PRAISES HONOLULU.
Kenosha Soldier in Hawaiian Islands
Pleased With Service of Uncle Sam.

Kenosha Soldier in Hawaiian Islands
Pleased With Service of Uncle Sam.
The life of a soldier is not all work
and no play as some might think A
letter from j. Hnyka, a Kenosha boy,
with Company /. stationed a. Honolulu
gives a glowing description Of his
quarters and the city in The follow
ing letter written to his parents north
OF the city, Hnpka is enthusiastic
over the island and army life there.
Fort Shafter, Honolulu, I'll. T. April
10, 1914. Arrived from San Francisco
June 25, 1913, after eight days voyage
and found this to be a beautiful
country indeed, and the name applied
to it Good Garden) very appropriate.
Honolulu has population of $4,000
and is the center for all the trade on
the island. 1t is said to be the most
beautiful city in the world and has
the modern hotels and superior cleo
trio car system. Mt. Tantalus, 1,600
feet above the sea, is Immediately
back Of the city and close there are
valleys, cliffs and beaches and the city
is filed with foliage and flowers.
Our quarters are certainly swell, with
climbing vines and roses all over the
building, the climate in general is de-
lightful. The slopes toward the north
have abundant rainfall. I can look
out now ACROSS the green rice fields,
where the horses and mules are up to
their knees in mud. There are un-
pleasant things to contend with here,
however, as there are in all countries.
For instance, we are compelled to sleep
beneath net covered frames in order to
protect ourselves from the pesky mos
quitoes, which are quite numerous.
A part of our training includes
swimming with equipments slung upon
our backs. This although it tires one
a great deal, is considered great sport.
Some might think the officers distantly
inclined, but I find them the reverse,
joyial and kindly disposed to all.

The action of the Racine police and
fire commission in asking for a ruling
from the attorney general aud the
court action that is likely to follow no
matter what the decision of the state
official may be, viii settle once and for
all the old question of whether or not
any one holding a saloon license may
draw pay FROM the city as an official.
The law is plain and well established.
although It is admitted that the spirit
of the law is often violated, that no
one drawing pay from tie city may
enter into a contract with the city and
this question that the Racine police and
FIRE commission has started out, 20 have
settled all rests on whether or not
man taking out saloon license is en-
tering into contract with tnc city.
The question is one that has raised end
less discussion IL every city of any size
in the state and it viii be a relief 10
the officials of many citie~ to have it
settled authoratively. Should it be
held that ;aloon license is a contract
there will be wild scrambing to get un-
der cover all over the state.

who refused to pay the stipend ce-
manded from them by the state.
In the city of Kenosha alone there
are more than twos hundred and fifty
delinquent income tax accounts and the
amounts of these accounts range from
ten cents to nearly four hundred dol
lars The ayerage amount of the de-
linquent tax is considerable over ten
dollars The total amount DELINQUENT
in the city is $3,7311o and in the EIGHT
county towns, not. one of them off the
list, the delinquent tax is little over
$500. In addition to the delinuuent
list for this year the list for 1912 is
also turned over to the sheriff. On
these amounts the sheriff must collect
the principal AMI interest at the rate
of twelve per cent. and one per cent a
month viii be added to the penalty
from now on.
Under the law the sheriff and his
aids have the right to seize any prop
erty that they may find for the col
lection of this tax. 1t is interesting
to note that some of the largest
amounts on the delinquent list are to
be collected from men who have earn
ed large salaries in Kenosha. One
man who was credited with having a
salary of $4,000 year in one of the
Kenosha factories slipped away from
the city, leaving an unpaid income tax
of $348.79 and as he is now living in
another state it is probable that the
sheriff will have considerable trouble
collecting the amount. There are sew
eral amounts close to hundred dol
lars which were assessed against men
who have retired from high salaried
positions and gone to other states. 1t
is thought that it will be decidedly
difficult to make any collection of these
taxes.
In past years the collection of this
tax by the seizure of property has not
been overly successful but it is thought
that this year the sheriff will make
especial efforts and that hundreds if
not thousands of dollars of the delin-
quent tax will be collected. No time is
set for the collection of the tax, but
the interest must be added for each
month that it remains unsolicited.

PROMINENT MEN EVADE TAX
List of Delinquents in Part Looks Like
a Social Register High Salaried Men
Refuse to Pay Tax After Losing
Places and Remove to Other States.

Sheriff I. w. B. Achen had some
Job handed to him this morning when
County Treasurer Philip Hartman, Jr.,
turned over to him for collection the
delinquent income taxes. It was the
longest list Of uncollected taxes ever
turned over by an official of Kenosha
county and the list covered more than
ten pages. Parts Of it looked like a
social register of Kenosha and in the
long list of men and women from whom
the sheriff must make an effort to col
lect income taxes are lot of men who
have been rated as "A" in Kenosha
for years. In the list is to be found
every class and condition of men.
There are delinquent ministers, doctors,
lawyers, merchants and probably
thieves. There are rich men and poor
men who hold city and county Offices,
manufacturers, brewers, saloonkeepers

Board Of Education Urged
to Provide For Twelve
Payments For Teachers
MAKES CONTRACTS SECURE

A general movement is being urged
over Wisconsin for the payment of
teacher S salaries in twelve equal in
stallments and while this plan was not
favorably acted ON by the board of
education which went out Of the office
last Tuesday evening, it is expected
that one of the first things done by
the new board will be declaration of
this form of payment Of teachers.
For years Kenosha teachers have re
ceived their pay in nine equal Install
ments. Now the teachers are paid in
ten installments and many of them are
in favor of the new plan of monthly
payments Under the present plan the
teachers are paid their full salaries at
the close of the school year and they
have no money coming in to them dur
ing the summer vacation months.
Many of the teachers are willing to
admit that they are improvident and
that the vacation months find them
with little money to pay their living
expenses.
During the past few months the
question of changing the method of
paying salaries has been considered by
q special committee of the board of
education, but this committee could
lot reach an agreement in the matter.
Members of the board are agreed that
monthly payments for the teachers
would go long way toward putting
an end to contract jumping as the
board would have new tie to bind
the teachers to the city. In the past
few years there has not been a great
deal of trouble with teachers failing
to ca out contrac' with the board.
but these cases are always in evidence.
When teacher is offered little more
more money from another city and has
nothing to bind her to Kenosha she is
liable to accept the proposed increase.
With a twelve payment salary plan
tho contract would not be so easily
broken. The matter is now in the
hands Of the teachers committee of
the board of education and it is ex-
pected to be definitely settled at an
early meeting of the board It is de-
clared that large majority of the
Kenosha teachers favor the twelve
payment plan.

GIVE AID TO HOSPITAL.
Young Women of Park Ave Church Is
sue Cook Book to Aid Hospital.

More than a hundred women of Ke-
nosha, noted for their ability as cooks
have contributed their prize receipts
to a cook book which has just been
issued by the young women of the
Adult Bible Glass of Park Avenue Ne.
F. church and the book which is de-
cidedly tasty little volume, is being
sold to raise fund to aid in support
ing free bed at the Kenosha hospital.
Thirteen hundred copies of the book
have been issued and it is expected
that they will find ready sale in the
city. Several years ago the young
women of the church agreed to support
the room in the hospital. The room
has proved a great blessing to working
women Of the city who have been over
taken by illness.

The county board of supervisors
through ignorance that such law had
been passed by the legislature made
no provision for the pay or operating
expenses of the ne, county board Of
education, but no one who knows the
men elected to positions on the new
board will have any fears that the
duties of this board will be neglected
because of that fact. Lit is safe to say
that the board will 60 right along at
tending to business either owing what
bills they may have to contract or paw
ing them out of their own pockets IN
til such time as the board of super
vlsors can straighten out The finances
of the new body. Most Of the men on
this board of education have done more
or less work for the county for little
or no pay before, and it is certain that
the supervisors viii act at the first op-
portunity they have.

Some action will have TO be taken
to discourage pedestrians damaging
private lawns and curbs and those Of the
city parks by making paths across
them. Some people seem to carry the
idea that they are especially privileged
and that the walks thai have been put
in all of the parks for the Use of the
common nerd are not for them. They
are privileged, or they thinks they are,
to take short cuts that in some eases,
as shown by the marks they have left
on the grass, save them the exertion of
walking as much as three or four feet
additional. The city is spendino much
money to keep the parks and lawns in
condition and something will have to
be done soon to protect them.

Great Applause at Coli

BIG FUND FOR SCHOOL WORK

The International Minstrels, an en-
tertainment given by boys and girls
Of the Kenosha high school at the
Coliseum on Friday evening for the
purpose Of raising funds to purchase
furniture for the rest room at the
high school, scored the biggest success
ever awarded to an amateur production
i'll Kenosha and more than seventeen
hundred people packed and jammed
their way into the Coliseum to applaud
the splendid musical program offered
by the competent company of amateur
artists. The entertainment was pro-
duced under the direction of Misses
Yule and Cameron Of the high school
faculty and it was a real hit from
every standpoint. There were scores
Of pretty girls, girls that could sing
and dance and with them were Just as
many young men who could furnish en-
tertainment. It was truly cosmopoli-
tan and every nation was represented
II the olio and in the dances. On the
ends were Clarence Parker and Omar
Kupfer and they were continuous fun
makers. In the solos were Miss Hazel
Mcdonald. Alwen Hansen. Zenas Pitch
er and Clarence Parker and their Of
ferings We're wildly applauded by the
students and their friends. The dances
were especially well executed and the
young women taking part in them were
better trained than many professional
choruses which have been seen in Ke-
nosha. The German band, the Swedish,
japanese and Spanish dances were all
featured in the program and the
stately minuet drew lot Of applause
from the big crowd Tho entertain
ment Melted something like four humid
red dollars for the fund for which it
was given.
