There have been enough accidents
and near accidents at the corner OF
Park and West Main street to warrant
special regulations for traffic at that
corner and orders should be issued to
all motormen to approach this corner
with great caution. 1t is certain that
the numerous accidents there have i'm
pressed the fact that is a particularly
dangerous spot upon all drivers and that
if accidents are to be avoided there
in the future that they must do their
part in preventing them by driving
very carefully when approaching this
crossing. 1t is due to the motormen
to say that apparently they have been
no more at fault in the recent acci-
dent than the drivers of the vehicles
with which the cars have been in col
lision. It is "blind" crossing and
there will be very little excuse for
any one acquainted with the city get
ting caught there in the future. It's
character has been too well advertised.

ONLY THREE FROM kENOsHa
Jeffrey Company of Milwaukee Gave
up Its Charter When New Selling
Plan Was Made by the Company
Speciality Manufacturing Co. Named

The Kenosha Athletic association
organized fer the promotion of boxing
bouts In Kenosha is threatened with
loss Of its state charter as today the
secretary of state gave out list of
delinquent corporations in the county
and the Kenosha Athletic association
is second in the list. The association
has fled no report of its receipts and
expenditures with the secretary of state
and according to the law regulating
corporations in the state the charter of
the association will be declared for
feited on the first day Of January Of
next year. The association may still
retain its charter by filing a report and
by paying the forfeit fee to the state,
but it is not expected that the report
will be filed.
The association was chartered lit
tie over year ago after the Wiscon-
sin state boxing commission became
operative and it was organized by John
E. Heating and John F. Langan with
Robert Simpson the professional golfer
as the third incorporation. Two shows
were given after the association secur-
ed state charter, and both of them
proved to be financial failures. On ac-
count of the lack of interest shown in
the boxing game the promoters aban-
doned the sport In Kenosha and it is
expected that the state charter of the
association will be allowed to be for
feited.
Only two other incorporated COM
panies are mentioned in the list of de-
linquents from Kenosha county. One
of these is the Thomas B. Jeffrey Co.
of Milwaukee. This corporation was
organized to handle the business of the
Jeffrey company in Milwaukee and it
was successful corporation until a
year ago when the company adopted
an entirely new plan of selling auto
mobiles and the Milwaukee sales
agency passed from the direct control
of the company to an incorporated
agency. There being no further use

of maintaining the Milwaukee corpora
ton no report of its transactions was
fled by the company.
The third company on the list is
"The Kenosha Speciality Manufactur-
ing company The company is not
named in the Kenosha city directory
and it does not appear in the telephone
directory.
The list of delinquent corporations
is much smaller this year than in for.
mer years and this indicates that al
the active corporate companies of Ke
nosha have fully complied with the
state law which provides for reports
of all incorporated companies. The re
ports filed are used In securing figures
for income taxation and for making
reports of corporations in the state.

UMLAND PAYS A FINE.
Man Who Drove Traction Engine Over
New Concrete Road Gives Bond.


New Concrete Road Gives Bond.
George finland of the town of Bristol
arrested on charge of driving trac-
ton engine over a new concrete road in
the town of Bristol pleaded guilty to
the charge in the municipal court this
morning and paid fine of ten dol
lars and the costs of the action. This
was not all. finland furnished the
county with bond by which he agreed
to pay the damages which may have
been done to the road and the under
standing is that the damages, if any,
are to be determined by the engineers
of the state highway commission.
The attorneys for finland declared
that he was satisfied that he had made
a mistake in driving over the road, bu
they held that the barriers were no
such as to make him believe that ther,
was any danger of serious injury to tn,
roadway. The county highway officials
have announced that they will demand
the arrest of every driver of a vehicle
who refuses to keep off the roads while
they are in course of construction.

