Lancaster last Wednesday and was
attended by delegates from all parts
of the county about go being present
The principal purpose of the meet
ing was the election of delegates to
the state camp which will meet in

county: o. j.. Bennett, Platteville,
Thomas Barker, Boscobel, and Thos

list of expenditures in my former
article was to give some idea of
growth in recent years. If state in
come from other sources was legiti-
mately used there would be no need
of direct state taxes, but conditions
in the state have been such that the
tremendous increases derived from
public service corporation taxes, in
surance taxes, Inheritance taxes,
income taxes, numerous license fees,
prize fight percentages, etc. have
proven insufficient to meet the in
creases in the demands of the ever
growing body of officeholders and it
has been necessary in addition to these
burdens, indirectly paid by the people,
to levy high direct tax upon them.
Mr.. Nagler, while admitting that
the tax is too high, blames the local
taxes as responsible for the great part
of the burden. Why doesn't he con-
tinue his candor and explain the
reason for excessive taxation locally :?
The excess of local tax is due almost
entirely to foolish state laws, intend
ed to further state Capitalization and
control. The excessive burdens of
bookkeeping and rendering reports
placed upon local officials in every
line by the commissions, in order to
have materials for the clerks to en-
ploy themselves upon, has made local
Office so hurdensome that salaries
must be raised as is shown by condi-
tions in this city. Orders of COM
missions, as for example the order to
the City of Lancaster to install
meters for all water users, if COM
piled with, means greatly increased
local expense. The state highway
law has easily added one-third to
local taxes. Under it each munich
pality must raise large amounts to
keep from paying the expense of
improvements in other towns, and
counties and much of it needlessly.
Grant County paid to the state this
year for highway taxes $32, $40. SO
and will receive back from the state
when work is completed $25, 100000,

LANCASTER'S BAND
IS NOW REORGAN|zED
Well Have City Band Concerts
This Summer After All
Most of the Old Members and Sew
eraI New Ones are Included
in its Instrumentation.

Lancaster will have a city cornet
band this summer, after all. When
the old organization disbanded, about
three weeks ago, and the money in
the treasury was divided up, it began
to look as though the weekly evening
band concerts to which Lancaster
people have been accustomed during
the past few years were thing of the
past, for the coming summer, at least,
but at meeting held for the purpose,
reorganization was effected and the
band membership is now larger than
before, most of the old members COM
ing back in and about ten new ones
being added.
The business management has been
undertaken by County Superintendent
J. C. Brockert, who will add new life
and energy to the organization, and
Prof. Harry E. Gross will be leader.
The Instrumentation will be as
follows:
Cornets-E. j. Morse, Elmer
Schmidt, Marcus Baxter, Chester
Croker, "Pete" Webb, Earl Sho-
walter and Doris Jerrett.
Clarinets- Ellis Schmidt, Will Nc
Coy, Burdette Weber, Paul Edwards,
Arthur Bailie and Ned Walker.
Altos Karl F. orion, Floyd Scott,
Otto Gulke, Clyde Goble, Maurice
Murphy and Evans Martin.
Trombones-Lloyd BROKER, Max
Blackburn, Hubert Alt, Geo. Behnke.
Baritones- H. Hyde and Roy
Fischer.
Tubas- Harry Holmes and Frank
Niemer.
Bass drum, Yves Cooley; snare
drum, Will Curley.
For the present the small building
south of E. H. Hyde's block, at the
southwest corner of the court house
square, will be used as a practicing
place and it is the intention to meet
twice week from now until the
latter part of May, when the concert
season will begin.
A good band adds much to the life
and reputation of city. This one is
in good hands and it is to be hoped
that it will be given encouragement
by all.

Many members of the state as

signed the petition also and it is
proposed to reduce the next tax levy
by about four million dollars through
retrenchment in state aid for high

GOVERNOR MAY CALL
A SPECIAL SESSION
Of the Legislature for Reduction
of High Taxation
Asked for by State Officers-Govern-
or Asks for an Expression
From the People.

