WOULD CHANGE AUTO TAX
Legislators Favor Doing Away With
Personal Tax and Grading License
Fee By Horsepower.

Madison-Legislat at the coming
session are inclined to look with favor
on that part of the tax commission re
port which would change the automo-
bile license fee. The commission adj
vised doing away with the personality
tax, and grading the license fee on
motor cars by horsepower.
Other states on the average have
higher auto license taxes than Wiscon-
sin. The systems used are charges
based directly on the power; charges
by classes according to power; com
bination of weight and power classi-
fication; a capacity classification.
In all of the states but seven per
sonal property tax is charged in adj
dition to the license fee. In states
where motor truck travel is becoming
heavy, the question of tonnage tax
is under discussion.

CREAMERY Has BIG YEAR
Butter Factory's Receipts for 1916
Total over $4,000 Setting
New Record.

Barron-The year 1915, due to the
great demand for creamery butter,
was the most prosperous year in the
history of the Barron creamery, claim
ed the largest butter manufacturing
plant in the world.
1t is said that the record of no other
creamery in this section of the United
States approaches that of the Barron
plant for the year just closing. The
receipts of the concern were over
100000, a figure far above that of
1915. The creamery produced over
100000 pounds of butter, about 1OO,-
900 pounds more than last year.
These figures give an idea of the ad-
vance which Barron count has made
in a. dairy way. Over $1,000,000 worth
of creamery butter is made each year,
and the cheese factory produce is the
source of another big revenue. Sixty
three cents a pound is now being paid
for the butter fat used in cheese man.
ufacture. Many new factories were
put into operation during the year,
and more will follow if the price of
butter does not advance.
During December the creamery here
obtained 232,519 pounds of cream,
which resulted in 64,097.9 pounds of
butter fat. The 500 patrons. received
AZ cents per pound.
