MIR. NICKLE BREAKS OUT

Representative A. ]. Nickle sets
forth his excuses in another column
for his attitude in the matter OF dis
tribution of state road appropriations
in this county. 1t is lame attempt at
defense, but he has right to be heard
and the opportunity is cheerfully CIV
en- him. Mr.. Nickle is now private
citizen, and his actions as legisla-
tor a closed incident, but if he insists
upon reopening an unpleasant subject
he is at liberty to do SO, yet it will be
difficult for him to satisfactorily ex-
plain the animus he displayed toward
Oroville during this entire discussion
of the road money matter. Mr.. Nickle
studiously worked, SO far as his in
fuence extended, to cut out Oroville
entirely, if reports from Olympia can
be depended on. 1t was through the
efforts of Judge Neal, in conjunction
with Senator Arthur Mcguire, that
the amendment to the road bill was
inserted extending road No. 10 to the
British Columbia line near Oroville,
which was contemplated in the road
bill as drawn up and passed by the
legislature originally a number of
years ago. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Nickle would not give that amendment
his sanction. Mr.. Nickle can not plead
ignorance of the history of road No. 4
in this county. That road was never
surveyed farther west than Loomis
yet he insisted upon reaching the
British line via road No. 4, which
would require the spending of much
money over supposititious route so
far as a state highway is concerned,
ignoring the water grade, the natural
route laid out by God Almighty, and
admitted by every human being with
an iota of common sense as The cas-
lest of construction and only route to
GLOW reaching the international
boundary and connecting with the
Canadian highway systems.
In the face of his attitude at Olym-
pia is it any wonder that the Com
mercial Clubs of the valley, and rep
resentative citizens of Oroville, To-
nasket and other towns of the county
should have Stunned him in their eff
forts to secure justice, and that they
appealed to legislators who were not
biased or prejudiced?
Mr.. Nickle is surprised that delegates
to Olympia did not search him out and
apply to him for aid in securing road
appropriations. Under the circum-
stances as they were understood it
would have been a greater wonder
had they applied to Mr.. Nickle for
help. Mr.. Nickle's influence was not
81 eat in that body, and those dele
gates had every reason to feel that OPP
position and not assistance was all
they could expect from the represent
alive from this county.

An error in Bartell's advertisement
last week was not intended for humor
and yet it was considerable of a joke.
The line read IF you don't need, the
money just use an ordinary drill and
have a lot of work." etc. 1t should
have read and save lot of work. u
There is hardly anything to do on a
farm, or in any other business so far

The Colville Examiner rates the re-
publican legislature for passing the
Mcclure bill, which had for its object
the prevention of the university re-
gents vetoing the sale of university
lands, bill that the governor finally
vetoed. This paper did not consider
the bill wise one, but the Examiner
must remember that the bill was the
pet measure of one of the most I'M
democrats in the legis-
'ature, who must have championed
his cause with unusual power and
lucidity to secure it's passage in body
of republicans in over
whelming majority, a body charged
with opposing everything with the
faint of democracy upon it. If any

INCOME ROLL NEARLY READY.
Kenosha County Men and Women Did
Not Earn UP to Last Years Mark.

Income taxation in Kenosha is not
going to prove as profitable to the city
and county during the coming year as
it did last year and there is a consider
able falling off in the amounts of in
comes returned for taxation by the men
and women Of the county. The roll
is now made up and the assessor of
incomes is busy figuring out the
amount of the tax. 1t will not be as
much as last year. said Assessor
Joseph E. Dalton this morning. ~
do not know just why, but the amounts
of the incomes are not as large and this
will of course bring reduction in the
amount Of the tax collected. In the
last year the tax showed big reduc-
ton over the tax collected in 1914 and
estimates made by the city officials on
the amount to be received as income
tax were considerably above the
amounts which were actually collected
With a further falling off in the
amount this year it will be necessary
for the council to make arrangements
for meeting this falling off by increas
ed taxation along other lines or by the
cutting Of city budgets to make it pos
sible for the normal levy to provide
funds for the running expenses Of the
city. The roll Of income taxes for the
county will probably be fled with the
county clerk within the next thirty
days. The taxes assessed against the
corporations Of the county are now be-
ing made by the state tax commission
and they should be made public tie
latter part of September. The income
taxes will be collected with the other
tax levies in the winter tax paying
time.

CHARGES NOT PROVEN.
Committee finds No Evidence That
Legislators are Entertained by Lobby.

Madison has been backed into a
corner, amazed and shocked over
stories Of disgraceful orgies alleged to
have taken place since the legislature
came to the town.
The committee of the assembly, APP
pointed to investigate newspaper
charges that the lobby for the jitney
bill, which passed both houses, cele-
brated victory by entertaining mem
bers of the legislature in questionable
manner, wined and dined members at a
roadhouseo on the road to Middle
ton, just out of Madison, and carried
on celebrations in mysterious room in
the basement of one Of the Madison
hotels, has uncovered little real in
formation.
Chief of Police Thomas Shaughnessy
probably reflects common knowledge
there when he says that Madison is
well regulated city and there is no
place there for entertainment such as
was mentioned in the newspaper report.
The roadhouse'' referred to in the
testimony filed with the committee at
It's meeting in Milwaukee, is frequent
ed by the elite of the capital city as
well as members Of the legislature
Part of Madison's summer life is to
motor to this place and eat steal"
dinners. It IS widely known as
reputable place. The proprietor Frank
Hoover, colored, is regarded as one Of
the interesting characters in Madison.
He has served as steward at the Maple
Golf Club, where the leaders of the
town and gown circles spend most Of
the summer.
The mysterious room in the base
ment of one Of the Madison hotels re-
ferred to, is believed to be a room
which has been occupied for months
by tailor, who works night and day
pressing clothes for the hotel guests.
Startling revelations about 'swick-
ed Madison" are causing smiles in
the capital city.

REDA rs DISCHARGED
Towerman Arrested on Account of Re-
lations with Young Boy Not Held

Towerman Arrested on Account of Re-
lations with Young Boy Not Held
Eugenio Reda, towerman employed
by the Northwestern Railway company
to have charge of the tower at Prairie
avenue and arrested several days ago
on a charge Of having unlawful rela
lions with Frank Zierk, an eight-year-
old boy, was discharged by Judge Ran
dali at the preliminary hearing of the
case in the municipal court on Wednes-
day. The evidence against Reda was
largely contained in the story told by
the boy and it was decidedly conflict
ing. Reda on the stand declared that
there was absolutely no truth in the
story told by the boy and the other
evidence in the case indicated that
it would have been difficult for the
crime to have been committed in the
manner alleged. In discharging Reda
Judge Randall declared that he did
not consider the evidence sufficient to
warrant his holding the towerman on
so serious and so sensational a charge.
