GOLDEN BELT AGAIN APPLIES
Third Request for Permission to
Operate is Made

Another hearing on the application
of the Golden Belt Railroad Co., so
far "a paper railroad, for permission
to construct and operate a railroad
from Great Bend to Hays, was filed
with the Kansas public utilities com
mission yesterday.
The same application has been
turned down three times by the inter
state commerce commission, and once
by the state commission. marry
Freese, secretary Of the proposed
railroad, in a letter to the Kansas
commission, urges that the conditions
are now such that Western Kansas is
IN imperative need of such a road,
and that he expects the permit to be
granted this time.-Topeka Daily

Then comes the wing walkers, men
who have no fear, men who delight in
facing death and live only to take
another chance on the morrow; men
who laugh when asked if they are
never afraid and say they take no
chances hut know they are liars when
they say It. Each will do his best to
out-perfOrm the others; to take
chances with greater odds against
him; to do things that are seemingly
impossible and would be if the Lord
did not have a good hold on his collar.
People wonder why they do such
things. Nobody knows, some say IN
lucky love affairs. They, themselves,
do not know or will not admit it, but
the real reason must be in the desire
of man to do something with greater
skill than his competitor; a desire that
IS within the heart of every man
alive. It is not money, for expenses
are enormous and always eat up the
profits quickly. Nobody knows, few
seem to care.

STAGE COACH STATESMAN
SHIP

''What Europe needed after the
war;" Senator Borah says, "was
unity. What it got was dismember-
ment. The Treaty of Versailles
carved Europe up into fragments in
capable of economic self support"
The diagnosis is correct. AS DR..
H. H. Powers pointed out in a not
able article printed in The Star after
the negotiation of the treaty, for five
hundred years Europe had been
undergoing a process of indignation.
The war and the treaty had produced
disintegration and in a way had IN
done the work of centuries.
What would happen to the United
States if each state, almost each
county were a separate country each
with tariff barriers against the rest.
each jealous of its neighbor, each
maintaining an army? Industry,
trade, progress would be impossible.
The small nations of Europe, as H.
G. Wells has said, are the product of
the stage coach. They represent the
commercial territory that could con-
veniently be covered in the days of
horse transportation. They are a
complete misfit in the age of steam
and electricity.
Yet in the stage coach centuries,
when each community was self-sup-
porting and the modern system of
specialized industry had not yet
arisen, these little states developed
their own dialects, their own spirit of
nationality, their own intense nation
al life.
Railroads and telegraphs and the
needs of modern production had tend
ed to break down the barriers. A
whole group of little states had been
welded into the German empire.
Other states had become part of Rus
STA. The Italian kingdom was the re-
suit of consolidation Austro-Hungary
held together peoples who would have
been glad to fly at each others
throats.
, Then came the war, and part Of
the structure so painfully built up
crumbled. National spirit was in
tensified, national animosities were
fired into brisk flame. The vision
aries, led by President Wilson, con-
tributed to the confusion by stress
ing the God-given right of small peo-
piles to self-determination. There is
no such right to anything that is de-
structive of human welfare.
The peace set up large number
of new states to interrupt commerce
and menace the peace of the world.
It became impossible to ship goods
across Europe without interminable
changing of cars, payment of duties
and delays. The clock was turned
back toward stage coach days.
What is needed today in Europe
is economic unity and political fed
Grafton. But statesmen are still
provincial and narrow in their out
look. Their policies belong to the
era of the hand loom and the coach
and four.
Where is the leader on that torn
continent who realizes the impica-
tons of modern industry and the new
age?-K. C. Star.

REJECTS COMMISSION FORM

AT special election held last Tues
day the city of Rice Lake rejected
the commission form of government
by vote of 500 to 407.
Rice Lake has operated under the
commission form since 1912. The
Rice Lake Times, which has been bit
terly opposed to the commission form,
makes the following comment, in part:
.'Tax receipts then (1912) showed
that we paid about $3.50 tax on each
500 assessed valuation, not counting
the special assessments for sewers
and paving. This years tax receipt
shows that we are now paying s4.64
per $780,"
ut is never the form of govern
ment' that matters much" continues
Brother Campbell, sit is the men we
elect. :" Other cities as large
or larger than Rice Lake are using the
aldermanic form of government sue
cessfuly at much. less cost than e
have been paying for the commission.

UP ANOTHER NOTCH

In the Normal conference game
here last Friday evening River Falls
continued its string of victories by de-
feating Superior Normal "a to 20.
sFise locals played whirlwind game
in the first half and had the Upstat-
ers completely bewildered. This
round ended Ia to in favor of River
Falls. Claflin was hurt and did not
resume play in the second period.
I The last half was much slower, and
Superior closed up the gap somewhat
by tossing some long shots. The locals
held a three or four point lead
throughout, but were unable to gain
any further advantage, the game end
ing with the visitors but four points
behind.
Tomorrow evenings game at ia
Crosse will probably be the deciding
contest of the conference.

w. MARTELL STORE BURNS

The West Martell store, owned by
H. E. Sheldrew & Son, and located a
mile and half east of Gertrude, was
totally destroyed by fire about $3.50
Sunday evening. The fire is said to
have started from a defective Chin
ney. Both the building and the stock
Of general merchandise were fairly
well covered by Insurance..
The store was opened by the Shell
drews about ten months ago, and was
in charge Of Mr.. Henry Sheldrew, who
resided in the house just west of the
store. The fact that there was west
wind that evening saved the flames
from spreading to the house.
The building was formerly used as
a creamery by the West Martell
Creamery Co., and was operated by
that concern up to year ago last fall.
The Sheldrews have not announced
as yet whether or not they plan to
rebuild

of the Normal school collection has
just been hung in the corridor of the
Junior High School. This is copy
in color, of "The Student" by Rem

subject, the richness of its coloring
and the wealth of detail makes it an

viii Help Render
Income Tax Returns

Hon. A. H. Wilkinson, collector Of
Internal Revenue for Wisconsin, has
completed arrangements whereby a
large number Of revenue officers will
be located at different important CEN
tiers throughout the State for the pur-
pose of giving advice and assistance
to the citizens, partnerships and cor
porations in preparing their income
tax returns for the year Of 1921. This
service to the people will be entirely
free Of charge, and it is hoped that
everyone in need of advice or assis-
lance will avail themselves OF the OPP
portunity presented.
The revenue officers appointed for
this work will begin on or about Feb
ruary goth, and the dates and places
where they may be found will be an
nounced in the local press.
The rendering Of correct income
tax return is matter Of great impor-
lance and some difficulty, and Collec-
tor Wilkinson advises that on all
doubtful questions the taxpayer
should consult with the officer in his
locality in order that subsequent in
vestigations Of income tax returns
may be unnecessary.
The income tax returns generally
must be filed not later than March
18th, and the law provides that where
this is not done the tax due is in
creased by $3.50, consequently it is
for the interest of everyone to see
that their return is rendered not lat
err than that date, and as much earlier
as possible in order to avoid the rush
of the last few days prior to March
18th.

NEW BOOKS AT REST ROOM

One hundred new books from the
Wisconsin Travelling Library have ar
rived this week at the Rest Rooms
free library, in the City Hall. Thirty
more are expected within a few days
This brings the Rest Room library's
total up to $50 books.
This library has been greatly APP
preciated by people of the city as well
as those from the surrounding COM
munities, fact that is shown in the
record of loans. Over 1000 books
are loaned from this little library in
a year.
1t has been found that many book
lovers in this community were un.
aware that this service is available
here. Those who are not familiar
with it will find ii to their advantage
to visit the Rest Room library and
learn of the excellent choice which it
affords.
