Homestead Tax
on the Decrease
Taxes Drop for Wisconsin Homestead
ers in Keeping with New Bill.
(By Associated Press,

Madison, Wis.-Owners of small Wis
consin homesteads will have their tax
burdens lightened by about SO next
year as result of the Johnson law,
enacted by the recent legislature ex-
empting from taxation buildings and
improvements on homesteads to the
value of $780,
This statement is made by John Har-
rington, member of the state tax COM
mission, who has prepared table
tending to show that the effect of the
law will be to lift the tax burden from
small homestead owners and place it
on larger homes. The law will effect
a sliding scale of benefits, aiding poor
er home owners the most and adding
a sliding scale of increase to the
weather. home owners, Mr.. Harring-
ton said.
''The bill will relieve small owners
from about $40 taxation, the relief be-
coming as the value Of the home in
creases," Mr.. Harrington said. when
the value passes s15,OO0 it will result
in sliding scale of increase.
''The exemption provision will re-
move about four per cent of the prop
erty of the state from the tax rolls.
To offset this, the tax on remaining
property will be increased approx
imately four per cent"
Under the new plan a homestead
valued at $1,000 will have it's taxes de-
creased by $3.50, almost half its pres
ent tax assessment; a homestead val
ued at $4,000 will have it's taxes re-
duced by 80 cents, while homestead
valued at $505,000 will have its taxes
increased by $3.50.
The following table prepared by Mr..
Harrington shows how taxes will run
on homes of various Valuations:

LAW ROUTS KIDS
FROM FORTRESS
Youngsters Stage Many
Mythical Battles in
Vacant House.
WARRANTS ARE ISSUED

The days of real sport for the
"Strong Street Robbers" terminated to-
day when three warrants were issued
by the district attorney for the chiefs
and the castle" securely barricaded.
The Robber Band, as they called
themselves in their play, was composed
of about fifteen youngsters ranging in
age from to IL years. Their "fort-
ress" was a vacant house at $50 Park
avenue, owned by Virginia Wulff. A
few days after the organization of the
band early in the spring, few of the
harder souls went out on voyage of
exploration in search of a suitable
castle. On Park avenue they located
the vacant house, reconnoitered and
then gained entrance through the base
ment window.
Great was the rejoicing of the band
when the scouts returned with the
news of the find. They Immediately
gathered their weapons, clambered one
at time through the window and took
possession. With the loud Blooming
of guns" the lawn was strewn with the
bodies of mythical armies bent on in
vasion. Thereafter, great feasts of
victory, consisting of whatever the
children could beg from their kitchens,
were held and the rejoicing knew no
bounds.
Decorate in Honor of Victory.
Pots of paint were located and the
youngsters promptly decorated the
hardwood floors in honor of the occa-
sions. On the Fourth of July they de-
cided that the "foe" should have a
demonstration of the power of their
gums" Consequently a\supply of fire
works was obtained. The noise was
soul satisfying.
The following day the owner in COM
pany with Bert Tomlinson, the agent
of the property, visited the "fort" to
lay plans for extensive remodeling and
redecorating. They discovered the ha-
voc that had been wrought and upon
investigation located the basement win
dow through which entrance had been
gained. This was promptly barricaded
with a plank.
Children Storm Fortress.
This interfered with the youngsters
plans for another great battle and a
cOunCll was lflHiSuldL9ly nSIu. III was
decided to storm the place. The band
went into immediate action. Rocks
were obtained and the plank knocked
loose.
The second day of the great Park
avenue battle was in full swing when
the enemy" put in an appearance by
suddenly producing the keys to the
fort" and walking in. The robbers
disappeared through doors and windows
while the enemy" in hot pursuit fol-
lowed them to their homes.
Names Of the leading spirits of the
band were obtained along with facts
and figures, and the warrants sworn
out. The children will be taken into
custody tomorrow, officials intimated.

NARROWING EXPERIENCES
OF SUNDAY BIRD HUNTERS

The good citizens up in the vicini-
ty of Salt Run are treated first to
one sort of excitement, and then to
another. A year or SO ago it was
the wild animal fright. But last
Sunday they were still greater
scared for time Reliable citizens
saw, as they thought, cave men, or
some sort of wild people, hiding in
rocky cave. They kept careful
watch throughout the day, but to-
wards evening their fears were al
layed, since it was learned that the
men in hiding were harmless and
were in fact none other than E. J..
Arrick, H. B. Sharp, and w. D..
Matson of McConnelsville No.
they were not operating still, al
though things did look rather smoky
at times.
1t all came about this way. The
three started out sbirding-rather
Matson wanted the others to go up
Salt Run to show hi3n crow, since
as he said he was preparing to eat
one after the next election. Cut
ting Sunday school they arrived at
the designated spot, tand about the
same time the elerlents began to
shower them, and they took refuge
in the cave. The seconds. minutes
and even hours rolled on and still it
rained, always harder. They were
chilled-in fact almost frozen, and
SO hungry that Matson said he was
sorry it was not time for the election
crow feast, and even the thoughts of
it made all their mouths water.
Hungry and shivering the three
refugees huddled together. In
course of time, after two of them
had lapsed almost into insensibility,
the other one tried to light fire,
but everything was so wet that the
only thing that resulted was smoke,
which soon filled the cave and
they actually smoked themselves
out
Out in the open air however, they
found themselves revived sufficient
ly to be able to start home, and in
due course of time, rather late in the
evening, arrived, and in fair de-
gree of "normalcy," considering
their damp experience.
Well wager that outside of Mat
sons attempted defense of the rob-
ber tariff. especially as it relates to
the high price of sugar, his exper-
fence Sunday. and what it involved
was the hardest work he ever did.
