Grace LuSk Convicted

On Wednesday night the jury in the
Grace Lusk murder trial at Waukesha,
rendered its verdict which was man
slaughter in the second degree. Miss
Lusk, after a moment of collapse in
her fathers arms, went to pieces, and
seems today to be complete mental
wreck. The conviction carries with
it from fourteen to twenty-five years
in states prison. Miss Lusk is now
in the hands of two nurses and a
physician and it is said she may never
again regain her reason. Judge Lueck
has intimated that he will not pro-
nounce sentence until she is more
composed. Now let's watch and see
what is to be done with this sanctifed
DR.. David Roberts. Is it possible that
man in this day of our Lord, 1918,
can commit the most serious of crimes
and go unpublished? All such serpent.

Who Is Paying for the War?
By JOHN R. COMMONS. Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin

Everybody must expect hardships
from war. The greatest hardship is
on the boys who go to the front. No
body can ever pay them what they
are worth to the nation.
But our nation is doing the next
best thing. We have more than dou-
bled the pay that soldiers got before
the war. The dollar a day, besides
food, clothing, and expenses, which
they now get while training and fight
ing is four times as much as the
British soldier gets, eighteen times as
much as the French, and nine times
as much as the German.
Besides, if they are disabled, the
government compensates them for the
rest of their lives, by giving them as
high as 500 a month if totally dis
abled, in addition to teaching them
new trades, if necessary, so that they
can make living.
Next to the boys at the front, the
greatest hardship is on their families
These families can never be paid what
the boys are worth to them But the
nation does the next best thing. While
they are serving their country 1t pays
their families according to the num-
Der OF children. In case of death it
pays the family the compensation the
boy would get after the war if he were
disabled; and 1t furnishes as high as
$4,000 life insurance at less than half
what an insurance company charges
in time of peace and permits him to
continue II after the war at substan-
TALLY the same rate.
The next great hardship is taxes.
In former wars our government taxed
food and almost everything the peo-
pie used In this war it Is taxing only
liquor, tobacco. patent medicines, lux
uries, amusements, new insurance
premiums, business documents, trans
portations and postage.
Taxation of Big incomes.
Two-thirds of the people pay but
very little extra taxes directly to SUD-
port the war. The other one-third of
the people are taxed on incomes and
excess war profits.
In the Civil War the income tax was
8 per cent to Is per cent, and every
income as low as 5000 was taxed. In
this war, three different income taxes
are piled on top of each other, so that
an income of $4,000 pays $40, and in
come of S1,000,000 pays $475,000 and |
larger incomes pay nearly go per cent |
But no income Of a married man |
less than $4,000 is taxed at all, and |
none less than $1,000 for an unmarried |
man. No workingman with a family |
pays an income tax.
The largest incomes, on the other |
hand, are not yet taxed as much as
. to-.
two taxes-an excess profit tax that |
is said to average about one-fourth the
profits above per cent on its capital, |
and an income tax of 6 per cent on
what is left. Our government has call
ed in the leading tax experts of the
country to work on this problem.

NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD.

It must have occurred to a great
many people, In reading the newspaper
accounts of the lenient methods adopt
ed by the government authorities in
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service In the army Of the Kaiser.
The most serious penalty imposed
80 far has been against an officer Of
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he could not do
justice to himself or his men In lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
4 man who is convicted of being a
leader In the spy plots against Ameri-
can lives and property is given
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an embezzling clerk.
Other men, engaged In subterranean
efforts which might result In the kill
ing Of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly interned In
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are unfolding the
Stars and Stripes In No Mans Land.
The reason for this state or affairs
Is hard to appreciate. The country La
at war and war is not "cfvil matter.
A man who conspires to place bomb
In an American troop-ship or vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer In the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the

RED CROSS NOTES

Our people have responded in a
most noble manner in the matter of
donating to the Red Cross drive just
held in the way of cash, and now it
is hoped that the number of workers
throughout the county can be increased
largely. AS our boys keep going
overseas in large numbers, more work
ers should enlist in the Red Cross,
as the work will be increased every
day. These brave young lads de-
pend on~the Red Cross to help them,
and we surely must not disappoint
the boys in any way, as they are CIV
ing their all for us.
Several donations have been made
the past week. Mrs. Ida Provinski,
treasurer of the Riverside Ladies' Aid
society of Abbotsford, has sent in a
donation from that organization. An
nual memberships have been received
from the Marathon and Bevent branch
es. The Schofield schools sent in
$45.09 for the Junior Red Cross. The
Elderon branch sent in a box of gar
ments to the headquarters. Recently
chocolate was served at the new meat
market, at which time Business COL
from this amounting to ten dollars
was turned in by the Methodist Aid
society.
Mrs. G. G. Knoller of the town of
Bergen, and Mrs. Adam Felt of the
town of Knowlton, were in Wausau
yesterday to turn in the Red Cross
subscriptions of their towns, which
they succeeded in getting in the re-
cent drive. Mrs. Knoller had $18019,
and Mrs. Felt, $215.59, both going well
cover the top"
A. H. Zimmerman received a check
for $1,000 yesterday from the Brokaw
public schools, which amount was re-
allied from Red Cross benefit en-
tertainment.
The Modern Woodmen of Schofield,
have forwarded a check for $4,000 to
the Red Cross, to assist in swelling
the fund.

