POLITICAL MEET
EQUALITY LEAGUE

On Wednesday. March z. the Re
litical Equality league was addressssR
by Miss Leila johnson on the subject
of Taxation Miss Johnson dealt
with it from the practical side, taking
up the general property tax. stats,
county and local in one, the income
tax and the inheritance tax, speaking
also of the boards of review, whose
purpose 1t is to correct nnfairness or
injustice in the levying of taxes.
The rate of taxation Of incomes va
ries with every additional $1000.ee
above the amount exempt from taxs~
ton. OF the amount collecteS.
20 per cent goes to the locality, 90
per cent to the county and 10 pec
cent to the state.
In the Inheritance tax the rate va
ries with the degree of RELATIONSHIPS
between the heir and deceased. a.
widow has $4,000 exempt; a chfsa
$4,000. n
Miss Johnson gave some figures GA
local taxation which interested her
audience.
The estimated tax for the year, ex-
elusive of schools, $69,135; tax for
schools, $29,7O0; from fees, licenses.
etc., $4,000. Tuition paid by non-
resident pupils, $4,000. Other figures
were also given.
Following Miss Johnson's talk Mrs.
e. A. Runge read a part of the Rd-
dress given by the president Of the
State Suffrage association, Mrs. YoN-
mans, at the state convention held In
Madison.
The address was a forcible plea for
organization and work throughout tina
state. Mrs. Youmans said that wom-
an suffrage would not come Of itself;
that it is the result of unremittiAg
toll; that success will result from or
ganiZation, fairness, reasonableness
and courtesy and political pressure
brought to bear on legislators.
A communication was also present
ed to the league asking for lists oe
names Of persons who favor woman
suffrage. Pursuant to this request Il
was voted to secure such names.
The April meeting of the league
was postponed from the first to the
second Wednesday of the month.

PLASTER DOCTOR"
AGAIN IN TROUBLE

1t Is not SO long ago since various
Kendall people held the belief that
"Dr." John Till with his plasters could
get half-Nelson on pretty much any
disorder, and there are some not far
from here who tested his alleged abil.
ity to cure.
Till, who has been doing business
at the old stand near New Richmond
for long time, is again in trouble.
According to dispatches, he is to be
sued for the death of Peter Kahl, who
died last week. Coroner Jones, who
is practicing physician, signed a
death certificate stating that Kahl's
death was a homicide. The cause of
death is given as blood poisoning re-
sulting from gangrene and liberation
caused by the application Of a Till
plaster.
Kahl, a farmer of Willow Lake, s.
D., came to the home Of his brother,
Henry Kahl, on Sunday Monday he
went to DR.. Till and had an applica-
tion made to his back as treatment for
spinal trouble, according to the broth
er. He returned Monday night.
'He grew weaker every day." the
brother said, "until on Thursday we
called DR.. Till on the telephone. We
asked him if we had better call doc
tor. He told us not to worry-that
Peter would be all right. When we
told him that his back was a mass Of
sores and blisters he said that was
just the way he wanted it and that
Peter should come back for a second
treatment Tuesday next week"
Kahl died the next day.

Dead Horse Hiil
We are located now at Dead Horse
Hill, SO named on account Of near
ly impossible hill from which so
many horses have slipped and fallen
from the narrow bride path to the
rocks hundreds of feet below, that the
foot of the hill Is strewn with their
bodies. This camp is situated on the
upper Susitna river approximately
120 miles from Anchorage, and so
miles south of the famed Broad Pass.
This is the winter, and presumably
next summers headquarters for the
Talkeetna district of the Anchorage
division. It is near the center of this
district and in the locality of much
of it's heaviest work. Twenty miles
further north, at the junction of the
Indian and Susitna rivers, which is
also at the head of navigation, is the
site for one of the largest of the spring
camps and also for large warehouses.
There are now Is people at Dead
Horse, including five women, four
children, sixteen Office men and Off
cia1s, and the balance labOrers. We
are furnished small frame houses by
the commission, which, after having
the walls filed with sawdust are warm
and comfortable in any weather. The
coldest weather this winter has been
forty below zero, and that for only
three days. The mildness of the win
ter is scarcely believable, for we have
had but very few days Of zero wealth
er and practically no cold weather un-
til after New Years. / truly believe
that of the two, Wisconsin winters
are the most severe, although not as
long. However, | am forced to admit
we have abundance of snow. In fact
we have about seven feet on hand and
more falling. AS Chief Nickle Eye,
ekief of the Talkeetna Indians, pre-
dicted, it would be two Indians deep
this winter.
Our wood and provision supply is
good, and we have absolutely nothing
to fear, except spring with it's hard
work. Our periods Of daylight arr
getting noticeably longer now, but
through December we had but from
one to three hours we could see tC
work or read without our candles.
Amusements
We have a fine group at this camp
and spend our time very enjoyably,
by furnishing our own amusements
They are mostly sleighing, snowshoe
ing parties, and dancing to Victrola
music. In fact, I very much doubt
if anywhere in Uncle Sans domain
is to be found crowd enjoying the
