The Excess Fronts Tax.

Nearly all great advances IN the de-
velopment Of American industry have
been due to the enterprise of men OF
unusual ability who were willing to
take large chances in the hope of max
ing large gains. Many Of them failed,
even where the undertaking proved an
ultimate success. Nearly all OF them
passed through period of uncertainty
"a period when threatened bankrupt
CIV meant years of ceaseless toll and
worry. Even after success had crowned
their labors, periods of profit were in
terspersed with periods of loss. They
took the chances, sustained the losses
alone, and shared with the country the
benefits Of success.
These facts should be kept in mind
bv congress when it considers the pro-
posed increase in the excess profits tax.
Practically all large undertakings have
been conducted by men who organized
corporations for the purpose. Those
corporations now pay the usual proper
ty taxes and income taxes the same as
are paid by individuals. They also pay
and have paid for several years net
earnings tax. Under an act of the last
congress they will this year pay tax
Of per cent upon "excess profits, =
the excess being all profits above $4,000
anG eight per cent upon the capital in
vested Tt is now proposed to increase
the excess profits tax.
If the "excess profits" were fixed,
certain and continuous, there could be
little exception taken to a tax of this
kind. But the excess profits of one
year are counterbalanced by the losses
of another. Many q concern that is
prosperous now paid no dividends in
1913-14 before the war began. Many
OF, them will have balances on the
wrong side Of the ledger after the war
is over.
These facts should be kept in mind
by men in congress who are charged
with the duty of imposing taxes in q
fair and equitable manner Investors
in the stocks of corporations should
pay their just proportion of taxes--no
more and no less TO impose taxes I'M
Justly is to discourage investment of
capital in that kind of enterprises in
volving chance of loss in the hope of
large gain. To discourage that sort Of
enterprise is to retard development,
stihe initiative, penalize progress.
We have made some advancement in
the science of economics but we have
not reversed the lesson taught in the
fable of the man who killed the goose
shat laid the golden egg.

Ed, Dayton, Hears
Call to the Co1ors

Edward Dayton, the prize booster of
Kenosha, the man who has helped put
the city on the map in a dozen ways,
heard the call Of his country today and
answered Here. /" Dayton has been
called to the colors and at the urgent
request of Major Mccoy of the Wis
consin National Guard, he placed his
name at the bottom Of an enlistment
blank and went. to Milwaukee for med
zeal examination. He is going to be
one of the shoulder strap men of a
Kenosha company of infantry for the
state guard and he will be commission
ed within a few days as a captain with
full orders to organize a company of
infantry in the city. Mr.. Dayton prom
Uses to put pep behind the movement
to organize a real company Of infantry
for Kenosha. His sacrifice to do his
"bitn is a considerable one as he is
one Of the highest salaried statesmen
working out of Kenosha. The Nc
Laughlin company, by which he has
been employed for many years, told
him to 60 right ahead and serve his
country and that his job would be
waiting for him when the war is over.
FfCaptain = Dayton viii be right on the
job organizing his company today and

With Office at Chamber
( of Commerce.
TODE SIGNED SOON

Kenosha county has an agricultural
agent now. Griffith Richards, formerly
in this capacity for Price county, start
ed his work this morning with Offices
in the Chamber Of Commerce building.
The new agent has not as yet signed
contract with the county and the
state. The contract was to have been
signed on Thursday afternoon, but
Prof. Hatch, who was to represent the
state in the little ceremony, failed to
reach the city and the formal
"signing up" was delayed until later
in the month. The new agricultural
agent will receive a salary Of nineteen
hundred dollars a year and one-half of
this amount will be paid by the state
and the remainder by the county. In
order to get his work started and to
get in touch with the farmers in all
parts of the county, Mr.. Richards plans
to call meetings in every town Of the
county with a view of making some
preliminary study of just what is most
needed in the different towns.
Every line Of work connected with
the farm is going to be matter for
consideration of the new county of
fcials. Just now he is expected to be
the first aid to. the governor in the
movement to secure the production of
larger crops in Kenosha county.
Special agents of the state will
undoubtedly be here to aid him in
this work and it is pretty certain that
land in Kenosha county will be more

Kenosha should give every possible
aid to any bill which will facilitate the
elevation of railway tracks in Wiscon-
sin cities. The lives claimed by the
unprotected grade crossings in Keno
sha in year are worth more than all
the damages any jury could ever assess
against the city to help ray the cost
Of elevation. We always value prop
erty and money higher than we do life.
The only way out of it, is to find some
way to put the bulk of the cost on the
railway company. It may smart under
the lash, but in the long run it viii
bear the burden and elevate the tracks.
