MUST PROTEST IN TEN DAYS
Assessor of Incomes Joseph E. Dalton
Sends Out Last Call Today and Final
Taxes Will Be Levied at Once Unless
Income learners Appear to Protest.

More than three hundred men and
women in Kenosha county have been
arbitrarily assessed for income tax for
1915 collection and today Assessor of
Incomes Joseph E. Dalton began the
work of sending out notices of these
assessments. The assessments are
largely based on the amounts paid by
the delinquents in past years and no
tice of this sort of an assessment is
being sent to every man and woman in
the county who failed to return the
income blank as sent out by the in
come assessor earlier in the year In
the letter that accompanies the notice
of assessment it is stated that the tax
as levied is preliminary and that the
income Garner will have a chance 10
come before the board of review and
protest against it. However, if any
protest is to be made a formal state
ment for assessment must be filed with
in the next ten days and at the end of
the ten days the tax assessed will be-
come fixed tax. All classes Of people
are to be found in the list who failed
to return statements of income this
year and in some cases the amount of
tax assessed by the assessor is a con
siderable amount.
GIVE make an effort to handle these
assessments in an intelligent manner, !"
said Assessor Dalton, "but we always
insist that the tax be placed at a figure
which will be high enough. All of
these people have had a chance to
make verified statement of their in
come less exemptions and they have
paid no attention to the provisions of
the law. The law strictly provides
that these people do not escape the

payment of fair tax and it has been
assessed accordingly. Where we know
that a man is a married man we have
allowed him an exemption of $1,000 in
making up the tax, but where the facts
are not known to us all are treated as
emption of $500 is made. No provi-
sion is made for such other exemptions
as the law provides for and if these
people have rights to further exemp-
tions they must file statement of their
income within the next ten days. In
making up these lists we are of course
aided materially by reports made by
corporations of salaries paid to men
regularly employed by them. The
salary list is followed in making up
the income taxes. There are about
three hundred of these assessments
and all Of them will be sent out with
in the next two days"
The number of people failing to re-
turn an income tax statement seems to
be getting larger rather than diminish
ing and LOT of people seem to be en-
tirely agreeable to have the assess
ment made by the officials rather than
60 to the trouble and some times ex-
pense of having the statement of in
come made out. Some of the men who
are subject to arbitrary assessment
seem to be of the opinion that the as
sessments returned are no larger than
they would be if made on their own
verified statement.

COOPER TO FIGHT SHY.
Member Of Congress in First District
Not to be in senatorial Race.

Some politicians who have kept clos
est track of events have felt that Con-
gresham FL, A. Coopc~ would be one
Of the contestants for the republican
nomination for United States senator.
The indications now are that the con-
gresham will not enter the race It
looks as though Mr.. Cooper will finally
decide to become a candidate for re-
election in the district he has -epre-
sented SO long. That the congressman
would make a strong candidate has
been recognized all along and there
there has been much worry in the La
Toilette camp lest he should break in
and hurt the chances of Lieut. Gov.
Morris, who is the LaFollette candi-
date for the nomination. Should the
congressman announce his intention of
remaining where he is if the voters of
the first district see fit to send him
back, of which there is little doubt,
there will be great load lifted off the
minds Of Senator LaFollette and his
leaders in this state.

FAVoRs CONTRACT WORK.
Highway Commissioner Herzog Anxious
to Get County Roads Work Started.

County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog is favorable to the contract
plan in the building of county roads
and at his Office this morning he said:
= am going to let work to contract
every place that this course is possible.
| believe that this is the best plan to
get the work done and get it done on
time. wish that the work of building
the roads could be started tomorrow as
it would be possible for us to get lot
of good labor right now. However, the
specifications are not ready and some
of the plans received are not just what
the people want and they are seeking
changes We viii get the. work start

MENTION MANY FOR CHAIRMAN
New Majority of City Members Not
Expected to Make Any Change in the
Harmonious Conditions Which Have
Prevailed During Recent Sessions.

