Monday a neighbor rode over to
the home Of the women and found
the building in ruins and still
smoking He summoned some Of
his neighbors and they dug around
in the ruins AMI found the bodies

1t was at first thought that the
accident had happened as the
result Of the explosion of a
gasoline stove but investigation
showed that both women had their
skulls crushed and their bodies
slashed with a knife or other sharp
instrument.
a coroner's inquest was called
and their Investigations along with
the suspicious actions of the negro

APPROXIMATELY thlrty-Seven million
dollars is the heavy toll progressiveism
levies on the farms, homes and indus
tries of Wisconsin for the next two
years, or about nine hundred per cent
more than was required twenty years
ago, an increase that can be accounted
for only upon the theory that our state
government is being managed prodig-
ally. There is absolutely no necessity
for this abnormally high tax exaction.
The fact that this enormous sum has
been levied is matter demanding the
serious consideration of the tax payers,
for if public burdens are to go on multi
plying in the future as they have in the
past, it will not be long before farming
and home owning will be luxury few
will be able to indulge in. That our
state government is being managed
with a prodigal hand is no longer de-
batable question, as the constantly in
creasing taxes preclude the admission
of testimony to the contrary. Why
does it require nine times as much to
run the state as it did twenty years
ago? The answer probably will be that
the state has increased in population.
But population has only increased ap-
proximately tWenty-nine per cent,
whereas our expenses have increased
nearly nine hundred per cent. Thus it
will be seen that the abnormal increase
of public burdens is not attributable to
increase in population, and if an eX-
cuse for it is to be found at all, it can
not be found in the increase of popula-
tion The fact is that our progressives
have been multiplying public Office and
unreasonably extending the sphere of
government so that now farmer or a
business man can hardly turn around
without being obliged to report his do
ings and have them scrutiniZed by some
state heirling. While the people have
been sleeping the Office seeker and his
partner, the office holder, have been
busy providing new sources of public
expenditure. In order to meet the ex-
traordinary expense incident to the
system of sinecurism which is now
maintained, every source of income
that could possibly be discovered has
been resorted to, and many new ones
never before heard of have been in
vented. They have picked the meat
off every tax bone and are growing
because the meat is all gone. If there
be anything taxable that they have not
laid their hands on it must be hidden
in the bowels of the earth, for there
are few things on the surface that re-
main untouched. What's the remedy?

EX-GOVERNOR GEORGE w. PECK wa

EX-GOVERNOR GEORGE w. PECK was
a caller at the Union office on Friday
of last week and we had long, earn
est talk with him over the danger that
looms up before the people of Wiscon-
sin from this wasteful and prof1igate
progressive system which has raised
the expense of state government to the
extent that the amount voted by the
last legislature to run the state another
two years will exceed thirty. six mil
lions of dollars We notice that Gov.
Peck has put his ideas into shape in the
form of an interview in the Milwaukee
Free Press in which he says: "Year
by year the state administration is
founding new commissions that are ex-
pensive to maintain, buying additional
land and appropriating more money for
it's educational institutions until today
the budget triples that of Cows. Scho-
field and Hoard. Now they are formu-
lating new ways and means of taxation
but when new methods fail and the
budget increases at this alarming rate
bankruptcy stares the state in the face.
High taxation and its results on the
citizen are manifest on every hand.
People, rich and poor alike, hide their
money for fear they will be deprived of
it, for when they see a masked man
coming down the road they are not
sure whether he is burglar or tax
collector No one smiles unless
they are tickled in the ribs, not even
the farmer with bumper crop and un-
encountered farm. There is too much
pessimism in our country, but for the
life of me | fail to hit upon remedy"
In his talk with US Gov. Peck express
ed himself as being full of concern over
the manifest tendency of affairs that
has arisen through this false demagogic
cry of progressivism. No wonder he is
concerned Anyone who is not pro-
gressive officeholder and blind man
ought to see the facts as they stand
out as a mountain peak to be known
and understood by all.-Fort Atkinson

THE Inter Ocean estimates the new
tariff act will reduc the annual GUS
toms revenue from $305, 600, 900 to
S249, 900, 900. To make good this loss
we are to have not only the present
corporation tax, now producing $751;
100000 a year, but personal and
graduated income tax, which is expect
ed to yield about $85, 100000 annually.
Thus it will be seen that the act effects
no decrease, but merely redistribu-
ton, of the tax burden of the national
government upon the people. Men
with incomes above $4,000 to $4,000
will pay more. To reduce the cost of
living" is the avowed purpose of the
act and the promise of its trainers.
That is what the people have been lee
to expect and for which they will watch
its operations to see if they are get
ting. Now watch and see if the ''cost
of living" does go down, and stay
down! But don't be surprised if il
doesn't go, or doesn't stay.
