What's the Use of High Taxes?

The Saturday Evening Post in a short
editorial reviewing the enormous inher-
itance tax in New York mentions the
squandering of state funds 50 that with
every increase of revenue there is still
a greater increase of the cost of the
state government. Then tine Post says:
''Why any inheritance tax if the
money is going to be squanGtered? We
wish some states would call years
truce on all sorts of new or increased
taxation and see whether they cannot
stop wasting the revenues they already
have. There ought not to be heavier
inheritance taxes until the states can
spend the money honestly and intel
Egently."
The above words apply with tgemen-
dOus force to the state of Wisconsin
just now The squandering of public
funds in enormous amounts to bolster
up a profiigate Progressive gang of tax
eaters the devilish ingenuity exercised
to devise all sorts of new schemes to
wiring more money from the property
owners this has grown to- be a
frightful incubus upon the people of
this state. What with the railroad
tax, insurance tax, inheritance tax, in
come tax, all sorts of special taxes and
the tremendous increase of general
property tax, we have an increase in
tax burden of thirty-two millions of
dollars since this progressive humbug
came to plague as twelve years ago.
But that is saying nothing of what
county and local taxation we are carry
ing besides. That, however, we vote
upon ourselves. What a spectacle it
presents of weak and gullible people
caught by the thimble-rigging methods
and cheap profession of lot of pro-
gressive shysters. And then to think
| that all this has been done under the
once proud, safe and conservative name
| of Republican, name the people
could once trust for an honest and
economical conduct of the state gov
eminent. Samuel j. Tilden once re-
marked when he was after the Tweed
gang, that ct is always safe to calcu-
| ate on the existence of rascality ano
| corruption when the public funds are
| wastefully used and undue taxation i:
| imposed.
| Apply that rule to the present ano
| all past Progressive administrations II

preceded them, and tell US what you
think about it. Fort Atkinson Union

RECOMMENDATIONS that the use oe
petroleum products for the kindling of
fires in ordinary stoves be prohibited
by statute are made in the annual re-
port of State Supervisor of Inspectors
of Illuminating Oils Louis F. Meyer,
submitted to Governor McGovern re-
Gently. These recommendations are
based on figures compiled by the de-
partment showing the number of acct
dents and total fire loss caused by the
use of kerosene in kindling fires during
the past year. A total of al accidents
caused the loss of 80 lives, the injury
of 95 persons and the destruction of
$53, 1853 in property, according to the
report. Not one of the 141 accidents
resulted from the violation of the So
called "red cam law or from the sale
of rejected or uninspected OIL All
were due to carelessness or some other
cause beyond the control of the depart
ment.

Is YOUR home where your heart is,
or where your hat is?'' We fear that
nova. days too many make their home
the latter place And it's because of
the lack of heart-feeling the gladness
that should go with the thought of be-
ing in the home circle. Home does not
signify a boarding place-not only a
place to eat and sleep-the home feel
ing is something better and more in
spring. 1t is there we should drop all
business worry-leave the world behind
and strive to make it haven of rest
and inspiration.

TAE State Geographical Survey has
lust issued a bulletin on the Geo
graphy and Industries of Wisconsin.

topography, transportation, natural re-
sources and the stage of development
of the state have influenced its indus
trial activities. This book is free to

receipt of 10 cents to pay the mailing
charges. Those who wish it can ob.
tain it by writing to the Geographical

 MUST PAY PENALTY
GOV. MANN REFUSES TO INTER FIBRE AND THEY ARE TO BE HANGED FRIDAY.

Richmond, Va, March 27-Just be- fore he left the city this afternoon for Trenton, N, J., Governor Mann again declined to commute the death sentence of Claude Swanson Allen,
 who will be executed in the state pris-
 on tomorrow morning vita his aged
 father, Floyd Allen, for their part in the Hillsyille court house murder on
 March IA, 1912. Friends of the Al lens made desperate efforts to have l the governor extend mercy to the younger prisoner and they even ask
 cd that commission be appointed to determine the justice of the plea for communication. Richard Evelyn Byrd,
 speaker of the nolIse of delegates, , urged the governor to spare Claude Aliens life. but without avail. Under Governor Manns orders, the gold medal which had been bought for Claude Allen was not presented to him and tonight it is locked in the prison superintendent desk. The medal carries the inscription flor bravery in defending his faghef. Tne claim of the defense was that Claude Allen did not begin shooting i'll the aiIlsviIle courthouse until he was forced to do so in his fathers defense.
 Final preparations have been made for the execution. which will take place shortly after 2 o'clock. Floyd Allen, whose nerve is quite unstTung, will go first to the death chair to be
 followed in few minutes by his son.

Use Hckara for Eczema and All Other
 Skin Troubles. If you suffer with skin trouble so that the itching seems unbearabie and the skin is so broken out that you are sensitive about it's appearance, do not think it is necessary to use some greasy, yile-smelling ointment or saIve.
 The modern treatment is Hoka-a, which is daily being used in treating the worst cases of skin troubles, and which contains no grease, Is pleasant to use and is so cleanly that 1t will not soil or stain the clothes The power of Hokara to quickly relieve any itching or burning of the skin and to make 1t soft, white and yelvety is almost miraculous.
 All minor skin troubles like pim- ples, blackheads, barber's itch, etc, quickly respond to Hokara, and even the worst cases of eczema, ulcers, salt rheum, and other chronic skin dis eases are successfully treated with Hokara.
 Improvement often begins with the first treatment and the trouble grows noticeably less each day until it en- tirely disappears, leaving tho skin in it's normal health and color.

EASY TO WIND THE SKEIN
Little Contrivance Does Away With
the Necessity Of Impressng
Small Boy or Girl.

1t Is unnecessary to dwell upon the
difficulty of winding skein OF wool
into ball without the aid of second
pair of hands, but with the simple lit
tie contrivance shown in our sketch.
this may be done with ease. and the
holder can be made in few moments.
1t merely consists Of piece Of
board in which number Of holes have
been made and into which pegs (ordi-
nary clothes pegs will answer the pur-
pose) can be firmly inserted.
Two picture rings cen be screwed
into the UPPER edges of the wood and
the holder can be hung upon the wall,
and in that case, the pegs should be
fastened in the holes at an angle point
ing upwards or the board with the
skein placed round the pegs can be
held in the lap or on the table and
so used, and the small sketch on the
right illustrates it in this position.
The object of having holes in the
