BLAINE FAILS TO
ACT ON PROHIBITION
Leaves Madison without Making Any
Statement as to Stand on the
MathesOn Bill.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison, Wis. = Governor Blaine
left for Sheboygan this noon, where he
will deliver Wisconsin day address
tomorrow night without having taken
any definite action on the Matheson
prohibition enforcement bill, which is
before him for signature or veto.
The governor has made no intimation
concerning his probable action He
will not return to Madison until Mon
day, the day before definite stand
is required, since the time limit on the
bill before it automatically becomes
law, is Tuesday.
Anti-Saloon League representatives
declare that they feel confident of his
signature to the new enforcement bill.
Others who are close to the governor,
express the opinion that he will send
the act back vetoed.
Suggestion is made by the Anti-Sa-
loon League that if the governor de-
sires amendments a new bill should be
introduced and passed carrying his
recommendations, if they do not con-
fict with the provisions of the Volstead
act.

STARTLING FACTS
FOR CHILD WORKERS.
Report Filed Today Shows that Many
of the Child Workers Are
Illiterate.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Washington - Federal administra
tion of the child labor law has brought
into view the vicious circle of child
labor illiteracy, bodily feebleness and
poverty" according to a report issued
today by the children's bureau of the
Department of Labor. During the nine
months in which the first federal law
was in force in five states in which
it was necessary for the children's bu-
reau to handle directly the inspection
of certificates Of age, the statement
said, $4,000 children applied for certi-
ficates and 1896 were granted to chill
dren between IA and 16 years old, al
most equally divided as to sex.
About one fourth of the ychildren
could furnish no documentary evil
dence of their age, many were found
under weight and in poor health, few
had gone to school beyond the fourth
grade and many couldNnot read or write
at all, the report said. Many of the
parents to whom the physical defects
of their children were reported were
unable to pay for medical attention and
in most eases the report declared no
public clinics were available to lend
assistance.

THE MEMORIAL AT BRIGHTON

The town of Brighton set an excellent exam
pie for the rest of Kenosha county and the
rest of Wisconsin on Monday~afternoon when
it unveiled with due ceremony monument to
the memory of the men who fought or stood
ready to fight in the great world war Brigh-
ton went on record as being the first town in
Kenosha county which declared eve have not
forgotten" Every town in the county and the
city of Kenosha should at once follow the lead
of the town of Brighton. While the memory Of
the service of these men is still bright in the
minds of the people there should be some action
to collect for posterty the story of their service
and have it laid before the people in some per-
manent form.
AS the rattle of musketry died away after
the signing of the armistice many plans were
proposed in Kenosha for memorial for the
men who served but these plans have not been
carried out AS the years pass the story of the
sacrifice that these men made is being forgot
ten and in just few years it is going to be
mighty hard for any one to write that story
and write it intelligently. We believe that some
official step should be taken now to have the
name and statement of the service Of every
soldier who went from the city of Kenosha
written into the official records of the city. 1t
may be that there is not a fund at this time
for the erection of such memorial as Kenosha
might deem fitting to the lives of these men but
just the same official records should be made
now to hand down to posterity the wonderful
story of the part Kenosha as city and county
had in great world war This is notable

THE STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION

It is to be hoped that the officials Of the city
of Kenosha will give all the effort possible to
discourage any action on the part of the legis-
Iature to interfere farther with local taxation.
The call of Mayor Hoan for the cities OF the
state to protest with vigor against the lnten-
ton of the state to convey personal property
taxes properly collected in local districts into
funds for highway construction is based III
reason. The increasing willingness of the state
to reduce local funds in order to pour money
into the treasury of the state must be froWned
upon and it is to be hoped that the members OF
the legislature from this district will vote SOL
idly against any plan to give the state chance
to dig deeper into the funds collected by local
taxes and to divert these funds to the uses OF
the state.
It is true that the state needs money but the
cities need money also If the state needs
money for any purpose it has lawful right to
assess taxes to collect this money. This plan
of taking portion and an ever-increasing por-
ton of the local taxes for state uses must be
discontinued. The state has been slowly but
surely taking more and more every year. OF
the inheritance tax the state takes hundreds OF
thousands and gives the cities or county tens
The state takes ninety-eight per cent Of the
fines collected in the courts and gives the coun-
ties two it takes big dip into the income tax
every year and now it seeks to dip into the per-
sonaI property tax. Cities are burdened with
taxes because the cities are being ordered to
tax their people in order that some state official
may make an excellent campaign argument by
saying, "You see we did not assess any state
tax against you last year" The local commu-
mites have remained idle while the state has
taken away the taxes of utilities and given back
to the cities and counties some meager pit
lance. The state has taken over the taxation
of the railways and in fact nearly every large
agency for the collection Of taxes has been
taken over by the state.
We want to build and maintain highways but
we want this work to be done by the state and
with the assurance that the state and not the
local community will take upon itself the bur-
den for collecting the tax. Personal property
taxes-no matter what they are assessed
against-are demanded for the support of local
communities.
Right now is the time to call a halt and Keno
sha and every other city in the state should
make a vigorous protest at Madison against
any attempt on the part of the legislature to
further divert locally assessed taxes into the
state treasury.

SILVER GIVEN
LIFE SENTENCE
Bandit Who Worked in Ke-
nOsha Reaches Trails
End Friday.


Abe Silver, head of the band of
bandits who worker at the Jacobson
gambling house in Kenosha, came to
the end Of the criminal trail in the
circuit court room at Warsaw, Indiana,
just after four o'clock Friday after
noon when he was. sentenced to term
of life imprisonment in the Indiana
state prison at Michigan City. Sent
ence on Silver and his three com
panions, Peter Fox, John R. Burns and
Joseph Byers, was pronounced by Judge
L. W. Royse after the motions of the
defendants for a new trial had been
denied. Mrs. Silver and the "baby"
were in the court room when Silver
heard the sentence of the court.
The Kenosha bandit was sentenced
under the name of Arthur Silbert, the
name he had given when he was ar
rested following the robbery of the
bank at Culver, Ind, last December.
The four men had been charged with
the murder of J. Russell Saline, Gull
yer merchant, who had been member
of posse of citizens which had gone
out to capture the bank robbers.
When Silver and his pals were called
before the court for sentence, Silver
was at the head of the line. "Have
you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon your"
asked Judge Royse. Silver was the
only one of the men to answer. "I have
nothing to say" was his response
Silver goes to the state prison for
life, still ward of the municipal court
of Kenosha county, as the terms of the
parole issued to him here following
the famous gambling house robbery,
provided that he should be under parole
of the court for a period of seven
years. He was in charge of the Chica-
go probation officers when he violated
his parole and went to Culver to have
part in the bank robbery and the
murder. Silver has always protested
that he did not fire the shot which
killed Saline.
