LOGAN OPPOSES
TEASDALE BILL
Declares it Would Hamper
Instead of Aid in Secur-
ing of Evidence.
WOULD PAY FOR TIPS

Chief of Police Thad W. Logan of
Kenosha is not in favor of the bill
which is now before the state senate,
having been introduced by Senator
Teasdale, and providing that a com
mission" not TO exceed ten per cent
of the fine imposed should be paid to
anyone who furnishes information on
which liquor raids are made. Chief
Logan declares the bill would be most
iniquitous in that it would hamper
the securing of information on any
other cases.
i am not sure that it would aid in
the least in the enforcement of the
liquor laws either" declared Chief
Logan. To-day every law-abiding
citizen is expected to report violations
of law which come to his notice. Ger
tainly those who pass this by would
not be prompted by paltry ten per
cent of the fine to spy on his neigh
bors and report to the police"
Would be Hindrance Anyway.
Suppose it did help there, how
ever" continued the police chief, "the
hindrance which it would place to Sc
curing evidence on other cases would
more than counterfeit what little help
might be secured in enforcing the IL
quor laws. Suppose for example that
we had murder committed in Ke-
nosha and the police were making an
investigation. No provision is made
for paying any who might inform US
as to who was guilty for the murder
and it would not be long until sus-
poets would refuse to talk on these
questions unless paid for it as in the
liquor cases. 1 certainly am opposed
to the passage of the law and will do
everything in my power to advise leg
islators that I consider it valueless."
Chief Logan declared that police Of
ficials all over the state were join
ing in the protest which is being made
to the proposed measure.

BULLETIN.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison, Wisely a unanimous
Vote the assembly committee on
taxation of the legislature determ-
ined last night to recommend for
passage the Dahl general income
tax bill, estimated to raise nearly
S16,OOO,OOO from incomes of cor
pOratiOns and individuals Of the
state while reducing real prop
erty taxes.
"The joint committee on finance
did not act on the two bills follow
ing the afternoon hearing, reserv-
ing it's judgment until later"
This action of the committee
was taken after an extended hear
ing which lasted throughout the
afternoon. Business men from
over Wisconsin appeared in Oppo-
sitiOn to the tax proposal sponsor
ed by Speaker John L. Dahl and
the sur-tax bill of Senator Herman
J. Severson, also under cOnsidera-
ton. They offered no concrete
measure or suggestion for inn
proving on these revenue bills,
however, and the committee at once
decided to send in the Dahl bill.
Socialist members of the legis-
lature following the recommends
ton caucused and decided to back
the committee recommendation.
Passage is practically assured as a
result of this coalition.

years in the state of Wisconsin, has
our last fiscal year, November 80, 1922,
S225,000, 100000 of its products-a rela-
lively small proportion Of which was
sold in the state of Wisconsin. Dur
ing that time it has paid out more than
$4,000, 100000 in salaries and wages, a
large portion of which most assuredly
have been spent in the state of Wis
consin. The company, in its purchase
of materials, has bought many millions
of dollars worth of supplies from other
Wisconsin manufacturers, who in turn
have paid taxes and wages. Likewise
have the merchants, who received their
due proportion of this $38, 900, 10000
in wages, paid wages and taxes.
So much for my opinion of what I
believe the industrial development Of
Wisconsin is worth to the state as q
whole. Statistics will of course show
that there has been material increase
in the industrial development of the
state in the past decade, but that re-
minds me of the fellow that said there
were three kinds of lies: Lies, damn
lies and statistics. l am reminded of
the story of Andrew Green of Detroit
Andrew Green was brought up in the
plant of the Solvay Process company
of Syracuse, N. Y. They established
large plant in Detroit and sent
manager out to run it. The manager
lost money in large sums for several
yeras and they finally sent Andrew
Green to take charge of the plant 1t
took Andrew about six months to head
the operation in the right direction ard
the following year he made one mil
lion dollars of profit for his company.
He of course felt very proud of his
achievement, got his operating sheets
together and his balance sheet, threw
out his chest and went down to SYRIA
cuse for congratulations and an in
crease in salary The old veterans of
the business took him into the private
office and carefully went over his oper-
ating sheets with him, making 10
criticisms, but pointing out various
items to Andrew. He told me after
wards that, without mentioning any
figures to him at all, the old veterans
convinced him that if he had run the
business halfway right he would have
made three million dollars instead OF
one million, and that he was glad to
come back to Detroit without their
congratulations without an increase
in salary, and glad to be able to
hold his job.
Paints from Picture.
That is true picture of the indus
trial development of Wisconsin. 1t
has developed, but to so much less de-
gree than it should have, with US
natural advantages, that no one should
expect any congratulations for its
present condition.
| have referred to the tax rates in
Michigan. 1t may probably be asked
how Michigan raises it's vast amount
of money, with such low tax rates.
This is accomplished through building
up a greater valuation of its property,
through the encouragement of indus
try. The same can be accomplished
in Wisconsin, and all tax rates can be
reduced and provide all the money the
state needs, if we are only willing to
plant the seed corn and reap the haIv-
est-instead of trying to eat the seed
corn that we have on hand"

