LOCAL FIRM LOSES.

Advice from Madison received Tues
day report that the local circuit court
has been reversed in Canale Co. VS..
Pauly & Pauly Cheese Co. The local
house had some dealings with the Can
ale Co. OF Memphis about 3 years ago,
involving prospect contract for the
sale by the local people of 100000
pounds of cheese at l44 cents. The
market jumped to 16 cents in few
days and the Memphis people demand
ed delivery.
Pually and Pauly claimed there was
no agreement to sell and the Memphis
company sued for about $500. De-
PENDANTS set up that Wisconsin law
would govern any such contract if
there was one because Wisconsin was
the place of performance and that any
such agreement would be void in this
state because not in writing. Plain
tiff claimed it would be governed by
Tennessee law because the contract
was made there. A writing is not re-
quired in that state. The circuit court
decided for the defendant, Pauly &
Panty, and the Memphis firm appealed
few days before the statutory two
years had expired. The supreme
court has now reversed this and order
cred judgment for Sl250 for the plain
tiff. The decision has not been receiv-
ed here, but reports have it that Jus.
tice Timlin dissented, not uncom-
mon occurrence, lawyers say.

A WORD ON The CITIZENS ASSN.
To The Editor:

To The Editor;
Allow me space in the col
umns OF your paper to express lew
thoughts on the Citizens Association.
As one Of the organizers of this as
sociation and its secretary ever since,
| point with pardonable pride to what
the association has accomplished since
it was organized, although | do not
want to take the space to enumerate
what actually has been done. Our dues
are only two dollars per year and
venture tu say that there is not single
live commercial organization in the
state with dues as low as ours. When
attended the meeting Of commercial
secretaries OF the state at Milwaukee
last fall, the question OF dues was in
formally discussed and found that in
towns Of 5000 inhabitants, the mem.
hers pay as high as ten dollars per
year TO commercial organizations, and
In cities of the size OF ours all the way
| from ten to twenty-five dollars per
year is paid But in spite Of the fact
that our association has actually deli
vered the goods, it is a deplorable fact
that our membership has decreased
from about $50 to $50 members who
actually paid dues in 1918.
Here, | cannot refrain from refer
ring 70 one class OF men and that is the
professional men. While it is fact
that small number Of our profession
al men are loyal members, always
ready to spend their time and money
for the up-building Of the association
and our city, II is also a fact that only
about ten percent of our professional
men belong 10 the association, al-

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The verdict in the Krejci case, being
claim against the estate ofclaimant S
mother for services was a complete
victory for the claimant. The jury
gave him $l05O, virtually all he asked.
Some legal questions remain to be set
tied.
Franzmeier VS.. Brasch was the last
jury case tried at the term. AS the
juries were still out in two preceding
cases when it was started there were
only veniremen available and by stip-
ulation these s tried the case. Franz
meier, an implement dealer at Newton
was given $4,000 for a manure spreader
and 800 for some oil, a complete vic
tory for him.
The only contested cases tried by
the court without a jury were Willing
er VS.. Polivka and Junker VS.. Groelle.
| The court has both matters under adj
visement. The former of these is an
attempt to collect claim for merchan-
disc alleged to have been sold by JOS
eph Mlada, now deceased. Mr.. Will
niger brings the action as administra-
tor of the Mlada estate.
The Junker suit is an action invol-
wing the question of whether a certain
ancient right of way over private lands
in the town of Newton still exists.
This week the court has been busy
with the usual long list of defaults
mostly divorces.
The penalty imposed upon the Pea
Gamers company by the court for ad-
mitted violations of the "hours of en-
ployment" law last summer was the
minimum of $1,000 for each otfense
making the total fine $4,000. The
court made it clear that the minimum
was imposed only because of the rec
concentration of the attorney general
and district attorney.

TAX COMPLAINTS.

