SENTIMENT IS
At WHITE HEAT
Taxpayers Would Pro-
test Through Mass
Meeting Monday

Opposition to the county taxes is
reaching a high ebb. according to Mrs.
Matthew Golden, who is leading the
fight. An Indignation meeting will be
held in Caldwell at the American
theatre Monday afternoon of next
week. Judging from the interest
aroused in high taxes. the meeting
will be well attended
Just what the program will be has
not clearly been outlined. 1t is pre-
sumed, however. that emphatic resolu-
tions will be introduced. 1t is said
to be likely that the board OF county
commissioners will come in for some
OF the fire.
Petitions asking for the meeting are
being circulated. That opposition Is
not all from rural communities is
evidenced from the fact that many
town men have indicated interest in
the precedings. According to a list
submitted Monday afternoon by Mrs.
Golden, the call is authorized by J.
d. Rowland, d. G. Ruby. A. II. Kelly,
J. P. Johnson, J. w Smeed, Colin Nc
Leod, II n. Peckham, w. A. Broyles,
c. 6. Doan, w. w. Waterman, J. w.
Cupples, c NJ Rankin, II. NJ. Holden
and c. L. Austin.
Legal advice indicates that the only
plausible procedure by a mass meeting
is that OF protest. Taxes must be
paid regardless OF sentiment in oppo-
sition to their total. il is pointed out.
But sponsors OF the move believe
that by arousing public opinion TO i
high pitch it will be more easily i'm
pressed by municipalities and the coun-
ty that rigid economy is the taxpayers
watchword and that trifling will not
be tolerated.

GOVERNOR MAY
GRANT PARDONS
Hearing is Held at Madison
in Fisher and Rit-
ter Cases.
O'HARE OUT SOON

A hearing was held in Madison
on Wednesday in the matter OF par
don for Alex Ritter and Peter Fisher,
Jr., former Kenosha county officials
who have been serving time in state
prison, and whose friends have been
active in securing their release at this
holiday season.
Attorney R. V. Baker of Kenosha
and Attorney Wallace Ingalls, OF Ra-
cine were present at the hearing be-
fore Governor Blaine at the capital.
In the case of Fisher, the attorneys
dwelt upon the fact thatsa plea in bar
had been filed and that under the laws
of the state a person who has given
testimony to his own hurt for the
benefit of a grand jury prosecution
should be protected from conviction or
punishment. Fishers testimony had
been accepted and been allowed to
stand At the time of the trial the
plea in bar was entered, after the
spectacular con ession of Peter Fish
er, Jr., had been used.
Ritter's Life Dwelt Upon.
SIN the case of Ritter, the attorneys
presented some touching circumstances
from his own life. They said that he
had lost his parents at an early age
and never had had a fair chance. Poll
tics, they said, had been his undoing,
as he had become interested in that
field, and under the conditions that ex-
listed in Kenosha county few years
ago, had been easily tempted and in
fuenced by others into error.
The presentation of the two cases
occupied all morning Wednesday, and
at the close the governor took the mat
ter under advisement.
No further application for pardon or
parole have been made in the case of
former Chief of Police Owen O'Hare,
but it is understood that his time of
confinement will come to an end just
two weeks before Christmas.

BUILDING AND LOAN
GROWS In WISCONSIN
Report from officials Shows Big Adj
vance in Amount Invested
With Association.

Madison, Wis-Assets of building
and loan associations in Wisconsin in
creased 26.4 per cent during 1922, or
from S56,792, 1854 in 1921, to $71,821, 021
at the close of 1922, according to the
annual report of the building and loan
division of the state department of
banking for last year, obtained from
the banking department today. The
increase in assets of the loan organi-
cations amounted to $15,02S,658, the
report shows.
A total of 115 associations existed
under the state department at the be-
ginning of the present year, accord
ing to the summary. They were To-
Gated in thirty-three different coun-
ties, Milwaukee leading with one-half
of all those in the state. That county
had fifty building and loan organi-
cations.
The number of loan associations in
several other counties follows: Dane,
4; Eau Claire, /; Green, 1; Kenosha,
Kenosha, q; Lacrosse, 2; Manitowoc,
2; Marinette, 1; Racine, 5; Rock, Al;
Sheboygan, a; Waukesha, a; Winnie
bago, 2; Wood, 2.
General revision of the loan law IS
recommended in the report. 1t also
recommends that the associations be
required to pay fee for their super
vision to help defray expense of ex-
aminations and that two examina-
tions be made annually of each
association.
During the past year building and
loan associations have greatly in
crease din number as we'll as in as
SETS" the report declared. "The in
creased in number as we'll as in as
state, particularly in Milwaukee, has
caused the department considerable
anxiety. It has developed that I'M
scruplulous men have conceived the
possibility of using loan associations
as an adjunct to some other business.
The state law, as it stands today, is
insufficient to protect the associations
against certain exploiters and there is
danger that losses may accrue"
