COUNTIES ARE IN
PROTEST OVER TAX
Demand the State Levy a
Road Tax and Bear its
Share of the Burden
in all Road Work.

The following resolution was
passed unanim ously at the annual
convention of the Chairmen of the
County Boards of Wisconsin, held in
Milwaukee on Friday, February 81.
The gathering was made up of so of
the Chairmen of the II County
Boards in the state. AS expressive of
an attitude on the road movement,
they are highly significant, as no
gathering of more representative
and official character, as rejecting
the sentiment of the people on the
highway question, could be brought
together in Wisconsin:
Whereas, the highway NOV ement
has reached the stage where it de-
mands the adoption of broad, con-
structive and equitable program to fl
nance highway maintenance and con-
sLruction in the state and
Whereas, the recent tendency has
been TO adopt policy of temporary
expedients, which resulted in the
burden being shouldered on the local
units, so that the state bears but a
meager share of the burden, therefore
be it
Resolved, That the Chairmen of the
County Boards in Wisconsin in con-
vention assembled protest against
any further legislation increasing the
burden of taxation on the local units,
either directly or by diyerting the
funds now allotted to the counties,
and place ourselves on record as in
favor of meeting all state highway
appropriations by levying a direct
state tax. Be it further
Resolved That a copy of these res
olutions be sent to each member of
the legislature, now in session, and
that copy be sent to each member
of the County State Road and Bridge
Committees of the several counties of
the state.
For some time a sentiment has
been growing throughout Wisconsin
that the state was Sinking its duty
in the matter of road building and
unloading the burden on the shout
ders Of the counties and towns. The
figures show that the state today is
paying less than 2O% toward State
Aid road building. In the year 1916
the total amount spent on State Aid
road and bridge construction was
S3,95I, 725, the state aid amounting to
S785, 900, which means 1850. In the
year 1917, slightly more was spent on
construction. The State Aid re-

81 believe the tractor will make farming what 10
ought to be-the most pleasant, the most healthful
the most profitable business on earth. HENRY FORD.
The tractor has come to stay and there IS no use
denying it. The iron horse has come to bring good
cheer not evil omens and it has come at very oppor
tune time The time is fast approaching when horse
power on the farm will take on mechanical aspect.
The horse of flesh and bone will become as scarce IN
the field as he is at present on the highway
And why shouldn't the horse abdicate in favor OF
more efficient mechanical apparatus just as he was
snnerseded on the road by more efficient method IF

manned the same, and amounted to
1879. Eliminating Milwaukee
County, which can finance itself gen.
erously, the State Aid amounted to
1852 per cent in 1916 and 1916 per
cent in 1917.
On the State Trunk Highway Sys-
tenn, although one would naturally
suppose the percentage was greater,
when the situation is analysed, it
will be found that the state is appro-
priating nothing. When the State
Trunk Highway Act was passed it
was devised to meet the provisions
of the Federal Aid Road Act, which
allotted the sum of So, 900, 600 TO Wis
consin in the period ending June 30,
1921. The state was required to meet
the federal appropriation. It did so
by taking from the counties three
quarters of the automobile license
fees they were receiving, allotting
them one quarter, and raising the
license fee. In other words, it took
the money from the counties to meet
the states share 1t further provid-
ed that the counties should bear one
third of the cost of construction for
which the counties are required to
levy tax In brief, the fund is Gre
ated from three sources federal
government appropriation, taxes lev
led by the county, and the states
share comes from automobile license
fees taken from the counties.
Indications are that the issue will
rise sharply in the present legislature,
growing out of the fact that the fed.
eral government has increased the
share of federal aid Wisconsin will re-
ceiye, by appropriating $5,00O,0O0 adj
ditional. The state must provide an
equal amount One plan being dis
cussed to get the money was to wipe
out the personal property tax on
motor vehicles, which goes to the
county treasures, and increase the
motor license, which would go to the
state. Another plan is to take away

CALOMEL BEST
MEDICINE FOR
A LAZY LIVER
Calotabs, the New Kind of
Calomel, Does the Work
Without the Slightest Unpleas-
antness or Danger

You have always thought of
calomel as the best and surest
medicine in the world, but too
nauseating for you to take. That
was the old style calomel. Now
science has taken the sting out
of calomel by removing its un-
pleasant and dangerous qualities,
and has kept all its good liver
cleansing and system purifying
effects.
The next time you are bilious
or constipated ask for Calotabs
the new nausealess calomel.
Sold only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-fve cents. One
tablet at bedtime, with a swallow
of wather, that's all. No tast,
no gripping, no nausea, no salts.
you wake up in the morning
feeling fine, your liver active,
your system purified, and with a
hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please no danger
of salvation. Your money back
at any drug store if you are not
perfectly delighted with Calotabs
