STEAL EVIDENCE
FROM SHERIFF
RichIand County Officer Finds
Himself Embarrassed When
Booze Is Carried From Jail

Sheriff Dietzman is worse off than
the man who ate his seed potatoes
as regards prosecutions for some al
legged LIQUOR cases in the city. Thieves
stole his evidence in the form OF
eight or nine gallons of moonshlne OF
various designs and colors. The booze
room at the county jail was broken
into some time last week and the
above quantity taken. In the room
was a lot of stored evidence taken IN
moonshine cases. In most instances,
the cases were closed, but in two
they are still pending. Osterly VINO
made a sensational escape when ap-
pref ended here has no evidence TO
confront him if he is ever brought
back on the warrant now out for him.
About one half Of the evidence in the
Dick Shireman case also disappear
ed in the raid on the Sheriff's stock.
How entrance was secured to the
room, Mr.. Dietzman is at a loss to
know. He carried with him the only
kew that will open this room, yet
the door was unlocked and the booze
taken. He is investigating the mat
ter, and says arrests are very likely
to follow.-Richland Center Democrat

SAYS DICTATOR;
GERMANY soon
Professor L. S. Smith Predicts
Serious Trouble In Defeated
Country Before Many Weeks

There is almost certain to be
civil war and dictator over Germany
soon. declared Professor L. S. Smith
of the University of Wisconsin at
the regular luncheon of the Klwan1s
club at the Warren on Wednesday
He says the people of Germany have
been misled and for that reason they
are not to blame, but with the lead
ers it is different. The speaker pass
ed through Germany early last sum-
mer and found the rural sections
looking fine. The farm houses were
better than those in Sank county and
the fields were dressed in splendid
attire. The crops have been good, yet
people in Germany are starving,
Why?
Big Business Ruined Germany
Mr.. Smith says that big business
has ruined Germany, that the rich
manufacturers and heads of the gov
eminent reduced the value of the
mark, thus producing misery in Ger
many. About 100000 marks are
now equal to $500 He does not blame
the common people, says the United
States should help them.
Great Mistake Made
The speaker said the great mistake
was made by France, Great Britain
and the United States not standing
together and telling Germany that
she must pay. France has been prac-
tically abandoned and she is in great
fear of her enemy. France is in bad
condition. her death rate is more than
the birth rate. Her main hope is
to obtain metal from the mines that
have not been destroyed. Germany
has made worthless many mines and
France is therefore in a bad way.
Our soldiers died to bring democracy
to Europe and largely they have died
in vain. The United States is suf-
fering now and will suffer more in
business way because she did not
help in the reconstruction of Europe.
The speaker passed through Nor
way where found business conditions
poor. Business was a little better in
Sweden. These countries had sold
to Germany and had been paid in
deprecated marks.
Professor Smith showed number
of pictures taken before and soon
after the war, depicting the great de-
struction wrought by the war, laying
stress in the ruthless ruin made by
the German soldiers. For all that he
would help the starving in that coun-
try for they were deceived III many
ways.
The nominations we're read by act
ing Secretary Ben Jones, DIR. Stekl
spoke for the Legion band, and it was
decided to entertain the ladies after
the holiday festivities. E. F. Dfthmar
presided.

Highest Grade Silver Fozes

G. A. Borcher, and B. E. Tollaksen
and c.. A. Booth have establisher a
silver fox ranch in Kilbourn. They
visited noted ranches in Minnesota
Wisconsin and Indiana, and have for
months been giving close study to
fox breeding. They have erected cages

dance with the advice and direction
of the international Fox Breeders
association and equal in every way to
the most approved ranches of this
class.
They have now three pairs of sill
yer foxes, a guaranteed grade, one
of the males a brother a sweepstake
winner that held at $4,000 by his
owners in Indiana From one pair on
this ranch the product of one pair IN
one season sold for $4,000. 1t is adj
visable to start with more foxes, but
eventually the company expects to

Two SPEAKERS
DISCUSS TAXES
Dr.. G. 7. Thuere and Superinten-
dent A. c. Kmgsford Speak on
One Of Modern Problems

