TO PAY TAXES
RIGHT AT HOME
Mail Order Payment of
Taxes Comes to an End as
Federal Office Is Opened.

"Trade at HOME" is the new slogan
Of the United States government for
Kenosha and the mail order payment
of income taxes and other claims of
the internal revenue department of the
government which has been in vogue
in Kenosha since Towser was pup,
has become obsolete and hereafter
Kenosha people will not be forced to
send their checks for income tax and
other internal revenue to Milwaukee.
Formal notice was made this morn
ing that hereafter all taxes to be col
lected in Kenosha by the United
States government would be payable
at the office of the federal officials in
the Isermann building. The taxes may
be paid either in cash or by check and
Joseph Custer, who is to be in full
charge Of the Office has full power to
issue receipts for the collections.
Save Lot in Postage.
It is expected that Kenosha people
will be able to save lot of money
in postage as result of the new ar
rangement for collections. Hereto
fore all collections have been made
through the Milwaukee Office Of the
department of internal revenue. The
blanks for the income tax will continue
to be sent out from the government of
fee in Milwaukee, but the payments
will be made here. 1t is expected that
the new arrangement will prove a
great accommodation to the thousands
of Kenosha people who have dealings
with the government.

HOLD FARMLAND
ON MURDER CHARGE
tBv Associated Press

LaCrosse-John G. Beier, farm
hand, was arrested here last night on
a charge of murder in connection with
the death of Nicholas Biessen, a
Binkman Ridge farmer, whose body
was found with the top of the head
blown off. Suicide was the verdict
of the coroner's jury. Mrs. Helen
Biessen, wife of the dead man, is held
on statutory charge. 1t is said that
she confessed after third degree ex-
animation held by fire marshal, that
Beier had killed her husband. Three
weeks ago Beier was brought int, the
court and the woman's fourteen year
old daughter dramatically accused the
mother on the stand of intimate rela-
tions with the farm hand and told of
frequent quarrels between her parents
over Beier. Conflicting facts gath
cred by the fire marshal in connection
with the burning of the home later, lead
to the inquisition of the woman and
man. When confronted by the flaws
in her story, the woman broke down
and confessed that Beier had told her
that he killed her husband. Beier
later admitted that his alibi was false
and that he had been at the Biessen
home on the day that the body was
found in the barn. The woman declar-
ed that her husband had ordered
Beier away from The home and that for
four months she had kept her lover
concealed in a closet in the house.
Then on August the 26th, while she
was absent Biessen entered the home
and found the farmland. Beier de-
clared, so she said, that Biessen had
shotgun and that he had shot him
sn self efense.

SMART ALECKS

A, person who went up to the High School
on Tuesday and looked at the wreckage Of
"boyish prank" could not but wish that for a
couple of hours we could return to the days OF
wore when the late beloved John G. McMynn
or the vigorous Professor Cleary reigned over
the school in Kenosha. 1t would be the SUI
preme Joy to have one Of those old time school
masters and they were indeed masters" stand
up and shout to this band Of young hoodims
DRAW that coat" and then see how one OF those
old timers could lay on the lash until the smart
Of pain brought to the minds of these young
smart alexis some appreciation of what the
city and the school expected of them.
The switch of the old days applied to these
young fellows in public is about the only thing
which might be considered as adequate punish
ment Of course they could be sent to Jail but
in jail they would consider themselves heroes
and martyrs. The only way to reach them is
through the avenue Of physical pain.
It was the second time that these young ter
rors had broken in the school. The first time
it had been passed as Halloween joke-poor
a Joke as it was-and the boys had been dis
ciplined. 1t is understood that this second visit
of destruction was for retaliation.
While these boys have caused a lot of loss
to their fellow students which they or their
parents will be expected to pay and pay fully
and with interest the most serious side of the
question is the fact that boys are growing up in
the schools of Kenosha without any regard for
the rights of others.
This is not boyish prank. It is direct
anraignment of the school and of the homes of
the thirty young men who were connected.
The school can not but be considered as raising
up vandals and the homes can not be held but
as sanctioning such vandalism. We do not know
that the parents of any of the boys have sought
in any way to Justify their action. We can see
no idea Of justification in any way and the
only thing that the parents can do is to have
their eyes opened to the need of better super
vision of these boys.
They are just at the "smart" age when firm
management is demanded for them. The gang"
should be broken up. The pool room where
they gather and frame up this kind of stuff
should be closed so far as they are concerned
and If the keepers of such places are not able
to keep these boys out then the pool rooms
should be closed to all of the people.
These boys are not coming UP under the right
system Their total disregard for the rights
Of others and the property Of others threatens
to make of them direct menace to the future
of the city.
The whole affair hasn't the least appearance
of joke It's mighty serious matter.
