kEN0sHA GAVE $3.50.
knights Of Columbus Spend s16794-
55241 In One Year, of Which Wis.
Furnished 1894, 800 and Kenosha Her
Quota g Secure Speaker

The enormous work which the Knights
of Columbus did in spreading cheer
and comfort to the soldiers at home
and overseas was reflected in Kenosha
this morning when Walter NE. Burke,
chairman of the reconstruction commit
tee for Wisconsin, forwarded to nation
al headquarters the report for the
state of Wisconsin showing that the
Badger state had poured $324,S00 into
the great war chest Of the organiza-
ton and that Kenosha and Kenosha
county had furnished $3.50 of this
amount. Chairman Burke has just re-
turned from Milwaukee where he at
tended the meeting Of the state com
mittee and secured reports from all the
districts of the state.
At the Milwaukee meeting there was
also made public statement showing
that the Knights Of Columbus had spent
in the year ending June 3Oth, 1919, the
enormous sum Of 1874, 552.41 for work
among the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines in America and Europe. The ma
tional report which was made public
at the Milwaukee meeting, showed
that the knights had spent $5,468, 060.79
for work in the United States and
SIS, $50, 082.62 for work overseas. In
addition it was shown that the Knights
had spent nearly 100000 on free
creature comforts, more than that spent
by all Of the other organizations par
ticipating in the United War Work
Fund combined. The amount spent for
administrative purposes was only
$l66,616.76, which sum was more than
derived from cash discounts for prompt
payment of merchandise bills.
Chairman Burke announced this
morning that Or. James j. Walsh Of
Boston, had been secured by the.eoin-
mittee to head the speakers who will
carry on the reconstruction campaign
of the Knights of Columbus in Wis
consin. The intinerary for the speaker

declared that it will include Kenosha,
where an address will be delivered
some time this winter.

Attorney General of Illinois
Approves Plan To Make
Roads Safe Against
Beer Runners.
LAKE COUNTY TO ACT TODAY
Two Men Will Be Stationed At Every
Highway Crossing From Illinois To
Wisconsin and All Automobiles and
Vehicles VIII Be Inspected.

Armed guards are going to patrol the
entire Illinois Wisconsin state line from
the Mississippi river to Lake Michigan
to catch beer runners. This announce
ment was made Saturday evening by
Attorney General Edward J. Brundage
of Illinois. The guards will be station
ed wherever highway furnishes access
to this state from the state that Mil
waukee's advertised brews have made
made.
Lake county is the first to guard its
border. McHenry, Boone and Winnie
bago counties will be the next to estab-
lish the watch on the line.
Attorney General Brundage Saturday
approved the preparations of which
States Attorney James G. Welch of
Lake county has informed him. States
Attorney WEIGH wrote the attorney gem
eral.
ct consider the most effective way is
to place two officers at the roads Just
south of the state line. I propose to
place signs on the south side of each
road, worded as follows: State line of
Illinois South bound motor ears will
please stop for inspection by officers in
charge, by order of the county board of
supervisors. I propose that these signs
shall be lighted at night by red lanterns
and that every car shall be searched. 1t
will be few days before this organiza-
tion can be completed. In the mean
time I will have the local authorities in
each township patrol the roads.
In his reply the attorney general
said:
81 am glad to know that the board
of supervisors has complied with your
request for officers to guard against the
bringing of Intoxicating liquor into
the state of Illinois through Lake coun-
ty in violation of our state laws.
"9The plan you have outlined in your
letter is very thorough and there is
nothing that / can suggest to make it
more complete. Thank you very much
for the energetic way in which you are
taking hold of this troublesome ques-
ton "

Governor Philip Notifies
Clerk Holderness County
Must Take Early
A c tiOn.
DECIDE ON TAX OR BONDS
County May Take It's Choice AS To
Methods To Raise the Money But
Secretary of State Must Be Advised
AS To What County viii Do.

That the county Of Kenosha may is
sue bonds for the Soldier s Bonus in
stead of levying the total amount of the
bonus as tax, is explained to the
County Board in letter from Gov
ernor Philip received by the county
clerk this morning. In his letter
the Governor says:
Sept. IL, 1919.
Dear SIR
| desire to call your attention to
Chapter 667, Laws of 1919, known as
the Soldiers Bonus Act This act
was ratified by the voters of this state
at the special election held on the End
day of September, 1919, and is, there
fore, now a part of the law of this state.
For the purpose of raising part of
the funds with which to pay the bonus,
the act provides that tax of not ex-
ceeding three mills on each dollar of
the assessed valuation of the property
Of the state shall be levied and in
Guided in the tax for 1919. The
balance Of the fund is to be raised
by an income tax.
The act also contains this provision:
. In case any county shall elect by
resolution of the County Board of such
county, adopted prior to the levy of
such tax, to raise said amount Chat is,
not to exceed three mills on each dol
lar Of the assessed valuation in said
county, by bond issue, authority is
hereby conferred upon said county to
issue such bonds and, thereupon, the
proper (state) authorities shall remit
said levy in such county"
If your county desires to provide for
the mill tax to be raised in your county
under this act by bond issue, rather
than by a tax levy, action must be
taken by your county board and notice
thereof given TO the Secretary of State
prior to October 20, 1919, in order that
the state authorities may remit the
tax levy in your county.
Will you, therefore, please bring this
matter to the attention of your county
board at the earliest possible oppor-
tunityg
It is possible that tax levy of less
than three mills, plus the income tax,
will raise sufficient funds to pay the
bonuses provided for in the act. This,
however, can not be definitely determin-
ed until the Tax Commission has COM
pleted an estimate of the amount
which will be raised under the income
provisions of the act.
AS soon as the Tax Commission has
completed its estimate, you will be mo-
titled of the act rate which must be
levied upon the assessed valuation Of
the property in your county; also the
assessed valuation Of your county.
From this, can be computed the ex-
act amount of the bond issue in your
county. AS this bond issue does not
have to be submitted to a vote of the
people, you will receive this informa-
ton in ample time SO that your county
can take advantage of the bond issue,
if it so desires.
Very sincerely yours,
E. L. Philip.
