WHEN POLITICAL DOCTORS
DISAGREE

EDITOR CENSOR: l noticed in the
last CENSOR a list of tax payers of the
city of Viroqua paying $40 or more
This list is proceeded by this statement:
ITO be exact the total amount levied
against city property is 81. 924 69great-
er than last year, while city and coun-
ty tax are little less The inference
might be that the state tax is respon-
sible for this increase. ! believe an ir-
quiry into the facts win show this is
not true
You give the state tax levied by the
city of Viroqua as Sc, 925 Sc OF this
amount 81, LAB So goes to pay a deb
contracted by the school district to the
state. Of the remainder the state re-
turns to your free high school S448 20.
and 81, 759 % to the other schools of the
city. In addition to this the state paws
back to your schools $3.50 for its agri-
cultural department, 1892 so for its do
nestle science department and $500 for
its manual training department, to saw
nothing of the So, 900 the state pays to
maintain the county teachers training
school. This latter, ,of course, applies
to the entire county, but ViroQua gets
its share. As far as the state tax is
concerned, the rate this year is no high
er than it has been before, and this is
the second time within the last six years
that any state tax hes been levied at
all. For the other four years the state
RENTED the taxes for the above pur-
poses without collecting dollar in re-
turn.
believe if the tax payers will look
into the records, they will find the re-
sponsibility for nearly all the increase
in taxes lies elsewhere than with the
state. They will find that city councils
have increased their appropriations.
They will find that the voters at their
annual meetings have increased the
school tax. They will find the voters
of the town have increased their appro-
.'riations, or the county boards have
done likewise. Yours truly,

against any other in the league.
PILL comes from the Pacific Coast
IL League, and it was a tough job
detaching him from that organiza-
ton, where he was rated the star
infielder of the whole works. 1t is
said that the deal was made possible
only by the power of the New Or

San Francisco, unless Lindsay was

Der Of the 1914 Pels.
That one little change makes the
Pels look about so per cent better,
to our way of thinking. Besides,
knowing Mr.. Somers' love of win
ner, we have no doubt that he will
shoot a lot of talent southwark from
the Napland discard-what?
Only Mr.. Somers tried too much of
the green and untrimmed stuff last
year. and now he knows what hap
pened. Probably he won't repeat the
blunder.
That's the reason we want to bet
the Pels don't run last again next
year-that and Mr. Lindsay.

is as big as Walter johnson, but not

Probably SO. We know a lot of
pitchers who are not quite as good
as W. johnson.
