Miss Moyca Newell Former
ly of Kenosha Takes up
Suffrage Work in East.
JOINS STATE COMMITTEE

Miss Moyca Newell, one of the larg-
est tax payers of the city of Kenosha
and well known throughout Wisconsin,
has joined the ranks Of the active
workers of the empire state in the
campaign now on there for votes for
women Miss Newell makes her home
in New York, but is still a resident of
Wisconsin and during the suffrage
campaign here in 1912 made contri-
button to the campaign fund of the
Kenosha County Political Equality
League, but heretofore has herself done
no active suffrage work. She has now
accepted a position on the New York
city division Of the Empire state cam
paign committee of which Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait is chairman. This, of
course brings her into the firing line
Of the suffrage movement, as the cam
paign now being waged in New York
is second only in Importance to the
national issue of a federal amendment.
Miss Newell brings all the necessary
requisites to this important work, hav-
ing at her disposal, time, money and
ability, besides experience already
gained in political tactics during the
presidential campaign of 1912. At.
that time she was an ardent supporter
of the Democratic Woman S Club Of
New York, which with the indirect in
fuence at it's command helped ma
terially in securing for President Viii
son the large majority which he polled
in that state.

The January session of the board
did not bring great deal of interest.
Outside of the slaughter of the plan
for the building of a county work
house little of real interest to the tax
payers was brought up. The board
gave much of the day on Thursday to
the investigation of the annual audit
and the bill of Auditor Winke for ex-
ira compensation in his efforts to I'M
ravel the highway accounts was allow
ed. No formal action was taken on any
of the suggestions made by the auditor.
The board bowed to the order of the
court and allowed in full the bill of
DIR. George E. Thompson for the con-
Quoting of a post norton examination
and it is certain that in the future none
of these bills viii be turned down
without a careful examination and
conference with the claimant. The
board also allowed several other bills
of similar nature and held up for
similar causes.
The request of the sheriff that he be
provided with help in conducting his
Office was turned down. The sheriff
suggested that the county pay baliffs
for their attendance at the terms of
the circuit and municipal courts. The
members held that all claims of the
sheriff for help must be covered by his
contract with the county which was
renewed under the same terms as in
the preceding year.
County orders to the amount of 800
were declared outlawed" by the
board and the money which had been
set aside for the payment of these
orders will revert to the general fund.
The original list of uncalled for orders
was an unusually long one this year,
but members of the board took care
that Nancy of the orders were called for
before the final order was taken to
make them uncollectable.

Friends of Road Building in
City and County Opposed
to Proposed Action Now.
SEE UNUSUAL LEGAL TANGLE

The fight started by Supervisor Will
liam Luke of the town of Wheatland
to have the county board of Kenosha
county abolish the system of state aid
for highways in Kenosha county, which
is to be taken up again by the board
at the adjourned meeting in February,
has brought considerable Of a protest
from members Of the Kenosha Auto
mobile Club and other organizations in
terested in the building Of roads and
attorneys are being consulted with a
view OF putting up hard fight on the
question when the matter comes form
ally before the board for a vote. These
organizations hold that the mistakes of
the past two years in Kenosha have
been resultant Of individual mismanage-
ment rather than to a failure of the
system and they are using every pos
sible influence to prevent the state aid
plan being abolished There are on
the other hand many supporters of the
plan of Supervisor Luke. These men
have gone just as carefully into the
matter as the leaders in the battle for
good roads and they have declared
that home rule in road making will
bring the county just as good roads
as state aid.
It is just possible that the plan to
abolish the system will mean a butting
up against stone wall on the part of
the board. The county has no option
under the state law but to pay the tax
for highways assessed under the state
law and if this tax is paid to the state
the county must find some way to get
value received. There is no longer any
one who believes that the state is hand
ing any money that has not been col
lected in the county and if the county
fails to meet the requirements set by
the state the money collected this year
will be parceled out among other
counties in the state. The loss of
twenty thousand dollars year would
be hard loss to Kenosha county.
District Attorney Drury has been
appealed to by the members of the
board to look into the legal phase of
the question and make some report to
the board before final action is taken.
Ii it is found that Kerosha county
must continue to pay the big highway
tax to the state there is little doubt
but that the county will be forced to
struggle along under the state aid
system even though the members of the
board are convinced that it is a failure.

henosha now has its chance for the
real clean up of all its railway troubles
and it is hoped that the members of
the council will show little long
headed civic patriotism in dealing with
the question. The railway company
and the people are entitled to fair
treatment, but the big plans for Keno
sha's betterment and Improvement
should not be held up on account of
fancied wrongs Fictitious values
placed upon property should not be
considered minute by the members
OF the council. The property owner is
entitled to every cert his property is
worth, bat if he attempts the holdup
game on the railway company he IS not
entitled to any consideration at all.

