Koos MAKES SPORT IN COURT
North Side Tanner Arrested for Assault
and Battery Pays Fine Monday.

William Koos, connected with a
north side tannery, brought little
sport into the municipal court on Mon
day afternoon4w he was arraigned
on a charge of assaulting John Barner,
laborer. Koos told the court that he
had plugged the man on the noseo
when he attempted to stir up discord
among other men employed by Koos
and when the court insisted on more
details, Koos referred him to the COM
planning witness. 81 guess it was the
thirteenth of the month and that was
the reason punched him, = said Koos
The plaintiff, witha badly bruised nose,
declared that Koos had popped him on
the nose ten times, and Koos said his
memory had been that it was eight.
times, but that he was willing to pay
for the other two punches if the court
saw fit. The court did see fit and as
sessed fine of So and costs which Koos
promptly paid. Later the defendant
sent the judge frst-class cigar, "Just
accept this for quick service,' was the
message of the defendant to the court.

State Law May be Passed to
Provide for Printing As
sessments on Incomes.
HIT At DISSERTATION OF SUNDAY

Inc income tax was discussed quite
fully in various phases between mem
bers of the tax commission and vari-
Gus members of the legislature at a
hearing of the finance committee at
which several bills which have been
offered as amendments to the income
tax law were talked over.
One of the most important Of the
bills discussed was the measure of
Senator Perry, which provides for the
publication of the names and the
amounts assessed on all taxpayers who
pay an income tax. Mr.. Perry said
that he thought this bill was no more
than right, and that the public should
know who paid the income taxes and
who did not, and that he supposed
there were as many tax dodgers I'M
der the income tax as under any other,
and that he believed in q thorough
collection Of the tax.
During his address Mr.. Perry took
occasion to say that portion Of the
names had been published this year,
and he intimated pretty strongly that
they had been published at time
when the publication would be valu-
able for political purposes and could
be considered to have political effect
He said that if the names of some of
the tax payers, with the amounts they
paid, were to be published, he could
not see why the names of all the tax
payers should not be published. Sena-
tor Teasdale also appeared before the
committee and discussed several Of the
bills that he has proposed on the sub
ject of amending the present income
tax law. He produced a long array of
figures which showed how the income
tax law had operated in Monroe
county
One of the most interesting COM
mittee sessions of the day was before
the assembly committee on labor on
the one day in seven rest bill which
has been drawn by the committee.
The bill was strongly supported by the
Rev. J. III. Davidson of the Sabbath
Rest Association, who argued that
Sunday was the natural day Of rest
and everyone who could be given Sun
day should be given that day of rest.
Among the opponents of the bill was
the Rev. Mr.. Reid, Seventh Day Ad-
ventist, who opposed the designation Of
any special day in the week as rest
day and claimed that this should be
left to the man himself and not by
fixed legislative enactment. Represen-
tatives of the street railway and rail
road companies operating in the state,
pointed out some features of the bill
which they said would make it diff
ficult for them to furnish necessary
transportation facilities on Sunday.
All of the railroad men and street rail
way men claimed that as far as posi-
BILE their men were given rest days so
that they did not have long continued
stretches of employment.
A capitol employee, named H. c.
Quayle, argued that one rest day in
seven should be given to all working
| men, but did not think that Sunday
should be favored altogether in places
where the employment of men was
made necessary by the needs of the
public, such as in the railway train
and street car service.

For Better Ranking.

FBut let us direct our attention
briefly to the significance of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation report. To put
the matter into a nutshell, what would
Wisconsin have to do in order to stand
first in every particular mentioned in
this reports The reply can be given
almost in a single work, namely, dou-
Bile our expenditures of money for
educational purposes. We would have
to double our teachers salaries. We
would have to more than double our
investment in school property. We
would have to more than double the
expenditures for every pupil. In the
matter of taxation, on every one humid
red dollars of assessed valuation of the
state, it would be necessary to in:
crease by two or three fold. All this
we should have to do if other school
systems stood still in this matter of
expenditure of money.
"There is one other thing we should
have to do in order to make entirely
sure of our ranking. 1t would be nee
essary largely to increase our school
attendance. When this is said the
whole story is told as to what Wiscon-
sin must do if she wishes to rank well
in the next Carnegie Foundation
report.

cit should be explained that this re-
port takes children from the age of FIVE
to eighteen and on that basis nearly
twenty-five per cent of our children are
not in school. Many children do not
enter at five and many drop out of
school in the years between fourteen
and eighteen. We have almost iden-
tically the same ratio Of children not
enrolled in any school that Minnesota
has. Those who have been using this
report so freely have not been careful
to explain all these matters to the
people.
If the state really wants to work
for q high ranking in such per cent,
let me repeat, the thing to do is for
the people to vote great deal more
money locally and for the legislature
to increase greatly the appropriations
for school purposes SO far as it re-
lates to our elementary schools. It
should be borne in mind that it is not
simply the country schools that are
considered in this report but the
graded schools also.
Wisconsin is sadly handicapped as
compared with Minnesota for example,
for the reason that Minnesota has a
permanent school fund of twenty one
million dollars as against our four
millions.

standing educationally, used in the re-
cent contest for the state superinten-
dency received attention by State
Superintendent Cary in a formal state
ment today. Mr.. Cary says:
Educational Standing.
1--WE have heard much in political
way in the last few weeks regarding
Wisconsin's educational standing. 1t
has been shouted from the housetops
that we rank Jyenty-eighth as to. our
educational system. AS political bunk
such statements are not worth mo-
ment's consideration and from that
point of view would not dignity it by
SO much as reference. However,
there is no question in my mind that
the people who got out this report
were entirely innocent of politics and
had in view simply the publicity Of
certain educational facts of general
interest. / presume nobody in the
state of Wisconsin has any idea that
our rank educationally is twenty
eighth. This is not altogether a mat
ter of blind state pride or prejudice.
Certainly any well-informed person
knows that in the matter Of efficiency
we do not rank twenty-eighth, but, on
the other hand, nobody knows def
nitely where we do rank.
"We do know this, however, that
to bring up any country school or any
city system of schools to high de-
gree OF efficiency and maintain that
standing is an extremely difficult task,
$50 difficult indeed that it is rarely
accomplished to the satisfaction of in
telligent critics. To bring up the
schools of whole state to high de-
gree of proficiency is task that re-
quires tho cooperation of whole
state and it required that emphasis
should be placed where the emphasis
belongs. To say that Wisconsin
schools, even the best Of them, are far
below what we all earnestly desire
they should be is to utter merely a
truism.

Flies Forerunners Of PestiIsnce

NNNt WV W N'"ffEf'"N
Mrs. T.. P. Turner, Chairman
Rural Homes and Schools. Farm
Life Commission says regarding
the fly:
The fly il the undertaker's
travelling salesman and II is an
able servant of the grim monster,
death. This is the fly season
and eternal vigilance is the price
of health. Every house should
be well screened and a vigorous
war of determination should be
waged on every fly that crosses
the threshold. 1t has been esti-
mated that if every person would
kill ten flies per day for thirty
days there would be no flies upon
the face of the earth. A swarm
of flies lowering over the table
and communicating the victuals
with slime and filth is desease
entering the home.
Files are the forerunners of
pestilence. the advance agents of
the doctor and they make bust
ness for the undertaken. There
are many ingenious devices for
trapping the fly and for protec-
ton against their entering the
house and all effective agencies
should be employed in fighting
this arch enemy of health.
Everp day should be fly day at
the home. Kill the fly; remove
all filth; destroy decaying veg
citation and stamp out the breed
ing ground of the f1y. "
