SAME OLD CROWD RUNS REPUBLICAN
 PARTY,SAYS HUNT.
Business Men of Country Realize Talk of Incompet-
 ence is. False.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Henry T. Hunt, former mayor of Cincinnati. veteran of red-hot Ohio political fights, and now Secretary of the Wilson Business Mems National League at 2S0 Madison avenue, New York City, said, today that the league was in touch through it's branches with business men in practically every city and town in the United States and that it was aston ishing how universally business men were convinced that the same old crowd" was running the Republican party
 They feel" said MT. Hunt, that MT, Hughes, as was the case with MT. Taft, is surrounded by men who know exactly what they want and that what they want will be good for them but bad for the rest of the country, They feel that during President Wilson's Administration power has lain in the people and not, as before his time for a generation, in the hands of the same old crowd.'
 eff the Republicans who cherish the Idea that business men as a class are antagonistic to President Wilson had &ccess to our correspondence from illinois Michigan. Ohto.-the Great Middle West generally indeed-they would be stunned. Men whose per sonal investments aggregate millions of dollars and whose responsibilities extend to every field of industry in these states have sent us hundred of finite fashion that they do not trust ft1<, ,<~t> <,P many of them have been lifelong Republicans IE
 z The day Is past when business men can be buffaloed Into supporting Re- publican candidates by talk of Demo- cratic incompetence and coming catas- trophe. Gloomy prophecies don't sit we'll with the facts These men say, too. that President Wilson's adminiss tration has shown more sympathy for business difficulties and assisted bust ness more efficiently than any which has preceded it."
 MT Hunt was asked what seemed to strike the business men as the most important step taken by the Adminis- tration in helping business.
 The Currency Law he replied. "coupled with President wilson's com viction that tariff making is a scien- tific and not political matter. They believe in the tariff commission, whose function is to keep the tariff schedules and industry under constant observation, with a view to correcting whatever ineQuatities may. develop. They are reluctant to, have buanesP face the long continued uncertainty of tar1ff-making on the Payne-Aldrich plan. which MT. Hughes seems to fa+ vor. They fefl, MT. Hunt added, ''that the asitationl of . new tariff, invari- ably causes uneasiness in business cir cles. That's what these business men feelEthat the eleeti6n of Hughes would hamstring husinesz" M

written along the above lines, but it is enough to say at this time that outside of the army preparedness legislation which has been given the country by the Wilson administration, four dreAdnaughts and four battle cruisers Pf the largest and most pow erful type have been provided for in the navy program for the first year. Before July 1, 1919, there will have been added to the navy ten battle ships. six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, 50 torpedo boat destroyers, nine fleet submarines. 58 coast sub marines and auxiliaries. And yet the enemies of the Wilson administration are still bowling their heads off for preparedness, which Is already here.

be paid to the city will be in excess of
100000, the remaining to go to the
state and the county.
Nearly every cent of the amount as
sessed as corporation income tax is col
lectable and it is not expected that it
will show a shrinkage Of more than
two or three thousand dollars. Much
of this great tax will be offset by the
amounts paid in personal property tax
but the balance to be paid as income
tax in the city will probably mount far
over the hundred thousand dollar mark.
This will be more than five times the
amount thai the city realized from the
income tax in 1915.
The income on which these taxes
were levied was the earnings of corpo-
rations-not this year-but during the
year ending with the first of December
OF last year and it is pretty certain
that when the income tax is figured on
the incomes earned this year that it
will soar even higher than the amount
levied at this time.
The most pertinent thing in the big
increase In the corporation income tax
IS the fact that it will greatly increase
the money to be paid to the city as
taxes next year. More than ninety-fve
per cent of all the income taxes levied
Tor the county are levied in the city
and while there will of course be slight
losses IN the collection of this tax they
Will amount to only small per cent of
the total amount assessed.
The amount of this tax is going to
come as surprise to the members of
the finance committee Of the city coun-
ell. 1t is not expected that the mill tax
Will be reduced as a result but it may
make it possible for the city to find an
abundant revenue for running expenses
In the coming year without making any
increase in the levy.
The list of corporation taxes as as
sessed is not given out for publication
by the State Tax Commission but tbe
list is on file at the office of the county
clerk and any one interested in know
ing the earnings and the taxes to be
paid by any or all of the city corpora
lions may find these facts by going to
the clerk s Office and seeking the in
come tax roll. The State Tax Commits
sion itself made the assessments but if
IS declared that nearly every one of the
big income returns noted for Kenosha
corporations were voluntary returns r.
the board.
Within the next ten days the amount
OF income tax, both individual and cor
poration to be collected in the towns
and in the city viii be certified to the
city and town clerks and it will ba
made part of the tax rolls now being
written.

LARGEST IN COUNTY HISTORY
Total Is More Than Three Times AS
Great as the Tax Levied Year Ago
and Many Companies Show Tripled
Incomes Over the Former Year.


The prosperity Of Kenosha is reflect
ed in the corporation income tax assess
ment which was made public today and
the total amount to be paid by corpora
lions In Kenosha county for income tax
next year is $234,102.27. This is con-
siderably over three times the amount
ever paid by corporations in Kenosha
county in any previous year. It is the
biggest income tax ever assessed
against Kenosha county and it is prob
able that the report of the state tax
commission will show that it is the
largest corporation income tax paid in
any county in Wisconsin outside of
Milwaukee. 1t is much larger than the
tax paid in any county outside of Mil
waukee in the history of the collection
of the income tax in Wisconsin.
In many cases the incomes of corpo-
rations in the city show that they have
been tripled since the last report was
made to the income tax assessor. With
this record breaking income tax on the
corporations the total of the income
tax to be collected in Kenosha county
for the coming year amounts to $685.
