Scents in Ancient Eaypt.

Egypt was great market for all
kinds Of perfumes. Women made them,
selves beautiful through the use of
essences, and guests were received In
chambers strewn with flowers. Even
the dead were not forgotten, for the
embalmed mummy was saturated with
perfumes and spices, and sweet scents
were burned before their statues.
Those who could not afford this paint
ed scent bottles on their tombs.

agree to the proposition that personal
property shall be removed from the
tax roll According to the report of
the Commission that class OF property
yielded S5,680,728 in taxes in 1915. In
view of the growing demand for public
improvements, all of which will neces-
state the expenditure of large sums
of money, the state cannot afford TO
reduce its revenues. If the system is
changed and personal property is
exempt, the loss of revenue must be
made up in some other way and the
greater part will naturally fall upon
our real estate. Our income tag is al
ready high. The same people who pay
the income tax to the state pay an In
come tax TO the national government
and II would seem that the amount
that is now demanded from that class
of tax payers should not be further in
creased. To do so would. in my judg-
ment, interfere with the industrial de-
velopment of our state.
Highways.
One of the most important subjects
that you are called upon to consider
during this session is the matter of de-
vising an economical and effective sys-
tenn of highway construction. The de-
mand for better roads is general. 1t
is, however, a project that involves
tremendous expenditure of money and
we should, therefore, approach 1t in a
spirit of conservatism The size of the
undertaking is best understood when
we consider it in connection with the
fact that the state has over 10000
miles of highways, the greater part OF
which need to be rebuilt If we expect
to bring all of our public roads to a
satisfactory standard
| wish particularly to impress upon
you the necessity of making provision
for the proper maintenance of the
roads that are built. Nearly 5000
miles of state aid roads have been
built since the beginning of the state
aid system, at cost of about $4,000
900. No provision was made for the
maintenance of these roads, with the
result that sections which were built
two and three years ago are worn out
and the investments has, therefore,
been lost
The Congress of the United States
has appropriated sum Of money to
aid the states in the construction OF
post roads. The total amount that will
come to our state from that source is
81 ,925,416. The appropriation covers a
period of five years and is made avail
able in the following sums.

Under the provisions of the act
which appropriates these amounts the
aid from the government can be used
only for the purpose of construction
and no part of ii can be used for pur-
chasing right of way, for engineering
cost, or any other preliminary work.
The law provides further that the
state must spend at least an equal sum
for the same purpose, the road must be
continuous, and must, therefore, be
part of a trunk line system, the plans
for which are subject to approval by
the United States Commissioner OF
Agriculture.
In order to secure federal aid it is
necessary for the state to undertake
the building of system OF trunk line
roads as a separate PROJECT and rec
ommend that you appropriate sum
of money for this purpose which VIII
equal the sums that win be contribut-
ed by the United States government
Insomuch as the counties in which
these trunk lines will be located will
~
further that you pass law that will
require appropriations in an equal sum
by such counties, the same to be APP
portioned among the counties upon a
mileage basis.
II this plan IL followed we will ex-
pend over $6.000,000 in the construc-
ton of federal aid roads in the next
FIVE years. The appropriation passed
by the last Legislature provides for an
annual expenditure OF $7S5.000 in state
aid If we add the contributions made
by the counties and towns we will
spend over $12,000,000 under that sys'
tenn during the same period. The
sums that have named plus the
money that is being expended by coun-
ties independent of state aid, will give
our road building organization as
much work as it can intelligently sup
ervise.

Under our system Of taxation real

Philips message to the Wisconsin

In entering upon your duties as leg

necessary, to time when material can
be secured at reasonable prices, and

The appropriations that are recon-
mended have been kept within the
states income. If the appropriations
which you will make are kept within
the limits suggested by the revising
boards, the probable excess of the
states revenues for the same period
will be $77f,140.00 The estimates OF
expenditures do not include any appro-
priations for new state buildings. The
indications are that the states reven-

money to complete the building oper-
ations authorized by the legislatures Of

ACCIDENTS ON DECREASE SAYS
 JORDAN HEAD

In proportion to the ever increasing number of automobiles in use and the additional thousands who are daily riding in them, it is generally admitted that motor car acidents are decreasing Is this due to more conservatism on the part of motorists, or can it be true that the industry has at last achieved that apparently unachievable ideal the manufacture of q fool proof car?
 Edward s. Jordan, head Of the Jor- dan Motor Car company of Cleveland. Ohio explains that the decrease in ac~ cidents is because speed mania ia giv ing way to common sense
 Of co-lse it was not long ago when the automobile accident was more or l-ss the staple news ot the day. said Jordan to group of newspapermen in Cleveland recently. Tt crowded all other news material, on Mondays fol- lowing fine weather in the country. It was the standby of the coroner and it kept the repairers of telephone poles in steady jobs.
 That situation was for the reason that when a thing is new it is most sen sational In the early days, the rail- road engine took triple the toll of lives that it takes now. Even the bicycle hu the nation half crazy with fright al one time There were Sundays when the century riders and bicycle spooners were out, that it was almost as much cs pedestrians life was worth 10 ven ture out on the highway.
 When the gasoline motor car was first introduced, women shuddered at the very thought of driving It. It was q mans job and a job for strong man, at that. This impression was largely due to the fact that the auto mobile was new. It furnished more speed than any other self propelled vehicle and those who had the oppor- tunity to drive it were making the most of it's speed capabilities.
 Gradually, however, tne speed mania has become no Ionge-' q sensa = ton and it is as unpopular among motorists as it is among other people This in itself has added much to mo- toring safety. Then, too, tue improve ments in automobile construction and driving control have tended toward public safety. Instead of reckless young men endangering pedestrians with high powered motor cars, we find women, elderly gentlemen end the most careful and conservative individuals driving them today.
 The development and improvement in motor car construction and the gen eral passing of the speed mania in my opinion, account for the encoura sing decrease in accidents"

 Every motorist, as a matter of com mon decency, ought to have his lights so adjusted or protected that he will not blind other users of the highways. Sixteen or seventeen states now have anti-glare laws, but no respectable mo- torist needs a law to make him do so obviously right a thing.
