EXPLAINS TAXES

Madison-The increase Of taxes in
Wisconsin can be explained by "the
great advance in the price level" and
by the extension of activity in high
way building and education, Thomas
z. Lyons, chairman of the tax com
mission, advises the legislature in a
summary of the state tax system
His survey shows that in the four
years frcFn 1918 to 1922 taxes in
creased 91.5 per cent, from a total of
$64 ,661 to $117.921,738.
1T would be erroneous to charge
this rapid increase of taxes to the tax
system. All communities must bear
the cost of their cWn government,
state and local, and the tax system is
merely means adopted to raise the
necessary amount. To the extent that
part of the needed revenue is raised
by one form of taxation other forms
are correspondingly relieved"

WISCONSIN FARM REPORT

An expansion of hog raising on
Wisconsin farms as indicated by the
number of brood sows, and farm
supply of 49, of a normal supply
were announced today in the April
crop report of the Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service of the State and
Federal Departments Of Agriculture
at Madison.
Four successive corn crops and
pork prices better than com prices
encouraged Wisconsin farmers in
keeping more brood sows last year
and also this year There were 6
per cent more brood sows on Wiscon-
sin farms on April / year ago than
on the same date of the preceding
year. This years figure for Wiscon-
sin represents another increase of I
per- cent over the number of a year
ago. An increase Of 81 per cent in
the number of brood scws in the en-
tire United States may prove an over
expansion into the hog business, that
winter markets may find difficult to
absorb at profitable prices to farmers
| according to Paul Nyhus of the Live
stock Reporting Service for Wiscon-
sin.
The labor supply of crop season
hands" is usually sought about Apri
1st. Wisconsin farmers found the
supply at current rate of wages or
April l this year to be SO pei cent as
| compared to the normal supply. The
effect of increased Industrial EN-
ployment in the Fox River Valley
ard in the Lake Shore cocnties of The
State is very apparent, the supply o
farm labor in these districts being II
per cent of the normal supply. The
need for farm labor about April ha:
been less urgent than for past year:
due to weather conditions which have
delayed spring work.
The Wisconsin condition of rye ant
winter wheat is almost identical t,
| tie 10-year average condition. lr
| the United States, however, the con
| dition of rye is S1.S per cent, which
is 7 per cent below the condition OF
April l last year and the average
condition of the past ten years fol-
April /. This low condition in the
United States is associated with &
sown acreage that is II per cent less
| than year ago.

My. Bakers theory is that a child
will learn more quickly from another
child than from an adult. Each SIX
year-old, therefore, is given an eight
year-old instructor.
His eight-year-old yopngster can
easily read simple music at sight, and
it takes about twenty minutes for
them to learn new song when they
have teachers about their own age.
Each student teacher is responsible
for the way in which his own pupil
sings, and is far more severe as a
critic than grown person when his
pupil gets off tune.
