Claiming that the low price of pulp $500 ton. coupled with freight charges that total $1240 on every dry ton landed q. Seattle, makes it impossible to operate at profit. the Alaska Pulp & Paper Company has decided to close temporarily their SI,eel river plant.

and thimbleberries, like our gooseber-
ries and red raspberries grow wild
everywhere.
Tuesday we visited some Japanese
truck gardens and bought fresh vege-
tables. Also we visited the Crater ho-
tel where they exclaimed over our
bravery at staying all night at the
volcano-"two lone waihinesi" They
told us that there were terrible big
rats in all the rock lodges at the vol
cano, but we didn't happen to see any.
We didn't stay long enough in any
puace, I suppose.
Heavy Rainfall
It was a good thing that we did our
exploring when we did, because Tues
day night it started to rain in good
earnest, and we haven't been out of
the house since, except for two-mile
walk to the mailbox each morning.
The rain comes down in sheets, and
thunders down on the corrugated iron
roof. BY the way, | haven't seen a
single roof since / left the States
they arc not practical where there Is
SO much rain. Well, the rain hasn't
stopped since, we sew, read and,
cook to pass away the time. It is warm
enough except that the evenings are
cool enough TO have a fire in the
fireplace to take away to dampness.
A Strange Christmas
We had the strangest Christmas.
We could look out of the window and
see the tree-fern waving in the wind
and pouring rain. We can't see more
than ten feet in any direction from
the house on account Of the ferns and
vines, but in this rain we are entirely
shut in. However, we had Christ
mas dinner chicken, plum pudding,
ETC., and had lots of fun cooking. It
certainly tasted good, even if there
were only two Of us to enjoy it. The
only drawback was our not getting
any mail. There must have been some
mix-up, and our mail has probably
been sent out to Puhonua as usual,
instead of being forwarded here.
We are having complete rest and
a change of scene, so our vacation is
really success. We are hoping that
the rain won't last much longer, that
we may do some more exploring.
There are so many other things to see
lava tubes, a green lake, other ex-
tinct volcanoes and any other things.
Our faces feel very dry yet from
that night at the volcano. Our hands
and clothes were full of tiny rock
splinters that worked their way into
the skin and are as hard to remove
as cactus thorns

Warm Your Blood

A poet has said that "the owl for
all his feathers was a-cold." Some peo-
pie for all their wraps are a-cold when
ever they are out-of-doors even in nor
NAL winter weather.
It is plain that they need the warmth
there is in pure, rich, red blood, which
reaches through artery and vein, from
head to foot, all over the body. They
could be told by many people, from
experience, that to have this good
blood they should take Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine has real
ly made it possible for many men and
women, boys and girls, to enjoy cold
weather and resist the attacks of dis
ease. It gives the right kind of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens
at the same time, and it's benefits are
as lasting as those Of any tonic pos
sibly can be.
If there is biliousness or constipa-
ton, which often occurs as a result of
the torpifying effect of cold, Hoods
Pills may be taken. They are perfect
ly compatible with Hoods Sarsaparilla
and are gentle and thorough.

SUDDEN DEATH

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examin-
ing physician will test your water
and report whether you are a good
risk. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog, you suffer from back
ache, sick-neadache, dizzy spells, or
twinges and pains of lumbago, rheu-
matism and govt, or sleep is dis
turbed two or three times a night
take heed, before too late!
You can readily overcome such
conditions and prolong life by taking
the advice of a famous physician,
which is: Drink plenty of pure water
and drive the uric acid out Of the

BURD" N OF WAR
IS TAXATION
Subject of Public Expenses Dis
cussed by Members of Fortnight
ly Literary Club Friday Night

1t is war that places the great bur-
den Of federal taxation on a people,
it was held at the regular meeting Of
the Fortnightly Literary club on. Fri
day night In 1920 the total revenue Of
this government was $24,250,0O0; in
1870 disbursements had increased to
293,657 ,005; and now is about $6,133,-
716,757, the last an increase of 1000
per cent in fifty years. These figures
were given by George w. Andrews,
pervisors, in his paper on Federal
Taxation During the next five years
it will be necessary to raise $4,000
100000 annually, the total debt today
being $25 1000, 100000. In 1870 about 80
per cent of the expenditure of the
government was caused by war and
this is no better today. When the
World war came England had not paid
for the debt caused by the war with
Napoleon; the great bulk of the debt
in Europe is the result Of strife.
Changes in Taxation Suggested
Mr. Andrews would have no tax
exempt bonds
The system is wrong to attempt to
ton in that direction is one of the
dangers of the times IN England the
highest rate of surtax is 221s per cent,
our highest rate is 65 per cent. He
was not in favor of federal aid for
roads and other enterprises that com
munities can do themselves,
Mr.. Andrews quoted from Otto H
Kahn, New York fnancier, who has
given much attention to taxation.
A person with an income of $1,000
100000 from 6 per cent bonds is tax
ed 73. per cent. This leaves him net
return of one and 62-100 per cent. Nat
urally he will try to invest in some
thing else. To heavily tax the rich has
gone. from the other extreme of few
years ago. The speaker thought it
rebounded On those with moderate
means. He said the effect of econ
omic laundering by governments is
always felt by those least able to pro-
tect themselves.
Wisconsin Stands at Head
In the discussion of state Taxa
ton" R. B.. Griggs thought the sub
ject was viewed by the average citi-
zen with distrust From 1859 govern
ments have tried to apportion taxes
according to the tax payers ability to
pay with a varying degree of success.
Primitive governments were support
ed by gifts or personal service.
In his reading Mr.. Griggs found
that Wisconsin stood at the head Of
the sisterhood OF states in her tax
system. New York and Massachusetts,
are the only states approaching in eff
cheney. A long step was taken in
500 in this state when the tax commits
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1921-02-17

