FINANCE POLICY
OF u. S. AWAITS
REVENUE LAWS

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has announced that no policy had
been determ ned on, SO far as he
knew, in regard to the treatment of
the public debt of the United States,
or the debts owed to the United Stat
es by the allied nations. He expressed
the opinion that these problems would
not be taken up until the permanent
tariff legislation and the revenue
laws had been disposed of by con-
gress.
This means that no new policy as
to the funding of domestic debts or
the loans to the allies WI be adopt
ed at least until August.
From the attitude taken by Mr.
Mellon it would appear also that no
developments in regard to the pay
ment of interest on the allied loans
may be expected before August.

FACTS ABOUT THE
HICHWAY

Recently Chief Engineer first of
Madison, in talk which ne was ask
ed to give before the legislature,
made very clear the general construc-
ton policy of the wisconsin Highway
Commissions constructive work.
"There must be provided in any
efficient state highway system, said
Mr.. Hirst, "three classes of highways.
First, state highways, of interest to
all the people Of the whole state,
These highways must be laid out,
regulated and constructed by the state
for the benefit and convenience of the
citizens of the state as a whole. Sec
ond, county highways, or county trunk
highways, of interest to all the people
of the county. These must be laid out
constructed and regulated almost en-
tirely by the county boards Of the var
ious counties for the benefit and con-
venience of the citizens of the county.
Third, town highways, which should
be laid out constructed and controll-
ed by the town officials for the bene-
fit and convenience of the people of
the towns" "The highway program in
this state" continues Mr.. Hirst, "is
by far the largest construction en-
terprise ever attempted in the history
of the state. 1t involves, not the pre-
paration and application of few cubic
yards of surfacing materials, but the
preparation and ppliction of millions
of yards. In the grading we will move
probably 100000 cubic yards Of
earth and rock. We expect to use l.
100000 barrels of cement, or 5000
average carloads. Further, it is not
simply matter of properly controll-
ing the character and manner of the
construction and maintenance buy
proper state administration includes
the protection of public interest in
every phase of the enterprise"

u. S. TAX RECEIPTS
EXCEED ESTIMATES

An optimistic tone was given to the
general financial condition of the gov.
ernment on Thursday by announce
ments made by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon.
The first was that March collec-
tions of income and profit taxes, in
stead of falling below estimated
needs, had amounted to slightly over
$7OOOO0,OOO and had thus exceeded by
about $125, 100000 the March Is ma
turtles of principal and interest.
Another announcement was to the
effect that treasury certificates of in
debtedness Of all issues now outstand-
ing werev quoted at par or at pre-.
MUM in the open market.
The $125,O0O,0OO made available as
a result ofthe high mark reached by
the taxes received will be devoted to
paying off floating indebtedness.
"This margin" said Mr.. Mellon, sis
therefore available to meet other
treasury requirements, including the
treasury certificates maturing April
Is, 1921, which were offered with a
maturity one month after the quar-
terly tax payment date, in the expec
tation that they might be retired out
'of tax receipts.
"The> secretary of the treasury has
accordingly authorized the federal
reserve banks on and after Friday
April /, 1921, and until further notice
to redeem in cash before April Is, 1921
at the holders option at par and ac
Icrued interest to the date of such op
tional redemption, Treasury certifi-
Gates Of Indebtedness maturing April
Is, 1921"

DIVORCES SHOW
STEADY GAIN

Wisconsin divorces in 1920 reached
the highest number in the states
history, with a total Of 2,425, which is
an increase of SEQ, or % per cent,
over the year before. The rate of
increase over the average of the pre-
ceding 12 vars, when divorces aver
aged 1856 yearly, was 35 per cent.
Figures compiled by the bureau of
vital statistics are the basis fof'these
comparisons. The divorce rates based
upon unmber of marriages similarly
show considerable rise. In 1910 for
every 100 marriages &ere we're ga
divorces recorded. This rate ihcreas-
ed year by year, with one Or two
exceptions, until in 1918 it reached
the high mark of 1875.
In 1920 the decree was granted to
the wife in 1,744 cases and to the
husband in 681 cases, the ratio being
nearly to / in the wife's favor.
Cruelty led among the causes of di-
vorce, with a total of 1,079. Desertion
was next with 701, and non-support
was proven by 347 wives. Adultery
was the charge in 105 actions, in 66
of which the decree was granted to
the husband and in 80 to the wife.
Drunkenness accounted for AZ divor-
ces, three of which were granted to
the husband and SO to the wife. This
is a decline from previous years.
It is considered Of some significan-
ce, sociologically, that in 1,130i of the
cases there were no children in the
family.
The figures on duration of the mar
riage show that 81 marriages were
terminated in less than six months; !;
100 in less than a year.

