DECLINE INVITATION FOR SUIT
State Commission has Eliminated this
Tax from Schedules for the Present
Year and County will spend no Money
Seeking to Collect for the Past.

The holders OF bonds of Wisconsin
and out of state corporations will
probably escape the payment of in
come taxes in the future so far as Ke-
nosha county is concerned and the
amounts assessed against these people
as income taxes will probably be order
ed written off by the state tax COM
mission.
For the past four months the county
treasurer has been busy making an ef-l
fort to collect the income tax charged
against the bond holders of the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company,
large slice of which was credited to the
Kenosha income tax list in the report
of the state commission year ago.
Under the Instructions of the county
treasurer District Attorney Drury had
taken up the matter. He sent -courte-i
GUS note to the attorneys for the COM
pany in Milwaukee and received just
as courteous reply from them, de-
claring they would be ready to - hck''
suit aimed at the collection of these
taxes at any time that the county Of,
fcials saw fit to start the action. The
bond holders of the Knickerbocker Ice
amount assessed against them in thes
town Of Salem has been paid, but it is
probable that these people will begin
an action against the county TO recover
the amount paid. The attorneys for the
bond holders of the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company asked that the coun-
ties of Racine, Milwaukee and Kenosha
pool interests in the bringing OF the
suit but it is not thought that even
this action will be taken. Joseph e.
Dalton assessor of incomes in speaking
of the matter this morning, said:
9'The collection of this tax does not
seem to be particularly favorable for
Kenosha county. The district attorney
has discussed the matter with me and
I am not ready to urge the expenditure
Of any money for coutr action. An ex-
animation of the returns for the in
come tax for the year shows that the
state tax commission has not returned
an assessment against the bond holders
of the Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company or the Knickerbocker Ice
Company for this county and suppose
that the same is true of the other
counties. This would appear to indi-,
cate that the commission is pretty well
satisfied that the state can not collect
this tax It seems plausible to me
that If the state could not collect the
tax this year that the same would have
been true last year and that for this
reason any suit which might have been
planned has been taken care of by the
action of the state commission on this
years income tax LIST. The matter is
in che hands OF the district attorney
and he viii undoubtedly be fully adj
vised before he acts further in the
natter
1t is said that this view has been
taken Of the matter in several other
counties. The amount Of this tax is
close to $4,000 in Kenosha county and
it represents the large majority of the
income taxes now outstanding,
