Means Over $4,000 to the City of
Washburn as Aid for Schools
Every Town and City in the County will
Share in the Income Tax Money of
the Town of BarkSdale


THE Barksdale Income Tax
Law" was passed by the legis-
lature on Monday of this week
and has been signed by Govern
or Phillip which makes it a law.
The bill provides that where a
town or city in the state receives
an income tax in excess of two
percent of the assessed valuation
of the town or city that the
amount in excess of the two per
cent will be apportioned to the
to the towns and cities of the
county accordingssto the number
of school children in the county.
There is only one case in Wis
consin where the law would ap-
ply at the present time and that
is in the town of Barksdale and
as result of the passage of the
law every town and city in the
county will profit by the i'm
mense earnings of the Powder
company in the town of Barks-
dale and of the income tax
money collected by that town.
The city of Washburn's pro-
portion of the income tax money
for the coming year is estimated
at something in excess of $4,000
and the other towns and cities in
county will share proportionate-
ly.
The fight for the passage of
the bill in the legislature was
made principally by the peopleof
the city of Washburn, although
other towns and cities the coun-
ty aided inthe fight. The people
of the town of Barksdale were
also agreeable to the passage of
the bill and the only objection
came from sources at work at
Madison.
To d. M. Maxcy of Washburn
belongs a great deal of credit for
the passage of the bill, for
Mr.. Maxcy made numerous trips
to Madison in the interest of
the bill interviewing members
and explaining the situation in
Bayfield, county where the law
would apply and he succeeded
in getting the members of the
Legislature to see the right side
of the measure.
The situation at Barksdale
where about $3.50, 900 will be re-
ceived in income tax money the
coming season is a peculiar one.
The immense powder plant of
the Dupont company is located
in that town although practical
ly all of the workmen at the
plant are residents of the city of
Washburn and surrounding
territory. Very few of the en-
ployees are residents of the
town of Barksdale in which the
plant is located. AS a result of
the immense earnings of the
Powder company the town last
year received an income tax of
$4,000 and it is estimated that
this year they will receive in the
neighborhood of $3.50, 900.
This was more money than the
town needed for the building Of
schools, roads. bridges, town ex-
penses and the like and a fight
was made to have the money
spread upon the roads on
the county system in the vicinity
of Barksdale. To do this the
county board added more terri
tory to the town of Barksdale
but the people of the town OBJ
jected strenuously to this pro-
ceedure and decided to contest
the matter in the courts. A
compromise was then effected
and the territory that was at
tached to Barksdale by the coun-
ty board was taken from the

Bayfield, County Beats all Govern
ment Estimates as to Number

ter for Service in Uncle Sans
Great Army.

sixteen hundred and sixty IN
number, went to the polls on
Tuesday, June 9Th, and regis
tered for military service in
Uncle Sans great army and
navy, doing so without a MUIR
mer, except in one or two in
dividual cases. That was the
total number given in the mes
sages which were flashed over
the wires to the office of County
Clerk Oscar on Tuesday night
and forwarded again to the Gov
ernor and on to the President of
the United States.
The number exceeded all ex-
pectations, it was greater than
the estimate placed for Bayfield,
county by Government officials
in their best estimate which was
but 1923. The number will un-
doubtedly be cut down a trife by
the County Board OF Registration
when the cards are complied for
some figures given do not tally
with the number of signed cards.
And the registrars in the diff
ferent towns and cities in the
county are to be congratulated
for the speed with which they
handled returns. Where iii the
regular elections it sometimes
takes several days to receive the
returns, on Tuesday the time
was cut down to two hours when
the last treturn had been received.
The registrars obeyed instruc-
tions to the letter. The time for
the closing of the registration
places had barely passed when
the telephones began bringing
in the returns. Outlying pre-
cincts which are usually slow
rushed their returns to the near
est telephone to get their mes
sages to the County Clerk.
In the town of Namakagon
Chairman James Good had to
drive a distance of twelve miles
to the nearest telephone but the
returns from that town were in
less than a half hour after the
closing of the polls. Town of
Russell came within five minutes
after time for closing and so on
down through the towns. The
town of Eileen was the last to
report. Chairman Curry drove
to Ashland and took the train to
Washburn and arrived with his
returns at five minutes to eleven.
County Clerk Oscar was kept
on the jump handling the figures
and when Eileen totals were
added to the other towns, the
figures were in the hands of
Governor Phillip within five
minutes afterwards.
Just think of returns from
every precinct insBayield county
in the hands of the Governor at
Madison within two hours and
fifteen minutes after the closing
of the polls.
Under the heading of legisla-
tive, judicial or executive officers
there was one in Bayfield, county.
Thirty-fve persons registered as

of the troops are absent from the post

such a good brand of umpiring as

There was some dissatisfaction on
the decision of Hollingsworth in the

Chief who fired it to first for what
seemed a sure put out, but Mr. Hol-
lingsworth ruled otherwise. That de-
cision gave the 25th Infantry the
game.
A brief summary of the scoring fol-
lows:
The 32nd Infantry drew first blood
in the third when they scored one

making a bum heave to infield, Chief

Russia will never conclude separ-
ate peace with Germany There is
absolutely no truth 10 the report Rus

war through to the end, one, two, five

This Is the opinion Of Nikolas Ter
guine, official Of the Russian govern
ment here today on the Shinyo Maru
en- route from Petrograd TO the United
States and Canada. Terguine's mis-
SIGN Is 70 organize the banking methods
by which money from Russians in
North America is TO be sent through
10 their mother country.
Docs Not Forecast End ..-..
I'VE do not predict when the war
Will close" said Terguine today with q
shrug OF his shoulders. I'VE believe
that Germany Is desperate. and that
her back Is TO the wall, but we also
know she is determined to fight to the
very end.
1T 10 largely a psychological matter,
depending upon the length Of time the
German people themselves are willing
10 stand by the orders OF the military.
This cannot be forever; there is bound
TO be breaking point when the popu-
lace will no longer sacrifice them
selves 70 the slaughter"
Changes Opinion on WIIsen
Russian people regarded President
Wilson's peace note as one favoring
Germany, he says, but now they be
l.eve IL was written for the purpose
OF finding exactly how various nations
stood on the situation.
The Russian government has 5000.
600 men at the front now, with 3,000,-
900 additional scattered here and there
about the empire. AlPclasses OF men
are united in this war, which they con-
sider as the last great war in Europe.
The war with Japan was not looked
upon as national conflict but only
one involving the eastern districts of

ally In this war;" he says.
Greetings TO Gen. Johnson
Mr.. Terguine brought greetings to-
day TO Brig.-Gen.. Samuel L Johnson