The formal call has been sent out
for a special session of the county
board to be held at the court house a
week from next Tuesday and at that
time the board will formally organize
and elect its chairman and committees.
These officers will be in charge of the
work at the November and January
sessions. For the first, time in the his
tory of the county the city will have
control of the county board as the
coming Of the Supervisor from the new
ninth ward will give the city the con
trolling voice in the proceedings Of
the board. 1t is not expected, how
ever, that there will be any division of
the board along city and county lines
as the old time members of the board
have worked with such harmony that
i is certain that the same good feel
ing will be continued.
There will be many new members on
the board when it meets for organiza-
tion In the ninth ward Philip Har-
man, ST., takes the place of Thomas
Scott; in the fourth, D. T. Brister sue
ceeds the old veteran supervisor A. j.
Burg; in the fifth, George Strangberg
succeeds Joseph T. Bishop, and in the
new ninth ward the representative will
be James H. Karnes These men are
all new to county bo&lA servl,~- Id
they take the place of men - Ave
been very active in the work of the
county
Out in the towns John Eppers of
Brighton, has surrendered his place to
James Martin, Benjamin Elverman
comes to the board in place of former
Chairman Charles Kline of Randall;
Thomas Fleming takes the place Of
Arthur Hartnell in Salem, and Jacob
Barrows succeeds Highway Commits
sioner John Herzog in Somers.
The first matter Of interest will be
the election of chairman. 1t is said
that the city members of the board
are pretty well united on the re-
election of Chairman John T. Yule Of
the second ward. From the county the
names Of William Luke of Wheatland
and W. A. Epson of Bristol, have been
prominently mentioned and it is said
that Supervisor Fleming of Salem
would not be adverse to presiding over
the deliberations of tie board. All Of
these men have been members of the
board for more than one term.
1t is not expected that any great
amount Of work will be taken up at
the meeting, but it is probable that
some plan will be worked out for the
county board supervision of highway
work this year. There seems to be
a demand for such supervision from all
parts of the county and it is thought
that such supervision will go a long
ways toward securing appropriations
road work from some of the towns who
have hesitated to vote money for
roads.

CUT BEET ACREAGEs.
Small Percentage of Land to be Devot-
ed to Sugar Beets This Season.

There will be a smaller per cent of
sugar beets grown in Kenosha county
this year than ever before. This is
attributed to the low prices laid by
the sugar beel companies for the pro-
duct. Acreage will be extensively
used for o4ions and cabbage. In years
gone by thousands of tons Of beets
have been cultivated and employment
given to several hundred people, espe-
cially in she vicinity Of Somers.
Representatives of the Wisconsin Su-
gar Beet companies who have been can
wasting Racine and Ker osha counties,
state that II has been decided to enter
the business Of rein ng raw sugar,
which means that the factories will be
kept open the year around, instead of
part of the year. 1t further means the
employment of $50 men in each factory.
These factories are located at James
vile, Menominee Falls, Madison and
Chippewa Falls.
1t is planned to import the raw pro-
duet and ship it directly to the fac
tories. The manufacture of sugar from
Wisconsin grown beets will not be dis
continued, however. Contracts have
been made for what is grown
Contracts are 30 per cent lower than
in 1913, due to the new tariff which
is being condemned by the farmers
and manufacturers, who claim that put
ting sugar on the free list has harmed
the sugar business.
A committee appointed by President
Wilson to secure information on the
cost of sugar production in the United
States, is expected to visit Wisconsin,
including Kenosha county, in the near
future.

lot of hired men in the legislature, that
you can rely upon to overhaul this
mass of political debauchery that has
been foisted upon the people of
the state.
AS | view the situation, there is no
other way Of escape from the clutches
of these cormorants, who are fooling
nc one as to their real character and
purpose but you You have allowed this
Deiilah of LaFolletteism to steal away
your political and industrial liberties
and load you with oppressive taxation.
Do you think your fathers, back in
1861, would have taken such state
OF affairs as tamely as you are doing?
Not much! They were citizens of
pluck and energy, who knew when
they had been grossly deceived. Are
their sons of the same "blood and
iron" quality their fathers were, or
are they different race Of men, ready
to feed out of the hand of any de-
magogue that can tickle them with his
humbug stuff about progressivism? As
certain as you live, when time shall
have given you the last analysis, you
will find that progressivism is nothing
but combination of political iobbery,
with not an ounce in it of the kind of

or lead you out of difficulty Will
you lean on this broken and treacber-
