MAXIMUM TAX RATE
OF $3.50 ON S1OO
IMPOSED THIS YEAR

The extreme need of money with
which to run the city finds healthy ex
prtssion in the new tax rate just de-
termined for Wausau. 1t is $3.50 on
every 500 of assessed valuation. This
will make very splendid amount for
owners Of property in the city to pay,
those whose land is down.
town. This exceeds the constitu-
tional rate city is PERMITTED to estab-
lish,' Mayor Platter told a Pilot re-
porter, "but we are able to set it only
because at the last session of the state
legislature a bill was passed permit
ting municipalities to add eight mills
to the city taxes solely for the support
OF schools. These taxes will be due
the first Monday in February"
The new tax does not make it any
too desirable to hold city property but
it is essential because of the deficit in
the city treasury during the past year.
Suggestions for new things in the city
to be built by the city usually meet
with the humorous response: "Why
the city hasn't got money enough to
keep the streets swept"

MISS BRADY OUT
ORGANIZING NEW
SEWING CLUBS

"The Sewing club year opened last
week with the organization of sew
ing club at Mosinee," Miss Mary A.
Brady, home demonstration agent,
says. Several other communities are
taking steps to establish such clubs.
"They are a good thing for any
community as they not only teach the
girls the making of their own cloth
ing under competent direction but
they furnish means for the girls to
get together and enjoy sociable hour.
AS the women usually stand back of
these clubs and support them, in al
most every instance whert they are
organized, they are successful" Miss
Brady has been out in the county most
of this week carrying on organization
work.

and Lieut.. Commdr. Hill to
Inspect Air Station.

Rear Admiral Robert E. CoOntZ. for
merly commanding the seventh di-
vision of the Atlantic fleet, accompanied
by Capt. T. c.. Craven, chief of the
bureau of operations (aviation), and
Lieut.. Commander Hill. an aide. will

train today. Admiral Coontz will head
an inspection party at the Naval Air
Station at 8 o'clock this morning and
will spend the entire day in going
over the yard. He will leave tomorrow
morning for Key West.
Admiral Coontz is known throughout
the service as an able and efficient
officer and his report on the inspec-
tion of the local yard is expected to
have great weight at the navy depart
ment. Under Capt II. HI. Christy and
Commander Cabaniss the first three
and half months of 1920 have been
exceedingly busy at the Air Station.
The postwar program is now in full
swing and men for service with the
fleets and at other stations are being
instructed.
Plans for the establishment OF an
N-C-type training squadron here are
being formulated. The CT, a dirigible
of large type. is nearly ready TO be put
into commission and will make flights
to New Orleans and other more distant
cities.

ELECTRIC FARE
RAISE HALTED
City Attorney Jones Appeals to
Supreme Court for Immedi-
ate Writ of Prohibition

Tallahassee, April 16. - Following
the action of the railroad commits
sioners in denying the protest of the
city of Pensacola against the railroad
commission taking Jurisdiction of the
of the Pensacola Electric
Company for an increase of passenger
fares on it's street railway, Senator
John B. Jones, city attorney of Pen
sacola, late this afternoon filed in the
supreme court an application for a
writ of prohibition to forbid the rail-
road commissioners taking jurisdic-
ton and acting upon the petition of
the Pensacola Electric Company for
an increase of fares.
The court took the petition under
Amusement and will probably decide
tomorrow morning whether a proper
case has been presented to call upon
the railroad commissioners by the is
suance of a rule to show cause why
they should not be prohibited from
taking Jurisdiction and acting upon
the street car company's applications.

Detroit, April 16.-,As soon as De-
troit mobilizes her forces to begin the
building of her own street car lines,
as authorized by the voters at the
election held this month, it is probable
a conference of American mayors will
system may be extended to their
cities
Detroit has taken a step of national
Importance. The fact that 63 per cent
of her citizens, after 25 years of bitter
fighting with a street railway corpora
tfon, decided upon municipal lines
demonstrates the futility of comprom-
ise, here or elsewhere.
Students have long recognized the
hopelessness of trying to harmonize
the divergent ideas of service and
profit. The city granted a monopoly
of streets for service and the COM
pany took the profit 1t was inevitable
there would be a clash
Detroit finally learned public trans
portation must be founded on service
alone.
The sooner American cities take
over transportation the sooner their
transportation and housing problems
viii be solved.
The public will no longer grant
franchise to private monopolies and
without them companies cannot fl
nance themselves.
Tayler grant plans, and service at
cost agreements, are only temporary
compromises, postponing the day OF
judgment. Every compromise leaves
the city in greater distress.
Detroit was unwilling to buy the
company lines at inflated prices. Now
she will have her own lines and soon
the company will be glad to reduce it's
price and sell out.
Why should small group of bond
holders, most of them living out of the
city and with no local interest, say
how we shall build them?
Detroit voted to own it's lines in
the face of the old wolfcry-"city lines
will be a political machine"
Detroit saw that as long as her city
administration had to stand between
the people and company lobbyists the
railway system would be a political is
sue. 1t saw it couldn 'tehold a railway
board of directors responsible for
officers responsible. 1t can fire a
mayor; not a railway company presi-
dent
Detroit is leading the way for the
next big step in American municipal
development-munic ownership of
street railways.

Market gardeners will be pinched

wheat somewhat less and oats least of

Potatoes require almost as much
man power as cotton. The outlook for

cause Demand Is for Them
and Not for Lower Grades
BY LUCKY BALDWIN.

Overall Clubs, being formed in many
cities of the south, and proposed in
Pensacola, really defeat the purpose
for which they are formed. The idea
is to bring down the cost of clothing.
AS matter of fact whenever there is
an unprecedented demand for any par
ticular article, overallsI in this in
stance, the cost advances. 1t is a
simple working out of the law of sup
ply and demand. The demand be-
comes great. In order to meet it the
merchant makes a rush order 1t is
shipped by express and costs him ex-
ira for the hurried service. Result
he must charge more.
The next thing that happens when
people cease to buy, in this instance
clothing, is that the merchant can
GELS his orders to the factory. The
factory has no orders and lays off it's
people. Result, folks out of work. The
workmen must seek other jobs and,
perhaps, take less pay If buying is
recommended the manufacturer must
assemble new crews, all of which
tackled to the completed article.
Let's get this business straight.
Merchants sell goods at high prices
party because the prices to them are
high and partly because there is a de-
mand only for high priced goods.
Doubtless there is some profiteering.
but en- masse anti-buying campaigns
will help little, except to throw honest

tai principal of the deal is wrong.
Go back to your account books and
see if you have been buying wisely.
Have you kept a budget? Do you
know how much you should spend for
clothes. for food, for rent, for pleas
ure?
Check your accounts of 1913. What
We're your wages then? What per-
centage did you spend for clothes?
What percentage do you pay for
clothes? If your 1920 percentage is
higher is it because the price has out
run your pay or is 1t because you buy
more and finer garments?
Unless you check these things you
are not playing fair with yourselves.
I believe in economy. L believe in
buying what need 1 believe in being
dressed as we'll as I can afford to be.
But, and here, 1 believe, is the cause
of the so-called high cost of living.
too many people have been unable to
stand prosperity and have worn fine
clothes for rough work, creating
false demand for fine grade goods and
leaving the coarser grades to a dull
market.
There is a time and place for every
