of
blanks to be used in obtaining state
ments from the taxpayers.

AS a general rule it is bad thing
to pemit changes in specifications for
city Improvement work after contracts
have been signed. The way is then
opened for an argument as to whether
or not the city might not have received
more favorable terms from some con-
tractor other than the one who got the
job had the change in specifications
been made before bids were asked and
the unsuccessful bidders have some
grounds to complain that they have
been unfairly treated. While it might
be argued that the objections stated
held in all cases, if there was ever an
exceptional case the Grand avenue
curb change is surely one. That street
has been in an almost impossible con
dition for months. 1t is one of the
main thoroughfares leading into the
city and it is to the interests not only
of the property owners on the street
but of all of the business men of the
city that the Improvement of the street
is not delayed minute longer than is
necessary. BY changing to a concrete
curb and gutter it is hoped to have
the work of paving the street completed
early in August while if the specifca-
tions had been adhered to the work
would have been delayed ninety days
waiting for the sandstone curb, which
would probably mean that it would not
have been completed this fall At that
1t is not likely that the street assess
ment committee would have consented
to the change had there been protest
from a single property owner, but all
were unanimously agreed that it was
best to change the specifications and
90 ahead with the work. AS minor
consideration the property owners will
save about eighteen dollars on every
fifty foot frontage by the substitution
of the cement for the sandstone. There
need be no fears that this action of
the committee establishes any precedent
and opens the way for numerous
changes in specifications on city i'm
provement jobs for it is thoroughly UNI
derstood that this is very exceptional
case.

by the Kenosha delegation who urged
him to look up the records for this
county assuring him that he would
find that Kenosha had raised more
money than the state would allow the
county from the highway funds. Ra-
cine county men admitted that the
road question had not been properly
handled in that county, but a special
committee was named to get busy and
take care of the matter and see to it
that in future years Racine county re-
eeived the full limit from the state
fund.
The meeting was decidedly har-
monious one and it is certain that the
organization formed will do much to
secure the completion of lake shore
road between the state line and Mil
waukee and that the road will touch
all Of the leading cities along the lake.

The people of Kenosha who have
been fighting for adequate service from
the interurban company have very lit
tie knowledge of or interest in the
troubles other cites are having along
the same lines, but they sympathize
with the troubles Racine is having in
getting service from the same company,
and the effort that is being made there
to force the company to grant service
that should have been given as a mat
ter of course and they must protest
against the effort to force the company
to make stops on Milwaukee avenue in
this city being used in any way as an
excuse to cut down the service in Ra-
cine or elsewhere. That is not fair to
Kenosha but it appears to be the line
of argument that is being used. The
state railroad commission writes to the
Kenosha city attorney: "We also find
that if we increase the number of stops
in Kenosha and Racine it will result
in extending the running time between
the two cities because of the increase
of traffic. That is not true as applied
to Kenosha. The cars stood in front
of the public service building for thirty
minutes between every trip and
the railway company is not going to get
any additional traffic from this city for
years yet that would consume that
thirty minutes in handling. Inasmuch
as the cars are now enjoined from en-
tering the city any order that the com
mission may enter will have no effect
at this time but it will be useful sooner
or later when the interurban attempts
to get into the city by means of
franchise of its own either over Mil
waukee avenue or some other street.
1t will also show the people of other
cities who are fighting for their rights
that Kenosha made no unfair demands
on the company.
