MUST GIVE UP
THREE CHILDREN

L have simply got to give up my
children to some institution so as to
find place to live" This is the ulti-
matum which one woman. handed to
the Kenosha Evening News today as
the latest arrangement Of the city of
Kenosha for failing to provide for
housing its population. The woman
has three interesting little children.
She is self supporting and wants to
keep the children with her. She is
not opulent, but she is not poor, and
she is able to pay for home and pay
for it we'll. The children show that
she is a loving mother and anxious
to care for them.
This woman is not making an idle
threat. She is going to take these
three interesting little children and
place them in one Of the institutions
o. the state, because there is no place
in Kenosha for them to call home.
She Is not going to ask the state 70
support her children, either. She is
can live here and continue her work
and the greater part of her earnings
will go to the support of the children.
Don't Want the Children.
"What is to be done for people who
have small children ~ asked this
woman today. "I have been forced
out of the house where we have been
living and when have asked about
renting other apartments the first
question the people ask you is 'IHave
you any children ~
81 used to feel pride in the fact that
had three children. / think lot of
them and believe that they are as
good as the average children but they
are not grown up. They are just at
the interesting age, the age where
children like to play and run about
the house. They may be q little de-
structive at times, but it seems to me
that there should be somewhere in
Kenosha where these children would
be welcomed. We are not looking for
charity--the children and I've want
to pay our way every day in the week,
and are able to do it. Some people
have told me that it was against the
law to rent an apartment to woman
with children"
Condition Is Common One.
This mother declared that the en-
barge against children in rented apart
ments in Kenosha was common through
out the city and that practically all the
high grade apartments were now bar
ring their doors to the children.
It is declared that scores of families
in Kenosha are facing just what this
mother of three children is facing.
That landlords have seen chance to
rent their flats and houses to men
and women without children and that
they have practically adopted the rule
people with children need not apply"
This mother today is planning to
kiss these little children goodbye and
send them to an institution in Milwau-
kee. She has been assured that with
out the children she can have an apart
ment. With them she is barred.
With the coming of the spring NOV
ing it is declared that many families
with little children will find it i'm
possible to get homes in Kenosha and
it seems that the only that these peo-
pie can solve the home problem is to
send the children away.

BOOZE FLOWING
DICE ROLLING
KenOshan Says City Sure
ly Is Not Closed Up
Tight.
shl Here's a secret!

Sh! Here's a secret!
But the man who knows this secret
wants to let the whole city of Keno
sha know what he has discovered. He
declares that he knows a place in
Kenosha, and he names it, too, where
the "booze is still flowing and the dice
are still rolling every night" He ad-
mits that he wants the "lid clamped
IN tight" and that his. anxiety to let
the people of Kenosha know of his
secret is based on the hope that pub
licity will bring this about.
He unfolded his news in communi-
cation received this morning by the
"Kenosha Evening News" in which he
tells of his discovery and urges that
something be done "to make Kenosha
better"
spigots Still Flowing.
"The United States was to have gone
dry January 10, 1920" he writes, "and
so was Kenosha. But in vain! There
is still one place where the booze is
still flowing as freely as before" Then
the writer became specific. He men
toned former saloon on the west
side of Kenosha and declared that
there the spigots were still wide open
and it was not water that was running
through the mains. He did not volun-
teer any information as to whether he
had tested the output, but he insisted
that this information was reliable.
The prohibition question was not
the only thing which is bothering this
informant. He wants the police
wakened again to the necessity of con-
tinuing their war against gambling.
He declares that over on a certain
strickland he names the place-"the
bones have been rolling every night
and all night until five and six in the
morning, when taxis come to haul them
away"
The writer asserts that he has writ
ten of these things in order to waken
those who do not know of their exist.
ence and to make it possible to close
them up as soon as possible. The com.
munication is being kept at the Office
of the "Kenosha Evening News" and
it's contents will be made public to any
officials who care to investigate the
rumor.