At the home of DIR. and Mrs. G. T.
Thuerer on Friday night, the subject
of taxes was discussed by the host
and superintendent A. G. Kingsford
before the Fortnightly Literary club.
Collecting money for the support OF
governments has been in vogue for
a long time and with each approach
ing century, decade or year, new
problems present themselves. A
Frenchman a long time ago said that
tax collecting was the art Of pluck
ing a goose without making it cry.
In discussing faulty taxation the
host said the rich maintain they are
numerically soaked, big business
finds itself handicapped, the salaried
workers protest they bear the bulk
exempt securities creating pluto
cracy? Is the present system equit-
able? How does the burden of taxa
ton hamper industry? Is sales or
consume s' tax a remedy? Shall ev-
cry income, no matter how small, be
taxed?
In answering the above it was held
in some cases too great bond issues
have been made, there are many in
CAPABILITIES, the state income tax in
Wisconsin is driving business from
the commonwealth, sales tax is not
i to- ac
held that all should pay a tax, even
though small, in order that every
one should feel a responsibility in the
government.
Federal Taxes
Mr.. Kingsford spoke of the attempt
being made at Washington to reduce
the federal taxes $500, 100000. The
speaker discussed the limits of taxa
ton, point where industry must
pay SO much to the government that
there will be no funds for building
new factories, and he was of the
opinion that point had almost been
reached. The tax collected before the
war was about one-twelfth and since
the war has risen to one-s!x !. With
growing needs the limit is approach
ed
AS to who pays the taxes it is diff
cult to say where it falls but the most
comes in the end from the consumer.
Under the present system the speak
er held the whole thing was in a state
of chaos. The tariff is a popular
method of taxation, the average citi-
zen does not know what he pays.
Mr.. Kingsford said that the rich
people were at the mercy of congress
as to federal taxes as the rate is
fxd by the federal body.
The impression prevailed lat the
meeting there should be no tax ex-
empt bonds. The municipalities or
governments which issued bonds,
then, must pay a higher rate of inter
est but it would keep all wealth on
the tax roll.
The holiday meeting Of the club
will be held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs A. Reinking.

 Eating Ice Cream Cones

Belief that the spirit of Columbus never dies. is firmly established in the neighborhocd of Columbia and Madison streets Saturday. since two little playmates in that neighborhood calmly wandered off to explore un- known regions, made some new friends, were interviewed by news paper reporter, created considerable eScitment, enjoyed treat at the hands of Asst. Corporation Counsel w. H. Camp and then returned home by automobile, happy and delighted with the result of their adventure.
 The wanderers were Ray Gooby, son of F. J. Gooby. of 10 Madison street, and proprietor of the New Britain Sheet Metal works. The other was Miss Evelyn Rechen- berg, also three years old and the daughter of Otto F. Rechenberg of 69 Columbia street.
 The tiny tots, imbued with the spirit of wanderust, started out shortly af- ter their noon luncheon to explore un- known worlds. Some time after 1 o'clock they were missed from the neighborhood and a search was insti-

 In the meantime the youngsters wandered down Arch street and into a Main street drug store where they calmly ordered ice cream cones.

By The Associated Press.
 On board President Hardings special train. July 1.-Two days spent by President Harding in Yellowstone National Park has had the effect of making him a. strong advocate of the proposal to add the Teton noun tain region to the park area. The chief executive shortly before leaving the park late yesterday after having travelled through it and obtained . welcome surcease from, the almcsf continuous rides of the western trip indicated that not only would he ap- prove legislation to add the Teton mountains to this park but he would use his influence to bring about the passage by congress of such an act. Both the president and Mrs. Harding had previously visited the park yet each declared on boarding the train at Gardiner last night that yesterday and Saturday had been two of the most pleasant days of the trip. Also both of them appeared to have beea refreshed by having gotten away from the cities and crowds.
 The presidents party spent the greater part of today traveling acrOae the state of Montana and into Wash- ington with Spokane as the next stop. There the president will make one oS the principal speeches of his trip to. night discussing reclamation hydros electric power development and sims liar questions of interest to the fa$ northwest.

Bumper crops are great stuff except when automobiles cause them.
 The White Sox made 1t four straight over Cleveland yesterday, thereby entering the first division.
 Again the Tanks proved too much for Rommel and New York made it four straight from the Athletics yes terday. Babe Ruth pulled tendon and retired from the game.
 The Robins got but three hits off McQuillan yesterday, yet the Giants lost to 1, It was Fournier's homer in the first that won.
 Pittsburgh lost when the Reds staged a seventh inning rally and cvened the series.
 Down here in the Eastern league, Pittsield and Bridgeport broke even in a double header and remain tied.
 Springfield by heavy hitting won a one-sided game from Waterbury 15 to l. It was awful
 Even though Beagle did not bat for a thousand yesterday, his manager ought to keep good his word and fix it up for him" The, High school lad got four hits yesterday, one homer and another, double, in six tries. He also scored four runs for the Pirates.
 Old Jerry Griffith worked well for Corbin yesterday and although he lost 3-2 it doesn't detract from his pitch ing. Up until the ninth inning he had allowed but hits. Even with the three they got in the ninth, better fielding might have saved the game.
 Preisser was spiked in the ninth in ningi but gamely continued.
 The Berlin-Dragon game was not played over Saturday and now only the fates know when it will be played If it ever is. . ates will have game on the Fourth is uncertain.
 The Pirates are ready and willing to play, but thus far they have been unable to get any of the city league teams to come across.
 Of course, the Fourth iS & bad day for an amateur or semi-pro team for many of the members have plans of their own for that day.
