A REDUCTION IN TAXES
Lower Returns From Income
Tax Reason for Reduction
of $1,OOO,OOO.

Madison,-A slight reduction in
the total taxes collected in Wis
consin from all sources during the
fiscal year ending in June 80, 1923,
is to be shown by complications
OF the state tax commission, ac-
cording to T. E. Lyons, chairman
of the commission. The expected
reduction, amounting to approx
mately S1,000,000 is attributable
to lower returns from the income
tax, Mr.. Lyons said.
The tax commission, the only
state department to- attempt to
show the actual cost of state gov
eminent to the taxpayer, finds that
instead of bearing a burden of
S36,OO0,O00 annually for support
ing their state government as re-
ported from some sources, the peo-
pie are paying less than $14,0OO,-
900.
This figure is arrived at through
elimination of state aid and agen-
cy transactions that involve no
state expense.
According to tax commission
figures, the total general property
taxes in Wisconsin for the past
fiscal year will total approximately
SOS, 100000, with income and other
taxes bringing the grand total for
state, county, local and school pur-
poses. to nearly $117,000,000.
Tax commission figures for the
past year are expected to show
that only slightly over II percent
of total taxes are for state pur-
poses, while 81 percent are for
county purposes, 81 per cent for
local purposes and 81 percent for
schools.

SPENT $5OO,OOO A DAY
Tourists Estimated to Have
Spent Above Amount in
Wisconsin This Year.

According to the highway COM
mission, Eagle River had the
largest number of foreign cars of
any village or city in the northern
part of the state. She led at the
last census taken over all, outside
of West Bend, Oshkosh, Superior,
Fond du lac and other down state
division points. Eagle River had
$50 foreign cars against Rhine
lander's 221. The highway COM
mission at Madison, who had
census taken last month all over
the state says:
The heavy Wisconsin tourist
travel, instead Of being concen-
trated in Northern counties is
shown by the traffic count of the
state highway commission to be
conferred in Southeastern popula-
ton centers.
Complete totals for cities of
Wisconsin disclose the fact that
1918 out-of-state automobiles
were in Wisconsin on August 8,
the day of the count. This is in
terpreted to show that during the
height of the tourist season ap-
proximately 100000 out-of-state
people were in Wisconsin. Esti-
mates are that over $500,000 was
expended daily by the visiting
tourists.
While northern counties show
ed large numbers of foreign cars
in their reported counts, the
southern districts predominated
In totals, a fact which leads high
way officials to conclude that
most of the tourists were taking
short weekend jaunts into Wis
consin, rather than extensive
tours.
From the summer resort district
of the state, Eagle River reported
63O foreign cars; Hudson, 423;
Rhinelander, 221; Menominie, 241;
Wisconsin Rapids, 189; Wausau,
303.
In the North, Ashland showed
1913 out-of-town machines, and
Superior 754, Sturgeon Bay had
159 foreign car visitors, with Chip
pewa Falls showing 265; West
Bend, TIC.
Eau Claire reported 554 out-of-
state cars; Fond du Lac jumped
up with 1908, while Green Bay had
623; Appleton, 1923; Kaukauna, 282;
La Crosse, 934; Oshkosh, 997; Man.
itowoc, II and Sheboygan, 141.
Southern counties doomed with
the largest showing of foreign
machines. Kenosha had 1888;
Racine, 912; Madison, 1913; Mil
waukee, 1924; GAINESVILLE, 598; Be-
lott, 943; Baraboo, 234; Devils Lake,
1O7; Kilbourn, 1873; Lake Geneva,
631; Oconomowoc, 1876.
Large numbers of other cities
made substantial showings with
their reports.

The epidemic of record breaking
flights this year is in line with the

all designed to be of practical value
to the army, the navy and commerce.
More Records Planned.
Right now plans are being made
for further flights, designed to startle
the world. One of these is an air
plane flight around the globe. When
1t is authorized by formal orders, it
is expected Lieutenants MacReady
and Kelly will be nominated for that
honor
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, the
only flying general" in the world, is
authority for the statement that
flights between New York and Pekin,
China, in IS hours with four stops
for gas, at cost to passengers of
$1,000, will be reality within the very
near future, probably within six
months or year.

Reports of military flying each year
for the period from 1919 to 1922 in
elusive, reveal there were only eight
fatalities out of each 100 men doing
combat, pursuit, formation, and other
military aerial experiments Only two
men out of each 100 were incapacitated
from further duty as pilots.
Summer Plans.
A number of record flights remain
to be attempted during the summer.
These include bomb carrying tests TO
determine how great a weight can
be carried by a specified single engine
plane over 500 and 1000 kilometers.
This flight will be made by Lieutenant
Harris.
Lieutenant Wade is slated to at

Arthur Hind, of Utica, N. Y, paid

YnIIR TRAVELS.

Hora's man who has crossed the Atlantic
49,, on +in,as A sailor? No. He's j. E. Har-
raves English wool merchant. FHty-tnree
wears have slipped by since Hargrayes made
bis frst trip from Liverpool to New York. he
has seen q lot of changes in ocean vessels. Ana
if he lives another so years, keI have to make
the Journey by airplane. Or, perhaps, dlrlgloie
steered balloon.
The flying machine is destined to make the
ocean ship obsolete-railroad trains also.
Won read about Hargraves, and this thought
probably fits through your mind: why IS IL
that this man can cross the ocean I'll times
while most of the rest Of us never can make
the tourney even once? Why do some people
Get all the travelling while the rest rarely get
anywhere, have to stay at home?
Fate has a lot to do with it, though sufficient
will mower would enable the average person
to cross the Atlantic 271 times ii he Weren
too particular about how he Travelled and II ne
were willing to deny himself sufficiently be-
tween trips. But fate is the main factor. Some
times it seems that we are guided from With
ont more than we can guide ourselves from
within.
IF YOU can solve the riddle of why some
people are lucky enough to get as much traVei
as thew want, while others are doomed TO
vawn at home, you have the answer to why a
few have too much money and the multitude
not enough.
Fate plays favorities. There must be rea-
son.
Hareraves, Es., must be sick of the sight
Of the ocean, after crossing it 271 times on
business Too much is as bad as not enough
sometimes, even worse The boy who eats too
much candy realizes this when he sees mother
coming with the castor OIL
The travelling man gets "sick and tired" OF
the road, yearns to settle down on farm or In
some small town.
The people on the farm or in small town
wish they could travel. That's why they flock
to see No. Is steam in.
The child's heart thrills as he makes his
first journey, walking for the first time, from
mother to father Later comes the thrill as
he explores the house, still later the yard.
Then he stands at the gate or peers through
the fence and wonders what lies down the
street Learning that, he yearns for the next
town, so on until he wants to explore the
world.
Not content with the world, men with tele-
scopes study the stars dream of flying to them
in airpanes.
Desire to travel is such a deep-rooted in
stinct that it is obvious life is merely stop
over on an endless journey through eternity.
