PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
HAS ITS PROBLEMS
Commissioner Stanley Smith Ex-
plains to Solons Difficulties
Encountered.

Madison, The Wisconsin pro-
hibition department isn't disposed
to spend its time on Aunt Jemima
with her little mulberry wine" but
has larger objects to accomplish in
suppressing the real moonshine
traffic of the state, w Stanley Smith,
prohibition commissioner, told the
finance committee of the legislature
Yesterday. He was presenting his
request for appropriation to cover
the coming biennium.
The prohibition commissioner told
the committee that his force was
finding lots of moonshine in every
part of the state" He declared
that either due to a decrease in the
amount of the intoxicants or in the
wariness Of the moonshiner, it was
getting harder for the prohibition
forces to find.
Unless local officials will aid in
the enforcement of the liquor law,
the illicit traffic in moonshine will
never be cleaned up in the state, the
WV NlAN NOtlAillIbtCts AAC
explained that he and his officers
were doing all they could with a
limited force, and were getting re-
suits that indicated a cleaning up in
some sections of the state. This is
shown he declared, by the largely
increased number of convictions and
the larger fines.
1t was emphasized by the COM
missioner that his deputies were not
invading private homes in search of
good liquor. Their efforts he said
are directed toward the larger moon
sinners. Many of those are found
operating their stills in homes, a fact
which caused Mr.. Smith to advise
that any attempt to amend the
search and seizure section of the
Severson law might be fatal to its
effective enforcement
He said that he could ask but few
minor changes in that statute which
was in his opinion the most effective
enforcement measure in the nation.
He declared that this state was get
ting better results from its law than
any other.

BADGER WEALTH is
DIVERSIFIED
Various Industries of State Gives
Wisconsin Great Stability.

Madison, Wisconsin owes its
stability to the diversified character
of its industries, Burt Williams, tax
expert, official tax advisor for the
Wisconsin Bankers association. said
at a meeting of the convention of
Wisconsin Highway Commissioners
in the assembly chamber of the
capitol Wednesday night.
"A well known financial authority
made the announcement early in
1922 that during the previous year
there had been u banks that failed
in Minnesota; % in Texas; "a in
Iowa; % in Illinois; 81 in Nebraska;
81 in Montana; 81 in Oklahoma and
81 in North Dakota Mr.. Williams
said.
His complete list of figures show
cd that during that year Of 1921,
which was the time of great bust
ness depression throughout the Unit
ed States, that from % to rs banks
had failed in every state bordering on
the Mississippi river except the state
of Wisconsin, and in this Badger
state during that year not one bank
had closed its doors.
As it is generally understood that
the average bank reflects the bust
ness condition of a community, it is
certainly a remarkable tribute to
Wisconsin to consider that during
that period Of extreme financial de-
preston when banks we're failing in
large numbers in every state in this
entire northwest, that the internal
conditions Of the commonwealth
were on such a stable basis that not
one banking institution failed.
"0ther states besides Wisconsin
have very close state supervision of
banks so that the lack of failures in
Wisconsin as compared with other
states cannot be attributed to lack Of
bank laws elsewhere. There is
just one fundamental reason why
Wisconsin stands out in this way in
wonderful business stability and that
IS because this state has more diver
sity Of business activities than any
other state in the northwest.
Wisconsin is a great agricultural
and a manufacturing state as are
other northwestern states but in both
Of these activities Wisconsin has
more diversity than any state that
can be compared with her In addi-
ton, Wisconsin possesses still an
other great business activity that
many of these middle west states do
not have at all and that is the tourist
and recreation business.
Milwaukee claims to have the
greatest diversity of manufacturing
Of any city in the United States no
matter what its size. Expression in
years gone by has made Milwaukee
famous for the product Of beer, but
there is one soap factory in Mil
waulee, the Paimolive company,
which last year sold three-fourths Of
all the toilet soap in the United
States and Canada, and its total pro-
duct was almost as much as the en-
tire product of all the Milwaukee
breweries the greatest year Of the
brewery industry"

DIVORCE TAX
THE LATEST
Assemblyman Mark, He of Bachelor
Tax Fame, Now Wants to Tax
Those Seeking Divorce.
SHOULD PAY SOMETHING
Believes That Couples Looking for
Legal Separation Should Be
Willing to Pay Something.