The recent agitation by the tax
payers of the state and the emphatic
protests filed against extravaganza in
appropriations and the enormous
growth of taxation during the past
few years, is certainly making itself
felt. The politicians have their "ear
to ground" and are making mighty
effort to head off the wrath of the
voters in the approaching campaign.
1t is doubtful whether any of the
county conventions of taxpayers
throughout the state have had so
much to do in startling the job-hold-
ers as the one for Grant county re-
Gently held in Lancaster.
On Tuesday of last week a petition
signed by four of the state officers
Attorney General Owen, Secretary of
State Donald, State Treasurer John
son and Lieut.. Gov. Morris, was
presented to the governor, asking that
he call special session of the
Legislature to repeal certain ap-
preparation acts, with a view to re-
ducing state taxes.
The petition recites that lowing
to large expenditures for the new
capitol building, and to the new and
added tax for state aid for highways,
appropriations for buildings not
absolutely necessary at this time
should be repealed, and others, as
far as possible, should be spread over
the four-year period of construction
contemplated by the legislature. An
additional reduction of at least
ST, 100000 may be made in the next
tax levy by such repeal and postpone
ment of these appropriations.
The legislature should be given
opportunity to act upon present in
formation and to respond to the
present public sentiment as to high
way and public building and other APP
preparations. 1t is the plain duty of
those in authority to respond to the
public will. If mistakes have oc-
Cured, frank recognition should be
made and the same rectified.
'For 1913 the total levy, state,
county and local, for improvements of
state highway was 81, 800, 600, to
be expended in the summer of 1914.
1t is now claimed that such a large
sum cannot be economically expended
in one short season, and that the
proper administrative machinery can
not be provided.
Nevertheless, under the state aid
appropriation of 81, 200, 900 for the
fiscal year 1914, there will be another

STATE BANK
CHANGES OWNERSHIP.
BaSfOrd and Clark Purchase
the Controlling Interest.
Change Took Effect Monday When
New Officers Were Elected
ident George A. Moore Retires.

A somewhat surprising event in
business circles was that which oc-.
Cured Monday in the change of
ownership in the Peoples State Bank
of this city. Only few have been
aware that during the past two weeks.
Chas. H. Basford and Leslie A..
Clark, both of whom have for num-
Der of years been actively connected
with the First National Bank, have,
become the purchasers of consider
able quantity of the capital stock of
the Peoples State Bank. This in.
cluded the stock owned by the presi-
dent, Geo. A. Moore who now retires,.
and that of j. S. Wright, the vice.
president, in addition to which they
have secured enough more to give.
them controlling interest.
On Monday of this week a stock
holders meeting was held at the.
bank, resulting in the election of the.
following board of directors: C. H..
Basford, Peter Stoffel, Geo. B.. Glenn
VIM. Wetter and J. Harold Pugh. Later
the directors elected C. H. Basfordl
president, L. A. Clark vice president,
and ]. Harold Pugh cashier. Mr..
Pugh has been cashier since the,
organization of the bank in November.
1912, previous to which he was for
seven or eight years connected with
Chicago banks.
The new president and vice presi--
dent are too we'll known to the public.
to need any introduction. C. H. Bas-
ford has been a resident of Grant
county all his life, and prominent,
citizen of Lancaster over quarter of
a century. When he came here 80,
years ago from his home in the town
of Glen Haven he engaged in the.
mercantile business, and continued
in the business for about % years
Ten years ago he helped to organize
the First National Bank of Lancaster,
and has been connected with it in an
official capacity since 1907. When
that bank changed from a national to
a state bank last December he con-
tinued with it as cashier, resigning
that position only few days ago, at
the elimination of the present deal
Leslie A. Clark, the new vice
president, got his first experience in
bank work when he took position in
the Montfort StateBank at Montfort,
with P. T. Stevens, nine years
ago. He came here and entered
the employ of the First National
bank about six years ago and
was assistant cashier when he resign
ed few weeks since. He had expect
ed to engage with his father-in law,
Pat BARLEY, of Bloomington, and
others, in the organization of a new
bank at Columbus, Wis, but the OPP
portunity that was offered in the
change here proved nearer to his,
liking and enables him to remain in
Lancaster with an established bank
and where he is fully acquainted.
Mr.. BARLEY becomes one of the
stockholders of the Peoples State
Bank in the new deal.
Mr.. Moore, the retiring, president
is undecided as to his future plans,
but it is said he will probably not re-
engage in the business of stock buy
ing, which he had followed for a
number of years previous to the
organization of the bank.

sion of opinion as to whether they are
in favor of reducing the state ap-
preparation for highway aid, and if
so, how much; and whether they
think the governor should be given
the power to veto appropriations.
This is a foxy move upon the part
of the governor and in a measure is
designed to shift the responsibility in
the matter directly to the shoulders
of the farmers and make them 1.-THE
