Nan of CouraQe

The American people Iare thankful
that Woodrow Wilson is President.
They are with him in his policies
There never was time in the history
OF our country more critical than the
present The situation is full of
potentious possibilities. One road can
lead US to peace; the establishment
of permanent prosperity and practi-
cal control of the carrying trade of
the western hemisphere with the
world as an open market. The other
leads TO war With aIi OF its attendant
horrors, business panic, destruction
of our commerce, and the loss of
hundreds of thousands of our young
men. The country has confidence
that the President has the poise, the
craftsmanship and the everlasting
courage to choose the right road.
When the war in Europe is ended
it is to Wilson that the troubled
nations must look for the readjust-
ment of affairs. They too will be
thankful that he is at the head of the
only world power that was not in
volved and that he had wisdom enough
to keep out of the fight.
There is great work ahead for the
President and the American people
can well decide to stand with him in
his peace policies. We can each of us
do our humble share toward helping
him by voting for men who will give
him ungrudging support. You cannot
expect to help the President by voting
for his enemies

The Tax Question.

The attention of the tax payer is
directed to the state tax statement
published elsewhere in this paper.
When you come to consideration of
the fact that the direct state taxes
of this county have increased six
fold in eight years it is time for an
investigation. An increase from So
374.5l paid in the city of Wausau in
1905 to S38, 1862 paid in 1913 is spread
ing it on rather thick. 1t is pre-
dicted by those who are familiar
with state expenses that a heavier
state tax than that of 1913 is coming
TO us this year. Where will it all
end g?
Mr.. Phillip in his re-primary cam
paign promised to radically cut state
expenses and reduce the contiscatory
state tax and he secured his nomina-
tioL on that promise. After the nomi-
nation he repudiated that promise by
signing the republican platform which
makes no reference to reduction of
state expenses or reduction of state
tax. He goes further and asks the
people of this state to reward the
governor who is responsible for this
unwarranted state extravaganza by
eleVating him to the United States
Senate. Phillip is not only inconsis-
tent, but he is evidently playing both
ends and the middle in the hope for
office. His position gives no promise
OF relief from high taxes.
The democratic platform states
plainly and squarely that all extrava-
gance in state administration must
cease and points out how it can be
done without harm to the people.
Every candidate on the democratic
ticket is pledged to support the prin-
ciples of the platform. The only hope
the tax payer of this state can have
of relief comes through the election
of the democratic ticket.
The figures in the tax statement
referred TO are well worth your study.
They tell the story of reckless riot
of state expenditure.
If Marathon county wanted TO eX-
pend 100000 for some great emer-
gency or TO provide for some great
public building, we would look for a
bond issue to cover long term of
years that it might make it easy for
the tax payer; but the republican
state administration unblushingly
adds SIG, 1880 to our portion of the
state tax and asks us to cali 1t good.
We will take our tax receipts to the
polls this year.
The tax question is real live issue
and the election of the democratic
ticket affords the only avenue of re-
lief

Promises Economv.

Judge Karel told an audience at
Watertown last Wednesday that if
elected he would remedy abuses which
made taxes high. He said
''In making this declaration | mean
to convey the impression that the cost
of the government is abnormally high:
that there are too many offices, boards
and commissions, too many sinecures,
and that in many instances we are
paying salaries far in excess of the
persons who receive them.
I'm our declaration of principles
which are embodied in the democratic
platforms as submitted to the public
and on which / unqualifiedly stand,
we insist upon radical reduction in
state taxes, intending to abolish all
unnecessary boards and commissions,
and wherever possible TO consolidate
tn ose which remain, with the view of
reducing the cost of state govern
ment.
1.-THE public service must not, how
ever, be crippled by economy, neither
hhould it be swollen by extravaganza,
for extravaganza is legislative tyr
amy.
81 want 10 say that if | can not re-
duce state expenses and aid in elimi-
mating burdensome laws, | do not
want the governorship; and if sue
coed in being elected, and do not sue
coed in Kidding the state of all species
OF graft in its government and in re-
pealing all obnoxious laws, the failure
will be due to no fault of mine, but
will be the fault of the legislature,
for if | ever made up my mind to ac-
complish one thing in life, it is TO re-
duce the expenses of state common
wealth TO the lowest point consistent
with efficient government, providing
the people give me a chance to do

Gust The Tax WaSfer.