OZRO W. EDDY
DIES AT HOME
Old Pioneer of Kenosha
Succumbs at His Home
in WheatIand.
HERE OVER 80 YEARS

o. w. Eddy, aged "a years, one of
dents of Kenosha county, died at his
home in the town of Wheatland on
Tuesday He had been in failing
health for some time and his death
came as a result of the natural in
firmities of age.
He had been resident of Kenosha
county for more than eighty-one years
and during this long period he had
made his home on the same farm in
the western part of the county. For
many years he was one Of the most
influential citizens of the western por-
ton of the county and he took a very
active interest in the development of
that section of the state.
For thirty eight years he served the
town of Wheatland in the capacity of
justice Of the peace and he had been
active in town and county politics dur
1t is believed that Mr.. Eddy had liv-
ed in Kenosha county longer than any
other man.
Born in Orleans, New York.
Ozro w. Eddy was a native of Or
leans, New York, where he was born
on April 18th, 1888. He was son of
Willard and Hannah (Boies) Eddy,
who were among the earliest settlers
of Kenosha county. His parents
brought him to the farm in the town
of Wheatland when he was three years
of age. He was educated in the
schools of Wheatland and in 1873 he
was married to Miss Mary Potter who
was native of Lake County, III. The
Eddy home became one of the best
known of the hospitable homes of Ke-
nosha county and it was one of the
social centers in the western district
Mr.. Eddy was one of the Kenosha
men who served in the Union army
He enlisted in 1864 as a member of
Company A of the Eighteenth Wis
consin infantry and he served until
the end of the war. He was mem
Der of Luther Crane post of the Grand
Army of the Republic, located at Bur-
lington.
He is survived by three sons, Ralph
of Wheat1and, William of Burlington,
and Ernest of Kenosha, and two
daughters, Miss Mayme Eddy of
Wheatland and Mrs. Arthur Bulls of
Union Grove.
The funeral service will be held at
the home in Wheatland at one o'clock
Friday afternoon.

Should Develop Great Industry.
What l have said of Kenosha must
surely apply to every other industrial

There is no reason why there should
not be development of great iron
industry in the state, similar to that
at Gary and other points around Chi
cago We are closer to the ore-we
are but little further from the Illinois
and Indiana coal felds-and we are
closer to coal that comes by lake.
It is contended that the burdens on
industry in Wisconsin are no greater
than they are in other states. Our
own experience contradicts this state
ment. Our principal competitors i'll
the automobile industry are located in
Michigan, and I have computed our
taxes for the year 1922 Chased on our
present mill tax, plus our income tax,
less the personal property off-set) and
made comparisons with what they
would be if we were located at any of
the following points in Michign:

If we were located in Detroit our

C0NY makes IT EIGGEHIT STRAIGHT
IN DRAb WIN over BRUNSWICK 1913
BOTH TEAMS GUILTY OF displays

Cony COPIED another ball game
yesterday afternoon, Brunswick High
being the victim and the tally was
10 to 3. 1t was not creditable con-
test by any stretch of imagination.
Dicky Rideout was on the firing
line for Cony and was one of the
few who turned in good DAYS
work. He accounted for Is by the
air route and although 10 hits were
registered off his delivery five Of
them should have been the easiest
kind of outs-dinky flies to the out
field that the gardeners could not
agree as to who should make an eff
fort to smother the sphere.
While COny was putting up a
"rotten" game, Brunswick was put
ting, in the words of Coach Thomp-
son "a rottener one" Scribnor, Bel
anger and Singer were the only ones
who did not register one of more
miscues. In addition to these there
were a disquieting number of bases
on balls. wild pitches and passed
balls, all of which aided materially
in swelling the Cony run column.
But there, that's enough of the
rough stuff. There were bright spots
in an otherwise drab afternoon. Far
rington got hit in the second by
some uaSny SCdmperlng 10 first and
made four nice assists. although
there were couple Of bad heaves.
Austin laced out two beauty bingles
but was a trifle unsteady behind
the plate. Brennan also cracked out
a couple of one-pillow affairs and
tapped the pill in the sixth for
sacrifice.
Roderick at second registered five
pretty assists but spoiled a perfect
day by miscue in the sixth. He
poled out Cony's longest hit a
double to right center-Bush rifcd
one through the box in the fifth. In
the field he was idle. Hughes in
center smothered two, one a fine
running catch. In the eighth with
