.SQUAWSDENAND
THEIR rights

Indian women of the Penobscot
tribe in Maine recently went on the
war path to obtain a vote in the tribal
elections and share in the conduct, of
reservation affairs. Their efforts
were successful, for the state attorney
decided they could go as far in the
matter as the tribe allowed and the
state would remain neutral.

The Wood County National Bank
building has been undergoing a re-
decoration on the inside and is now
being painted on the outside. F. S.
Gill & Sons workmen have been busy
for several weeks doing the work. The
entire building now looks just as good
as when it was first erected. The
decorators are certainly entitled tc
great credit for the artistic work ac-
complished.

Relief Needed at University.

in the matter of buildings, the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin is in the same
situation as the country at large-des-
perately short of housing facilities It's
situation is worse, however, because
the population of the university has
been growing faster than the popula-
ton of the country and because no new
appropriation for building of any size
has been granted TO the university
since 1913" This Is the situation as
explained by Business Manager II. J..
Thorkelson.

Farmers Suffer From High Taxes.


In numerous places over the state
agricultural lands lie within city or
village limits, often greatly to the cost
of their owners, who thus are obliged
to pay taxes at the high city or vii
lage rate rather than the lower rural
rate; and now, once annexed, there
is no practicable method of withdraw
al from the expensive alliance. How
ever, if the senate validates bill
passed by the assembly, this situations
will be changed. 1t is bill No. 345, in
trOduced by ASSemblyInan l.. l.. Pier
ron of OZaukee county and cham
piOned with winning ealnestneSs and
stout facts by its author, who was
strongly opposed, not by country mem
bers but by those with strong allegi-
ance for city or village. Mr.. PierrOn
succeeded in reviving the measure after
ii had been rejected by the strong ma
jOrity of 80 to 80 During the process
of running debate that fatal vote
was recOnsidered, 45 to SO, the bill
then again saved from indefinite post
pOnement, 81 to %, and finally passed
by the majority of 4S to 3D. Now it
goes to the senate for action. MANY
farmers are suffering from oppressive
taxation as a result of finding them
selves within city or village bounda-
ries," says Mr.. Pierron. Growth Of
city OF village may be in the opposite
direction, leaving them no advantage
whatever, only high taxes. They
should have an avenue of escape, and
this bill establishes one"

REALTY DEALER

SUPPORTER
OF PRUNE
ASSOCIATION
From California San Jose Mercury

From California San Jose Mercury
Herald
+. }. Akey, of the real estate firm of
Akey & Skaggs, yesterday came for
ward as an enthusiastic booster for
he California Prune and Apricot Grow
ers, me-, and gave an example from
his own business experience show
ing his faith in the association and
its ability to keep the industry pros
porous.
Mr.. Akey, who stated that he also
voiced the sentiments of his partner,
o. NJ. Skaggs, said:
II can think of no more vivid wav
OF making the prune and apricot grow
ers understand the faith which the
business men have in the value of the
California Prune and Apricot Groy-
ers, Inc, than to use the example
which came up in the conducting of our
own business few days ago.
eve had listed for sale fine 40
acre prune orchard located in one
of the very best producing districts
Of the Santa Clara valley which the
owner had ordered us to sell and
entered price it should bring as he
was IN need of ready money at once
and was willing to take even a frac-
lion of what the place was worth
in order to receive cash.
Finance Deal.
LAS we were unable to find an
immediate buyer for his place our
firm arranged to finance the deal
ourselves and have bought the place
from our client at a fair price to him.
eve never would have considered
purchasing this orchard if we had
thought for a moment that the Cali
fornia Prune and Apricot Growers,
Inc, would go out of existence, be-
cause our sole idea in obtaining
possession of this fine orchard was
70 hold it with the expectation that
rs soon as it was made certain that
the California Prune and Apricot
Grower, Inc, would remain in bust
ness that land values would steady
themselves and we would be able to
resell at a fair profit to ourselves.
"If any word l can cay will infu-
ence the prune and apricot growers
to rally to the support of their as
sociation would be glad to add my
voice to the many who are daily
endorsing the California Prune and
Apricot Growers, Inc.
every grower should realize that
he must sign his new association
contract without delay in order to
make certain the continued existence
of the association which alone can
save him the prosperity which he
has enjoyed since its organization
four years ago"

Tax Boosting Bill Held Up.

The Dahl tax boosting bill is headed
for the finance committee, where it
will remain until the legislature de er,
mines whether or not it will make good
its economy pledge, or weaken before
the drive for increased appropriations
which, if granted. will mean higher
taxes. The assembly voted, 80 to 46,
not to reconsider the vote by which it
engrossed the Dahl measure and this
takes the bill back to the finance com
mittee, where other tax-increasing pro,
posals are reposing in pigeon holes
awaiting some positive decision on the
question.
