JOKERS AND GOATS.

AT Barneveld, this county, voters
and tax payers league has been or
ganized, and claim to be composed of
/ four hundred farmers and business
men of that section. AT a meeting of
that association, recently held. It was
decided that there was a Joker" in
the present state trunk highway law, to
the effect that farmers are compelled to
bear the heavier portion of the burden in
the construction of such highways, con
tending that traffic thereon is go
per cent foreign; that So per cent
of the farmers of this state do not
live near enough to any state highway
to receive any benefit az a marketing
highway: that villages and cities depend
on the farmer to keep up the thousands
of miles of highway which is so essen
tisl to their business interests; that the
farmers are the goats. etc,
Granting they may be right, we as a
publisher wish to insert a wedge labeled.
1.-TWO injustices do not make right.
The officers and exective committee Of
this strong association. seventeen in
all, are worth, at what we believe to
be a fairly low estimate, $500, coo; that
is collectively. Not one one OF them is
a subscriber of this paper, but they
come to US for the publication of six
'whereases" and three therefore re-
solves" to show the injustice of the
high~ay tax law because of its SEEM
ing be imposition to them,
As we say, granting they may be
right, that their contentious are full
of good meat, is not their request for
the publication of their three pages Of
whereases and resolves, free of charge,
as much on the joker and goat order.
insofar as the publisher is concerned.
as is the highway tax law on the farmer2
We feel confident that these gentlemen
are as we'll and little better able to
pay the highway tax required of them by
the law as are we to furnish type, pay
for setting it up and invest in paper on
which to print what they expect of
US for nothing. Isn't there Joker in
this too, and doesn't it put US in the
goat class with them

THE PARTY OF THE SEASON,

AS has been the case for fifty years
to the knowledge of the writer, the
Masonic annual party has been the
prominent social event of the season.
That held Tuesday evening was no ex-
ception. 1t is questionable If there
ever was a larger attendance. Five
hundred. perhaps more. partook OF the
rich spread, and for all that, there
enough and some to spare.
After supper the throng packed it.
self INTO the main room and enjoyed to
the full for an hour or moro the rare
entertainment of vocal and instrument
al music furnished by the White
Hussars. Following this came the OPP
portunity to "trip the light fantastic
toe" to music by the Hussars, and
those who did not join therein were
comparatively few.

Saturday evening last. about 5
o'clock, as George Looney, who was
employed on the Henry GRADER farm,
was driving a four mule team hauling
large load of shelled corn from Gala
mine through Matt Steffes' field, a
short cut to the GRADER farm, some
thing happened to the wagon.brake
while going down a steep grade. This
let the load onto the neck yoke with a
rush, as it is supposed, and almost in
stantly there was tipover. Looney
was caught under the load, and 70

crushed that he died about / o'clock
Sunday morning. He was native OF

A Delightful January.

If shis publication is to serve as a
histo1eal record Of this community as
well u 4 reporter Of current events. it
is net fssary thai we record the weather
OF Janeary, 1921, particularly since il
has been most unusual. Except for
two or three days about the middle of
month, thermometers seldom registered
as low as twenty above zero. and many
were the days and nights without a
freezing temperature. No snow,
excepting furry or two amounting to
to about an inch at time, following
which would be weather warm enough
to dispel the same; hence, no sleighing.
Eros. had previously got into the
ground but the daytime warmth would
cause muddy roads. and the chilling at
night would stiffen them to rough
ness. so we had mundy and rough roads
practically througout the month To
the writer it has been reported that
some robins, blue birds and wild duck
had ventured this far north. All in all,
it was like well behaved April, and
many were the days when our people
were out in force taking advantage of
the sun and ozone.
Such break in winter weather does
much to shorten the season and renew
interest in the glorious Wisconsin days
soon to be with US again.

MR.. FEEDERS LOGICAL PROTEST.

