IS a CHANCE FOR MORE TAXES
State Tax Commission Raises Yer
non Million and Half

Year by year Vernon, like all other
counties, looks calmly on and sees the
tax commission, from its throne in
Madison. boost real estate and personal
property valuations. And we do not
believe, from the light of late year ex-
perience, that there is one tax payer in
Wisconsin but may well surmise what
will follow. Increased valuation has
meant, and does yet, opportunity and
excuse for the levying of more extra
vagance, hence higher taxes.
Last year Wisconsin was equalized by
the state authorities at 81, 998, lS7, 705.
of this amount ST. 464, 094. FOG was real
estate, 1884, 092, 999 was personal pro-
perty. Now the valuations are fixed
at So, liz, 9S9, 154 .ealty and $3.50 006,

For Vernon county the big raise since
last year is 81, 455. 121. OF this $685.

met in Milwaukee, most of them law

Pile should know early that this move
means a purpose and determination to
continue the high-tax methods and ex-
travagances now upon the masses
They may call it progressive" or what
they will; it means a continuation of
our present tax ills. Do the people
want that, or would they welcome a

A WARNING WORTH NEEDING
Wisconsin Farmers Can Prevent a
Million Loss Next Season

Heavy losses from the destructive
white grub will occur in large areas of
Wisconsin in the summer of 1915, un-
less our farmers use every means to
prevent it." is the warning issued by
Prof. ]. G. Sanders, entomologist of
the agricultural experiment station at
Madison. The losses in 1915 promise to
be as great or greater than in 1912,
when 80 per cent Of the corn crop was
ruined. This trouble will occur every
third year until more efficient controls
are found.
Professor Sanders and other entomol-
ogists are trying, to work out better con-
troll methods, .b9< for the present the
following recommendations are made
to farmers for checking the white grub,
wherever the June beetles (the adult
stage of the grub were plentiful this
summer: /. Fall plew and drag i'm
mediately all fields where corn will be
planted next year. 2. Plant corn
again on 1914 corn land. 8. II viii be
comparatively safe to plant corn in 2
field with pure stand OF clover in 1914
a. Do not plant corn on sod lard plow-
ed up next spring.