Farmers, merchants, manufacturers
and home owners, who have been
groaning under an unprecedented bur-
den of taxes and expressing desire
To clean out the tax MASTERS root and
branch and inaugurate an entirely new
deal, will have an opportunity in
November to get rid of the cause of
their troubles. The only available
remedy is the election of democrats
to every Office. 1t is speedy and
efficaciouS remedy, one which cost
nothing to try and yet promises sue
cess. A raise of twelve million dollars
in state tax in the short space of ten
years, or a tax increase of nearly
four hundred per cent, is not matter
which ought to be passed over lightly,
nor one which should be forgiven by
promises to do better. 1t is serious
matter, for it affects renter and wage
Garner as well as home owner. If
taxes go up they will carry rents with
them in their ascent. If the state
takes too literally out of the en-
ployer's cash drawer there will be
less for division among employer and
employee; so do not feel, Nr. Laborer,
that you have no interest in taxes be-
cause you have no taxable property,
as your shoulders wer early chosen as
the fulcrum to support the tax load

Petrcgrad, Oct. 13-The following
official communication from the Rus
Sian official staff has been issued:
"Our cavalry on the front attacked
and cut to pieces several bodies OF
German advance guards and took as
termination. (The place where the bat
tie occurred is not mentioned in the
statement)
During the lighting the Russian
standard bearer, Prince Oleg, a son of
Grand Duke Constantine, who reached
the enemy first, was shot through the
leg and slightly wounded
"On the front in East Prussia the
situation is unchanged. The Germans,
proflting by their railroad communica-
lions, are trying to hold the positions
they occupy in the vicinity of the
frontier.
Several engagements have taken
place on the left bank of the Vistula

National Association with Us.

When interviewed concerning his
trip to the national capital, state
chairman, Joseph Martin said:
81 am more than pleased with the
result of my visit. L received every
encouragement from the National
association. Any rumorS to the effect
that our entire ticket would not have
the support of the National Admins
tration are positively without any
foundation.
1.-THE president, the member of his
cabinet and all officials at Washing
ton with whom [ talked are much in
tereSted in the Wisconsin situation
and are anxious that we should elect
our state ticket as well as the demo-
cratic candidates for congress and our
candidates for the United States SEN
ate.
President Wilson will not deliver
any speeches during the fall cam
paigu, but his secretary of state,
William Jennings Bryan, will come
TO Wisconsin in behalf of the admin
istration for at least one day and pos
sibly two days during the campaign,
and urge the election of the demo
cratic candidates from the head of
the ticket down.
"From all sections of the state
am assured of party harmony and
every indication points to the cleo
tion OF a democratic congress which
will insure President Wilson the sup
port which he so well deserves, dur
ing the remainder of his term.

ELLIS USHER of Milwaukee in speak
ing of Wisconsin taxes again says:
In LaFollette'S Weekly of January
20 last, Prof. I. S. Adams of the Uni
verSity of Wisconsin and the state
tax commission. began his series of
articles on Wisconsin taxes. The pa
per assured its readers that the ar
ticleS might 'be accepted as the au-
lucrative analysis of trained Scien-
fist, whose only aim is TO present the
facts In the first paragraph of
Prof. Adams article. he said; There
is no room for argument about the
fact that local taxes are higher,
state taxes are higher Later, Mr..
LaFollette, in his own paper dis
credited Prof. Adams attempt TO
show how much we are getting for
our money, by saying that the Uni
verSity is costing too much. All
kinds of men, even those who are di-
rectly responsible for high taxes,
have since been running about, in
alarm, decIying high taxes, but at
tempting 10 Justify their results
This week l get verification from the
tax commission itself, of my oft re-
peated statement that even amid all
this hullaballo, taxes are still going
up, up, up. The state assessment is
at hand this week. Ii is sl74,S0l,-
449 larger than year ago. This in
crease is more than one-third as
large as the entire state aSSeSSm ent
of 1900. In 1905, Mr.. LaFollette's last
year as governor, the state assess
ments nave gone up also, with a few
rare exceptions. The tax payers may

selves in the hands of a new set of
legislative experts next winter,
about whom they know nothing.
