Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1914-01-16

A convention of representatives
of executive and commercial inter-
ests of the counties of northern Wis
consin' has been called to meet at
Amigo Thursday, Jan. 20, to consider
the Importance of terminating for
ever the question of a change in the
location of the state fair by securing
legislation that will place it perma-
nently at Milwaukee; to recommend
to the State Board of Agriculture the
fixing of dates for holding this fair
late enough in September to give
the counties of the northern part OF
our state chance to exhibit fully
matured products, and to take con-
certed action for better representa-
ton in exhibits, in attendance and
in support of the state fair.
A later date would certainly be a
great deal better for exhibits from
upper Wisconsin, which will benefit
more from a good fair in the way OF
interesting prospective settlers than
any other portion of the common
wealth. We also think Milwaukee is
the place where the fair should be
held and, while unable to be present
at the convention, we are heartily in
accord with those who are behind the
project.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.

then visible in the east couple of
hours before sunrise and must have
produced strikingly beautiful appear
ance and have been spoken of as one
object. That was about fifty days less
than two years before the death of
Herod, a fact which harmoniZes we'll
with other conditions of the narrative,
for it is probable that the mandate
for the slaughter Of all the children
two years old ana under was issued
some months before his decease, and
the limit of two years would leave an
| ample margin for any uncertainty as
to the time of the appearance of the
star. as related by the magi; also there
were no paschal full moons ON a Fri
day between the years 3. g. and
A. d. SO and no other following that
till A. d. 60.
From this it would seem to follow
that Christ was thirty-eight years old
at the time of the crucifixion, and this
would vindicate the sagacity of the
Jewish doctors who affirmed that he
was not yet fifty forty: years old. 1t
is remarked. too, that in the spring Of
the same year there was triple con-
junction Of panetS-Saturn. Jupiter
and Mars-and that the first two
named were in conjunction as seen
from the earth no less than three times
in the year preceding-that is, B. c. Z.
Another theory about the star Of
pnfhlnhNy, vhioh hoC hnnr, cd mood
is that the star seen by the magi is
Spica, the leading brilliant In the con-
stellation of Virgo. the Virgin For
many years before and after the
Christian era the star was changing
it's place until it was then literally a
'star in the east" and it's movement
in that direction may have been the
very fact noticed by the wise men of
some centuries preceding who expect
ed that the prophecy about the Virgin
would be fulfilled when it's principal
star reached the position noted. If
this were SO the visit of the magi from
Bactria, in the far east. is easily ex-
planned, and the chief difficulty attend
ing the explanation lies in the fact
that such an important search as they
undertook is noticed by only one out
of the four evangelists.
The uncertainty Of the centuries in
regard to the date of the Nativity in
year and month may never be cleared
up. Its existence has been unfairly
cited as reason for disbelieving the
whole narration. The people of 1000
years ago attached little Importance to
dates. except current ones. and it may
be remembered that the destruction
of Jerusalem occurred between the
time Of the Nativity and the writing of
the gospels, at least in the shape in
which it has come down to US.

The First Christmas
M L otter has been stated that the
81 birth of Christ must have occur
@ red four years before the date

W T otter has been stated that the
IA birth of Christ must have occur
M red four years before the date
fixed on for the current chronicle
gy and that it is probable the event be-
fell at some other time III the year
than few days after the winter sol
stice. The reason for the confident as
serti0n is the ascertaining of the fact
that HerOd died about four years b. c.
The basis of this suppoSition is the
report that at the time of the birth Of
Christ there were shepherds abiding
Pm the field, watching their fiocks by
night" a circumstance not natural in
the latitude of Bethlehem near the
shortest day. That is the height of
the rainy season in Judea. and the
date does not appear to have been OBJ
served generally before the fifth cen
fury.
Many students OF Biblical history
have argued that the story about the
star of Bethlehem points to a date for
the Nativity not later than May g.
B. G.. 6. On that date the planets
Venus and Jupiter were so closely in
conjunction as seen from the earth
that the apparent distance between
them was equal only to the breadth of
the full moon. These planets were

This week the Budget is printed

Editor Henry T. Roethe, of the
Fennimore Times, who is member of
assembly from his county, has an
nounced his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. His
platform, Economy and Lower Tax
es," ought to be good vote getter,
as the unusually high state tax this
year has aroused considerable pro-
test.
Mr.. Roethe, in his announcement
says the people of Wisconsin are
slowly but surely being taxed to
DEATH" and that "the extremely high
state tax has awakened them to the
stern necessity of doing something to
stop the rapid and enormous increase
in taxes
The editor-legislator also says 81
pledge myself, if elected governor,
to veto every bill that creates new
office, board or commission" The
last statement We cannot endorse.
1t is too broad. Economy is all right,
but there is an extreme to every
thing. If a law should be proposed
that is meritorious the fact that it
would create an office should not be
enough to defeat it if the end sought
is worth the cost.
While the state tax is much high
err than we have been accustomed to,
and while there is doubtless plenty
of opportunity for retrenchment, it
does not necessarily follow that the
people of the state would benefit by
a lowering of the state tax, if it
was done at the expense of reforms
that are worth to the people of the
state all they have cost. 1t would
seem that some of the commissions
could be combined to effect economy,
without serious loss of efficiency. 1t
also seems that there is at present a
duplication of inspectors that could
be done away with to some extent.
Perhaps some commissions could be
done away with entirely.
However, the enforcement of many
of the excellent reforms that have
been enacted into law in this state
in recent years requires the services
of commissioners, inspectors and
other employees, and the people of
the state will not stand for their re-
peal to save the expense of admins
tration, unless it can be shown that
the cost of administration is greater
than the resulting benefits are worth
The question should not be whether
our state tax is high or low as COM
pared with other years; it should be
whether the money is we'll spent. If
there is needless waste, stop the
leaks
In passing, let us remember that
only about one tenth of the amount
that each Ladysmith taxpayer will
pay this year is state tax, and we
get some of it back at that.
