Normal Taxes to be Assess
ed Against Individuals
to Show Reduction.
MANY OFF THE LIST
Depressed Conditions of 1921
Reflected in Report on In
dividual Income Taxes.

The final report of the assessor Of
incomes of the income taxes assessed
against individuals in Kenosha county
has been filed with County Clerk Hol-
derness and today the clerk and his
assistants are busy getting the long
list ready for transfer to the various
town clerks and the city clerk. No
final computation of the total amount
of the individual income tax is avail
able but an examination of the roll in
dictates that the total will be consid-
erably less than the $149,210.73 col
lected as this tax last year The big
falling off in> the amount is represent
ative of the depressed condition of
business in Kenosha in the year 1921
and while it is not reflected to such
an extent in the individual as in the
corporation returns for falling off is.
expected to be somewhere in the neigh
borhoOd of twenty per cent and it may
be greater. There is a considerable
reduction in the number of individual
returns for income taxes. Last year
there were more than ten thousand
names on the roll for Kenosha county
and it is not expected that the roll for
this year will show more than 1900
names. Many of the large incomes
due to dividends on stocks in local
companies have been greatly reduced
in the returns this year.
There is a slight ray of hope that
the income tax will produce some
money for the city and county on ac-
count of the fact that the state tax
commission has added some assess-
ments for former years. There is
about a hundred additional" assess
ments on the toll this year and some
of these run into considerable sums
of money. The taxes are assessed for
the years from 1915 down to 1919 and
they have been added to the roll by
Investigations made. In many of the
cases the amounts levied are only a
few dollars and in some cases only a
few cents and the levy of the addition
al tax has been made on account of
the fact that the individual so taxed
refused to make any return OF his or
her income.
For the most part these additional
taxes are assessed against the earners
of small salaries in Kenosha indus
tries
The final report of the assessor of
incomes to the state tax commission
is expected to be out on Tuesday and
it will give detailed statements of the
normal tax for the year and the
amounts which have been levied
through correction of returns made in
other years.

NEW CABINET MAY
BE GERMAN CHANCE
Efforts to Form Cabinet to Meet De-
sires of All Are Being Con-
tinued Today.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Berlin-Nearly a week has passed
since the cabinet Of Chancellor Wirth
resigned and the ministerial crisis is
considered to be still unsettled, When
Herr Cuno accepted the task of con-
shutting a new cabinet of work, as he
described it, it was hoped he would
have most all of the portfolios filed by
today, but such difficulties have devel-
oped that it is believed likely he may
even abandon the effort altogether.
The chancellor-designate finds him
self baked in his plans to secure a
cabinet made up of the middle and
socialist parties, as the socialists, OPP
posed to what hey term Herr Cuno's
free hand policy" have voted through
the socialist party united board, to
abstain from taking any ministerial
portfolios.

The Republican administration came
into authority in March, 1871, pledged
to put more business in government
and 20. have less of government in
business. That pledge has been lib
orally redeemed. One Of the first
hings whica tse Republican adminis-
tration did was to impress upon
business interests that 1t vas up TO
them to become self-reliant IL they
wished to become self-sustaining;
that they must begin to work out their
own salvation instead Of running to
the Government for artificial stimulus.
Legislation has been enacted wherever
it could prove helpful, but it has not
been permitted to take the place OF
individual energy and thrift.
simultaneously with the elimina.
tion of Government in business there
was an injection of business in Gov
eminent. Perhaps what will go down
as one of the greatest pieces Of con.
structive legislation Of the last half
century was the enactment Of a law
creating a Budget Bureau, which
made It not only possible but man
datory fer the first time in the his
tory of the United States Government
to conduct the Governments business
in an orderly manner 1t is largely
due to the Inauguration Of this bud
i get system that the daily operating
expenses of the Government havI
been reduced in the aggregate owe
$2.000,000 a day under this admins
trati0n.
The business interests Of the cour
try were given consideration in th
enactment OF the new tax measure

taxes were abolished altogether, an

BY rendering assistance to the agri-
cultural sections the Congress kept
alive the huying power Of over half
the nations population. This aid, al
though extended directly to agricui-
ture, was Of vital importance TO bust
nssa.
Although no act Of Congress figured
in the process, nevertheless, the In
iuences OF the Republican admins
tration. Of Which the Congress is q
part, gave such confidence TO the
business world that within a year
from the time the Republican party
took control Of all branches Of the
Government prices Of practically all
sound securities advanced materially.
The most outstanding example OF this
is the increase OF IS per cent. in the
value of SIS, OO0, 900, 900 worth of out
standing Liberty bonds.
AS another reflex Of the influence OF
the Republican administration, inter
est rates have been lowered from 7
per cent. to Az within IL months, thus
releasing money at a reasonable rate
for the use of business interests.
No one has the temerity to deny that
business conditions today, compared
with q year ago, are not infinitely bet
ter and that prospects are u~ndoubted
ly for further Improvement. There il
no other explanation for this trans
formation In the business world ex
cept the IL months application of Re
publican policies and the certain
knowledge throughout the business
r world that the influences and policies
. of the Republican Party, which vii
direct the affairs Of the nation for tn
, next two years. are constructive IN

q rather than waste, assist legitimate al
, t~ivities, stand four-sQuared for the pr
u lection of capital and labor and stan
a equally firm against the ~fallaciou

ism.
In brief, the commercial optimisI
- with which the people of all classes
u the United States face the comm
u year must be wholly attributed to til
!. fact that all branches of the Cover
n ment of the United States are now
control OF the Republican Party.