1t is strange that in a country so
democratic as the United States there
is no way of ascertaining public opin-
ion. Hardly ever do voters have a
chance to declare their will on any ma
tional issue. When the Commons pro-
posed to tax land values, for example,
and the Lords resisted there was an
election on that particular question;
and when the votes were counted no
reasonable doubt remained that the
famous Lloyd George Budget embodied
the will of a majority of the British
electorate. Nothing of that kind ever
happens in this country. Only by in
ference can we say that the majority
of voters favor tariff revision, for in
the last presidential election the low
tariff party got only forty per cent of
the popular vote. Proponents and OPP
poneats of the trust measures now be-
fore Congress declaer that hose meas
ures are tremendously important; but
there is not scrap of evidence that
the majority of voters approve them.
A well organized, aggressive minority
will always make a much greater inn
preston on politicians than an I'M
organized, lukewarm majority. Take
the question of national prohibition.
which is evidently coming to the fore.
Congress may pass a resolution for a
constitutional amendment because a
dozen leaders guess that a majority of
the people want it passed; or because
majority of the members-though
not favorinS it themselves and not be-
lieving that a majority of the voters
favor lido believe that an aggres.
sive prohibition minority will make eff
fectual reprisals at the next congress
sional elections unless the resolution is
passed. And the legislatures of three
fourths of the states may adopt the
amendment on account of the same
fear of an aggressive minority. Again,
an aggressive, well-organized anti
prohibition minority in more than one
fourth of the states may defeat the
amendment, though decided majority
of the national electorate may favor it.
Meantime there will be the most posi-
tive assertions that the majority of the
people do want it and that the rnaiori-
ty do not want it. With small trouble
and expense that question might be
settled by letting voters make cross
opposite Yes or No at the next cleo
tiAna -Saturday Evening Post.

State total 1888, 800 $26,S95, 7o5. SO
The losses for any year for single
city or village will, of course, huctuate.
but on the whole for any large terri
tory and for period of three, five or
ten years, the ratio of losses to
premiums is fairly constant For each
500 in premiums paid to the stock
companies in the United States during
the last ten years there has been re-
turned in losses about $54, and in the
state of Wisconsin during the last ten
years $43, and in Wisconsin in 1912
$3S, and in 1913 $34.
In other words, throughout the Unit
cd States the stock companies collect
ed $185 for each 800 of losses paid
during the past ten years, and in Wis
consin during the same time they col
lected 1898, and in 1912 1868, and in
1913 1894 for each 800 paid for losses.
1t thus appears that, comparing ratio
of $40 for the United States with 1870
for Wisconsin, the premiums charged
In Wisconsin should be about 500 of
the present rate. In other words, on
the ten year average, the people of
Wisconsin are entitled to an aver
age reduction in fire premiums of 300.
This means that the people of Wiscon-
sin have been overcharged more than
$l5,OOo,Ooo during the past ten years.
There is no doubt that the most
profitable business to the companies is
the dwelling house and other small prop
critics, and that the largest reduction
should be made on these classes of
property.

eighty-nine cents at Oshkosh. The
largest per capita loss as shown by the
report is 1928 at Sheboygan. A large
majority of the cities of the state show
ed per capita loss double that of Ke-
osha. The letter to Chief Isermann
follows:
Fl. A. Isermann, chief, Fire Depart.
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir
A remarkably good showing is made
by the state of Wisconsin with regard
to fire losses. This cannot fail to be
due in large part to the active and eff
fcient work of the fire departments In
making inspections to prevent fires.
Begun in this state some time ago, it
is now required all over the state I'M
der the law passed two years ago.
This work costs but very little in ad
dition to the regular cost of the fire
department, and the city councils and
village boards can well afford to be
liberal in making necessary provision
for doing this work most thoroughly
The cost is trifing compared with the
saving in possible fires, and even COM
pared with the ordinary fires from year
to year. Besides. as this work is car
ried on and perfected from year to
year, the property owners will benefit
immensely in reduced fire insurance
premiums. In this connection, the pub
lie should be given to understand that
it is the intention Of the insurance de-
partment to insist that premiums be
reduced accordingly, and to ask for the
necessary legislation which will bring
this about.
For your information and the infor
nation of the public, the following
statement is given of the fire insurance
premiums paid and the money return
ed for losses during the past three
years, as shown by our records:
