If Passed, Logs Will be
Taxed Where They are
on May 1st

Madison, Wis, May 9th, Especially
Further evidence of the desire OF
this legislature to keep the welfare of
northern Wisconsin in view of the
passage of the bill introduced by
Senator Tomkins, which changes the
system of taxing logs.
incidentally the Tomkins measure
which insures full payment of taxes
by lumber companies, has aroused
the ire of that industry and now
there is an organized effort being
made to pass measure revoking the
new law and replacing the old, the
one by which the lumber companies
are alleged to have evaded taxation.
Under the old system, logs nc
matter where they were, were on
May 1st taxed as manufactured pro-
duct and the assessment made at the
town. city or village in which the
mill was located. This system it is
maintained, besides furnishing oppor-
tunity for the lumber companies to
evade taxation by simply disclaiming
ownership of logs, in other taxing
districts where they could not be
discovered by the assessor, took hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in taxes
from the towns where the logs were
cut and received on May 1st.
Under the new law logs are taxed
on May 1st at the place they are cut
if still there, regardless of where the
mill is located and greatly to the
benefit of the northern towns and
counties where numbering is still a
main industry.
The measure met with strong OPP
position from the lumber interests,
but went through the senate with
but six votes opposing, while in the
assembly the opposition on the floor
was small.
Worsted in their efforts to kill the
measure, the lumber interests, it is
claimed, have taken different
method to secure return to the old
and alleged unjust system by drafting
new bill, the effect of which, claim
friends of the Tomkins law, would be
to kill the new measure and restore
the old form of taxing logs.
The division of the tax receipts
from interurban railways sixty-fve
per cent, to the towns through which
the road runs, twenty per cent to the
the counties and fifteen per cent to
the state is provided in bill which
passed the assembly.

Should Sprinkle Streets

There should be no delay in
making arrangements for the
sprinkling of the streets OF
Washburn. Spring dust is
laden with the winters accumu'
lation of filth and ought not to
be permitted to blow about.
The business men of the city
are willing that the streets in
front of their places Of business
should be sprinkled and they
are willing to pay the charges
for the same but the city coun-
Gil seems to be a bit backward
about making arrangements for
the sprinkling of the crossings,
The street sprinkler is behind
time every spring and this
should not be.

You are falling short Of it,
