thel,e meetings in the basement as
no outsider yet has been able to break
into the s'inner Circle
No one seems to know just who is
at the head of the cult at the present
time, but the opinion prevails that it
is controlled by several elders. Mem
bers of the other factions in Zion who
do not find enough "depth' in their
own factions are swelling the member
ship of the Gift Of Tongues cult, and
it is thought that in time it may be-
come one of the leading factions in
the city.
One does not become a full fedged
member of the cult until he has re-
ceived the gift, which means that
he must be able to converse in some
language other than his own which is
unintelligible to himself and all Others
for that matter. The members of the
faction claim they find grounds in the
Bible for their queer doctrine. One
new convert, a professional man, is
said to have developed a facility for
speaking Chinese. Others talk In
dian, ETC., or at least that is what
their sabbering is said to be.

OF the legislature. The Bell company
has claimed that the present license
fee which it pays upon its gross earn
ings was burdensome tax, and there
was a bill before the legislature early
in the session to reduce the license fee
paid by the Bell company. The meas
ure did not receive very much recog-
milton, however, and was slated for in
definite postponement early in the SEES
sion. Another bill on the same sub
ject had for its object the taxation of
telephone companies on an ad valoreIn
basis, but this bill also has not seemed
practicable as it was thought it might
be, and as result the telephone taxa
ton legislation passed by the legisla-
ture two years ago is likely to stand
for another two years at least.
The fact that there has been little
cont st over telephone legislation at
this session Of the legislature has ex-
empted this legislature from one series
of fights which has always been of in
terest at previous sessions when the
rivalry between the Bell company and
the independent companies has gen
orally gotten before the session in some
form or another which attracted a
great amount of attention.
In fact, the telephone legislation
which has been before this legislature
has not been Of character which at
tracted any attention at all or created
any great amount of discussion. There
have been very few telephone people
in Madison during the session, new
departure from the old days, when the
Bell company and the independents
were fighting legislative factors.

old LEADERS MAY RETURN
Men Who Are Active in Strange Cult
Insist That Many Prominent People
Are Interesting Themselves in Teach

The Gift of Tongues faction of Zion
City, conceived, nurtured and brought
into robust life by Charles Graham,
from which the cult later derived its
name, but which has lain dormant for
the last few years, or ever since Par
ham packed up his belongings and left
for greener fields, has again come into
It's own in Zion. The membership is
being swelled almost daily and among
the latest converts are some of the
cltys' most prominent citizens.
1t is current report that we'll
known professional man. one who has
been before the public eye for several
years, is now an ardent supporter of
the movement Two former city Off
cials also are said to be numbered
in this rejuvenated following.
For long time this faction held
meetings in different homes about the
city. These meetings would be at
tended by perhaps handful Of peo-
pie at times, but the persistent efforts
have born fruit and now fine little
brick church has been erected on
Twenty street near the Col
lege building. Meetings are held there
several times a. week.
These m 5etings consist of two kinds
one for the public whose curiosity
may attract them to the little church.
and the other for the faithful whose
search after the light of truth is
known to be genuine. The public
meetings are held in the main part of
the church and are said to be quite
tame
The 9real interesting meetings are
held in the basement of the church at
the close of the public meetings. Only
the faithful attend these meetings.
Here the mel..bers can roll about the
floor, shout, chant or chatter. which
ever way the spirit directs them. No
one knows exactly what takes place at

The reason for combining fire preven-
tion instruction with arbor and bird
day exercises in the schools may be
found in the report of the state. fire
marshal for the quarter ending March
9lst. During the period Wisconsin had
6l3 fires with an aggregate loss of
$Sl6,S30 and on examining the list of
causes as given by the fire marshal
with the possible exception of 70 ofaun-
known and 81 of suspicious origin and
the % from adjoining building fire loss,
there We're few fires that were not of
clearly preventable origin. The need
of education along the line of fire pre-
vention as shown by the single report is
too apparent to call for any extended
comment. Over three-quarters Of mil
lion loss in the first quarter of the year
is too high price to pay for ignorance
and carelessness.

