COMMISSIONS
ARE CONDEMNED
The Present Legislature Seems
to Be Very Much in Favor of
One. Man Commissions In
stead of The Larger Bodies.

MADISON, June 6.-"You might
as well have a three headsIls g0eer.
nor or a three headed secretary Of
state as a three-headed tax commits
sion." Senator Herman Severson
told the joint finance COMMITTEES Of
the legislature Thursday in recon-
mending the favorable consideration
of bill reducing the tax commission
to single commissioner.
s.Ie the people of the state have 9
chance to vote on the question Of
continuing boards and commissions
they would abolish them all" Sen
ator Henry Reothe told the commit.
tee members in advocating the same
bill. "It was a mistake to sogeate
these boards and commissions il the
first place." continued Senator
Roche. .and it is time they should
be curtailed."
"This tax commission" added
Senator Roethe, "has been in exist
ence for twenty years and has cos
the state more than $2,000.000. Ye
the tax problem is more complicated
today than it was thirty years ago.
Senator Roethe said he would no
abolish the tax commission because
of any criticism that may have beel
directed against it but rather to con
sentrate authority and responsible!
under single head.
Governor Blaine agreed with tn
special committee that the tax com
mission should be reduced from |
multiple to a single membership,
Senator Roethe said.
Judge Charles D. Rosa, member o
the tax commission was the only on
appearing against the bill He in
terposed no serious objectlsns t.
its abolition but talked on the prob
lens confronting the members en-
the work accomplished.
"You wont save any money b.
abolishing the three commissioners,

SION, By A. j. MYRLAND,
Secretary.
CALLED BY DEATH

There is sadness in the James
Norris home and sadness among
the playmates Of Little Edith Nor
ris, whose sudden death occurred at
the st. Joseph's hospital at Ashland
last Saturday afternoon. But a
few days previous Edith had been
happy and playful girl of 12 years,
had attended picnic given by the
class Thursday afternoon. She was
suddenly taken ill or Thursday and
on Saturday it was thought est to
take her to the hospital at Ashland
form operation for appendicitis
The operation was performed as
soon as the little girl arrived at the
hospital, but it was too late, peri,
tonitis having already set in and the
| little girl died without regaining
consciousness.
| The funeral was held on Tuesday
morning from the st. Louis Catholic
church and interment was in Wood
land cemetary. FIR. Bourcki con
Quoted the services.
Little Edith Morris was an ex
Ger tionally bright girl twelve years
of age, the oldest child in the Morris
family, whose Ife was filled with
sunshine and cheer, who was atten
tive at school, who was adept a.
music, and who was always buss
doing what she could to make lif'
happy for others With all th'
promise of life before her she ha'
heard the call of her Master "Suffel
Little Children to Come Unto Nj
for of Such is the Kingdom O
Heaven"

great sadness to the family and t
her many playmates and we joil
with the many friends in extending
our heartfelt sympathy in thei
bereavement.

IN COUNTY HERDS
FEW REACTORS
DIR. Johnson Who Has Been
Testing Cows in Bayfield,
County From Which Ashland
Derives Milk Supply States
Only rs React0rs Found
Amongst Several Hundred.

DIR. Johnson, of Madison, who has
been conducting the cattle tubercu-
losis tests in the Highland Settle
ment and Eileen sections of Bayfield,
county, states the amount of re-
actors is surprisingly low.
Among several hundred head OF
cattle tested, only rs to 80 reactors
were found. But, DR.. johnson states
these cows have been gone over be-
fore, many years back, and reactors
weeded out. 1t shows great con-
fidence on the part of breeders and
that source of milk supply for the
city of Ashland is unusually free
from tuberculosis.
Other areas more remote from the
Tri-ports will be tested after the
first of July, and it is expected that
correspondingly low average will
be obtained. When the test is COM
pleted it will mean thousands of
dollars to the farmers and breeders
of Bayfield, county for the value OF
herds will be increased many fold
when the county is absolutely free
from tuberculosis. 1t also means
that cows brought into the county
at any time in the future, must be
tested and found free from tuber-
culosis before they will be allowed
a place in Bayfield, county herd

Blaine Dry bill Saves
Brew 60. Home Use
PLEASES VETS, DRYS DE-
CLARE; PROMISE FIGHT
Booze Unlawful Only if Made
For Sale, Stand of Governor.

MADISON-Gov. Blaine introduc-
ed his new prohibition enforcement
bill in both houses of the Legislature
Tuesday. The measure, which is
to take the place of the Matheson
bill vetoed by the governor, carries
out provisions of the message which
accompanied his disapproyal of the
original bill.
Home brew for home consump-
tor is saved by the bill, which does
not prohibit manufacture of intox-
icating liquor for private purposes
The same barrer is set up against
sale, however. as contained in the
Matheson bill. The search OF
dwellings is prohibited unless unlaw-
ful sale is established
Volstead Act to Rule
The Volstead act is supreme in all
cases of difference between the state
and the national enforcement meas
ure. This Interpretation saves beer
prescription in any amount by doc
tors, according to the present fed
eral statute. A section is changed
under the Matheson bill by removal
of the word "spirituous" in the Sec
ton dealing with prescription, SO
that not more than one pint OF any
kind of liquor could be prescribed
in any one ten days.
Penalty for drunkenness as well
as for illegal sale is provided under
the governors bill. The provision
limits the power of prosecuting au-
thorities to obtain evidence upon
which to base prosecution.
Bans Bars and Screens
Revocation of license is called for
unless all places with permits TO
sell lignt drinks remove all standing
bars, stalls, screens, curtains and
binds. Town borads, village boards.
or common councils have power 10
refuse licenses to- persons they deem
unfit.
The sections of the Matheson piii
dealing with recording OF prescrip-
tions and licensing of physicians and
pharmacists are practic ally retained
in the governors bill. Prescription
is limited to medicinal purposes
alone, but nc limit is placed on the
age of the person for whom liquor
may be prescribed. Only those over
81 could obtain intoxicants under
the Matheson bill.
Local Officials to Act
Similarly, all local enforcement
officers are brought into service OF
the state to enforce its measure.
Penalties remain the same as in the
Matheson bill.
Manufacture of sale of favoring
extracts fit for beverages purposes
is prohibited under the bill.

ton requesting the Secretary OF
Commerce of United States to bring
about the early consummation OF the

that by permitting lien it will be
possible to get many acres OF land
in northern Wisconsin cleared. AS

new SYSTEM
INSTALLED WRONG
STATE TAX COMMISSION
!. FINDS FAULT
Letter to l.. N. Causen, City
Clerk, Says Records Are of
Little Value to the City as
Now Installed.

The following communication was
received by City Clerk L. N. Clsu.
sen from the Wisconsin State Tas
Commission relative to city audit
made by the firm of Raglan &
Pearce, of Minneapolis recently anc
explains itself fully:
June s, 1921
To the Common Co uncil,
Washburn, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
When representatives from our
accounting department were al
Washburn last week, inspecting the
Bayfield, County financial records,
they stopped at the city clerks ofssce
to look over the accounting installa-
ton made by Raglan & Pearce OF
Minneapolis. At the time the in
stallation was made, Rsglan &
Pearce secured from this Office 9
complete set of the accounting forms
prescribed by the tax commission for
uniform municipal accounting in
Wisconsin cities.
Our accountants report that, while
the necessary forms have been pro-
vided, the accountants who attempt
ed to install them were not familiar
with the manner in which the uni
form system is operated in Wiscon-
sin. As the situation row stands,
the records in their present condi-
ton are of little value to the city.
The opening entry has not been plac-
ed upon the records, the tax roll
entry is NOT in correct form and the
system of account numbers is en-
tirely wrong.
Mr.. Smith, of our accounting de-
partment, talked this matter over
with the mayor and pointed out to
him the necessity Of getting the
accounting system Strengthened out
if the city was to receive any bene-
fit from it. Mr.. Peavey expressed
the intention of taking this matter
up with the city council with the
end in view of securing a municipal
accountant from this Office to pro-
perly reinstall the records. Upon
your request, we shall be glad to
have one of our representatives call
and take care of this work for you.
We know you appreciate that our
only interest in this matter is to
see that the City of Washburn has
proper accounting installation,
now that you have gone to the ex-
pense of providing the necessary
forms.
