Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1920-04-16

The result of the national delegate contest in
Wisconsin is not surprising to any one who be-
lieves that the average voter has brains and will
use them if given the opportunity to use them.
The LaFollette delegates went before the people
squarely on platform which contained several
planks not endorsed at all by US, but as whole
a clear definition of the aims the delegates stood
for. On the other hand, the opposing delegates
asked support from the people, and to be left free
to accept whatever convention proceedings may
bring forth or what political expediency may deem
best regardless of the desire of the rank and file
LaFollette principles at least have the merit Of
being open to the world for approval or disaprov-
al

Announcement

nth confidence based upon careful study
wv of the possibilities and diversified resources
of Eagle River and Villas County, we have
decided there is room for frst-class real estate
company here
We take this means of announcing the opening
of the Villas COUNTY LAND COMPANY with
Offices on Railroad Street nearly opposite the
Northwestern station. We do not claim monop-
oily of the progressive spirit but the public may
feel certain that we will be found ready to do
our full share in every move which tends to pro-
mote the growth and development of our town and
county. In opinion the time has come for
Eagle River to realize on its favorable geographi-
cal situation and its natural resources and get in
the 5000 class, and that Villas county should have
the place agricuturally it deserves. We believe
that time will prove that our confidence is well
founded. We invite the cooperation of all who
share this confidence with US.

better illustration Of what the community
spirit will accomplish was never better shown
than in the concerted action by the people of
Eagle River, which resulted in securing an indus
try for the town whose operations for the next
fifteen years or more will add greatly to the growth
Of the town in every way 1t means that every
property owner and business man, in fact every
resident, will derive some advantage from the
plant that will be in operation within six months.
1t is such cooperation that induces other enter
prises to locate and in time make cities of towns
no larger than are today. With the spirit of
Saturday night at work 365 days in the year until

pockets that better town might result for the

OXFORD HOSPITAL
HAS OPENING
Mtny Oxford People Attend. Ladies'
Linen Shower Fills Rooms.

The opening of the Oxford Hospital
Wednesday was attended by hundreds
of Oxford people who visited the new
institution and inspected the new
building.
The ladies of the town and friends
if DR.. ]. C. Culley presented the in
stitution with many pieces of linen,
blankets, comforts, sheets, towels, and
many other useful and appreciated
articles.
The new hospital has just been
completed at cost of about $4,000.
1t has 32 rooms, including offices, and
can accommodate twenty-five patients.
Mr.. Joe Smith was the contractor and
builder, and Mr.. G. A. Fuller, an
expert painter and paper hanger as
well as plasterer, done the finishing
work, plastering and painting.
The building is steam heated and
is one of the best appointed institu-
tions of its kind in the state. 1t is a
credit to Oxford, and our people are
justly proud of the institution.
DR.. and Mrs. J. C. Gully Sr. of
Jaskson, Miss, were present at the
opening and assisted their son, J. G.
Jr., and the cheerful nurses in enter
tanning the guests.
Dr.. Culley is to be congratulated

Some Heavily Touched.

anu lol, WIleIl IL COilleS 10 the law III
the matter.
Some Heavily Touched.
There are many tax payers in Ok
ford who are paying more than their
just share of taxes, just because the
City never sends out man who will
bring home the bacon. 1t is easier
to take the taxes from the county
books or by some second-handed
method. If the assessments are not
sufficient to produce the city budget,
then a few are liable to be touched
upwards in assessments and then the
extra mills are piled on sufficient to
cover the defeats, and in the doctor
ing some are touched unjustly heavy,
while there are others who are en-
jtirely Satisfied" vita their portion
of taxes to run the city government.
No man or woman should object
to bearing their just share of taxes
to run the city government. But
every one should be dealt with alike.
One should not be expected to pay
more tax in proportion to the prop
erty owned than another. But until
taxes are equalized and all property
assessed according to it's value, allow.
ing none to escape, the tax burden
will fall heavily upon the majority of
our people.
The City should have tax assessor
a man who is disinterested and who
KNOWS the valueof property and
who will give every person justice,
regardless of sex, race or precon-
ditions.
When ever the taxes are equally
assessed and the levy reduced to
twelve or fifteen mills, then you will
see the city of Oxford take on new
life, but not until then.
When the City is put back under
the Mayor and board of aldermen
RUE, then conditions will change, but
not until then.

Who is to blame?

The people are not altogether to
blame for not assessing their property
al the city. The officials are large
sy TO blame for the loss of this enor-
slous sum to the city every year, be-
cause, tae City never assesses taxes.
1t gets its assessments from the
county books and then performs the
qioctoring act according to who the
owners are and according to their
Judgment.
Twelve to Fifteen Mills Ample.
If the taxable property Gall of it,
sn Oxford was correctly assessed ac-
soording to its value, from twelve to
Gifteen mills levy would be ample to
ssIn the city, if judiciously expended.
There is noticible difference in the
assessments of buildings and real estat
ia Oxford, so much so that a mighty
iowl is going up from those who are
1,eing SO heavily touched. But there
IS no way for the general public"
ever knowing the tricks and curves in
The assessments of Oxford property,

No Public Information Goes Out.
The Eagle employed man to copy
che tax rolls Of the city; thinking
zhat there would be nonobjection on
che part of the Commissioners to pub
fishing the tax roll of the City. But
when TIE Eagle representative called
esu one of the commissioners for the
saooks and explained his mission he
was told that he could not copy the
weIIs.
1t looks very strange that the city
Officials would object to the public
knowing the assessments of City Prop
esxty. 1t is remarkably strange that

city officials are supposed to be SER

and that they were justly entitled to

that indianapolis is the centrally located

gestion was made that the coliseum at

coliseum and the great building would
accommodate about 10000 people, which
is far more than any other building in
