Chicago.-The horse is coming back
IN last struggle to hold his place
against the progress of the automobile,
tractor, truck and airplane. The de-
partment Of agriculture estimates
that horses on United States farms
increased from 1885, 900 in 1910 to
2l,109,000 on January 1, 1920. Mules
increased, too, according to the esti-
mates.
The Horse Association Of America
with headquarters here, propose to
encourage the breeding, rearing and
use of horses, The association, which
is non-proft organization, incor-
porated under the laws of Illinois, is
backed by horse breeders representing
all breeds of horses, by the saddlery
and harness interests, by the horse
shoe manufacturers, and master horse
shoers, by the hay, grain and feed in
terests, and by the carriage and wagon
builders of America.
"The horse is, next to man himself,
the most efficient power unit in ex-
istence, delivering more effective mo-
tive energy in proportion to energy
consumed than any other type of mo-
tive power unit when the work done is
a self-producing, self-repairing organ
ism, is taken into account" declared
association.
Millions of horses have worked
from the time they were three years
old until they were twelve years of
age without expenditure of dollar for
repairs" Mr., Dinsmore said. ''The
horse carries n reserve power which
the truck does not have, and there
fore does not often get stuck in a
tight place like the motor vehicle. /"
Mr.. Dinsmore said the horse can do
short haul work just as rapidly as a
truck and from % to 40 per cent
cheaper.
During the recent snowstorm in New
York, when every means of moving
traffic was said to have failed but the
horse, the horsemen declare some
merchants paid as high as fifty dollars
a day for the use of the horse.
The government realizes the import
snce Of the horse, Mr.. Dinsmore said.
and has sent ont bulletins encouraging
horse breeding
Transfers and teaming contractors
nowadays want larger and heavier
horses and are willing to pay for them,
members of the association declared.
They are paying as high as $500 for
team Of heavy drafters. Many of
the large concerns have written the
association that they must have horses
for their short haul work.
Wayne Dinsmore of Chicago is sec
rotary Of the association.

BIG INVESTMENT
MUST BE MADE
On Present Value Roads
viii Demand S7,OOO,OOO,-
900 Says Editor.

The imperative need Of railroad re-
vival is discussed by Samuel o. Dunn,
editor Of Railway Age, in an article
in which he says the real test of the
value of new legislation is whether it
will cause railroad expansion.
Mr.. Dunn says in part:
AT the present time the most i'm
perative need of the country from a
transportation point is an immediate
revival of the expansion of railroad
facilities on very large scale. This
need does not exist because the rail-
ways have been returned to private
management. 1t would exist just the
same as if the government ownership
and management or the Plumb plan
were to be adopted.
Must Increase Facilities.
"There are several different ways
in which you can estimate the amount
of new investment which must be made
to increase the facilities Of the rail
ways enough to bring them abreast
of the demands of the country's com
merce. Probably the best way to esti-
mate it is on the basis Of the increase
which have occurred in the investment
in the properties and in the amount
of traffic handled.
"Now, in the ten years from June
80, 1905, to June 80, 1915, the increase
in the freight business was 81 per cent
and the increase in the passenger bust
II l.
vestment made in new facilities was
$5,300,000,000, or Al per cent.
Big Increase on Freight.
"The increase in freight business
since the year ended June 1919 Is, has
been 81 per cent and the increase in
passenger business 80 per cent, each
being almost as great as it was in the
preceding ten years. If the new in
vestment had been as great in proper
ton to the increase in traffic during
the last four and half years as it
was during the preceding 10 years it
would have been about 100000 900.
As matter of fact, it has been less
than $1,90O,0O0,00O.
Furthermore, because of advances
in wages and in prices of materials,
dollar would not buy during the
last four and half years more than
two-thirds, and perhaps not more than
one-half as much as it would buy on
the average during the preceding ten
years. Therefore, equated on the 1906
1915 basis of the value of money, the
investment during the last four and
half years has only been about 81 $780,
5000.
Assuming that investment should
have been made during this four and
3 half years as fast in proportion to
the increase of traffic as it was dur
ing the preceding ten years, the in
vestments in the railways has fallen
behind approximately $780, 100000
during this time.
"But that is stating the deficiency
in the pre-war value of money. In the
year 1919 two dollars would not buy
a railroad any more labor, equipment