There's hen on to squeeze an
other so cents out of each automobile
owner by way of taxation. MIR, E. C.
Fielder makes logical protest, and at
the same time discloses what looks very
much like protiteering scheme, in his
letter to our assemblyman. The letter
is to the point and reads as follows:
Mineral Point, Wis, Jan. %. 1921,
Hon. W. Smith,
Assembly Chamber, Madison. Wis.
Dear Sir II understand that a bill is
about to be introduced in the Senate
requiring every owner of an automobile
to have his car registered with the Reg
lister of Deeds in his county and pay
fee Of so cents before he can transfer
his car or get a license for it. This
means that every owner of car must
contribute so cents to the Register Of
Deeds in the county wherein he resides,
and that every person selling automo-
biles must contribute so cents on each
car that he sells.
! have positive proof that the bin is
being pushed by the Registers Of Deeds
I in Wisconsin. have before me a let
ter written by one Register of Deeds
in which he says, 1T is bill that looks
good to me. "
Efforts are being made by the Regis
tiers to get people to sign letters and
send them to their representatives., and
particularly to Senator Burke. These
letters are not prepared by the persons
whose names are subscribed. but are
prepared in advance by Registers of
Deeds
This bill means not only needless ex-
pense TO the owners Of automobiles, but
it means expense TO the state in pre-
pairing certificates of registration which
requires description of every owner.
including his name. residence, age, sex.
height, weight. color of hair, eyes, etc.
AS a citizen. urge you to oppose
this bill What we need in Wisconsin
as well as in the nation is less tax, and
less red tape. The people of this
country have gone through eight Of the
most extravagant years in govern
mental expense in the history of the
country. They registered their disap-
prevail at the last election. am sure
you will recognize the viciousness OF
the bill requiring every automobile
owner to contribute 80 cents to the
salary Of a Register of Deeds.
Sincerely yours,
r.. G.. FIEDLER.

The ancient free city of Venice In
Italy was founded in the 9Th century
by refugees from the lands, laid waste
by Atilla's invasion. While nominaily
under the Roman government, the CITY
in local matters long was democracy,
her tribunes, elected by the people ana
directly responsible to the people Tor
their office were ever solicitous for
tho public welfare. Under this govern,
ment Venice. situateo on lagoons ana
marsh lands OF the upper Adriatic
Sea grew to greatness.
Later, however, Venice adopted the
ducal style OF city government ana
thereafter at the head of the city was
a duke or "doge" whose throne was
supported by the civil nobility. says
the historian Redpath 1.-THE conditions
for an oligarchy were then present IN
Venice and it was not long until the
balefuI tendency to concentrate the
power in the hands OF an arlstocracy
was on"
The fall of the free city of Venice OF
the long ago, from a genuine democ,
Tracy to an oppressive oligarchy ruieo
by a Doge, with secret advisers ana
councillors, has proven for all future
times the heresy of ONE-MAN
CITY GOVERNMENT. History warps
our city TO VOTE AGAINST THE
FALLACY OF A CITY MANAGER, a
one-man rule.
Pueblo with City Manager may
not be exactly like Venice of the mid
die ages ruled by a doge with barons
as unofficial advisers. Do we not now

honor No such tribute was ever
before paid to an American cler-
gyman. The note Of the whole
proceeding was that Of love and
admiration for moral leader
whose life had been devoted to
the good of mankind.
In this long life the moral val
ues are so large that the usual
statistics of growth and increase
seem secondary, and yet the fig
.ures show the astonishing ex-
pansion of the Catholic Church
not only in members and mater
ial resources, but in the multiple
cation Of activities that touched
every part OF the common vel
fare. In his active encourage
ment and often his leadership of
these many enterprises Cardinal
Gibbons did work that seems al
most beyond one mans accom-
plishment, and it was only a part
Of the record. 1t is not eulogy
or undue credit, but plain fact
that this record is unique, and no
one can even estimate the sum
total of genuine good to others
that has conn from this one life.
II heightens and blesses and
sanctities the universal sorrow
that seeks expression today:
The Cardinal was a man OF
deep and abiding conviction in
his public as well as church
opinions. He had a deep vision
which took in the whole and did
not become warped by the par
ticular. He possessed a clear
and sound line of reasoning,
hence the logic of his reasons
for his views on all public ques
tons could readily be graspeC
and appreciated. While he was
decided in his views he never
took a narrow view of any propo
sition. He was never an ex
tremist nor radical in any of his
Opinions. He was opposed to tht
election of United States Sen
ators by popular vote, to the re
call of judges, prohibition anC
other public matters which time
has demonstrated are unwise
and a mistake. His reasons Civ
en- at the time when these propo
sitions were foremost in the pub
lie mind cannot but now be ad
mitted as right.
The Cardinal had many per
sonal friends and admirers il
this county who join the millions
OF American people in mourning
his death.