The government is trying to cut
down excess profits. AS fast as pos
| sible it is reducing the prices that pro-
| ducers are permitted to charge.
This has been done for iron, steel
and almost everything else that the
| government buys.
1t is hard to do this and yet not
discourage production. We must have
an enormous increase of food. cloth
| ing, munitions and other necessities
| during the war.
But the government is doing this
| in the only way possible. 1t calls in
the representatives of labor named by
| the American Federation of Labor,
| and the representatives of the manu-
| facturers and farmers. The American
Federation of Labor wanted the price
of wheat fixed at S184 a bushel The
| farmers wanted $3.50. They COM
promised on 1920 a bushel.
This is the way II is done for coal
and other essentials which the peo-
pie must buy. If the price is cut too
low then wages cannot be paid; and
IL there are no profits, the thing will
not be produced in sufficient quanti-
ties.
me MISE IN wages
Increased cost of living always goes
along with wars. But here Is some
thing to remember:-the outbreak of
war in 1914 brought an increased de-
mand for labor, at time of great in
dustrial depression in this country
The demand Of the Allies for NUM-
tions. equipment, and food, set every
body to work in the United States.
Immediately also wages began to rise.
They went up fastest and highest in
the industries that furnished NUM-
tons to the Allies. The employees of
the United States Steel Corporation
have had an increase of 60 per cent
in their rates Of wages, and when to
this Is added steady employment, their
earnings by the week or year have
gone up far beyond 60 per cent.
In the state of New York-the only
state where statistics have been col
lected on a large scale-the earnings
or all factory wage-earners throughout
the entire state have risen, on an
average, over SO per cent since June,
1914. In some OF the metal and ma
chinery industries. they have more
than doubled.
Nobody can give exact figures, but
the cost Of living-taking everything
into account-has gone up about 80
to 40 per cent. Food has gone up more
than that-47 per cent, according to
figures Of retail prices collected by
the Federal Department of Labor.
But food is something less than half
OF the workingman's expenses. Other
expenses, such as rent, have not gone
I'm G0 much Taking into ocoo,,p4 A.
increased amount Of work and the in
crease in wages, the total earnings OF
wage-earners have about kept up with
the cost Of living. Some have gone
far ahead, others have not kept up.
Those who have gained most are COM
mon laborers and organized labor.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Aug. 22.- June Red, driven by E. F. Geers, added another stake event to her list of vic- tories this year by winning The Poughkeepsie" 2:12 trot for purse of $5,0o0 here today, after four heats.
 Alma Forbes led all the way in the first heat beating Chilcoot by a neck in 2:06&. Geers took June Red out ahead in the second heat and won by half a length from Lotto Watts in 2:05% with Chilcoot third. June Red led to the home stretch in the third heat when he wavered and finally went to break, Murphy taking the heat with Chilcoot.
 The three heat winners went away at a 2:40 clip in the fourth heat, loaf ing to the half. June Red outbrushed Chilcoot coming home, stepping the last quarter in 29E seconds and win ming the race.

Woman Suffraae by States

Why the advocate, of woman suffrage want tional rather than legislation giving to women is very evident when we consider the difficult ties presented in many of the states the amendment of constitutions That true of much than half the states Constitutions, until comparatively gently were regarded more or less fixed and pre- cautions taken against the changing of them by sudden and passing gusts of sentiment
 In two states the constitutions can be amended only at certain intervals; in New Hampshire. every years, and in Vermont, every ten years.
 In twenty of the states a two-thirds three fifths vote of the legislature is required to submit constitutional amendment and in of the states this submission cannot be accomplished, except by the votes of two successlve legislatures.
 After the submission some of the states require wo-thrds and three-ffths majority of the popular vote for the adoption of the amendment and in of them the matter is made still more difficult by requiring that the majority must be not of the votes cast the amendment, but of the greatest number of votes cast at the election which the amendment is submitted. Thus all the ballots not marked to the amendment counted against it.
 In state Indiana, there is peculiar obstruction to the adoption of constitutional amendments. There must be majority of not the votes, but of the cleo tors in the state something that election never dis closes but which be ascertained only by of the males qualified to vote.
 These precautions against the changing of state constitutions not taken especially against equal suffrage. In of the states that legislation probably considered all when the bars erected But in state New Mexico, special pro vision directed against suffrage making practically impossible the admission of to the ballot in the first twenty years after admission. An equal suffrage amendment there requires three fourths majority of all who vote it and in addi- ton, it must carry in each county by two- thirds majority.
 We recognize the wisdom of making changes in constitutions difficult than the enactment of statutes. constitution should not be subject to the momentary popular whim. while the statutes be subject in democratic form of government But constitution should be buttressed leave it unyeldng against slowly steadily growing move ment such the equal suffrage movement has be- come.
