The interesting suggestion is made
in New York that advertising signs,
boarding and posters should be taxed,
as a means of increasing the States
revenue. We have frequently ar
gued that the true policy is not so
much to seek means Of increasing
revenue as to reduce expenses and
limit them to the existing revenue.
Yet there are, of course, times when
an increase of revenue is necessary.
More pertinent still, if legitimate
and desirable source of tax revenue
is found which has not been levied
upon, it is sound policy to assess it,
and thus afford relief to some other
sources which because of that exemp-
ton have been overtaxed. The pre-
sent proposal shy no means new. II
has often been made, sometimes fo1
the purpose of securing revenue or OF
equalizing taxation, and sometimes
for that of abating or at least dis.
couraging a public nuisance. There
can be no question that many Of the
signs in question are offensive tc
good taste. Especially along the
lines of railroads, the vision from the
car window is polychrome night
mare.

COMMERCIAL CLUB BACKS
LAND CLEARING PROJECT
SCOUTS WIN AT ASHLAND
Defeat Old Rivals on Their Own
Floor.

|
Last Monday night the Scouts wen
to Ashland and defeated the Midgets
of that city, by the score of IL to 8
on the High School floor. The Mid
gets and the Scouts are great rivals
both teams being equally matched il
weight, and not far apart in genera
ability and knowledge of the game
Last year, in two games that were
played, each team won on it's home
floor, the Midgets apparently having
a slight advantage over the Wash
burn team. This year the Scouts
won the game in Washburn by the
score of 8 to 5, and they went over
to Ashland Monday night determined
to bust up the jinx that has stood in
their way every time they have play
ed game in Ashland.
There was some uneasiness among
the boys as to the kind of treatment
they were going to run into when
they got to Ashland, as some times
hailing from across the bay seem to
be little deficient in good sports
manship. Any such fears were en-
tirely ungrounded, however, as the
Midgets showed fine spirit; the
referee was thoroughly impartial,
and kept things we'll in hand all the
way; and the Ashland boys took their
defeat in good part, and shook hands
all around after the game.
The Scouts scored the first field
goal, which the Midgets shortly du-
plicated; then Haglund scored on
a free throw, and from that point
on, the Scouts were never headed.
The game was characterized by close
guarding on the part of both teams,
but the Scouts did their guarding in
the middle of the floor, Alton and
Morgan taking care of it; while the
Midgets were forced to fight hard un-
der their own basket, and that's al
ways dangerous situation when
Scoop Haglund is playing. 1t takes
two men and ball and chain to
keep Scoop quiet for any great
length of time.
To the spectators, the game looked
little bit slower than would or
dinarily be expected from two such
fast teams, but this was due to the
caution which both SIDES used. The
Ashland boys used all five men in
defense most Of the time, and Hag-
lund, Alton and Morgan put in a
good nights work penetrating it.
Cease and Shoresman played their
positions carefully, and refused to be
drawn Qua, so the Midget attack
generally ran foul of something be-
fore it could accomplish much.
The first half ended with the score
standing to 8 i'm favor of the Scouts
In the second half the Midgets ap-
pointed a committee to attend to
Haglund, and the hard-working
Scout captain had plenty of human
companionship during The rest of
the game. He got away once for a
field goal, however, and was dead
on free throws, so that the Scouts
were never in danger.
Geesa played fine game for Ash
land, working well with his team
mates, and getting two beautiful fed
goals from the middle of the floor, in
the last half. Stemm was always
dangerous, and got away twice for
twin counters. The Scouts played
their usual clean game, however, and
the Midgets had only one chance to
profit by free throw.

swENHART GOES TO MADISON

Professor Swenhart, who has been
stationed at Bayfield,, doing expert
mental work for the agricultural di-
vision of the University of Wiscon-
sin, including the preparation of the
INT to make it suitable for land
clearing, is to be moved to Madison
where he will have charge of the
school for developing field men for
Northern Wisconsin in connection
with the big land clearing campaign
which will be pushed by every coun-
ty in Northern Wisconsin this sum-
mer. Professor Swenhart is an ex-
pert and will be invaluable as a
teacher of those who take up this
work. There are many counties in the
Northern part of the state which at
present have no one to handle their
land clearing campaigns. Ashland
county is one of these. When COM
petent men are secured and drilled
at the field school, they will be ex-
perts.
Bayfield, County and also Northern
Wisconsin will lose by losing Profess
sor Swenhart but the state at large
will gain and Northern Wisconsin wiz
have another real booster at the seat
of government.

Chapter 8.
THEIR PLANS

The commencement went of as all
such affairs do. 1t was a matter OF
proud interest to the family and
friends of the graduating class and a
matter of intense excitement to the
girls and boys who took part in the
exercises and who received their di-
plomas. To the rest of the audience
the whole thing was probably rather
a bore.
To Ruth O'Neil, however, the whole
day was an all too brief period of I'M
alleged joy, for Ruth was the winner
OF the great prize of the school--a
hundred dollar bill which was given to
the one boy or girl whose scholarship
showed the greatest promise. There
were other and lesser prizes, but this
one had inspired pupils of the Marke-
town High School to burn up any
amount of midnight oil. 1t was sup
posed to help defray the winners ex-
penses at college, but actually it had
given and no one knew exactly until
the graduation day itself who was to
receive it.
So there it was in Ruth's hand
the greatest honor that had ever come
to her, the largest amount of money
she had ever seen. Myra, whose con-
science still hurt her little because
of the incident with Finn, was the first
to congratulate Ruth when the cere-
monies were over.
Pm so glad you got it," she said.
81 knew you would, for no one else in
the class deserved it as much as
you"
Ruth said nothing, but kissed her
even more for what she considered
Myra's great unselfishness.
Then after the exercises" were
over, there was a general scattering
for dinner-and meeting again in the
school assembly room, where the
Graduation Dance was to take place
This large room bore as little re
semblance to the hall where the pupils
had gathered for many years as the
hands of willing workers could make
it. Red, white and blue bunting was
everywhere, flags had been borrowed
from every home and great jars OF
June flowers made the whole place as
gay and festive as anyone could wish
To Ruth and Mvra, charmingly unsO
phisticated products Of the small
town, no hall had ever been so mag
nificent.
eff it weren't for you I shouldn't
have any partner tonight Myra said
AS the two girls met once more in the
dressing room-for ordinary occasions
the French teachers classroom.
Myra by this time was feeling quite
yirtuous for having released Tim.
Il shouldn't think you'd mind. since
you have such a lovely dress" Rutl
answered, thinking she was consoling
