BILL TO BAR VOTING MACHINES.
One Of Several Important New Meas
ures Admitted by Rules Committee.

Voting machines will be forbidden
for use in any election in Wisconsin if
8 new bill which Assemblyman Mahon
presented this morning becomes a law
Milwaukeeans and residents of interior
cities of the state will oppose this bill,
as wherever they have been introduced,
voting machines have been popular.
The objection raised to them is that
they are conducive to party voting and
that split ballots are not possible on the
machines as where the vote is by paper
ballot
A waterpower control bill was pre-
scented by Assemblyman Mahon. 1t
embodies the ideas of Governor Meow
ern on the waterpower control opera
tion and is IN many ways like the bill
presented at the special session held
last May. Another interesting bill COM
pells all employers of labor to give en-
ployes one full twentyfour hours rest
period during every seven days. All
these bills have the endorsement Of the
committee on rules.

State May Offer Interesting
Solution of Old Problem
for Kenosha Co. Farmer
SEND REPORT TO LEGISLATURE

Kenosha county will soon find its
areas of peat marshes an important
source of fuel is the prediction made
i'll the report of the state conservation
commission sent to the legislature to-
day. Estimates in the report indicate
that these marshes in the state may
in the next half century yield a cash
return from 5000 to $4,000 an acre.
According to the report Of the con-
servation commission about seven per
cent Of the total area of the state,
comprising nearly 100000 acres, is
marshy. The Investigations show
that this land may be used for three
purposes. 1t can be drained and used
for the purposes of agriculture, or it
can be held until such time as economic
conditions will permit the marketing
of quarter billion tons Of finished
peat or the land may be submerged
and used as reservoirs for the regula-
lion Oh SGtbdul HOW.
If the peat in the marshes is to be
used for fuel, the commission has as
certained that an acre of peat one
foot thick will produce 200 tons of
peat fuel. The compilations made by
the commission indicates that within
few years tbs peat vii be sold at q
profit of from so cents to $100 ton.
In elaborate tables it is figured that
allowing an Interest charge of eight
per cent and holding the peat that the
prevent value of an acre of peat two
feet thick would be 1915.
"When peat is suitable for specially
valuable uses, such as manufacture
of fibre board, its value is considerably
greater than for use as fuel CON
tinues the report. 'tMarshes of this
kind should in all probability not be
drained but kept for more profitable
use.
| The commission recommended that
the Legislature change the present
drainage laws so as to reduce the I'M
necessarily great expense now attend
ant upon the organization of drainage
districts that the Legislature amend
the constitution SO that it may pur-
chase marshes and that "the state re-
tain the large marshes it already
owns, which contain clean peat suit
able for fuel and other purposes.

All Of the people Of the city who have
paid their personal taxes, and that in
eludes the great majority, viii sympa-
thize with the efforts of the council
to clean up the delinquent personal
property tax rolls and approve Of any
efforts that may be made to that end.
Most of the people who are trying 20
dodge the collection of these taxes are
as able to pay them as most of those
who have settled with the treasurer as
shown by the fact that they have prop
erty to assess and there is no good
reason why they should not be made
to contribute to the city treasury. Be
sides the city must get after these d.
linquents for its own protection. If no
effort is made TO collect these delin-
quent taxes and the parties owing them
are allowed to escape scot-free simply
by refusing to pay them a large in
crease in the number of delinquents
may be expected in the future. Other
property owners who have always set
tied with the treasurer promptly may
be tempted to refuse payment if no eff
fort is made to get after the delin-
quents. There is no good reason why
anyone should pay if some arc allowed
to escape payment.

PLAN TO CONTROL ELECTIONS
Names of Many Women Expected to be
Added to the Registration Rolls IN
der New Decision of the Attorney
General Fourth Ward as Leader.

