Winchester, Roosevelt
Are Two New Towns
COUNTY BOARD I'M TWo-DAY SEES
SION CLEANS UP BIG CALEN-
OAR OF BUSINESS

The Villas County Board Of Super
visors held a two days session at the
court house last week and put thru
a large amount of new and unfinish
ed business, winding up the calendar
for the year 1922.
Two important new features were
the creation Of, two new towns in the
county to be hereafter known as Win
chester and Roosevelt The detach-
ment of towns 4S and fractional town
Al, North Of Range 5 was taken from
the old town Of Presque Isle will now
be the town of Winchester in which
the village by that name is located,
while Vinegar the mill village nine
miles north will be the town capitol
of the remaining town of Presque
Isle.
The town of Roosevelt was taken
from Arbor Vitae and consists of
towns ~, North of Ranges 6 and Z.
An attempt to further subdivide the
old town of Arbor Vitae by creating
a town containing Trout Lake, was
defeated although it is said to be only
a question of time when natural
causes will make a new town impera-
tive The creation of the new towns
now bring the total number of towns
in Villas county UP to fourteen, which
will make fourteen members on the
county board and the number of yot-
ing precincts sixteen, the towns of
Flambeau and Washington now hav-
ing two instead of one for the con
venience of the voters at general
elections.
Another item of business transact,
ed was the resembling OF resolution
No. 5, passed at the December meet
ing and which reduced the salary of
county superintendent from $4,000 per
annum to $1,000. BY the reconsidera-
ton the salary of that official was
placed at S15OO.OO which was presum
ably satisfactory to all concerned
The Board voted to comply with a
provision of the statutes in authoriz-
ing the district attorney a stenograph
er for two months to assist him in

RAzlNG OLD LANDMARK

Adams Bros. last week started to
take down one of the buildings on
their property which was one of the
landmarks of the town. The original
building was built nearly forty years
ago by E. Wade, for what purpose we
have been unable. to learn. Thirty-two
years ago it was purchased by A. H.
Stevens who occupied it with flour
and feed store and later a meat mar
ket was operated in it. Mr.. Stevens
enlarged the building and on one side
his daughter Miss Carrie Stevens for
a number of years kept milliner
store there. For number of years it
was utilized for a blacksmith shop by
different blacksmiths, and since the
purchase of the lot by Adams Bros.
they had used it for storage purposes
1t had become an unsightly and unsafe
relic Of early days and it's removal
will add to the appearance of Division
street, and will be further improved
when that firm replaces it with new
building which it is their intention

FELL In TIE RIVER

What might have been double
by the prompt action of Joe Collins in
resuing Paul We'll and John Eckhoff,
two five-year old boys who had brok-
en- through the ice on the river near
the power plant Collins was on the
bridge going to dinner when he heard
the boys cry out and discovered them
in the water He dashed down to the
ice and plunged in after them getting
the Eckhoff boy first and saving
young We'll just as that lad was going
under After throwing them out on to
the ice he climbed out himself and
grabbing a boy in each hand started
for shore. The combined weight of the
three was too much for the thin ice
at that point and before he had gone
many steps the three broke through
again and Collins did the rescue stunt
all over again, this time with better
success. When he had the little fell
lows safely ashore he discovered who
they were and rushed them to their
homes where first aid was applied
and in a few hours neither were the
worse for their experience. 1t was
fortunate that Joe happened along
just when he did. At the time there
was not another person in sight and
it would have been a matter of but a
very few minutes before both the
boys would have drown under the ice.
The water at that point is about six
feet deep with strong current.

Bureaucratic System is
Holding Government
TOO MANY BUREAUS SPILL THE
PUBLIC BROTH, SAYS
IRVING BUSH !.

