DECISION HITS
PUJBLIC'S RIGHTS
Supreme Court Decision on
Riparian Rights of In
terest Here.
HITS SHORE LINE
(By Associated Pressl

Madison, Wis.-The public will find
its right to the use of beaches sur
rounding Wisconsin lakes, restricted
hereafter as result of the recent Su-
preme Court decision unfolding the
property fight of the riparian owner
of sall land down to the water-ine
Franklin E. Bump. assistant attorney
general declares.
This decision of the court, written
by Justice Doerfer, overturns the rul-
ing of the attorney general that the
property between the water line and
the highlwater mark around inland
bodies Of water, was open to unre
stricted use Of the, public Mr.. Bump
said According to the assistant at
torney general it will prohibit the use
of the shore by hunters, fishermen or
other persons, except insofar as the
owner. permits.
49, Gives Courts Decision.
In his opinion Justice Doerfer ar
rives at the following conclusions:
"Rights Of riparian owners are based
on his title to ownership of the banks
of the uplands.
"Such ownership gives him the ex-
elusive privileges of the shore for pur-
poses of access to his land and the
water.
'The public can only acquire priv
ileges from him by purchase, prescrip-
ton or eminent domain.
"Such rights include the right of us
ing the shore for bathing beaches,
piers, warves, tharbors or booms and
walls to prevent erosion.
"When the waters in the lake re-
cede to the low water mark the public
has the privilege to use the water up
to the water line and when the water
extends to the ordinary high water
mark, such rights of the public ex
tend"
Use Water But Not Shores.
Justice Doerfer concluded further
that "the public use of the waters in
navigable bodies like the meandered
inland lakes, is confined to and is
founded upon the original basis by
English courts and maintained by
American courts, that such bodies Of
| water constitute highways for nav

management of the store and under
whose direction it will be expanded
are as follows:
Charles Morrison, president and
general manager; Jerome Morrison,
son of Charles Morrison, vice-presi-
dent; Samuel Morrison, brother of
Charles Morrison, treasurer; Roland
R. Dunn, secretary.
Jacob Gottlieb, who for the past
twenty-five years has been associated
with the firm and has directed it most
successfully, is retiring from the bus
mess to take long needed rest and
vacation.
To Keep Former Name.
The store will continue to operate
under the firm name of the J. Gottlieb
company and will continue the sue
cessful policy which has been used
by the store in past years. Plans are
under way for extensive additions to
the stock of the store to make it one
of the largest department stores in
southern Wisconsin. In order to carry
out these plans it has been found
necessary to close out the stock of
furniture to make room for these
new departments.
The store will retain it's present
quarter on the first, second and third
floors of the building which they now
occupy. Among the new departments
which will be added to the store are
bargain basement, a home furnish
ing department, new draperty de-
partment and a boys and children's
department. Changes and enlarge
ments are also planned in all of the
other remaining departments of the
store.
RedecOrate the Interior.
The entire interior is to be redecor-
ated and rearranged. A new system
of lighting will be installed which
will make the store one Of the most
attractive in the city and in this sec
ton of the state.
Mr.. Charles Morrison, who now be-
comes the president and general man
ager of the company, is a man we'll
experienced in the merchandising
business. For twenty-five years he
has been president of the Globe De-
partment store in Waukegsn and has
been most successful there. The new
deal will unite the purchasing power
of the two stores to give the Keno
sha public the benefit of it but the
Waukegan and Kenosha stores will be
kept under separate management. In
Waukegan Mr.. Morrison has estab-
lished himself as a most progressive
and reliable merchant and he comes
to Kenosha to carry out the same
policies that have made him success
full there.
Son Also Experienced Merchant.
Jerome Morrison, who becomes vice.
president of the company, has been
associated with his father in the man
agement of the store in Waukegan
since he completed his education at
Harvard University. He has gained
reputation as one of the most promis-
ing younger business men in Wauke-
gan.

land Dunn, who have come to Keno

OPENS DOORS AS
NATIONAL BANK
Citizens Bank Becomes Full
Pledged National Bank
This Morning.
CHARTER is ISSUED
Telegram from Comptroller of
Currency Crissinger Author
ICES Bank to Begin Business.

