WISCONSIN FOURTH
IN LOW DEATH RATE
KANSAS, UTAH AND MINNESOTA
EXCEL AMONG 25 STATES
IN CENSUS TAKEN.
27,181 DIE DURING YEAR
The Death Rate Per 1000 for the Four
Leading States is, Kansas, 90;
Utah 10.1; Minnesota 1916;
Wisconsin III.

Madison.-Only three states-Kan-
sas, Utah and Minnesota-of the terri
tory embraced in the registration area
had lower death rate in 1914 than
Wisconsin. This is revealed in new
census figures on mortality made pub
lie by the department of commerce.
The area covered comprises twenty
five states and thirty-two cities in non
registration states, and contained two
thirds 1857 per cent? of the total esti-
mated population of the United States
in 1914
For the four leading states named,
the death rates per 1000 population
were as follows: Kansas, 9.8; Utah,
10.1; Minnesota, 10.6; Wisconsin, Ill.
WiscOnsin's mortality ratio was based
/. on total deaths during the year of
27,181
Among the states for which death
rates for 1901-1905 are given, the great
est proportional decrease between that
period and 1914 is shown for Rhode
Island, ia per cent. Next in order
are New York, with a decrease of IA
per cent; New Jersey, 118 per cent !;
Massachusetts, ia per cent; Yer
mont, IA per cent; Connecticut, 3.8
per cent; Indiana, 2.3 per cent; Maine,
10 per cent; New Hampshire, 18 per
cent Michigan alone showed a slight
increase-eight-tent of l per cent.

TAX LAW PUZZLES
STATE TREASURER
ASKS COURT TO DEFINE MEAS
URE AFFECTING MANY WIS
CONSIN CITIES.
TIES UP S150,0O0 FUND
Statute Regarding Railroad Docks,
Piers, Wharves and Grain
Elevators Is Considered
to Be Vague.

Madison.-State Treasurer Henry
Philip and the members of the state
tax commission, decided to refuse to
pay to Milwaukee, Superior, Manito-
voc and other municipalities interest
ed any of the taxes to be collected on
railroad docks, piers, wharves and
grain elevators as provided by chapter
4O7, laws of 1915, until the Wisconsin
Supreme court has passed on the con-
stitutionality of the statute
1t is estimated that the taxes to be
collected under this statute will
amount to $150,000, of which 10 per
cent is to be retained by the state
and the rest apportioned among the
different communities in which the
taxed property is located.
The law provides that the state tax
commission shall make a separate
valuation of this property before it
certlfies the state railroad taxes to
the secretary of state in January and
that the state treasurer shall collect
the taxes of the property and after
deducting Is per cent for the state,
return the balance to the communities
in which the property is situated
The state treasurer told the COVER
nor and tax commissioners that in
view of the doubt he had concerning
the constitutionality of the statute, he
believed that no money should be paid
out by him under it until the Supreme
court had held the law valid.

observation-disclosures led the states
in value of mineral water sold in 1913,
and was second only to New York in
quantity of output. This is shown in
a report of the department of the in
terror received here The total sales
were 6.326,533 gallons, valued at
$S72,518, and nine-tenths of the output
was sold for table use. The 1913 out
put represented an increase of 5 per
cent in quantity and of less than / per
cent in value The average price de-
creased about one-half cent a gallon.
In addition to the quantity reported
as sold, 100000 gallons were used in
the manufacture of soft drinks. Thirty
four active springs were being operat-
ed in the state during the year report
ed on.
The average price per ga on of Wis
consin spring water was IA cents. The
total value of medicinal water was
$S3,982, and of table water $7SS,536,
making a total value of $872,51S. The
state of New York leads in the num-
Der of commercial springs, quantity of
water sold and value of table water,
and nearly ties Wisconsin for first
place in total value, though the value
of medicinal water marketed from
New York is relatively low.
The sales of table water in New
York and Wisconsin are more than
twice as great as those in any other
state. These were the only states re-
porting sales of more than 100000
gallons of water.

MAY REQUIRE EXAMS
ONE IMPORTANT STATE APPOINT.
MENT is HELD UP.
Positions of Developer and That of
Statistician Up to the Civil
Service Commission.

Madison-Of two of the most i'm
portant appointments made recently
by any state body, one has been held
up by the civil service commission
and the other may meet the same fate
The first was the appointment Of G..
L. Glynn as developer" for the state
board of industrial education at a sal
airy of $4,000 a year. The civil service
commission considered the appoint
ment at a recent meeting and took it
under advisement
According to John Hardwood, the
position is unquestionably under civil
service. Mr.. Glynn has had charge Of
an industrial school at New Haven,
Conn, and expected to come to Wis
consin the first of the year.
The second appointment is that
made by the state board of education
York, chief statistician of the board
at a salary of $4,000 year. According
to Mr.. Hazelwood this position is also
under civil service. Whether either
of the two appointees will have to take
examination remains with the board
Mr. Buckingham's position can be
best described as educational accoun-
tant and budget preparer for the state
board of education. Under the law
creating this board, it is given exclu-
sive financial control of the institu-
tons of higher education in the state

SEEK EXPLANATION OF LAW
State Board of Control Wants the
Attorney General to Construe
Mothers Pension Act

Madison.-The state board of con-
troll asked the attorney general wheth-
er counties could be compelled by law
to make an appropriation for mothers
pensions, and whether boards of super
visors which failed to do so at the
November meeting may legally do so
at the January meeting.
Three county judges asked the board
of control if they could be compelled
to sign orders for the payment of aid
to destitute mothers under the law if
their board of supervisors had not ap-
propriated money for that purpose.
The statute is compulsory, but only
twenty-seven of the forty-one counties
from which reports have been received
by the board of control have made ap-
preparations for mothers pensions.

TO FIGHT CANAL PROJECT
Wisconsin Mayors of Lake Port Towns
Will Confer to Form
Protest to u. S.

Milwaukee.-Mayor G. A. Bading
was instructed by resolution passed
by the common council to call a con-
ference of mayors of Wisconsin cities
on the great lakes to take steps to
protest to the federal government
against the proposal to increase the
flow of water into the Chicago drain
age canal.
1t was declared that the diversion
of more water would lower the level
of the lakes.
The resolution, which was introduc-
ed by Alderman Henry Smith, declares
that the project ''is advanced osten-
sibly in the interest of cheap transpor-
tation, but is really commercial en-
terprise calculated to yield large re-
turn from hydro-electric sources with
out regard to the disastrous effect
upon navigation interests of the great
lakes"

Henry SeCoy Ran Away at Outbreak
of Civil War-Became Prosperous
in Missouri

Grand Rapids-Henry SeCoy, sup
posed to have been dead for fifty-one
years, surprised his uncles, Jerome
and George Adams, of near Almond,
by social call. SeCoy ran away at
the outbreak of the war fifty-one years
ago and had not been heard of since.
The relatives had supposed him dead,
but SeCoy had gone to Missouri, where
he became a prosperous citizen. Be-
ing curious to know whether any of
the relatives still resided at Almond,
SeCoy came up to investigate and
greatly surprised his many relatives
in that vicinity.