Irving Bush writing in a recent is
sue of Golfers Weekly, comments as
follows:
UuIess we change our system of tax
alton. the opportunities for your sons
and mine are going to be less. We
shall either smash up or shrivel up.
If wou have boy and want to make
real man of him, do you tell him
you will take away half of what he
saves? Or will you encourage him to
save and take away part Of his money
if he spends Il Ioolishly? That is just
what you are saying to the young men
Of America today.
Put your taxes upon what people
spend, and not upon what they save.
Perhaps you say: Well, | don't pay
any taxes now, anyway Oh, yes, you
do. The rent you pay, the suit you
wear, everything you buy has paid
some part of the taxes of the country
Our taxes are already cutting into
our savings. They threaten to re
duce our whole standard of living
If the average taxpaying voter of
today knew how much of his money
is consumed by commissions, State
and Federal, he would be tempted to
camp on the trail and threaten with
political extinction any legislator who
dared propose another. Though the
Federal field is the more fertile for
the growth and propagation of bur-
eaus and commissions, It would be
mistake to infer that opportunities in
that way have been neglected in any
Of the forty-eight states. One midwest
ern state is said to pay $4,000 annual
ly to house it's commissions outside
the public buildings.
Whenever a new bureau or commits
sion is proposed the fact should be
noted that it will cost money and that
commissions die hard; in fact some
show a propensity to live long after
they are forgotten, apparently becom-
ing immortal through the public's for
getfulness.
The unsophisticated, who look to of
fetal reports for eveidence Of service,
are apt to be disappointed where bur-
eaus and commissions are concerned.
Not enough funds is the stock excuse
for paucity of results and begging for
more habit soon learned. The Off
cial organ is a favOrite instrumental
lty of the bureau and commission and
from being a means of acquainting the
public with service performed it COM
monty becomes an agency for perpet--
uating it's principal. The law creates
the bureau; the bureau publishes the
organ; and then the organ creates the
Influence needed to perpetuate the
bureau.
Government commissions and bur-
eaus propagate and multiply in a way
to defy all Darwinian and Mendelian
calculations; they sprout branches,
sections, divisions and other organs
until only a genealogical tree can
show their relationships. They have
long been familiar with fission and
parthenogenesis as methods of MAX
ing many taxeaters grow where only
few grew before.
Nowadays, when even the most CON
sentative of voters are disposed to
TRY anything once" they might find
interest in the experiment of killing
off here and there a commission that
appears to have no reason for exis-
tence. Nobody will believe that the
death of few would imperil free gov
eminent. If any good ones should be
inadvertently struck down, the injury

Former Warden Spoke
| on Criminal Influences
REV. DANIEL WOODWARD TALKS
TO CONGREGATIONAL MEN ON
HIGH COST OF CRIMINALS

'The High Cost of Criminals" was
the theme of Rev. Daniel woodward.
former warden of the Waupun state
prison, the speaker of the evening at
the meeting of the Congregational
Mems club at Rhinelander last week.
Youthful crime and criminals unite
to make up one Of the greatest ques-
lions the American people have to
face" said Mr. Woodward, formally
introducing his address. Fifty per cent
of the persons facing the bars of JUS
tice in the United States are under 81
years ofsage, andd % per cent of the
inmates of correctional and penal in
stitutions of the country are as youth
full as that
Warden Woodward spoke for an
hour, reciting statistics about crime
conditions astonishing to a degree to
his hearers. He said further, in part:
There is a mistaken notion abroad
that large per cent of the criminals
are highly educated, keenly equipped
men and women. This is not so; one
per cent are college men; eight per
cent went through the eighth grade
of the public schools; the rest are
from the strata of life we denote as
ignorant, illiterate.
Criminals largely come from bad
surroundings, from environment that
is unfayorable to moral uprightness
and favorable to the development of
criminality. Generally speaking boys
and girls that have the right kind of
surroundings make the right kind Of
American citizens.
In solving the great problem of 1.-THE
High Cost of Criminals there are
some fundamental things to be con
sidered. They are, in the order of
their Importance, the home, the
church, the schools, community move
ments.
The home is the only place to grow
American citizens. Any other place or
plan or institution fails in one of the
most vital points. You can't make
good men and women for America I'M
less the boys and girls have the atmo-
sphere of love and caresses from baby
hood up When that is absent you
have starved hearts, and starved
hearts are not good for citizens. No
institution of the state can supply
this need; the home is the only right
place to grow American citizens,
Criminals do not come from the en-
vironment of religion. Men and WON
en- who believe in God and have a
hope of Immortality have something
to live for and moral standards that
largely safeguard them in time of
temptation.
Criminals come from the il1iterate
and the unframed. They have to face
life with a handicap. They go down
because they cannot make the grade
in the fierce competition with their
better equipped fellows. The commun-
ity that furnishes the opportunity for
an education goes far to lower the
high cost of criminals.
The fourth great aid to the lower
ing of the high cost of crime is the
community movement. Among these
are to be found prominent and eff
cient, the Scout movement. Both the
Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls lay
the foundations for efficient and high
minded living. The churches and
great fraternal orders are succeeding
in plans to hold and safeguard the
boys and girls through that dangerous
age between Is and Fl.
