TO LECTURE
AT ASHLAND
PEACE CONFERENCE REP
RESENTATIVE WILL TALK
Will Appear at the Presbyterian
Church at Ashland, Friday
Evening at Eight O'Clock.

Northern Wisconsin people are 60
ing to have an opportunity to hear a
great lecture on the Disarmament
question, Friday evening, Feb. 17th,
at the Presbyterian church at Ash
land, when Hamilton Holt, member
of the Peace Conference at Versailles
and also of the Disarmament Con-
ference at Washington, will deliver
a lecture on disarmament.
Mr.. Holt comes to Ashland under
the auspices of Northland College.
He is the editor of the Independent
Magazine and perhaps one of the best
versed men in the country on the dis
armament question.
1t is indeed too bad that the snow
storm will prevent many from hearing
this great lecturer when he comes to
Ashland.

PEARCE TONlKINS CITES REASONS
FOR HIGH TAXES

Nothing is to be gained by COM
pairing our taxes with those of
Southern Wisconsin. Each district
and county must look to it's own
expenditures.
You will find by studying the table
accompanying to what branch of
government your tax money goes.
The state of Wisconsin takes seven
per cent or $5O,327 out of the total
for the county of $719,338. The
state shares in 1920 was approx
imately the same, while it returned
in various aids $72,394. The coun-
ties share is twenty six per cent or
S187,735. Study your cot1nty budget
You will find the reasons4for increas-
ed county taxes,-we have forced
more and new functions upon the
county,-roads, county training
schools, mothers pensions, tuber-
culosis sanatoriums and various other
things. All the increase has come
from our own demand-the question
which must be met is, Are we living
beyond our means? II this is the
ease,-economy must begin at home,
where $3.50 of all taxes raised in
Bayfield, county is spe:t. The 10
cal district where sixty eight per
cent is used is the starting point
the date April 4th, 1922. Those
charged with town, village and city
and county expenditures are elected
on that date. The principal appro-
priations in the towns are made
at that time. Compare your expenses
with the other districts in Bay
field County. Why does Barksdale
only use ten per cent for local govern
ment and Namekagon forty-i per
cent? Why does Lincoln use only
twenty-four per cent for its schools,
while Pilsen ffty-six per cent?
Do not blame the so called bench
warmers at Madison, the much
maligned assessor, your county board
nor your school or town board, they
have been supplying to large de-
gree upon our demands. Meet the
situation in an open-minded manner,
demand retrenchment, ECONOMY and
efficieneyr-snd- owss-s-taxes~~~wil be
your reward.

Water Works Question
Is Again Up For Vote
COUNCIL PASSED RESOLU-
TION AT LAST MEETING
The Question of Purchase of
One Utility Receives Unani-
nous Vote of the Council.
Other business.

For the fourth time the voters OF
Washburn are going to be given an
opportunity to decide whether or not
they desire to purchase the plant of
the Washburn Water Works Company
On three other occasions they have
voted in the affirmative on this ques
tion, and they are now going to be
given fourth opportunity to decide
this question. About all they have
gotten so far is the expense of going
through an election and the payment
of attorney fees.
A resolution providing for the pur-
chase of one utility was presented to
the Council Tuesday evening with the
approval of te Mayor and was passed
unanimously by the council, and the
question will be submitted to vote
of the people at the April election.
Among other business transacted
by the Council was the declaring of
the office of Police Justice vacant and
electing George F. Morgan to the
position. Aug. F. Hoffman, has
held this position, but it was ruled
that he could not hold this office and
that of Justice of the Peace, and the
Council saw fit to declare the Office
vacant.
The wages of street employees was
cut to $2.50 per day for eight hours
work.
A le - f~rl former school super
intendent c. E. Hulteen was read, in
which he offered to compromise his
suit for salary against the city by
settlement in the sum of $25oO. The
matter was referred to the Mayor and.
City Attorney Fisher, of Bayfield,.

portunity to spend delightful even
ing of wholesome entertainment at a
gery small cost.

If weather should be too disagree
able on the 28th the trip will be Civ.

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-02-23

There is an old saying that two
things are certain in this life, death
and taxes" BY careful living we
may stave off even approaching death
but that taxes must be paid before
March first is inevitable.
We complain and protest that taxes
are too high, that the farmer will
be driven from the soil, that the
income tax will drive business from
Wisconsin. We charge that state
government is the sole cause of high
taxes, that the county board is to
blame, that school expenditures are
too high, invariably the fault is
elsewhere. If we are to have relief
it must come after systematic con-
sideration and careful study of our
various governmental activities,
state, county, local and schools.
No one branch of government is
to blame. High taxes are due to
the public demand for more and bet
ter things in government. AS a
people we are better interested in
efficiency and economy, unfortunate
ly economical governments are not
always the most popular. What
may appear to be an economical adj
ministration, with a low tax rate,
may in the end prove to be expensive.
Needed public improvements and ne
cessary upkeep and maintenance may
have been neglected. Sinking funds
established for future use may have
to be prematurely used in an effort
to make good showing. To ap-
preciate ~and meet such situations
the public must inform itself. Poor
governments develope from disin-
terested citizenship.
Taxes in Wisconsin are no higher
than in the sister states adjoining.
Taxes in northern Wisconsin are high
er than in Southern for simply one
reason-we spend more money. 1t
is not hard to understand that if a
district in Northern Wisconsin, with
an assessed valuation of $1,000,000,
spends $4,000, it's tax rate will be
three per cent, while a district in
Southern Wisconsin. spending like
amount on valuation of $3,000,000
will have a tax rate of one percent.

