Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-01-19

Unde- 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 it 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 separate PROJECT and rec
ommend that you appropriate a sum
of money for this purpose which will
equal the sums that will be contribute
ed by the United States government.
Insomuch as the counties in which
these trunk lines will be located will
be especially benefited, l recommend
further that you pass law that will
require appropriations in an equal sum
by such counties, the same to be ap-
portioned among the counties upon q
mileage basis.
If this plan is followed we will ex-
pend over $6,O0O,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 $785,000 in state
aid. If we add the contributions made
by the counties and towns we will
spend over $12,0O0,000 under that sys-
tenn during the same period. The
sums that l have named, plus the
money that is being expended by coua-
ties Independent of state aid, will give
our road building organization as
much work as it can intelligently sup
ervise.
Education.
The law which provides for the en-
ployment Of supervising teachers in
our rural schools is beneficial and is
admitted by educators to be an adj
vance step in rural education. l be-
lieve, however, that we will improve
this service and the results that we
will derive from it if we require some
special training as a qualification for
this position.
I also recommend that the minimum
salary fixed by law for rural school

nearly fifty per cent. I recommend
that that statute which permits the tax
payer to use his personal property tax
receipt as an offset for income tax be
repealed.
l also recommend the repeal Of the
law under which the owner of home
is compelled to pay an income tax on
it's rental value. / do this because !
believe such a tax is unfair and I'M
just.
call your attention to the numerous
recommendations made by the Tax
Commission. Their report has been
placed upon your desks. / cannot
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 Sc, $3.50, 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 it's 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 tax 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 1t 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 judy
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. It
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 q
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 $16,0CO,-
OOO 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
$1,925,416. The appropriation covers a
period of five years and is made avail
able in the following sums:

Additional buildings are requested
by the University, the State Normal

In view of the present high cost Of
material I believe it a wise policy for
the state to defer all building opera
tions, except such as are absolutely
necessary, to a time when material can
be secured at reasonable prices, and

child to walk III to the counter and
take advantage OF the bargains.
The origin Of the bargain day in a
public library is not a WATERFOWL IN
vention, but it has brought such won
derful results wherever tried that
Waterfowl, feeling the need OF some
thing, is going to try the experiment
Bargain day IS simply this: per
hitting patrons H 10 feIuTn oNeIuue
books without attaching the penalty,
and without any argument on Dues
lions being asked. If yon have q book
that you have had on hand long
time and considerable fine is now
charged up against you for keeping
ii u overtime, bargain day means
that q can return It on that day
and no questions viii be asked. The 1,
librarian SAYS there are lot of
books gu that should be returned and
this occasion should mark an event
OF more than ordinary Importance
Remember the day and date, SatuI-
day, September 10Th. Bring back
your books and be forgiven.