Women of Kenosha~ interested In
voting have taken great deal of en-
couragement since the primary Of
Tuesday as a study of the returns OF
the primary election indicates that
more women showed their willingness
to vote on Tuesday than ever before
in the history of Kenosha and 1T is
certain from an examination OF the
vote that ballots cast by the women
dictated the nomination of men for
membership of the school board in sew
eral of the wards of the city.
The vote among the women in the
second third, fourth and fifth wards
was nota BILE one. The total number
of women votes cast in the primary
was sligl tly over two hundred. The
fourth ward led with seventy-nine and
the second ward was second with fifty
nine. The women of the north side of
the city failed to show any desire to
exercise their right of suffrage. In
the eighth ward one lone woman kept
the sex on the poll lists. One block on
Ridge street proved the bright star in
the woman s armament for the day
and it is declared that every one of
the sixteen women of voting age hv-
ing in this block voted at the primary.
The success of the women in the
naming of certain candidates on the
primary has given them a new cour-
age and it is certain that at the cleo
tion week from next Tuesday
larger number Of the women
will be seen in the polling places. The
women at this time will have a chance
of voting two ballots. One is for the
election of a state superintendent and
the other for school commissioners in
the city. The attorney general has
held that women and men for that
matter need not appear in person at the
polls to register and in several of the
wards women interested in the school
fights are making out lists of women
whom they know are entitled to vote
and these lists will be sent to the reg
stry boards on Tuesday to be added
to the regular lists. This plan will
eliminate one trip for the women to
the polls and it is thought that it will
60 long way to secure the votes of
the women on election day.
Some of the women are organizing
voting clubs and it is certain that
election day will find the women de-
cideGly active. In some of the wards
there are more men than women who
may vote at the election and the lead
ers among the women are not slow to
recognize the fact that with simplifed
registration it will be an easy matter
for them to become the controlling
factor in the election of school
officials.
The decision of the attorney gener-
al that the new law in regard to regis
tration is already in effect will also
aid materially in getting the male vot-
ers registered as many men who are
now out of the city, but who expect
to be back on election day, may send
their names to the members Of the
registry board by mail with the assur-
ance that they will be placed on the
poll list.

MOVING VAN READY.
City Treasurer Ready to Seize Personal
Property of Delinquent Taxpayers.

The CRY Treasurer is ready with his
moving van to begin the collection Of
delinquent personal taxes and armed
with his warrant as treasurer the treas
urer, chief of police and assistants are
going to get busy late this afternoon.
More than twenty places are on the
list to be raided. Some of the della.
quents have questioned the right of the
city to take this way of collecting taxes
but the treasurer has been given an
opinion by the city attorney and he is
backed by all of the officials of the
city. The officers are determined to
make a cleanup of delinquents this
year. The city attorney has given his
opinion to the treasurer and to the
members of the finance committee and
all are convinced of the right of the
city to act.

They are liable to be called old fash
toned and unprogressive but neverthe-
less there are quite a number OF tax
payers IN the city who believe that the
city should never have been committed
to any plan involving an ultimate ex-
penditure of $250,0oo for school
building, for which bonds will have to
be issued, without giving them chance
to be heard on the matter. They are
all men who believe that proper accom-
modations should be provided for every
child who wishes to attend school and
who would not oppose any expenditures
that they believe to be proper and nee
essary but they also believe that a mat
ter involving the expenditure of such
an amount of money, should be given
the widest publicity and should not be
decided upon hastily.

THOMAS SCOTT FIRST MASTER
Special Dispensation by State Council
Reaches Kenosha and Officers Of the
Council are Elected Charter rEem-
bership to be Over One Hundred.

Acting under dispensation of the
Grand Council Of Royal and Select
Masters Of the State of Wisconsin, the
first meeting of the Kcnosha Council
Of this branch of the Masonic Order
was held at the Masonic Temple on
Wednesday evening and in short time
q charter viii be issued to the Com
panions Of the Kenosha Council. For
so many years that the memory of the
Oldest Mason fails to recall it, members
of the Kenosha Chapter of the Royal
Arch Masons have been going to Ra-
cine to take the degrees Of the coun-
ell. In fact the Racine Council at the
present time now has as many members
from Eero3la as it has from Racine.
Three months ago a movement was
started for the establishing Of a coun-
ell in Kenosha. Thomas S. Scott was
the leader in the movement and at his
suggestion score OF the members OF
the Racine Council residing in Kenosha
made the petition for the institution of
the Kenosha Council. These twenty
members have all Identified from the Ra-
cine Council and the dispensation has
been issued to them. 1t is expected
that the Kenosha Council will have at
least hundred charter members as it
is thought that al of the members of
the Racine Council residing in Kenosha
will at once take demits from Racine
and unite with the Kenosha Council.
The meeting on Wednesday evening
was of a preliminary nature but Of
1iccrs were elecaed and plans laid for
the future of the council.
Thomas S. Scott was elected Thrice
lllustrious Master of the new council
and he will have charge Of the future
plans for the formal institution Of the
council. 1t is certain that the council
will be-, instituted with all formality
and this work viii be in charge of the
Racine council which council petition
ed for the establishing of the council
in Kenosha
The full list of officers Of the new
council follows;
Thrice Illustrious Master-Thomas
S. Scott.
lllustrious Deputy Master-Lynn f.
Hannahs.
Principal Conductor Of Work-Fred
j. Fisher.
Treasurer. II. Leonard.
Recorder. o. Bernard.
Trustees-H. j. Hastings, John L.
Chester, Il. f. McCandless.
Captain of the Guard-Raymond J..
Austin.
Conductor of the Council-Richard
Hawkins.
Steward-A. j. Tanck.
The councillor degree is open to all
members Of the Royal Arch Degree
and as there arc more than two humid
red members of the Royal Arch in
Kenosha it is certain that the new
council here will have large mem
bership and rapidly take place as
one of the principal councils in the
state.