Complaints OF excessive taxation
multiply. Said Madison citizen Sat-
urday:
"In July last sold house between
the capitol and university for S7,4O0.
Mind you, in July. Prior to that time,
in May, it was assessed at $7,500-just
$400 more than it sold for two months
later! The buyer did not know of the
assessment at the time, nor did |. Tax
es on that property this year were
1925. How's that for high valuations!
| Another instance: A Madison man
owns two lots in Blooming Grove.
Last year his taxes were Sl2, u; this
year they were considerably
more than double. "This," says the
owner, sis the biggest increase | have
heard of.
Still more. Said yet another resi-
dent: 81 own an old house in the
first ward. 1t really is pretty old.
Ten years ago my taxes on it were
S26 That was just at the beginning
I ~ the 30 ,alled reform which is raging
TOO ~ now. This year my taxes
on that same property, which is older
and in worse shape now than it was
then, are S76,--a little more than dou-
BILE. This in ten years.
WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM.
Near city hundred miles or so
north OF Madison lives fine old farm
or who hsd son graduate from the
agricultural department of our univer-
sity two years ago. Upon finishing his
course the boy had an offer of an assist
ant professorship in agriculture in a
southwestern university, but he declin-
ed /. and went back to the farm.
"My father is farmer, my grand
father was and want to be. 1t may
he that am making mistake in re-
turning to the old homestead but that
is my inclination and so will do it,.
Thus he spoke just before gradua-
tion.
A few days ago he and his father
came in to pay taxes on the farm.
They were $3.50! 1t took the proceeds
from the sale of his entire herd of hogs
to meet the bill and then the father
had to go to the bank and borrow
something in addition. The son was
dunn bfounded.
Father" he gravely said, "I'm
afraid I've made mistake. / know
how we have worked 365 days on the
farm this year and we have had good,
wholesome, comfortable living, but be-
yond that the state practically takes all.
Now can't see much reason for stay
ing on the farm. We get little out of
it but bare living We have almost
no luxuries, nothing but hard work; and
what we might put into luxuries, into
better living, goes too taxes. | doubt
whether shall stay, can do better in
town-better at teaching; and | think
that opening is not entirely closed to
me yet. If 1t is some other probably is
not. I'm going to leave if such taxes
continue. We wonder why boys leave
the farm. AT the university they
taught us not to do so, but these taxes
are distouragement which no teach
ing can offset. They are the greatest
possible force to dissuade boys from re-
turning to the farm From Madison

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session.
All members were present.
Fixing salaries took long time.
The finance committee made its annual
report on salaries. The report rec
commended raises for hremen and po-
licemen OF $3.50 per month. Scherer
amended to raise policemen $500 per
month. The question was vigorously
debated. The amendment carried, 8 to
and the motion to adopt the report
as amended to 5. 1t was supposed
that the matter was disposed of but
some aldermen then objected stating
that they had thought they were vo-
ting only on police salaries SO a motion
to reconsider the whole thing carried.
Then the fun began. 1t was moved to
take up each office separately. A mo
tion to raise the police $50 per year in
stead OF $50 as recommended, champion
ed by Scherer, lost to 6. An attempt
by Kapitz to raise the city physician
from 500 to $500 per year lost 9 to 5.
Thorisin then fought against the rec
commended increase for fremen and car
ried his point TO u and they remain as
heretofore.
Bigel then started a protest against
the proposed raise of poor commissioner
from $240 to 5000 but the increase went
through to 8. Smugler and Rugow-
ski hattled for this raise.
Frazier, chairman OF finance, was
getting peevish over his carefully pre-
pared recommendations being chaleng-
ed and ironically moved that the time
honored annual stipend of 800 to each
alderman be cut to $50. 1t carried 8
to6. McKeough said "Now pick out
the politicians. Thorison later moved
reconsideration and it was put back
at 800, 10 A. The noes were Schro-
eder, Frazier, McKeough and Gecrgen-
son. Sealer Mulholland personally
pleaded for a raise and he was boosted
from $500 to $400 year by vote of 10
to 4. The matter OF combining his Of
fee with that of poor commissioner
will come up later.
The entire salary Recommendation as
fixed was voted on and carried IL TO l.
Kapitz alone voting "No" which lie
then changed.
Each salary was thoroughly threshed
out and some opinions frankly aired,
Zeman argued against every raise.
The mayor breathed easier audibly
each time tie was avoided. A runn-
ing debate between Thorison and Bigel
over the firemen's raise WAS entertain
ing. Other salaries were left as they
were.
The salaries as fixed are as follows:
