Pecodnize His Worth

One of the pleasant features of
the present gubernatorial campaign
in Wisconsin is the almost uniform
of the state press to the
of VIM. H. Hatton. Many
of the leading progressive and indie
pendent papers are ardently support
ing him, as are several of the most
Influential conservative papers, and
not few Democratic journals often
comment favorably upon his well
known fitness for the high office of
No paper of standing in
the state has either harshly assailed
Senator Hatton, or questioned his
probity, sound, business Judgment
and signal ability to meet and solve
the problems with which the next
governor of Wisconsin will have to
deal This general attitude of the
press but faithfully reflects the SEN
timent of the great mass of voters
throughout the state, regardless of
party, or faction.-Stevens Point

In an article published elsewhere
in this issue about mad dogs" and
precautions that should be taken re-
garding the same, this statement ap-
pears: ct is a great mistake to kill
a dog on suspicion that it may have
the disease" The article further
states that the brain of a suspect
ed dog should be sent to the hygienic
laboratory for examination! This
is excellent advice, if it can be
carried out successfully. Apparently
scientific surgery has reached a stage
of perfection that we have not real
lied was possible. Doubtless, if the
dog was found to be infected, his
brain would be returned within a
week or two and replaced, after
which the canine would be allowed
to resume the even tenor of his
ways none the worse for the exper-
fence. "The world do move"

WlLFUL OR IGNORANT?

The length to which intense par
tisan feeling sways some men is
demonstrated by statement in
The Appleton Post, Tory Republi-
can newspaper, that while the in
come tax in wisconsin is not entire
ly dissipated in the process of it's
assessment and collection, it is con-
sidered, as it is now managed, an
exceedingly expensive revenue pro-
ducer."
This statement is so utterly at
variance with the facts that it is
really incomprehensible that a news
paper that makes any pretention to
intelligence or reliability should
think for a moment of publishing it.
The income tax law, as everybody
knows, provides that the state shall
receive 10 per cent of the taxes col
lected under it to defray the costs
of administration. All the balance of
income taxes is retained by the coun-
ties and local communities which pay
these taxes. The money that they re-
ceive, 80 per cent of the whole, is
clear velvet"
During the year that ended June
80, 1914, the state received as it's
share of the income tax the 10 per
cent provided for the expense of adj
ministration-the exact sum of $780,
29SS1. 1t was figured when the in
come tax law was first enacted that
the expense of administering the
law might reach 10 per cent, but, as
matter of fact, the states expens-
es in this connection, including all
salaries, wages, postage, printing and
every other proper charge, amounted
to exactly $99,22823 This is barely
over per cent of the total amount
of income taxes collected.
Thus it is plain that not only is
the income tax mot entirely dissipat-
ed in the process of it's assessment"
but it is as clear as day that it is

Of the university" This refers to the
equalization of the assessments, which
affects in no way the university's in
come
The fact is that the income tax law
exempts a great deal of personal
property from taxation, and while
the university has not benefited one
iota from the income tax, it has
lost income that would have been de-
rived from this personal property if
it had not been exempted from taxa
ton by the terms of the income law.

NO DANGER FROM
japan EXPECTED
r.-
Says Paymaster, J. M. Han
cock, u. S. NJ, Newly Ar
rived From Far East.

No uneasiness regarding the atti-
tude of Japan, is the result Of the
present European war appears to be
felt in the Philippine Islands, accord
ing to Paymaster J. NJ. Hancock, U.
S. NJ, who is in the city today visit
ing his father, Henry Hancock, while
enroute from the China coast where
he has been stationed. to Washington.
THE feeling in the Philippines is
that they are safe for the present, as
far as any attack from Japan is con-
cerned,"' said Mr.. Hancock today.
There is however considerable un-
rest among the native population w
ing to the general desire for imn1edl-
ate independence. This feeling al
ways exists, however, and I do not
think that it has been heightened in
any way by the present war.
AS for China, her n desire at
present is to avoid II foreign en-
tanglements at present. She is busy
only desires to be let alone.
There is however a general fear
among the officials that. Japan may
succeed in embroiling China in the
present conflict even though such ac-
ton would be against her will.
There is 10 anti-foreign feeling in
China at present and it is generally
believed that there is no possibility
OF any attacks OF missionaries or SIM
liar trouble. regardless of the ulti-
mate outcome of the present situa-
ton"
Mr.. Hancock has been ordered to
report at the navy department the
latter part of. next week. He will leave
for Washington next Monday accom-
panied by Mrs. Hancock, who has
been visiting in this city.

of an Adrindack Guide
Wins Him 500 Reward.
(NeW YORK World

(NeW York WOrld.)
An Adirondack guide dropped into
Boonville, north of this city, the other
day to lay in his winter supply of pro-
visions, traps, ammunition and cloth
ing, and told of his ingenious capture,
alive, of a big buck.
A mar who owns a large deer park
in the southern part of the Adiron-
dacks had seen an unusually large
buck that he was very anxious to Sc
cure for his preserve, and he offered
800 for it. alive and Grated, ready
for shipment. All the guides in that
section knew of the big deer and made
efforts to get it alive.
John Benham went to the nearest
village and had the druggist make
some pellets of glue, -four, paste and
opium a trifle larger than buckshot.
Then he loaded several shells with
them.
The next time he saw the big buck
or the runway he sent the contents of
both barrels into it's side. 1t ran and
he followed it, coming up to it about
two hours later. The buck was in a

Three gamblers arrested Friday

istrate, to spend, 20 days each in the

Their names are Charles Larson,

are transients.
The three CHANDELIERS are said to
have hired a oom IN a DeMers ave

ante" They were not content to play
among themselves, however, but pro-
ceeded to rope in a student at a local
business college; who soon became the
goat Of the game.
This was the condition when the
police interrupted the pastilne. The
three strangers were arrested, while
the student was allowed to leave. a =
ter having been given some advice by
Chief Lowe for his souls health.
When arratgned in police court the

SPY AS PRIVATE

Plymouth, England, Oct. 1.-THE
most exciting incidents on the voyage
of the Canadian contingent were the
arrest of a supposed German spy, and
two burials overheard at sea, one of
"a man from one ship, and another
of a maj who died of exposure after
a rescue. The name has been unas-
c~ertainable as yet. 1t is supposed the
spy was a private in a regiment from
Montreal. said to be of Dutch nation
ality. He spoke several languages.
The brigade commanders suspicious
about the disposition of various Can
adian troops. and he ordered the
mans arrest, which was very smartly
done. A state letter and code were
found in the mans clothes. A secret
officers inquiry was held, with the re-
suit that the mar will be kept in Gus
tody till further orders.