Farmers to Build Co-opera-
tive Creameries to Secure
Increase in Milk Price.
kENOSHA MAY HAVE CREAMERY

After four days warfare over
milk prices without material result
the members of the Milk Producers
Association in Northern Illinois and
Southern Wisconsin have adopted a
new slogan iii their attempt to secure
recognition Of their demands for $l.50
hundred for milk and they are now
threatening to start cooperative
creameries in all parts of the Illinois
and Wisconsin territory of the Elgin
dairy district. Plans for the organic
ing of these creameries are now being
made and it is said that the first will
be started at Hebron. Already $4,000
has been subscribed among the mem
bers of the association to provide for
the building of this creamery and
blanks for stock subscriptions are be-
ing sent out to the producers at prac
tically every point where bottling
plant of the Borden and Bowman
companies is located. 1t is said that
the plan will include the establishing
Of cooperative creameries at Bristol,
Woodwork Salem Bassett's Station,
and Genoa Junction to take care of
the milk from Kenosha county farms.
1t is possible that still another CO.
operative creamery will be opened at
Richmond, III.
Concerted opposition to the big trust
companies is to be made all along the
line and it is declared that Kenosha
county producers are at the very head
of the procession of protest. 1t is
possible that cooperative plant will
be established in Kenosha to take
care of milk brought from farms in
the neighborhood of this city.
The present contracts of the farmers
do not expire until week from next
Tuesday and it is said that pending
the building Of the proposed CO.
operative creameries that some plan
will be worked out by which milk may
be marketed in Chicago. It is even
possible that an independent company
under the management of the officials
of the association will offer milk in
Chicago at a price lower than it is
being sold by the companies who are
charged with monopolizing the bust
ness of the big city. It is said that
independent companies in Chicago have
offered TO handle the output Of the pro-
testing members of the association.
Farmers in Kenosha county are TAX
ing great interest in the fight and
meetings are being held daily at the
various shipping platforms and bot
Ting plants in the county to take up
the matter and work out a plan to
make the demand for higher prices eff
fective. It is said that the Bowman
and Borden companies have shown, no
willingness to arbitrate the matter
and that both companies will insist on
the proposed price offered by them GO
ing into effect on April 1st.

Parcel Post System Biggest
Aid to the Farmer Since
Harvesting Machine.
BRINGS HIM CLOSE TO MARKET

Since the invention of the harvest.
ing machinery no other one thing af-
fecting the farmer has come to pass
that has equaled the advantages to
him as the parcels post. When the
bin was passed by congress and sign
ed by the president, the people in gen.
eral did not fully realize the benefit
to be derived, out a study of the law
has shown that for convenience, the
saving of time and money, no
other law has equaled its benefit to
the farmer.
Under our parcels post system it is
not necessary to neglect the important
farm work in order to purchase few
living necessities in the city. In old
en- times it used to be that some vital
farm operation had to be neglected
for the trip, but that time Is past.
The modern family by. telephone or
mail orders the necessities of the farm
and household and on the tomorrow
they are delivered to his door,
The parcels post makes the farm and
the city next door neighbors and there
are indeed few conveniences of the
city that the farmer does not enjoy.
It brings the big buying power and
economy of Kenosha s stores as close
to the people Of Kenosha county as
their mail boxes.
There is no mass of red tape to be
encountered to profit by the new sys
TEN; all that is necessary is to
comply with a few simple rules as
the following:
In ordering dress goods, silks or
colored goods Tor any article where
particular color is wanted be certain
to specify the exact shade or send
sample in and the merchant VIII see
that you get what you ordered.
When ordering shoes, hats, dresses
waists coats, suits, or anything that
requires a perfect fit, be ca eful to
give your correct size and Ikenosha
firms will be sure to send you just the
size you ordered.
By conforming to the simple rules
your order viii be sent out in many
cases on the same day received, and
will be delivered to you ON the
following day.
Here is list of things that can be
purchased by parcel post as easily
and to the same advantage as at the
store itself.
Hardware Set of a dozen pie tins,
meat grinders, cutlery, bolts, tools,
locks and many other things.
Jewelry--Practically everything in
jewelry may be ordered by parcel
post
Furniture Pictures, bric-a-barc,
curtains, rugs, etc.
Dry goods Dress goods, ribbons,
corsets, patterns.
Ladies clothing-Coats, suits, dress
es, shoes, hats childrens wearing APP
parel, and in fact everything desired.
The idea is by no means confined to
the above mentioned stores but can
include mems clothing stores, wall
paper and paint stores, shoe stores,
grocery stores, confectionery stores
and bakeries.
