INTERESTING FIGURES
ON GRANT COUNTY TAX

The Herald is in receipt of an inter-
esting table on Wisconsin taxes pre-
pared by T. A. Polleys, statistician
for the Northwestern road. The table
covers every county in Wisconsin.
TIE increase in valuation for the
ten-year period, 1912 to 1917, shows
that land values have almost doubled.
The 1912 value per acre in Grant
county was $58.25. In 1917 the value
jumped to STATS. In 1922 it was
$4,000. During the same period the
average value per acre over the state
was 1912, $46.75; 1917, $58.25; 1922,
$8050.
The general property taxes per
acre during 1921 have been made an
property tax per average acre in
Grant county was $1.25O2. This was
divided in cents as follows: state
1873; county, 2705 town, 1857;
school, 4092. The report shows that
the increase in school taxes during
the ten year period was high but that
general tax increases ran lower in
this county than the general state av-
erage.
The increase in general property
taxes stated IN per cent per annum
1916-1922, was 14.61. At this rate
taxes will double each seven years.
In Grant county the general tax per
acre each year was: 1916, 1860;
1917, 1880; 1913, 1850; 1919,
12O29c; 1920, 12443c; 1921, 125.02c,
or about 1926 an acre.
While the general trend of taxes is
to double every seven years it might
be proven that this is a good thing if
general prosperity advances at the
same ratio This would take an ex-
haustive study before it could be
properly commented upon.

Collecting Dog Taxes.

County Clerk James T. Webb is
checking up dog tax reports forward
ed from various municipal treasurers
in the county. Mr.. Webb says the
present dog tax is paying out nearly
100 percent in the rural districts but
falls downs in the cities and villages.
The average amount collected is about
$50, showing the dog population of the
county to be at least $500. The pres
ent tax is 81 for males and So for fe-
males. The old law charging SO for
males and SIS for females brought a
large sum, $4,000 in, but was too
heavy and unpopular. The last legis-
lature reduced the tax considerable.
The money collected provides fund
for stock losses, principally sheep,
killed by dogs. Is cents is allowed
the town treasurer for collecting the
tax and Is cents goes to the state for
administration. The balance goes in
to the damage fund and any surplus
at the end of the year is returned to
the municipalities in proportion to
their contribution.

INCOME TAXES

The state and federal income tax

Arch Tredennick, assessor of in
comes for Grant and Iowa counties,

state is nsiderate-personal proper
ty tax acts as an offset for state in
come tax. The present legislature
may change this beneficent provision.
The federal tax department, under
control of A. H. Wilkerson, Milwau-
kee, will have a man here, but the
exact date has not been announced.
The government "gits ye," allowing no
offsets of any kind, except the usual
exemptions outlined in the report
mailed to each federal tax payer.
We used to have hidden envy of
those who paid federal income tax. 1t
implied a distinction of wealth and a
plethora of revenue that seemed posi-
lively to be a goal. One could say in
an off-hand manner, We'll, | just got
through with that Internal govern
ment income tax" and then saunter
away leaving the envious listener
agape.

HOW TO FIRE SOFT COAL
TOLD BY HEATING EXPERT

In the interests of fuel economy this
winter, heating experts at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin suggest the follow
ing hints, for the burning of soft coal.
soft coal, properly handled, often
results in saving over hard coal" says
F. w. Duree, agricultural engineer at
the University Of Wisconsin. "The
main difficulty with soft coal is to pre-
vent losses through smoke. This can
best be accomplished by firing fire.
quent1y and by putting fresh coal
on to a hot fire.
Smoke is an indication Of ipcom-
plete combustion and of waste. For
each kind of coal and each furnace
there is usually a. range in the rate OF
combustion in which it is easy to avoid
smoke At higher rates, owing to the
lack of furnace capacity, it becomes
increasingly difficult to supply the
air for complete combustion. Smoke
is usually due to improper firing
adding too much at one time and not
supplying enough air. Firing at least
six times a day with soft coal is
recommended
"The u. S. fuel commission strong
ly advocates the use of salt in the fur
mace to remove SCOT in furnace and
chimney. The fire should he in good
condition with a substantial body OF
hot fuel. Well dried common salt is
then scattered over the incandescent
fuel bed-perhaps one-fourth to one
pound at a time. The hampers should
be opened for Is to 80 minutes to
maintain the furnace temperature I'M
til the fumes entirely disappear.
Scrap zinc thrown on fire is said to
remove SCOT.
Health authorities and heating en-
gineers agree that, both for health
and economy, the best room tempera-
ture is somewhere around 70 degrees