MS CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE.

r is with pleasure we announce that James H.
Wright for many years our most prominent
merchants pubc-spirited citizens taken steps
looking to an active resumption Of business The de-
tails of his plan will be found in interview with him
in another column. No doubt IL will be read with SYM
pathetic interest by community in which Mr.. Wright
IS well and favoraby known
When, several weeks ago il was announced that Mr.
Wright because Of lack working capital reached
stage at which It necessary liquidae his bust
affairs there was widespread regret The hope
also freely expressed that after liquidation he
would be able TO resume. That hope seemingly Is to
be realized. II scarcely IS conceivable that he will
be unable in a community for the welfare OF which he
has labored long and unsefshy effectively az
member Of the old Board Trade and recently as
a member OF the new Chamber Of Commerce, to make
satisfactory arrangements for resumption of business
under conditions which will lead to success.
The fact should be forgotten that thousands Of the
most successful merchants In tho United States today
passed through the same distressing experience that
recently has beset MIR. Wright In other words they,
have wrung of failure. We do not have to
go outside our community to find instances OF
that sort
Mr.. Wright has among his assets one that is almost
beyond price That is the goodwill the people of our
city, State and Peninsula They admire him not only as
conception Of the material and other interests Of Del
mar'ia and who in the past has sacrificed both time
and money for their promotion conservation They
admire the pluck which mpels him re-estab-
lish himself IN the commercial world and wish him well
in the laudabe endeavor which shows that he refuses
to accept business as a business defeat
In common with the rest of the community we wish
him Well and hope that his confidence in the future will
be suitably rewarded by unqualified commercial success

KEEPING A PLEDGE.

DARTY pledges made to the people should be kept
The Republican party went into the last mu-
nicpa campaign committed. by the utterances of
Mayor Howell and other candidates, to a new and
equalized assessment With that one of the leading
issues its ticket elected by aatterng vote Fol
lowing the election and the inauguration Of the new
administration, the Republican officials addressed
themselves TO the work Of fulfilling that pledge They
worked early and late and. with the assistance OF
recognized experts completed the task What they
have done is being subjected to much criticism
particularly by Democratic politicians and taxdodgers
who have been brought 70 book It safe to assert
however, that while not perfect the new assessment
is perfect than any the city has had for many
years. In fact there those who assert that the
municipality never has had equitable assessment
as is the new which is arousing such widespread
discussion.
Many property owners whose assessments have been
increased recognize the fairness underlying such in
and accept them without critical comment Many
others have became accustomed TO having other
persons bear greater lesser part of their Just
burdens Of taxation that they cannot reconcile them
selves to the new order and are loud in their COM
plants. Most OF them will admit If pressed for am
answer, that even under the new assessment their
properties worth more than the assessed value
They SEEM however, be utterly unwilling to see the
Inconsistency between their complaints and such admis-
sions
The new assessment born of gross inequalities
IN the old assessment that had existed 40 long and
we're so fragrant that they had come to be a public
scandal The greater part OF the burden of city taxa
ton had been shifted to the small property owners
for the relief and benefit Of large property owners
particularly those holding vacant lands for specua-
tive purposes Recognition Of those things led Mayor
Howell and his associates the Republican ticket to
pledge themselves TO rectify them II elected They
were elected with that distinct understandings and
the new assessment made in obedience TO the
mandate of the people expressed in that city cleo
ton.
We are confident the assessment will work out
its own justification and ultimately silence those who
now are assailing IT, rule from purely selfish mo-
1--WE and not from the broad and patriotic impulse OF
good citizenship.
In short the assessment represents a pledge hon
esty and worthiy kept by a Republican administra-
ton which would have stutihed itself had It failed to
keen it.

One OF our most successful merch-

Stopping the little leaks of waste is
one OF the most essential elements in
the success of a merchant. Only n
little margin of waste in the handling
OF goods is necessary in order COM
pletely to dissipate the small margin
of profit, leaving the merchant with
only his labor for his pains.
IL is impossible to point to a single
successful merchant or manufacturer