POLITICS WARNS
IN THE WEST
But Little Enthusiasm Has
Been Aroused by Moving
Convention to Coast.
REPUBLICANS TO WIN

Washington proverbial politi-
cal pot is boiling over in the inter-
mountain states-Utah, Idaho, Colora-
do, Neveda, Wyoming and Montana
if reports brought to Washington by
prominent public men are correct.
A feature Of the situation is the lack
of enthusiasm over the democratic
move in taking the convention of that
party to San Francisco. This has
caused hardly a ripple through the
intermountain country.
Business men, land owners, and the
public generally, it is said take it for
granted the Republicans are going to
win and they are looking forward to
policies under republican admins
tration which will be helpful to re-
clamation and irrigation.
Mineral Leasing Bill Helps.
Then, too, the passage of the mineral
land leasing bill by congress recently
has added much to Republican strength
1t is conceded that this measure is of
greater benefit to the western states
than any other legislation adopted by
congress aside from the reclamation
act.
Party activity is marked in the diff
erent states named and factionalism
of the sort that threw these states to
the Democrats in past campaigns is
conspicuous by it's absence.
Former Governor William Spry of
Utah, formerly chairman of the Cover
nor's Conference is one Of the Repub-
lican leaders who predict a complete
turnover in the west this fall.
West Interested in Itself.
Primarily the west is interested in
itself" said Governor Spry, who is in
Washington in charge of the work un-
dertaken by the Western States Recla-
nation association, "but it looks to the
Republican party in the future as it
has in the past for constructive legis-
lation designed to develop our great
resources. The railroad legislation, the
oil land leasing bill and other such
measures adopted by this congress is
not escaping attention in the western
states and credit is going where it
is due. / believe the west fully real
ICES today that its future is safest in
the hands of Republican statesmen"
Republican Victory Sure.
G. G. Dawson of Denver, Colo, for
mer president of the Colorado Bar as
sociation, and conceded to be one of
the best posted men in the nation on
the resources of these western states,
is another who declares that Repub-
lican victory is assured in the inter
mountain states this fall. Mr. Dawson
is particularly enthusiastic over the
mineral land leasing bill which he
characterizes as Constructive mea-
sure typical of sound Republican legis-
lation."
eve have been trying for six years
to get some bill through congress that
would provide for the permanent de-
velopment of the great oil, coal and
phosphate resources in the western
states" said Mr.. Dawson. 1t remained
for Republican congress to accomplish
this, and while the bill is not all that
the states wanted, it is something It
is a restrictive measure, and though
it is not the best from the viewpoint
of the individual states, it is a whole
lot and gives promise of immediate
and tremendous development of our
Unreasonable resources"

commission was to be used as a basis
for new contract and would not be

CITY TAX LISTS
TURNED OVER

Out of a tax levy Of $S,236,882.7T
Kenosha people paid this year all but
$50 ,33040. This was shown this morn
ing when City Treasurer George H.
Lauer made his final report for the
year to County Treasurer James W.
treasurer the lists of unsolicited tax
es. Of this amount there was real
estate tax to the amount of SIT, 1929;
personal property tax Of $14,296.96;
income tax of $6,267.91 and delinquent
sur taxes including soldier bonus and
educational bonus to the amount of
$1,573.02.
Although the total Of the tax war
rant this year was far in excess of the
total handed to the treasurer in form
er years, the delinquent tax is smaller,
rejecting the prosperous conditions in
Kenosha in new light.
DelinQuents Must Pay.
The delinquents will have to pay for
their delinquency as with the turning
over of the list to the treasurer a col
lection charge of $50 will be added to
the tax and in addition the tax payer
must pay the cost of advertising the
property for the tax sale. 1ed will be
added monthly to the tax until the tax
sale is held in June. After the title
to the property has been sold for the
unpaid tax, the tax payer to redeem
it must pay a 1870 penalty.