ing him down. Yeomans, the hired man
on the Martin estate, went to the aid
of Martin. YeOmans pulled Corbin off
of Martin and it is alleged that Corbin
grabbed the Ratchet belonging to
Martin and made lunge at him and
threatened to kill him. Corbin told
Martin that he was under arrest, but
" is alleged that Martin did not
know that Corbin was deputy sheriff.
Yeomans is alleged to have carried
Martin to the house and called physi-
clans to attend him+
1t is alleged that at nine o'clock that
night Corbin with eleven men from the
town of Salem, one of them Deputy
Sheriff Manning and one of them armed
with shot gun, went to the Martin
home and demanded Martin and Yeo-
mans. When the two men were in
formed that they were under arrest
they made no fight against the Of
fcials. They walked across the field
to the main road and were loaded into
automobiles and brought to Kenosha.
Martin gave bonds for the two of them
and they were released. On the fol-
lowing Tuesday when charges against
Martin and Yeomans came up in the
municipal court, the two men were
discharged on the order Of the dis
trict attorney.
Then came the filing of the suit for
damages. Martin demands twenty
thousand dollars for the assault and an
equal sum for false arrest.
Claims COrbin Seriously Injured.
Attorney Calvin Stwart, represents
ing Corbin, this morning declared that
his client had been attacked by Mar
tin and Yeomans after Martin had re-
sisted arrest and that Corbin had been
seriously injured in the fight. Tha
members of the Martin party declare
that there was no attack made on Cor
bin. Attorney Stewart declared that
at the time Martin was mailing up the
gate leading to the road that he was
trespassing on the property of Corbin
and that Corbin had ordered him of
of the property before he sought to
make the arrest.
AS both men are wealthy It IS exc
pected that the litigation viii be pro-
longed

GET NEW FAVOR

In order that uniformity may re-
suit in applying the statute granting
under the Wisconsin income tax act,
as apply to citizens of the state, John
H. Leenhouts, county assessor of in
comes in Milwaukee, on Saturday Sc
cured ruling from the state tax COM
mission on application of the law.
May Prohibit Business.
"That the state may prohibit nom
resident from carrying on business
within its borders is a very reasonable
ground for subjecting such nonresi-
dent, although not personally yet to
the extent of his property held or his
business transacted or occupation car
ried on therein, to a duty to pay taxes
not more onerous in effect than those
imposed on residents"
The ruling of the state tax commits
sion on the question of the exemp-
tions of nonresidents is as follows:
section 1087m-5 of the income tax
law prescribed certain personal ex-
emptions $500 single person, $1,000
husband and wife, 5000 each child
under IS years of age, and $500 each
dependency in computing the income
of individual taxpayers but subdivision
(e) of the same section expressly pro-
vides that the aforesaid exemptions
shall not apply to incomes derived
from sources within the state by non
residents thereof
Grant Personal Exemptions.
"The effect of these provisions is to
grant personal exemptions to residents
of Wisconsin, and deny them to resi-
dents of other states. The United
States Supreme court has recently held
that similar provision of the New
York income tax act violates section
2 of article " of the United States
constitution providing that the citi-
zens of each state shall be entitled
to all privileges and immunities Of
citizens in the several states
'This provision Of the federal con-
stitution is binding on the legislature
of Wisconsin as veil as that of New
York, and the reasoning Of The Supreme
court in New York case is equally an
plicable to both"

BIGGEST SUIT TN
CIRCUIT COURT
Charles Martin Demands
$4,000 from Byron J.
COrbin in Action.
CLAIMS FALLS ARREST

Alleging assault and battery and
false arrest, Charles w. Martin,
wealthy manufacturer of Chicago, who
owns large summer home in the town
of Salem near Cross Lake, has insti-
tuted an action in the circuit court of
Kenosha county demanding damages in
the amount of forty thousand dollars
from Byron J. Corbin, one of the best
known men of the town Of Salem. The
summons and complaint in the action
was served by Attorneys George w.
Taylor and Wallace ingalls, on Satur-
day afternoon and at the same time
Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit court
issued a civil warrant for the arrest
of Corbin on charges stated in the
complaint on which the suit is based.
Corbin was brought to Kenosha and
released on bonds of $4,000 pending
the hearing of the action for damages
and it is expected that the case will
come up for hearing in the circuit
court before the end Of the present
adjourned term of the court.
Counter Suit to Be Filed.
Attorney Calvin Stewart, who repre-
cents Corbin in the litigation, an
nounced today that Corbin was prepar-
ing counter action in which he will
charge Martin with resisting an officer
of the county and with assault and
trespass. 1t was declared that Corbin
would demand damages in the sum Of
twenty thousand dollars. Emmett Yeo-
mans, employed on the Martin estate,
as hired man, may also be named as a
defendant in suit brought by Corbin.
1t is admitted that the case is one
of the most sensational ever develop
ing in the town of Salem and there is
lot of bad blood to be aired when
it comes up in court. The basis for
the action for damages is declared to a
personal encounter between Martin
and Corbin which took place at the
property near Cross Lake a week
ago last Saturday.
Martin only recently purchased the
property near Cross Lake, which had
been the home of Grace Coffin Walker.
He is improving the property by the
erection of a summer home declared
to be valued at forty thousand dollars.
Corbin owns the adjoining lands.
Fight Over Road Privilege.
Martin, according to the statement
of his attorneys, spent three thousand
dollars on the construction of private
road leading into his grounds and it
had been frequently used by Corbin.
Martin declared that Corbin left the
farm gates open and that the cattle
from the Corbin farm ran into the
Martin yards and despoiled the lawns,
Martin decided to close up the road
and he was busy mailing up the gate
at the Corbin boundary of the property
week ago last Saturday when he al
leges that Corbin assaulted his knock
