Cut in Rail Charges.

The repeal of transportation taxes
imposed by the Revenue Act, effec,
tive January /, 1922, willin reality
mean a reduction of s per cent in
the passenger and 3 per cent in
the freight charges.
On a one way ticket from Chicago
to California, for example, the
passenger will save the substantial
sum of So Al, and on a round-trip
ticket $40 27.
The Importance of the saving to
the public is we'll illustrated by the
fact that during 1921 thetax figures
show that the Chicago and North
Western road, for example, report
ed approximately half million
dollars per month collected from
travellers and shippers to cover the
revenue tax.

Much New State Highways.

AS the year 1927 draws to close
it is to be recorded that the state
Of Wisconsin has 2278 miles more
Of fine surfaced highway than it
had last year. The present year
has been an exceedingly active one
in highway construction, with the
record Of accomplishment away up.
The Highway Commission has
isued brief preliminary report Of
construction work for the year
which gives substantially the total
accomplishment though the year
is not yet closed. Few people who
are not keeping tab on the work Of
the Commission realize how rapidly
the whole system Of roads in the
state is being made over into high
ways passabIe for vehicles Of all

The trapping of fur bearing
ANIMALS is not as profitable as il
might seem, according TO the ex-
perience of an Iron county trapper
as furnished the News this week.
An article in these columns last
week headed Trapping Attracts
Many in which the chances for
making money in the business was
dwelt on, concluding with a sche-
dule of prices for skins quoted by
Chicago fur house, prompted the
trapper's communication TO the
News.
This trapper sent in two mink
skins to a Chicago house, One
of the skins he considered as large
and the other as medium. The
skins from these animals bring as
high as $50, according to the price
list. The return voucher showed
that one of the mink skins had
been graded as medium, for which
the trapper received 81 50. The
other skin was graded as small and
for this skin he received 81 so.
He also sent in four weasel skins,
one of which he considered as large.
They were graded as one medium
and two small, stained, and one
grey back. For the first three he
received IS cents and for the fourth
IS cents, a total of 90 cents Weasel
are quoted as high as 81 Is in the
price list.
This trapper' S communication was
evidently meant to show that it
does not pay to ship furs away,
but he did not say how they are
to be disposed of and realized on
otherwise, since that is the general
way of doing. He concludes with
the remark that they won t catch
me any more.

NEW TAX LAW IN EFFECT
FIRST OF THE YEAR
American Public Will Benefit by Re.
auctions in Federal Taxes and
Repeal of War Tszes.

Beginning the first of the year
the new federal tax law, with re,
auctions and repeats that will bene-
! fit the American public, which was
passed at the special session of
congress, becomes effective.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the new tax law is the one
that repeats all taxes on wearing
apparel, shoes, etc. The taxes on
toilet articles. soaps, powders, etc. !,
and soft drinks and ice cream are
also done away with under the
operations of the new law. Al
though the new law does not repeal
the luxury" tax on household
furniture, trunks and other manu-
featured articles, it shifts the tax
from the consumer to the manufac-
turer. Under the old law the
consumer paid the tax on the basis
of the retail price. This retail
price, of course, represented all of
the various profits made by the
manufacturer and the middlemen.
Under the new law the tax is all
paid by the manufacturer upon the
basis of the manufacturing cost
The tax upon insurance premiums
is repealed.
The largest item of reduction is
that in transportation taxes. The
new law wipes out all taxes which
have been paid by passengers in
the purchase of tickets and by
shippers, who have paid taxes
based on freight rates and parcel
post rates. The passenger tax
amounted to per cent on every
ticket bought over AZ cents in value.
The freight tax amounted to 3 per
cent on the face value of the freight
bills. The parcel post tax was one
cent on each rs cents of postage.
All told, these taxes took out of
the pockets of the Americanpublic
$500, 900, 900 year. All this will
stop OH January 1st. None of the
taxes thus collected went into the
pockets of the railroads, as it was
all collected by them on behalf of
the government, so that railroad
revenues are not affected by the
repeal of these taxes.
Outside of the travelling and
shipping public the next largest
class of people affected are the
heads of families and those who
have dependents. The new tax
law reduces the amount they are to
pay by S70,00O,O0O. Under the
old law married men or heads of
families having an income of less
than SIS 900 a year were allowed an
exemption of s., 1000. Under the
new law this exemption is increas-
ed to 81, 500. This change goes
into effect on this years income.
II will affect over 100000 heads
of families. Under the old law
heads of families. or those who had
dependents, were allowed an ex-
emption of $500 for each dependent.
Under the new law this exemption
is increased to $500. This will
affect about $50, 900 individuals in
addition to the 1000, 600 mention
ed above.
The first $500 of income derived
from building and loan associa-
tons is exempt under the new law.

