A States RankruptcY.

We are told that the enormous in
crease in the assessed valuation of prop
erty in this state does not imply high
err taxes. But wait. Let not the mat
ter be argued. Taxes will and must
be higher and the way is paved by the
enormous increase which the tax COM
mission has announced. This increase
amounts to about 1859, 000,0 600 over the
assessment of year ago. 1t is true,
that the rate has 40 bearing upon the
assessed valuation or vice versa yet we
are to have huge increase in taxes
Just the same. An anntal expenditure
for the next two years in state govern
ment of some 1000, 900 must be me.
by taxation. 1t does not make any diff
erence wether it comes partially from
corporation licenses or not, that is
taxation, and the people pay the whole
bill. The tax commission OF course is
not responsible for the crushing tax
burden which our people are paying
The legislature chiefly must shoulder
that onus; and the legislature, let it
be understood as we'll as the state gov
eminent, is republican; hence that party
is responsible for the bad plight in
which Wisconsin tax payers now find
themselves.
State Treasurer Henry johnson is a
pub lie official not given TO playing pol
itics. During the legislative session he
sounded a serious warning TO his breth-
rem that they were running wild with
appropriations and making no adequate
provision for meeting them, and again
latterly he has frankly proclaimed the
practical bankruptcy of the state which
must prevail from about November I'M
til next March. The fact of the mat
ter is, despite expert fallacies TO the
contrary, taxes in Wisconsin are ascend
ing at fearful rate and concurrent
with reform which largely is repre-
scented by multiplicity of commissions
which do nothing so certainly as add to
the complexity and cost of government.
In this situation the people can have
but single hope for relief, and that is
in politica! revolution. The time clear
ly has come for change at the state
house. Madison Democrat.

TOSSING the Caber.

One OF the strangest and most An
cient games Of Bonny Scotland Is
throwing the caber, than which there
is probably no more severe test OF
muscle and skill. says Popular Me-
chanics The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one Of the feature
events on the programs OF all athletic
contests. The caber is q long section
OF tree trunk, tapered so that 1t Is no
ticeably smaller at one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing it raises
the pole to a vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws it into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end OF
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such a way that the small end will
describe a half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber, having been
thrown In the manner described, lands
on the ground with its smaller end
farthest away from the throwing point.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1913.

Exports of American lumber are said
to be increasing rapidly. This isespec-
tally true of the Pacific Coast ports,
which are sending lumber in great gu
antilles 10 Hawaii, Samoa, the Phil
ippine Islands and TO Continental Asia
tic cities.
This business of exporting lumber
swells the totals of American trade and
means more activity for the sawmlll,
but it also means quicker exhaustion Of
forest resources. A timber statistician
recently has computed that the forests
of the United States originally covered
$50 1000, 900 acres, and that this area al
ready has been reduced TO the extent
OF 300 200, 900 acres The sawmills are
cutting deeper every year as the demand
for lumber grows, and it is estimated
that at present they are cutting three
times the amount of the natural repro
duction annually. In ten years the an
nual cut has doubled.
When these facts are considered, 1t
is not difficult to foresee time when
the expression timber is timber" will
be more meaningful than it is at the
present day. The nation has no part
ocular cause to congratulate itself on
the growth of its lumber exports. A
few generations hence this timber
which is going to oriental countries
will be needed at home.

Sleep and Altitude.

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount Of sleep should be rsgu-
lated by altitude Too much sleep.
they say, is as harmful As too much
food or drink. In low lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but up in the noun.
tains five hours is enough These sleep
specialists also ban the practice Of
remaining in bed in the morning, half
awake, and insist on the necessity Of
rising as soon as sleep fails. As \ re.
suit OF their announcements endeav-
ors have been made to form sleeping
societies in Switzerland for the pur.
pose OF regulating the amount Of sleep
to be taken In the differeAt districts.

FRED REEVES WOULD MAKE
DYNAMITE CAPS MORE SAFE
Attorney Well Known Here Has Method
Of Attaching fuse To Percussion
Caps-WiII Get Patent

According to Wenatchee papers Fred
Reeves an attorney Of that city has in
vented a percussion cap which would
be almost safe for those in whose hands
it might fall. The damage case OF a
few weeks ago when the city of We
natchee was sued for $4,000 as the re-
sult Of an accident from this source
caused Mr.. Reeves to turn his thoughts
toward some Improvements which would
make the dynamite caps more safe to
handle.
Since the case Mr.. Reeves has been
busily engaged on devising a patent
crimper for the cap and also rubber
blanket to be attached to the cap when
it is used in wet holes or in water.
The ordinary method Of crimping cap
is with a knife or by pinching it with
the teeth. Both of these methods are
dangerous and both take time. Mr..
Reeves invention calls for Sits made
in the cap with their sharp edges pro-
truding inward into the cap. Alter the
fuse is pushed in the sharp ends pre-
vent the fuse coming out again. The
cap to be used in wet holes is ridged
in two OF three places. A rubber band
or blanket is attached and prevents the
water from getting into the cap. All
miners and contractors having occasion
to use dynamite under water or in wet
mines appreciate the difficulty there is
in keeping the water out of the cap.
Under the Reeves patent there can be
absolutely no chance Of water getting
into the cap after the rubber has been
attached.
Applications for patent have been
forwarded to the United States patent
office and naturally Mr.. Reeves ex-
poets to make fortune from the little
device. E. J. Delaney has been work
ing with Mr.. Reeves as architect.

PEOPLE ARE CARELESS
WHEN ADDRESSING MAIL
"Nixie" Pile Gets Many Uncertain Mis-
sives-Stamps Will in Future Ex-
plain BeIated Correspondence

Efficiency Of postal clerks in deci-
phering illegal addresses is blamed for
increasing carelessness Of the public
in posting matter only partially ad-
dressed, according to an official letter
from Washington received at the local
postoffice recently, which gives in
structions intended to correct the evil.
Rubber stamps are to be supplied
to all postmasters bearing the words:
Delivery delayed on account of in
complete address," and all such let
tiers are to be so marked.
When an undecipherable address is
reached by the distributing clerk it is
thrown into what is termed the nike
pile and the clerk goes on throwing
mail from the pile before him. The
nike pile is then worked by the d.
rectory clerk, who takes the directory
and goes through the pile, often con-
sisting OF hundreds Of pieces, and
tries to find the proper address. This
often delays a letter for full day. The
new stamp will give the receiver the
reason why his mail was late and will
keep postmasters from having to an
swer kicks about delivery"
Omission of street numbers, room
numbers, where the address is in a
business building and designating
which corner of street intersection is
intended are sources OF trouble pointed
out in the letter and suggestions for
correction.
