MORE LIQUOR
SHIPPED HERE
Another Carload of Booze
Arrives on Tracks and
is Unloaded Sunday.
SCHOLEY is ON WATCH
Crusading Constable on Job but
Finds Shipment Comes in
under Permit.

Still the booze flows into Kenosha!
On Sunday afternoon another car
load of presumably "wet goods ar
rived in Kenosha and almost in shorter
time than it takes to tell it was I'M
loaded and carried away to the ware
house or cellars of the consignees.
The shipment was received by the
same crew of men which has been I'M
loading former shipments sent to this
city and it is presumed that the car
load was received under permit"
as had been all of those which reach
ed Kenosha in the past.
The car was box car of. Pennsyl-
vahia railroad, Number 2093. 1t came
into Kenosha on the milk train Sun
day afternoon and Immediately the
telephone wires got hot telling of the
arrival of the wet goods. 1t was said to
have been sent by express from Chicago.
Work Like Beavers Again.
1t was Sunday afternoon and it is
not the usual custom to unload cars
reaching Kenosha on that train until
Monday morning. In spite of this,
however, there was no delay in get
ting the contents of the car trans
ferred to its destination. Trucks were
summoned and about four o'clock the
crew started unloading the liquor
The car was tracked on a switch
in the main yards Of the Northwestern
railway and the unloading of the car

pedestrians. Word of its arrival was
also sent to many officials of the city
who investigated and found that the
car had come in by permit and that
the consignees could not be halted
from unloading it.
Scholey on the Job.
Constable John Scholey got word of
the arrival of the car but could not
reach the car until nearly seven
o'clock. When he got there he found
that he was just in time to see the
last part of the shipment being taken
from the car and placed on the trucks.
He took good look and declared that
it consisted of case goods which ac-
cording to the labels appeared to be
the real "old stuff"
The trucks were traiIed to the
corner of North Chicago and Middle
street, where they turned north and
were lost.
Constable Scholey was told that the
trucks had been unloading the cargo
since four o'clock and from this it is
judged that the shipment is one of the
largest that ever reached Kenosha since
the passing of the prohibition law.
The flagman at the Northwestern
crossing said that the unloading of the
booze attracted large number of per-
sons including two police officers who
investigated but upon finding that all
was being done under permit made no
attempt to stop the proceedings.
Officials Are Investigating.

One hundred and seventy-fve per-
sons, comprising the largest class in
the history of st. James Church, were

uniformly attired in blue suits. The
church was filled to capacity and the
throng extended to the vestibule and

the archbishop's speech.

Joe Custer was also informed of the
arrival of the carload of booze and
started an investigation Immediately.
He declared this morning that the
matter would be investigated thorough
ly but that since the consignees had
a permit it was impossible to prevent
them from unloading the car.
The agent of the express company
here declared that the Kenosha office
had no record Of the car. He said
that this would not indicate that the
car was not sent by express since
usually in the shipment of carload lots
OF liquor man was sent with the car
to make certain that it reached it's des-
tination. Such shipments, he said,
were handled out of the Chicago office.
Might be Homeless Hector"
1t was believed that the car received
in Kenosha on Sunday might be the
homeless Hector" which has been run
ming around the express yards of Chi
cago and Milwaukee for several weeks.
That car started it's travels several
weeks ago when it was sent to Keno
sha consignees to be unloaded at
Truesdell. When it reached the sid
ing there, the presence of two strang-
ers, believed to be detectives, inter
fered with its being unloaded and it
was sent on to Milwaukee. Later it
was returned to Truesdell, but not un-
loaded and sent to Chicago.
1t is said that prohibition officials
have been informed of the arrival of
the car and that large number of
them may be expected to swoop down
on Kenosha to look into the affair
more closely.

RACES WITH KENosHA LODGE.
Kenosha Odd Fellows and Milwaukee
Lodge Racing for High Place.

Lodge Racing for High Place.
A friendly contest is being waged
between the Kenosha Lodge of Odd
Fellows and the Iron Links Lodge of
Milwaukee for the position as the
largest lodge in the state of Wisconsin
The contest has been going on for
several months and thus far the Ke-
noshans have been able to keep ahead
in the race. Last summer the Keno
sha lodge passed the Iron Links lodge
and became the largest lodge in the
state, but the Milwaukee branch de-
clares that it will be ready to reverse
the order on January the first when
new "count of noses" in the two
lodges will be made.
Several Kenosha Odd Fellows are
expected to go to Milwaukee on the
night Of January the 14th when the
Iron Links lodge will have the first
wedding ever solemnized in its hall.
The wedding is the result of casual
remark made by the Rev. G. Stanley
Joslin, of Planted, the grand master
of Wisconsin Odd Fellows, to the eff
feet that he saw no reason why lodge
halls could not be rented for weddings
The grand master is to be at Iron
Links hall on January the 18th and
the lodge has sent word that. it will
supply the bride and groom for the
festive occasion.
The evening will also be memorable
because it will be the occasion of the
burning of the mortgage on the Iron
Links Odd Fellows hall. A banquet
will wind up the evening.

MAY DISCARD TAX
ON SMALL INCOME
If General Protest is Heard
Congress Will Drop In
crease Proposal.
HAS A YEAR TO GO

Washington, D. C.-Congress has re-
ceived with an open mind" the sug-
gestion of Secretary of the Treasury
Houston that revision of tax laws in
clude a fifty per cent increase of in
come tax rates on incomes of five
thousand dollars and less.
If Houston can convince members of
the Senate finance committee and the
House ways and means committee that
such an increase will yield desir-
able sum to the treasury with mini
mum of evasion and difficulty in col
lections, they are ready to shove up
the rates.
But if the public, generally, through
protest against the further adding of
taxation upon the wage Garner and
small salaried man, convinces the COM
mittees that the loss in public support
and confidence, at this time, would not
be justified by the amount of revenue
produced, these proposed increases
will be side-tracked.
Public Not Asked.
Secretary Houston has been invited
to appear before the committees to tell
why such increases are necessary.
The general public, to date, has not
been invited to show how the higher
tax on small incomes is not only I'M
necessary but impossible without the
maximum of hardship. 1t will have to
speak up of it's own accord, and speak
quickly
1t is interesting and perhaps signi-
ficant that out of six members of the
Senate finance committee interviewed
not one was prepared to object to
Houston's proposal.
The estimated revenue that would be
derived from the proposed increase on
incomes is $150,940,000, or less than
four per cent of the revenue Uncle
Sam would raise next year. But no
other four per cent would be imposed
over so great percentage Of the pop
ulation as a direct levy in which the
person taxed would have no choice
in the matter.
Total Small.
By increasing the rate on taxable
incomes up to $4,000, from to 6 per
cent, only $46,O6O,OOO would be secur-
ed. The increase on incomes over
$4,000 from s to IL per cent would
yield an additional sos, 100000.
In comparison, an additional 5 per
cent tax on automobiles and Access
series, it is estimated, would bring
in 100000 900 and a federal license
tax on automobiles of 80 cents per
horse power would bring III another
500, 0000 900.
In the latter cases, it would be OPP
tional with the individual whether he
subject himself to the tax. If he
could afford the auto he could afford
the tax. In the former case every
wage Garner and salaried man would
be subject to the so per cent increase
whether he could afford it or not.
A Year to Go.
Whatever the outcome may be Mr..
Taxpayer has whole year yet before
he can begin to figure his payments
under any new tax law. 1t is on 1920
incomes that 1921 payments are made.