kinds at all times Of the year. The
preliminary reportreferred to shows
that a total of 1904 miles of road

CAUGHT AGAIN
Frank Martis' Stay in Detroit House
Of Correction Didn't Stop His
MOonshining Procliylties

Sheriff Waite caught Frank Martis
red handed last Wednesday morning
In the act OF distilling moonshine.
Mr.. Waite got wind of what was going
on out at the Martis place so he
timed his visit so as TO be there at
Franks busy hour.
Sure enough, he was busy. The
still was hot. Moonshine was trickl-
ing from the worm and Frank was
chuckliDg with glee as he saw the
two-gallon crock OF Igor slowly fill.
He had trip TO town planned for
noon time.
The sheriff took charge OF the en-
tire outfit and swore out a warrant
for Franks arrest.
Martis served six months time in
the Detroit House OF Correction last
year. He made the statement upon
his return that he would keep out OF
the laws clutches for the rest OF his
life.
Evidently Franks expectancy and
his actual longevity didn't jibe very
well.

A SAD CASE
Segrid Pentilla Liable TO be Crippled
For Life Because OF Strain

Some few weeks ago We reported
the serious illness OF Segrid Pentilla,
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. Pintella Of
the Fortune Lake farming section.
This little girl was hurried to the
General Hospital after an attack OF
paralysis OF the lower limbs following
athletic exercises at the gymnasium
at the Forest Park school. Her condi-
tion presented such n problem that
DR.. Bovik asked for counsel in the
matter and DR.. Mink was brought here
from Chicago TO consult with and
assist DR.. Bovik in the case.
As result of the visit ofDr. Mink
an operation was performed with the
idea OF drawing of blood which was
causing a pressure ON some OF the
nerves radiating from the spinal col
umn. The operation has given some re-
lief but locomotion is very slow In re-
turning and physicians say that it
may be a year, 1t may be a month. II
may be many years before the girl
recovers use OF her lower limbs.
Mr.. Pintella appeared before the
Board of Education at its meeting
last Tuesday evening TO consult with
the members in an effort 20 reach an
understanding as to liability and aid
in caring for the large doctor bills
that are piling up as result OF the
injury.
Supt. Hill made. an explanation of
the surrounding conditions at the time
the girl was stricken for the informa-
tion OF the board members. He said
that Segrid. in company with the other
fgirl pupils OF her class was at work
in the gym an exercise called "stra-
die ball" which consists OF passing q
ball between the legs to the one stand
ing next in the rear, the ball being
received from the person ahead. The
exercise was not at all strenuous
and the girl displayed no fatigue nor
did she make an extra eertion. The
class was dismissed the children filed
out OF the gym and up the short
fight OF steps TO their assembly
rooms. Az segrid neared tho top OF
this flight of stairs she became sud
denly affected. lost her powcr OF loco
motion. had TO be assisted to a seat
and was later on hurried to the hos
pital. Tho subsequent treatment CIV
en- her has been detailed.
Mr.. Pintelia felt that II there Is a
liability on the part OF the schools he
should have assistance in caring for
the child and stated that he would
be perfectly satisfied II the board
would take care OF the doctor bills
whoich have already amounted to over
$500 and will probably continue for a
long time.
The board agreed that II was a case
OF particular merit but as public ser.
wants they must make thorough in
vestigation as TO liability before COM
ing 10 any decision.
Later:- DR.. Bovik tells us that Miss
Segrid Is improving more repidly than
he expected and he now has great
hopes for her speedy recovery.