MAY TAX AUTOMOBILES
UNDER NEW SYSTEM

Automobiles of Wisconsin may be
taxed upon a new system. At the
present time these machines are tax
ed as personal property and the tax
es are collected locally An investiga-
ton which has been made by state
authorities shows that approximately
10000 automobiles that were on the
rolls of secretary of states Office for
auto license last year were overlook
ed by local assessors.
Two plans for taxation of automo-
;biles are now being considered One
plan is to assess the automobiles
when the license is received at office
Uf secretary of state, according to
value of the car ad the tax money
shall be made payable to fund for
highway construction. The other plan
which is under consideration is to
have the person pay his taxes ON his
automobile to the state when he re-
ceives his automobile license. Such a
plan would not permit the use of the
auto license certificate as an offset
against income tax returns. 1t now
seems quite certain that this session
IDf legislature will work out some
definite scheme for taxing automo-
biles.
The legislature is considering dras-
tic steps to prevent the stealing of
autom obiles in the state.

BIG GAINESVILLE
LOVE SUIT DIES
After Jury Has Been Drawn an
Agreement Is Reached in Hatch
johnson Case

There was big disappointment at
Janesville Friday when the spiciness
in the case of Arthur S. Hatch, Mil
waukee auto salesman, against Frank
,B Johnson, Jr., Darien youth, whom,
Hatch charged, had won his wife's
love went a glimmering.
The suit was for $4,000.
With jury drawn and the time, set
for the opening statements, the five at
torneys took recess and after three
hours of closed door proceedings, they
came before the court with a stipula-
ton dismising the action on it's mer-
it's. All Of the records in the case
including the adverse testimony taken
in Elkhorn were ordered destroyed by
the court.
Model Is Vision
Mrs. Hatch, who is declared to be
one of the most beautiful women in
southern Wisconsin, appeared in court
dressed in the height of fashion and
her appearance was marked by an au-
dible series of "ahs" from the specta-
tors as they carefully measured the
former model from nifty toque to satin
pumps Mrs. Hatch who was Eva
Simon, was graduated from the Della
van High school and has posed as a
model for a number Of firms. Her
services for bathing suit art pictures
for ads have been much in demand.
Mrs Hatch Is Cav
The case was originally filed in.
Whitewater but change of venue was
secured because of the intense inter
est existing in the case in Walworth
county, the former home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hatch.
Mrs Hatch entered the court room
accompanied by relatives and friends.
She laughed jovially several times
and her demanor lightened the tens
ness of the situation.
The plaintiff sat w tn his attorneys
and father. Mrs. Hatch and her hus-
band did not even exchange glances.

FIRE STARTS IN
HEART OF CITY
Structure Reduced to Ashes in
Short Time by Quick Blaze;
Little Damage is Sustained

A shed caught fire Friday evening
in the rear of the Stewart-Alexander
Lumber company buildings on Broad
way and burnedN, to the ground.
The blaze started very quickly and
loomed UP to great height. The
southwest wind also aided the flames.
Smoke and sparks flew for block
around the scene.
The fire alarm was turned in about
l8:15 by Miss Margaret Brethauer,
who wals one of the first to see the
flames. Shortly after the alarm the
three fire department trucks were on
duty subduing the blaze.
The structure was owned by the
Stewart-Alexander Lumber company
and was used for store house for
lumber. A few shingles and planks
were inside the place and became
ignited in some way. The origin of
the blaze is not known. The shed was
reduced to ashes and the lumber in
side is nothing but charcoal.
The shed and contents were insured
Save Automobiles
Many in the up town district saw
the blaze, which appeared to be in the
rear of the Prothero & McGinnis
garage and hurried to take their
cars out of the auto shop.
Lights Turned Off
Electric wires snapped and fell to
the ground in the vicinity Of the fire
until the fluid was turned off in the
city by the w. P. L. & H. Co.
Windows Broken
The building occupied by the Berk-
ley garage, which was the nearest to
the fire, had several panes of glass
broken in the windows nearest the
heat, The bricks were slightly scortch-
ed also.
Pictures Shown After Fire
The AL. Ringing theatre did not
show the moving pictures unfit after
the fire had been subdued because the
electricity was turned off. Many who
were going to the show went to the
fire first. The electric lights were
turned off about half an hour.
Shingles Caught Fire
Sparks ignited shingles on the resi-
dence occupied by Mrs. J. H. Mastin
on Fourth avenue but were put out
before damage occurred.