CATHOLICS TO FIGHT
OREGON SCHOOL LAW

Observation-Disclosures its Ma
tional Welfare Council, the Catholic
church will exert every influence,
foral, spiritual and financial, to test
the validity of the amendment to con-
stitutiOn of Oregon, which compels all
children between the ages of eight
and 16 years to attend the public
schools. The law will close the parO-
chial schools of the state, many Sec
ondary schools, and affect not only
Catholic but Lutheran and other
schools.
The archbishop of San Franciso is
at the head of the councils efforts on
this matter. Associated with him are
Catholic leaders like Archbishop
Bowling, st. Paul, and Bishop
Schrombs, Cleveland The details of
to Oregon, but the Catholic church as
whole will back Oregon. Approach
es have been made to Lutherans and
others to join forces against the law.
In this connection the council is
considering the question of issuing to
the American people a statement
which will officially declare that the
Catholic church does not and never
has opposed public schools. Since,
however, religion is not taught in the
public schools in the United States,
as it is provided for in schools in
England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium,
Holland, Germany and smaller coun-
tres, the Catholic church finds its
conscience compelling it to provide
separate schools, which it's people are
willing to pay for, and which it will
seek to make the equal to the public
schools. Leaflets are to be issued on
the question of religious education, its

OLD MEXICO ENTRANCES
MRS. EDWARD M. LOWRY
New Orleans, La,
January 26, 1923.

New orleans, La.5
January &c, 1923.
Editor Herald:
Enclosed find NJ. O. for which please
advance my Herald a year. After a
delightful visit of several months in
"Old Mexico" I an glad to be under
the Stars and Stripes once more. The
things l most enjoyed were the de-
lghtful climate-the mountains by
which Mexico City is surrounded-es-
peciany Popocatapetl, the only active
volcano | have ever Seen-and the
shifting panorama of the streets,
where one sees every type-from the
beautiful black haired Spanish senori-
tas, with their lovely dark eys, wear
ing lace malltillas and docking for
all the world as though they had step
ped out of the frame of an old world
picture) to the poems, bare-footed,
wearing their gay serapes, carrying
their huge loads of pottery or fruits
or baskets on their backs-always
travelling with the "Aztec trot" in city
or country. Mexico is rightly called
the 'land of dreams" and one never
tires of her infinite variety.
Until one acquires a little Spanish,
going about alone is bit difficult,
but one meets with courtesy on every
side, and soon learns to be quite in
dependent.
"Ted" as his Lancaster friends
know him, is WELLS pleasantly To-
Gated and enjoys his work. He is the
first Vice Consul and all passports go
through his office, SO he not infre-
Quently meets acquaintance from the
States or other countries where he
has lived.
Socially, Mexico City is delightful.
The American colony is large and one
meets many foreigners as we'll, and
the upper class Mexicans are cultur-
ed, charming people.
Kindly forward my Herald to the
following address.
With kind regards to friends in
Lancaster.
Sincerely,
MRS. E. M. LOWRY.

The A r. Hirst proposals on new

This is not likely Of passage as the
legislature considers such tax would
raise the price of gasoline fuel not
used in automobiles. A horse power
tax has been discarded as unfair.
Such tax would make Ford owner
pay more tax than the owners Of high
err priced but lower powered cars.

carry the following schedule on taxa
tion-8O cents a hundred ON cars and
