Man Who Wants to Pay
Kenosha's State Tax This
Year Can Get Off for
Just a Dollar Seventy.
TOTAL BILL is s1O4,OO0
County Is Not Called Upon to Pay
Tax for General State Purposes But
Schools and Institutions Present
Big Bills to the County.

IF there is some high minded phil
anthropist in Kenosha county who
wants to hand down to posterity the
record of having for one year at least
lifted the entire burden of state tax
from the shoulders of Kenosha county
people this is his chance. He can
gain his renown by plunging
across with exactly $170. This is bar
gain year for state taxes. Of course
when political campaigns come around
there is usually some bargain rates for
state taxes but this year it is the bar
gain supreme as the state administra-
tion has levied just enough tax for gem
eral purposes to meet the state charter
provision. The one dollar and seven
ty cents is the smallest state tax to
be assessed against Kenosha county.
It should not be taken that Keno
sha county will not have any pay
nents to make to the state. On the
other hand the total amount to be paid
will probably be considerably more
than it has been IT, other years. The
income tax is going to present big
piece of revenue for the state as it will
be entitled to some sixty thousand dol
lars from the amount collected in the
county. Then the county has the
usual large bill to pay for educational
institutions and for the support Of the
state institutions for the support of
the insane. Of course the last named
bill is based entirely on the number Of
patients that Kenosha has turned over
to the various institutions in the state
and it is a reasonable bill considering
the amount of service rendered.
The bill for educational purposes
this year totals $86,432.17 and it makes
up by far the largest proportion, Of the
call of the state for money from Ke-
nosha county. Much Of this amount
will be paid back to the county in
support Of the High Schools and com
mon schools. The county's biggest
item is $42,343.86 for the suppor of
the common schools and practically ev-
cry cent of this will be paid back next
year. The county must pay this year
1914 ,504.50 for the support of the state
university and $10,890.89 for the sup
port of the normal schools.
The total of the state IS bin to the
county is $104,151.55 and this is some
seven thousand dollars greater than
the total bill rendered to the county
year ago. Last year there were small
items of state tax assessed. The large
railway taxes, the large income taxes
and other special taxes paid to the
state has made it unnecessary to levy
the customary taxes for highways and
for general state purposes this year.
This tax will be paid by the county
with the January settlement with
the state treasurer and taxes to cover
the amounts must be levied by the
city and county later. The city's
share of the state tax will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The official
statement of the county bill divides
the state charges as follows:

Private WasyI Lewchuk
Buried in the National
Cemetery at Louisville
BY Kenosha Boys.
HAD NO RELATIVES. HERE
Soldier Who Had Been the Support Of
His Mother in Russia Left Ten
Thousand Dollar Policy to
Continue This Support.

Corporal r. Fl. Kramer, formerly of
the force Of the Citizen bank but
now at Camp Taylor in the military
service Of the United States has sent
letter to the officials of the Kenosha
Chapter of the Red Cross telling of
another gold star in the service flag
Of Kenosha.
The star is to represent the sacrifice
of Wasyl Lewchuk, young Kenosha
private who died from bronchial pneu-
monia at the base hospital at Camp
Taylor on the night of October 7fh.
Lewchuk had no relatives in Keno
sha but his remains were born to rest
by Kenosha boys in service at Camp
Taylor and he was buried with full
military honors in grave No. IL row
No. ! Of the National Cemetery at
Louisville.
Private Lewchuk left Kenosha as
member of the July 21st contingent
and he had spent all of his military
life at Camp Taylor. He was employ
ed at the plant of the Nash Motors
Company before he was called for
service in the army.
Lewchuk had been the partial sup
port of an old mother way back in
Russia and when he went into the
army he was not forgetful of the claims
of his mother. He carried govern
ment policy Of insurance for $4,000
and it was made payable to his mother
Mrs. Anna ,Lewchuk whose address is
Z, given in the policy as Rudensk Selo-
Drijin, Minskoi, Huberni, Newolcel-
kowski, Russia. The insurance certi-
ticate was ordered to be sent to a
friend,s Pid Skatula, No. 507 Elizabeth
street.
The Kenosha Chapter of the Red
Cross will look into the case and see
to it that in due time the insurance
csrried by the young man is paid to
his mother in Russia
Private Lewchuk is the first Keno
sha man dying in camp to be buried
at the cemetery at the camp as the re-
mains of all other men who have been
caught by the epidemic of influenza
have been returned to Kenosha. The
casualty list Of Kenosha $ army men
now contains thirty two names and of
this number twenty four died from
disease or accident. -Four have been
killed in action, two died Of wounds,
one was lost at sea and in the other
case the soldier was reported killed
in action" but there has been no con-
frmation of the report from the war
department. or from other government
sources Kenosha has had fourteen
men wounded in action but only two
are reported to have died of wounds,
Seventeen Of the gold stars which have
been added to the Kenosha service
flag came as a result of the epidemic
OF influenza which has been sweepins
over the country and which has been
especially serious at the army camps.
