The supreme court in a decision
by Judge Policy, holds the auto
mobile tax is not double taxation,
but is in the nature of license
for the use of the public highway.
The autos, he holds, are injurious
to the roads, causing additional
expense for the maintenance, and
hence it is no more than right that
the users of autos should help TO
pay the extra expense. This de-
cision is a reversal of our former
policy in maintaining highways,
and if followed to it's logical con-
cIusion may revolutionize our sys
tenn. The theory has been that all
roads should be maintained by
general taxation and be free to all
Ii the policy of charging a fee for
their use is tenabIe, then the fee
should be graduated and be IN pro
portion to the use or damage dout
to the roads. AS the autos are
not the only vehicles that damage
the roads there is no logical reason
why they should be the only oaes
licensed. All vehicles which dam.
age the roads should be taxed and
in proportion to the damage done
Then there are many people who
never use the highways at all and
they might be exempt from all
road tax. This decision opens the
way for the ambitious legislator
to make all manner Of changes in
our road laws.

Troublesome Gender,

Ding after it himself. Icarus would

Assessor Dalton took great care to
impress upon the assessors the necessity
OF equitable assessments and he show
ed that the only really equitable as
sessment was one based on the true
value OF the property in question. He
pointed out errors in past years and
showed that these should be used as a
basis of the movement to prevent
errors this year.
An excellent feeling of cooperation
was shown by the various assessors at
tending the meeting and it is certain
that the county convention will bring
results in a better assessment this year
than has ever been returned in Ke-

are able to go to the front at once.
There will be no examinations Of the

as the names are sent to the postmaster
they will be turned over to the re

by the police indicate that the woman
had been true to her husband and that
his jealous rage which resulted in the
shooting was carefully nursed as a re-
suit of stories told by people who
sought to divide the family.
Chief o'Hare declared today that
he was hopeful that Valentine would
be arrested before he got out of
Chicago. It is not thought that Val

and it is not thought that he could
raise money to go to Italy without
appealing to friends in Kenosha Any
appeal to friends here is pretty certain
to result in his being taken by the
detectives.

in the state as they have found them
he is at the present time pretty well
posted upon the senatorial situation.
Representative of other senatorial
camps are much interested in the final
decision of Mr.. Stephenson as to wheth-
er he will be a candidate. So far as
the friends of Gov. Francis E. McGov-
ern afe concerned, they decline empha-
tically to credit the report that there is
any possibility Of Stephenson entering
the senatorial field, and intimate that
they consider it ridiculous that it
should be even dreamed of by any one
that the senator has any aspirations to
succeed himself in the United States
senate. 1t is the belief Of the Mccoy
ern leaders that Senator Stephenson
would be overwhemlingly defeated in
the republican primary election should
he finally decide to become candidate.
So far as the LaFollette people are
concerned, while they are rather more
interested in many other situations in
the state than they are in the sena-
torial candidacy of Mr.. Stephenson,
they seem to think it is probable that
when it comes down to brass tacks
Mr.. Stephenson may decide to run,
and become again candidate for SEN
atorial honors. The LaFollette people
claim to be of the belief that if Mr..
Stephenson becomes candidate he is
likely to cut more figure in the nominal
McGovern vote in the primary than
with anybody else
The conservative republicans are also
interested in the candidacy of Mr..
Stephenson as great factor in the
support of his campaign of two years
ago was the conservative vote. What
the conservative leaders would like
most to know is as to whether Mr..
Stephenson will really make the run.
The Stephenson men feel that they cot
great deal of strength from the con-
sentative side of the fence, and I'M
doubleday, if Mr.. Stephenson should
run again, an attempt would be made
to line up conservative votes in his
favor.

State Board of Public AT
fairs Want Kenosha's Idea
of a State University.
WOULD CORRECT MANY EVILS

| The Wisconsin state board of public
affairs is seeking to get the opinion
of the city of Kenosha on the manner
In which the business of the University
Of Wisconsin is conducted and to that
end hundreds Of letters have been sent
to teachers, ministers, public officials
and just private citizens in Kenosha,
asking that they make suggestions TO
the new state board in regard to
changes in the university management,
which will make the institution meet
more nearly the demands of the boys
a part o what is known as "a Sur
vey" of the university.
The letters are being generally
answered by Kenosha people and with
the answers to the regular questions
asked by the members of the board a
whole lot of suggestions are being sent
which are not in any way covered by
the questions. Among tho teachers of
the city schools the proposed survey
is attracting lot of attention, and as
the state board of public affairs has a
lot of power over the university the
teachers believe that its examination
will result in many changes being
made. Here is the list of questions
put up to the Kenosha people by the
state board:
/. sWhat if anything is the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin undertaking that the
state as whole does not wish it to do?
2. What if anything is the univer-
sity failing to undertake which the
state wishes it to dos
3. Is the university doing well
enough what it does9
4. Is it doing inexpensively enough
what il doesa
5. What parts of its work, if any,
are inadequately supportedR
6. What parts of its work are out
of proportion-too large, too small---to
its program as whole9
z. Is the states support of the uni
versty proportionate or disproportion-
ate to state support of other public edu-
cational activities
s. Is the university's business man
agement in policy, planning, purchas-
ing, supervising checking and report
ing adequate and eficients
g. Does the legislative policy in deal
ing with the university and other edu-
cational activities reflect adequate in
formation and efficient use of informa-
tion2
10. What is the university S relation
with, and influence upon the rest of
the state s system of public education
IL, What are the standards of living
social and economic-in the univer-
sity9
II. What not yet met needs of the
state which the university might meet
and what opportunities for retrench-
ment or increased efficiency should be
reported to the next legislatures

in the towns Of Kenosha county and

there were no set speeches there was
al interesting exchange Of ideas which
is counted on to bring more equit-
able assessment of the. property through
out the county for the coming year.
The assessors in the county will start
their work on next Friday and it is
expected that new methods will be in
tloduced to meet the uemanO, of the
state commission.

of property in the towns and in the