EXTEND TAX
Time AGAIN
TAXES CAN BE PAID WITH
OUT PENALTY TO MAR. l
Action Taken at the Meeting Of
the Council Held on Tuesday
Night. Treasurer Asked to
Enforce Collection.

Taxes in he city of Washburn may
be paid without penalty UP to and
including March 1st, according to a
motion passed by the City Council at
a meeting held on Tuesday evening of
this week. At a previous meeting of
the Council the time for paying with
out additional penalty was set at
Feb. Goth, but the Council thought it
advisable to extend the time to March
1st, and this was done Tuesday night.
The Council also passed a motion
instructing the Treasurer to proceed
by law in the collection of personal
and real estate taxes which are not
paid to the city.
City Treasurer, S. I. Haugen has
been putting forth strenuous efforts to
collect the taxes and, despite the fl
nancial condition, has been making
good progress. People are urged to
pay their taxes before the return of
the delinquent roll in order TO assist
the city,
Has it ever occurred to you that
Washburn has three practicing attor-
neys, yet the City Council finds it
necessary to employ outside counsel
and go to Bayfield, and have an at
torney from there represent Wash
burn as acting City Attorney, thus
sending money out of Washburn.
Washburn money spent outside does
not add to the prosperity of Wash
burn.

MILK PRICES
COME DOWN
GENERAL SLASH IN PRICES
EFFECTIVE MONDAY
Prevailing Price for Delivered
Product Is Now SC Per Quart.
Feed Prices Show Slight Ad-
vance.

The price of milk and cream de-
livered in Washburn took a decided
slump on Mondaysof@ @this week when
practically all of the large milk deal
ers reduced the price of milk to &c per
quart, delivered to any part of the
city. This is considerable of a re-
duction over the prices of year ago
which averaged 13c per quart.
The reduced price came in the face
of slight advance in feed prices, but
is likely to be maintained. Washburn
milk users are now getting milk and
cream at as low a price as is to be
found anywhere in the country.

Northern Wisconsin Digging
Itself Out of Snow Banks
WORST STORM IN MORE
THAN QUARTER CENTURY
Train Service Tied Completely
Up for Several Days-Trains
Not Expected to Arrive Until
Last of Week. u

Northern Wisconsin started the
work Of digging itself out of the snow
drifts on Thursday afternoon of this
week, following one of the worst
billiards that has visited this section
in more than quarter of century,
and even the oldest inhabitant fails
to remember a storm that equaled,.
in severity, the one of the past two
days.
The storm broke in all it's fury on
Tuesday afternoon and continued
without abatement until Thursday
noon, when the sky began to clear
and the snow and wind subsided. 1t
was not until then that the extent of
the storm could be seen, for during
the two days only those who had to
venture out of doors dared to brave
the weather.
Business was a complete standstill
from Wednesday morning until
Thursday noon, train service was tied
up completely, and many of the stores
in the city closed their doors during
the two days because trading was
impossible. Farmers who supply the
city with milk and cream were unable
to get through and milk famine was
threatened, and it will probably be
days and possibly weeks before the
roads into the country are opened up.
The tying up of railroad traffic was
complete. The storm was general
over Northern Wisconsin and trains
became stalled everywhere and every
available man was out at work clear
ing the tracks Of snow. An attempt
was made to run train to Barksdale
Wednesday morning, but had to be
abandoned and there was no more traf-
fc on the Omaha branch between
Washburn and Ashland during the
next two days. Advices this after
noon are to the effect that engines
and plows and men have started
north from Spooner and will likely
get through to Washburn some time
tomorrow, but this is only a guess,
on the extent of the storm.
The storm came from the northeast :
and was driven by raging gale
which piled up drifts from four to
eight feet deep. The only means of
travel was by ski or snowshoe, and
even then travel was difficult on ac-
count of the drifts. The task of
clearing the streets of snow is Offer
ing Street Commissioner Joe Arsen-'
eau a problem, for the plow which
has done such efficient service in the
past is practically useless and men
will have to shovel out the streets. (.
The country is the. hardest hit.
Roads are so badly blocked that teams
are unable to plow through and the
cost of removing the snow is so great
that town boards fear to face the Y
problem. Farmers are being urged
to offer their services in opening up
the roads and this cooperative plan
will likely be worked out, as a means
of relieving the condition.
It was the worst storm that has
ever visited this section and it will /
go down in history as a record
breaker.

POSTPONED

The Father & Son banquet which
was scheduled for the Methodist
church on Friday evening of this
week, has been postponed on account
of the storm until some future date.
