DRAFT MACHINE is MADE READY

The county clerk has received a let
ter from Gov. Phillip containing some
of the blanks and instructions relative
to the selective conscription system
that is expected to be set in operation
in Oneida county possibly within few
days. The war department has de-
cided to use the regular election ma
chinery in making the draft list, the
governor writes. The regular election
boards will register the eligible men
and, as far as possible, the regular
polling places will be used The coun-
ty clerk will notify the officials involved
as he does at the general election.
Blanks and stationery have been for
warded to Sheriff Hans Rodd and will
be turned over to the clerk for distri-
button in the manner usual at election
time.
The expenses of this registration of
fighters is to be borne in the same man.
ner as the general election expenses,
according to bill of the state legisla-
ture. However, the governor asks, in
view of the great war cost that is loom
ing, that the registering officers do not
ask for pay for their services on regis
tration day although they have the le-
gal right to do so if they wish.
All male citizens from 81 to 30 years
of age inclusive must register for the
draft.
Sample registration cards have been
sent to the county clerk. One is for
the inspectors to retain and provides
spaces for number, full name and home
address of the person drafted, date of
birth, citizenship whether American
born, naturalized, declared intention or
alien), where born, present occupation
or trade, by whom employed, partic-
uars of family solely dependent upon
signer, whether married or single, race
and what military service he has had
with branch or rank. The signer is al
so asked "Do you claim exemption
from draft? Specify grounds. -
Another little blue card is to be
signed by the registrar, gives per-
sonal description of the person to whom
issued and certifies that the bearer has
been duly registered upon the date
specified. The person receiving this
Registration Certificate" is to carry
it upon the person. Rhinelander New
North.
County Clerk Munroe States that a
supply of registration cards and blanks
has been received at his Office in read
mess for registration of all men in
Rusk county subject to military duty.
The date for registration has not yet
been received, but as the CONSUMPTION
law will probably be passed by Con-
gress today, President Wilson will
doubtless set the date at once.

saving the taxpayer from paying such
heavy taxes.
Let us look to where the greatest
part of our taxes go.
From July LIST, 1915, to July LIST, 1916,
there was paid into the city treasury
as taxes the sum of $21, O00.0 90 and dur
ing this same time there was paid into
the treasury of the public schools the
sum of $27,0 900. 90, showing that we pay
taxes combined. AS a rule no one
kicks about school taxes, and they
should not if the school funds are
judicially and economically spent.
We all want good schools to properly
educate our children but we do not
want to pay too dearly for it on ac-
count of poor management in school
affairs. l would like to ask a few ques-
tons of the school board:
l. Was it a good business PROPOSE
ton to pay SO, 900. 90 for the old Bap-
fist church and lot?
2. Was it proper and legal to buy
this property behind closed doors, pay
ing out $10.000.0 90 of the taxpayers
money and tell them of it afterwards ?
8. Is it legal and right to employ an
architect to draw plans for a $3.50.
10000 high school building without
first publicly advertising for bids and
receiving competitive prices and plans i?
would add that in the face of the
schools receiving more than $4,000. 90
in taxes every year than the whole city
does, would it not be a good thing for
the "kickers" to direct some of their
kicks toward the school board and no.
spend all their time on the city coun.

the organization of boys directing the

What then a be expected of the
| electors in a state where the indiffer-
ent voter is more prevalent than in any
state excepting Texas. Surely here, if
anywhere, the foundations of democ-
racy need bu%ttressing. Shall we then
permit this Indifferent voter to be the
deciding factor in the welfare Of the
community in which he lives? If a
citizen is not interested enough in the
common welfare TO come out and be
counted for or against a measure,
surely it is not right that he be allowed
to block progress. Welfare measures,
particularly those of an educational
nature, areseldom received with the
enthusiasm they merit. They must be
demonstrated to be appreciated by the
majority of people.

Ike wild fire in consequence. In two
years after that first meeting in
Rochester there were sixteen clubs
with a membership of 800.
Edward J. Ward was called to the
Wisconsin University to promote the
idea in that state, so that It is now
honey-combed with social centers 10
the extent that it is widely known as
the Wisconsin Idea" That il has
PASSED the experimental stage and is A
well demonstrated benefit is attested
by the fact that the Federal Govern
ment has called Mr.. Ward to its ser
vice in the promotion of the work in
the wider national field. And yet our
legislators would, by the bill as it now
stands, practically put beyond the
reach of the average community the
benefits derivable from this institu-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that they will
again vote to reconsider, if it has not
already passed to its final ratification.
Even so, it is possible to amend a law.
And South Dakota should be put upon
the map in this matter. 1t has been
well said that Statesmen lead and the
people follow; politicians follow hut
never lead" And here is the oppor-
tunity for our statesmen to lead our
people upon a broad and well travelled
highway where even the politician
need encounter no barriers.
