TO EXEMPT WIDOWS
In INHERITANCE TAX
Bill to Double Inheritance Taxes is
Then Passed by the Assembly
This Morning.

Madison, Wis. = Amendment was
made to the Arnold bill doubling in
heritance taxes in the assembly this
morning before given final passage,
providing that widows with children
are exempt from the tax up to $4,000.
If the widow dies within ten years
the amendment provides that the
children will not have to pay the tax
a second time.
Claim was made by Assembly1nan
Matheson that passage of the bill
would drive people out of the state,
which brought statement from As
semblyman Edwards that if they want
ed to leave Wisconsin to die, the state
would be willing to let them go.
The Senate is expected to concur in
the amendment, giving the state new
inheritance tax which will, under
present conditions, bring return of
nearly 100000 annually.

IN CITY SALOONS
Number for Coming Year
Promises to be as Large
AS in the Past.
ACCUSED MEN FILE

Optimism is not a forgotten art.
Office of the city clerk where up to
noon today Is of the SO men now in
the saloon business in Kenosha had
filed applications for a renewal of the
Class A permits and what is more, the
clerk admitted that he had been ad-
vised that there would be additions to
the list before it goes to the city
council for its first consideration on
next Monday evening. There have
been few changes on the applications
for some of the old time places but
most of the places which have been in
use as saloon property for years will
be continued in use for this purpose
for another year if the council acts
favorably on the license applications.
An examination of the list of appli-
cants shows a very large proportion of
foreign names. There are only few
of the names of men who have been
actively connected with the liquor
business for years. Several of the
best known men in the business have
not asked for a renewal of the license
and it is said that they will not file
applications.
Many Were on Court Docket.
Reading of the list of applicants for
licenses is reminiscent of the court
docket in the municipal court a short
time ago and many of the men against
whom complaints were filed by the
district attorney, charging them with
selling whiskey, are included on the
list. 1t is seen that a number of the
men whose active connection with the
liquor traffic in Kenosha since the en-
actment of the prohibition amendment,
brought their names before the federal
grand jury in Milwaukee, have not yet
filed applications for a renewal, but it
is expected that before the date for
the issuing of the licenses some new
men will be secured to take the places
of these men.
Breweries Not Interested.
It is declared that the brewing COM
panies, which in former years showed
great interest in securing licenses for
places, are not taking any interest in
the granting of the licenses this year.
1t is said that all of the license fees
must be paid by the men who have
applied for license and that the brew
ing companies will not advance any
money for license fees this year.
The committee on licenses will start
work on the list next Tuesday and it
has been announced that a personal
investigation will be made into the
record of every man who has made an
application for license.
But nine applications for the Class
B permits have so far been made to
the city clerk. This class is largely
soda fountain places and it is expected
that something over hundred appli-
cations for the renewal of these per-
mits will come in later in the month.

PLANK ROAD
HOME BURNS
Home of Rev. MIR. Cooley
Completely Destroyed
by Fire Friday.
WILL BE REBUILT

The parsonage of the Plank Road
Congregational church, located on the
Plank road, about eight miles west of
Kenosha, was completely destroyed by
a fire of unknown origin on Friday
morning. The Rev. Mr.. Cooley and
the members of his family were in the
house at the time the fire broke out
and practically all Of the furnishings
of the parsonage were saved. 1t is
estimated that the loss to the congre-
cation will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000 and it is covered by insurance
of $1,000. It is expected that the lead
ers of the congregation will decide on
Sunday as to steps for the rebuilding
of the parsonage. The parsonage was
erected years ago and it had been the
home of the ministers of the Plank
Road church for over twenty years.
Other Buildings in Danger.
People living as neighbors to the
parsonage were prevented from aiding
on account of the danger to their own
houses. The fire was famed by a
strong east-wind which carried the
sparks from the burning parsonage to
the surrounding houses and several
times these houses caught fire.
The Rev. Mr. Cooley recently came
to the congregation from Racine where
he had been in charge of Americaniza-
tion work among the foreign born of
that city The fire left him and the
members of his family homeless, but
they are being we'll cared for at the
homes of members of the congregation,
pending the building of new par
sonage