Opening its doors this morning as
full-fedged national bank, the Citizens
bank, located at 213-215 Market Square,
was converted today into the United
States National bank of Kenosha. The
plans for changing the bank from a
state to a federal institution have
been underway for several months;
they were completed this morning
when telegram from D. R. Girls

Cashier E. T. O'Brien and the staff
at the bank Immediately changed over
the books and today marked the first
day of business for the institution.
The bank was all prepared for the
change and it merely /meant the drop
ping of the old name "Citizens bank"
for the new name "The United States
National bank of Kenosha." The char
ter number of the bank is 1851.
Retains Same Officers.
The bank under the new supervision
will retain the same officials as under
it's charter as a state banking insti-
tuition. It's capital stock, however, has
been increased to 100000, thus Civ
ing greater protection to it's depositors.
1t is now under federal supervision
and is also a member of the federal
reserve system.
The officials who have guided the
bank so successfully since its organi-
cation in 1915 and who will continue
to direct it as national bank, are
as follows: N. j. Werner, president;
F. ]. Kraft, vice president; E. T..
O'Brien, cashier; C. J. Sadlier, assist
ant cashier. The directors are: 7.

j. Sullivan, Axel Landgren, Frank
Nelson, T. W. Ashley, George Har-
baugh, and E. T. O'Brien.
Congratulations in Order.
AS the news of the signing of the
charter spread throughout the bust
ness circles of Kenosha this morning,
friends of the bank visited it to ex-
tend congratulations upon its securing
national charter and upon its sue
cessful career as state banking in,
stitution. In turn officials of the bank
thanked the many customers and
friends for their business and CO.
operation which aided the bank in
making the record which has now gain
ed federal recognition.

TAXES MOUNT AS LIVING
STANDARDS ARE RAISED
Increase IN Taxes Due to the High
Cost of Living

The nation groans about taxes.
They fall with crushing force upon
the farm and the owners Of the mod
est home. Business is hampered
the burden is universal. In some
sections taxes on farm lands exceed
the revenue from the farms. The
volume of delinquent taxes is stead
ily increasing. We are paying very
high direct taxes, and higher indirect
taxes. for they enter heavily into
the cost of every commodity,
Last winter the legislatures of for
ty-three states assembled, all pledg-
ed to reduce the burden. But most
of them added to the load. Why do
taxes continue to rise?
The reason is plain. We have
built Z big machine of government,
the operation Of which requires a lot
of money. Few are willing to dis
mantle any park of it; most people
want TO add new parts, Regardless
of the cost, they want more roads,

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF LEGIS-
LATURE WERE FEW
Faced With Five Major Problems
When Convened But Few Inn
portant Measures Enacted.

Madison-W When the accomplish
ments of the fifty-sixth session of
Wisconsin's legislature are recorded
after adjournment they will be found
to be few and of minor Importance,
compared to the achievements ex-
pected when the houses convened six
months ago, legislative bulletins
show.
The session convened faced with
five major problems; taxation, high
way legislation, prohibition enforce
ment, education and unemployment
insurance. 1t is preparing now to
adjourn without having effected en-
actment into law of any measures of
Importance relating to these subjects
of proposed legislation.
Expected Radical Action
Radical changes were expected
from a legislature both houses of
which were controlled and organized
at the outset by La Fellette Pro
gressive Republican-Socialist coali-
ton. Besides the control by this
group, was the expected majority Of
vets in both the senate and assembly.
After six months of fighting, cen
tered almost exclusively in the close
ly divided senate, the progressives
and the vets admit that they have
accomplished little-that the expect
ed changes have not been forth
coming,
Senate Kills Tax Bills
Senate action resulted in the kill
ing, one after another of six general
income tax bills. fractional divi-
sions within the progressive ranks in
the senate caused defeat of proposed
revenue law changes, upper house
members agree.
The senate and assembly did agree
upon highway tax to shift larger
share of the burden of road building
expenses from the general tax payer
to the automobile owner, by passing
gasoline tax and weight tax bill.
Governor Blaine ended the hopes for
this program, members say, by his
reported veto of the gasoline tax
proposal.
Liquor Legislation
Refusal of the senate to submit to
recommendation of Governor
Elaine and assembly stands in favor
of modified enforcement of the
Severson prohibition enforcement
law, resulted in defeat of the liquor
legislation. The upper house killed
the lower house move for repeal of
the state enforcement measure, put
ting an end to the major wet move
of the session.
BY killing the Dahl bill for reor-
ganization of the system of educa-
tional administration in the state,
the assembly ended the attempt to
consolidate boards and get unity in
the Wisconsin school organization.
The state board of education, which
acted as a research department in
education, was abolished on the re-
commentator of the governor.
Unemployment Insurance
Unemployment insurance, labor's
principal demand from the session,
ended in a bill asking for an interim
committee to study the question.
Faced with defeat, action on the
major proposal was deferred for two
years,
