Governor Takes Issue with Senate.

Gov John j. Blaine took direct issue
with the senate and resubmltted the
name of Brayton o. Webster, Della
field. as a member of the state con-
seryation commission. He points out
the qualifications of Mr.. Webster for
the position and declares that the stat
ute does not disqualify man from
serving on the commission if he be-
longs to no political party.
Il am convinced that / am serving
the public interests in resubmitting the
name of Mr.. Webster" declares Gov
ernor Blaine. sit is unthinkable to be-
lieye that party aftiliation is necessary
for public service. For emphasis, / re
peat that the statute does not provide
that the members of the commission
must belong to any party"

Few peserters in Wisconsin.

That Wisconsin probably has as few
deserters as any state in the Union is
the belief of Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way. Immediately after the war the
federal authorities sent a list of 5000
men TO the state officials, but through
tracing men who had enlisted in for
eign armies and in the United States
army previous or Immediately follow
ing the draft the list has been reduced
to 1.150 THE total list of deserters
for the country is approximately l6O,-
600" declared General Holway, while
Wisconsin has hut 1850 of that num-
Der. The ratio for Wisconsin is appar-
emily very low. Just last, week /
cleared the names OF 60 Polish men in
Milwaukee who had enlisted in the

at Washington will publish the COM
plete list of men who have any reason
to believe their names might be on the

their draft boards or General Holway
at once. That many names will be
published which should not be Is the
opinion Of General Holway, but he said
that it was impossible to get com

made up for the most part of technical
deserters. Men who evaded the draft

Education Costly in This state.

In a bulletin issued by the tax COM
mission there are presented for the
first time exact figures and data
showing the cost of education in the
cities of Wisconsin. A review of the
local tax rates shows that anywhere
from one-quarter TO more than one
half of the taxes collected in cities
goes to education of children. Mad
-isons Ops tax rate gives more than
one-quarter for school purposes. On
d total assessed value of all property
of $S1, 1881, Madison taxed itself to
the sum Of S645,3S5 for schools in
1920. OF this sum, $31 ,074, according
to the tax commissions figures. went
TO county school tax and $614.311 was
raised for local schools. An interest
ing comparison of the tax rates for
schools In cities can be complied by
using the legal tax rate limit of .0350
as basis for deduction. This limit
of $3.50 has been exceeded by at least
80 cities in the state. There is pend
ing legislation In the legislature now
which, by making some of the debts
of these cities retroactive. would legal
ize their excesses. But using the legal
limit as the basis, there are found the
following facts: Alma has a school
tax rate of OPS; Altoona, .0254 Au-
gusta, 02T3; Bayfield,, DIGS; Berlin.
0159; Black River Falls .0196;
Chetek, 0155; Chippewa Falls, .0136;
Colby, 0156; Crandon. 0194; Dodge
vile, .0105; Eau Claire, OPP; Fenni-
more. .01s2 Fond du Lac, .0133

onie .0136: Milwaukee, .0123; SUI
perior, .0136 These are not all the
places that have high rates. The list
is long. The highest rate is found in
Alma with tax rate of .027S for its
schools. the lowest for Delavan with
the school tax rate taking Il .0064 por-
ton of the taxes raised by the COM
munity. The total taxes raised for
local and county schools in Wisconsin
last year was $17672.652 on an as
sessed valuation Of $1.743. 2S3, S01.

MIR. ROCKEFELLER'S USEFUL MIL
IT0NS
(From The New York World)

(From The New York World)
John D. Rockefeller's fortune is
shown by the acid test of income-tax
figures to equal If it does not exceed
popular estimates of its magnitude.
Computations based on the statistics
of the Internal Revenue Bureau in
dicate that in 1917 it amounted to
from $500 100000 to $1,O00,000, 900 and
yielded an annual income of 43,0O0,-
600; and this colossal total is ex-
elusive of gifts approximating half
a billion dollars to public benefac-
tions.
Surely this is a mammoth aggrega-
tion of private wealth. It's yearly in
come alone passes the bounds of what
in a recent period Of popular agita-
ton were denounced as Swollen for
tunes" Yet even the devil must be
given his due, and, viewed as wealth
for purposes of income taxation, it is
very useful and handy fortune. It's
income is the equivalent of more than
10000 incomes of $4,000, and no doubt
it's distribution in small holdings OF
this nature would be socially beneficial
to the country.
Unfortunately, $4,000 incomes do not
figure in the matter of tax yields. 1t
is when the collection of excess-profits
taxes begins that the Rockefeller for
tune shines with fullest lustre. In
humber metaphor, it is then the most
valuable of milch COWS for the gov
ernment, and it's sins are temporarily
lost sight of in the contemplation of
its virtues as producer of tax reven-
ue for an extravagant Congress.

THE THREE-NATION NAVAL PRO.
RLEM

England, the United States and
Japan are trying to arrive at some un-
derstanding that will halt for time
at least, the construction of more
war ships. Just at the present time
this country wants navy, as large
as any other country, and can afford
to build and man such a navy much
more than can France, England or
Japan.
If England is as desirous to halt
naval construction as her states say,
let England sell the United States
enough war ships to make the naval
forces of the two naval countries
equal, and let Japan stop building
war ships and that would solve the
problem. This country could give
Great Britain credit on their four
billion war loan for the value of the
war ships sold to the United States
and that would reduce her interest
account.

"THE WAY TO RESUME is TO RE.
SVMFS

AS Horace Greeley said years ago
regarding the resumption of specie
payment, 'the way to resume is to
resume" The best way to get busi-
ness back to normal is to begin to
buy the things we need when the
price is fair, without waiting for them
to reach a possible lower price. Such
careful buying will induce sellers to
make a fair price. But as long as
there is no buying many feel that the
price does not matter.
The first thing is to realize fully
that business is coming back, that
it must come back. Then that each
must do his share to hasten its COM
ing by acting and buying in a way
as near to normal as circumstances
will permit. This will be real econ
omy in the end.

to aid consumers has been confined
almost entirely to the amount of but

along because Of unsanitary condi-
tions of the stables or kitchen where
the milk was strained and left in un-
protected cans to absorb disease
germs. At Cedar Rapids a survey
was made of the situation and a
frightful condition was discovered.
The Chamber Of Commerce cooper
ating with the county agricultural
agent, the milk producers, milk dis
tributors and the city council agreed
on plan of action which was en-
bodied in an ordinance passed by the
city council. A city milk inspector,
graduate of dairy college and an
expert in his line was employed to
carry out the agreements of the milk
producers and the Chamber of Com
merce representing the consumers and
considerable progress towards pure
milk is the result. Many complica-
tions have materially interferred be-
cause of insufficient power by the city
council to control the situation and
to the lack of support of the state
dairy department. The situation is
further complicated because the fund
for carrying on tests by the federal
and state governments has been ex-
hausted and can not be resumed un-
til additional appropriations are made.
Mr.. Knickerbocker has introduced
bill making an appropriation of $4O0,-
900 for the purpose of carrying on
the work of eradication Of tubercu-
losis in live stock. 1t is understood
that the federal government will add
another 100000 to this sum.