sion was created Then the general
property assessment of the state was
43 per cent (from 10 per cent to 81
per cent?, while in 1918 it was sc per
cent of the true value. Tax lodging
has been reduced to minimum.
Corporations pay or the average
51a per cent on their incomes, while
individuals pay about 2 per. cent. If
no incomes, no tax. Mr. Griggs thought
the exemptions we're too high; that
there was no absolutely painless sys-
tenn of taxation. Less than 3 per cent
in this stae pay income taxes. No
one wants high taxes yet all want those
things which make taxes high.
Good Service Costs Money
Mr., Griggs pointed out that good
service costs money. 1T has been
his experience as chairman of the
Sank County Highway committee that
the people want to spend more than
the officials desire to burden upon them
especially as to roads. Substantial
improvements cannot be had for song
We could do without the College of
Agriculture at Madison, could do with
out the University of Wisconsin, could
do without improved roads, but who
would do that?
The sentiment prevailed with the
club members too much had been
spent for war and that exemptions
should not be SO high. If all paid tax
es, even a little, they would have more
interest in the government. There
was little sentiment to cut down taxes,
but feeling the money should have
able management in it's expenditure.
Taxes Have Destroyed Government S
No one seemed to have any idea as
to where it would all end. Mr.. Andrews
stated taxes destroyed Charles and
British absolutism; taxes md debts
Destroyed the ancient regime in France.
taxes and debts made a sinking hulk
of the mighty empire of the Tsars.
What will it do for Central Europe? is
a query. America is in the best posi-
ton of them all.
Miss Leila Johnson spoke for the
approaching campaign Of the Y. w. G..
A. and asked all to give the movement
hearty encouragement.
The meeting was at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Cole; the next will
be with Mr.. and Mrs A. Reinking.

merly IL cents for electricity, the
village (this is a municipal planN
asked that it be raised 100 per cent.
The rate commission was afraid the
patrons would largely discontinue the
service and granted a so per cent
raise. Now they are losing $4,000
month on account of the price of coal.
Soon the corporation will furnish
electricity.
rHow about Reedsburg?" shouted
a voice.
Mr. Neff explained the city owned
the water plant valued at about $780,
600, this being operated in connection
with the electric service. The city
pays interest, therefore, on only about
$4,000 invested for electricity.
There are no taxes. The corporation
is selling current to Reedsburg at
about 2 cents and the citizens pay
about TX cents Little laid by for
depreciation
"How about the Baraboo electric
plant?" shouted another voice.
The speaker explained the Baraboo
plant was very irregular on account
of the stages Of the water and could
not be depended upon at all times
Alderman Cheek then gave the fol-
lowing figures as the earnings the
company had paid the city for cur
rent:
1918-$5,415.60
1919 6,116.70.
1920 3,107.50.
Mr. Cheek desired to know why the
receipts had fallen Off.
Mr. Neff replied it was cheaper to
generate electricity at their own
plant. He said the matter had been
called to his attention by City Engi-
neer French and that more would be
taken in the future
Mr. Cheek then explained reser-
voir would soon be built and this
would enable enough electricity to
be generated to supply the city. 1t
was also explained how this might re-
duce rates and taxes
eff current is worth only about IL
cents at Prairie du Sac why should
more be asked when the same current
is brought over line built some time
ago?" was asked.
Mr.. Neff explained an expert had
placed valuation on their entire
property at $1,4O0,O0O and that the
owners valued it at $1,425,000. On
this the company was entitled to
enough to pay taxes, expenses, and
leave profit He said the houses in
Baraboo were lighted on an average
of cents per day. He acknowledged
mistakes had been made. He thought
the citizens had no case and doubted
if rates could be kept lower. Certain
expenses were up and likely to re-
main up-among these taxes and
wages.
AS to gas, the freight on coal at
the present time is more than the
coal formerly cost the company. This
meant higher rates.
Complaints
Mr.. Cady asked that all complaints
be sent to him that he may have
record to present.
1t was evident that some of the
trouble arose from the gas not being
regulated at the burner. Patrons
should know about this. They should
read their own meters.
The discussion continued for some
time and finally the meeting broke up
into little knots, the audience drifting
home.