Assembly Passes Bill to Sub
nit Suffrage Question to
Voters November, 1914
KENOsHA WOMEN LEAD FIGHT

Kenosha county equal suffragists
were rejoicing today over the news
received from Madison that the as
sembly on Thursday night had passed
the equal suffrage referendum bill by
a vote of 81 to "a. The bill, which
will undoubtedly be signed by the
governor, provides that the question
Of extending the right of suffrage to
women be submitted to the people of
the state at the general election to be
held in November of 1914.
The bill providing for the referen-
dunn was passed by the state senate
some time ago and Governor McGov-
ern has intimated that he will sign
it. In the vote Oh the bill it receiv-
ed the support of Senator Isaac T.
Bishop and Assemblyman Charles H.
Pfennig, the representatives of Keno
sha county in the two houses of the
legislature.
Kenosha county has been a leader
In the battle for and against the pas
sage of the bill and number of wom-
en- prominent in society in Kenosha
were at Madison to attend the vari-
Gus hearings on the bill. Women of
Kenosha, who were opposed to the
passage of the bill, sent strong pc
tition to the legislature against it.
Kenosha is regarded as one of the
most active counties in the state in
the suffrage fight and the passage of
this bill gives assurance that there
will be some real interest in the next
general election in Kenosha county.
The Kenosha Political Equality League
has already laid plans for contin-
ned fight to secure favorable consid-
Grafton Of the constitutional amend
ment In this county and the leaders
of the league are hopeful mat the
majority against the amendment at
the last general election will be CON
verified into a majority in favor of it.
The recent city election in Kenosha
showed decidedly increase in the
interest of women in the ballot. At
this election more women voted ia
Kenosha than has ever been known in
past elections.
There is no organization among the
women of Kenosha who oppose the
granting of the ballot to women, but
it is expected that one will be formed
before the real fight over the amend,
ment opens. Kenosha women are ai-
vided on The question of suffrage but
the division is one that has been pro-
ductive of intelligent discussion of
the big issue and personalities have
been kept out of the fight.
From now on it is expected that the
contest will be waged with some
vigor IN the city and it will be kept
before the public until the votes are
cast again at the general election.

Auto Owners of All States to
Unite in Fight Against
Paying State Fees.
WILL GO TO FEDERAL COURTS

The question Of carrying to the
highest court in the land the constitu-
tionality of the automobile registration
tax will be considered at the next
meeting of the executive board of the
American Automobile Association.
While there has been an acquiesence
for several years on the part of motor
lists in accepting this tax when the
money was employed in highways pro-
gress Of one kind of another, especially
in those states where it was paid in
lieu of personal property tax, the
Legislatures of the past winter have
shown such marked inclination to in
crease fees to an exorbitant degree
| that the A. "A. a. officers have taken
up the matter with the state divisions
] of the national body, with the result
that President Laurens Enos appointed
a special committee to prepare and pre-
sent report at the meeting to be held
in Baltimore, May s.
/ William FL. tHotchkiss, of New York,
/ is cha irman of the committee, with
Lewis r. Speare of Massachusetts, and
H. M. Rowe, of Maryland, as his as
sociates. Charles Thaddeus Terry,
chairman of the A. A "A. legislative
board, who has had much to do with
the framing of motor laws in many
parts Of the country, will assist the
committee in the preparation of its re-
port, which is going to be unusually
thorough.
| Where the registration tax has been
in lieu of all other, taxes, and the
money used exclusively for road main
tenance, as in New York State, there
has been slight objection on the part
of the motorists over the unconstitu-
tional discrimination against one class
Of road user, as long as the amounts
paid were within reason. The protest
recently has accumulated strength in
those states in which the owners of
4
motor driven vehicles are called upon
/ to pay registration tax, personal
property tax, and still another tax for
the driving of the car. Double taxa
ton and discrimination against one
class of road user are the two points
which invite attack on the ground Of
nconstitutionality.
i The case that may be carried up orr
ginated in New Jersey, which state
calls for three payments by the auto
mobile owner; registration of car, driv-
ing license land property tax. The A.
A. A. state organization Instituted the
suit, which has had adverse decisions
in the New Jersey courts.