Assemblyman Mark of this city
seems to make speciality of pro-
posing tax measures affecting those
III or out of the matrimonial state.
Last year he introduced bill TO tax
bachelors. He got lot of fun out
of that bin and also was showered
with the wrath of the bachelors in
the state Now he comes to the
front with bill intended to make
couples seeking divorce pay some
thing to the state for the privilege,
as witnessed in the following story
published in newspapers under
Madison date line;
A divorce tax" is the latest plan
proposed in the legislature to raise
money for the state
The author of the bill is Assembly
man II. NJ. Mark, Hurley, who at the
last session Of the legislature brought
the wrath Of thousands of Wiscon-
sins unmarried men down on his
head by proposing $40 tax on
bachelors. The measure was de-
feated, but Mr. Mark believes his
latest idea will win approval.
Parties going into our courts in
search of legal liberation from the
bonds of matrimony should be will
ing to pay the state something in the
way of a bonus or tax" declared Mr.
Mark. "Under my bill, divorce
tax ranging from IS to $500, de-
pending upon the financial circum-
stances of the litigating parties,
would be assessed. No fee would be
less than SIS. The court would fix
the amount of tax to be paid
Another plan have in mind
would fix the cost Of getting "A di-
vorce at | per cent Of the parties
worth. A man worth a million
dollars would then pay the state $10,-
000 Many millionaires would con-
slider this charge most reasonable"
If divorce tax law is passed, Mr.
Mark believes many persons might
be deferred from seeking legal sep
aration.
There are several thousand di-
vorces granted in Wisconsin each
year 1t is estimated that a divorce
tax would enrich the state several
hundred thousand dollars. The
money would be turned into the
general school fund
In announcing his bill, Mr. Mark
let it be known that he is happily
married.

WEDNESDAY WAS A BIG DAY
AT CITY TREASURER'S
OFFICE
Last Day of the Month Witnesses
More Than $4,000 in Taxes Paid
Into City Treasury.

City Treasurer Reible's office was
q busy place all day Wednesday, the
last day for paying taxes without
mourning the two per cent penalty.
As usual many of the biggest tax
payers waited until the last day to
pay their taxes, with the result that
Treasurer Reible was virtually
swamped and unable to make out re-
ceipts fast enough.
Mr.. Reible reported late Thursday
afternoon that total Of $5l,151.75
was turned over to him on the last
day. The biggest share of this
amount, about $4,000, was paid by
the city's biggest taxpayers, the Har-
mony company and the Odanah Iron
company These companies paid
their taxes under protest, however,
and will probably seek refunds when
the action they have started TO have
set aside the assessment made by the
city assessor again comes up The
companies contend that their pro-
perties were assessed too high.
Previous to Wednesday total of
$54,352.76 was paid in taxes, which,
together with Wednesdays business,
brings the grand total to $105,504.-
81 In addition to the general tax
roll of Sill, 1855 the amounts to
be collected included normal income
tax of $4,042.02, surtax and
teachers retirement fund tax of
$4l7.09 and special assessments for
sidewalks, etc, of $693.3l. OF the
income tax about two-thrds is off
et,the actual cash being about ST.

Mr.. Reible has so far issued 40
dog licenses.

ways of 35 miles per hour would be
established in place of the present
limit of 80 miles per hour.

ed bill to aid civil service employees.
If passed, the bill would amend
the statute so that civil service en-
ployes would be given at least 60
days notice before being suspended
or discharged.
The bill would further provide
that, in event it was necessary to
reduce the number of employees that
due regard be taken to seniority
rights.

Eive Wolu.. rhi. wenL-

Iron county paid the bounty on
five wolves during the week, that
number of pelts having been pre-
scented at the county clerks office.
Arvie Kyro, of Iron Belt, started
the week by bringing in two on Mon
day Mr.. Kyro evidently makes a
business of trapping wolves and is
making good at it. He has been
paid bounty several times this winter,
Herman Wilson, of Montreal,
Nelson Ducharm, of Saxon, and
Peter DINNER, of Mercer, also re-
ceived wolf bounties this week.
Mr.. Ducharm uses dogs in hunting
wolves, the one brought in this week
having been shot ahead of the dogs.
What is believed to be record
was established in the month Of
January when Iron county paid
bounty on 10 wolves, or total Of
$500. This would indicate that
wolves are getting more numerous
or else the hunters and trappers are
getting wise to the ways of bagging
the willy animals.

CAMPAIGN is
MAKING PROGRESS
Booster Drive for Northern Wiscon-
sin Resort Association Advertis-
ing Fund Going Strong.
UPsoN GOES LOVER THE TOP"
Village of Epson Is First to Report
With More Than Its Quota.
Saxon Also Reports.

Chairman E. S. Hagen of the Iron
county committee named to have
charge of the campaign in behalf
of the Northern Wisconsin Resort
association reports that good pro-
gress is being made Although a
number of towns are yet to be heard
from it is believed that Iron coun-
tvs quota of $3.50 will be raised.
The little town of Epson in the
western part of the county was the
first to report and send in its share
of the fund. In fact more than the
quota was subscribed in Epson, the
little village going lover the top"
A quota of $50 had been assigned to
Epson and with the campaign but a
few hours old the village reported
with a subscription of $4,000.
Saxon was another outlying dis
trict heard from up to yesterday with
contribution of $4,000 and it is ex-
pected that more will be forthcoming.
Other districts are yet to be heard
from, but it is known that in most of
them the citizens have the right
spirit and before the end of the week
win probably report with full quotas.
The city of Hurley is coming
along in fine shape. Up to the time
Of this report $631.OO had been
turned in, with bright prospects for
a full quota from Hurley citizens.
Chairman Hagen is well pleased
with the responses so far and be-
ieves that within a few days he will
be able to report to headquarters at
Rhinelander that Iron county has
done its share and that its people are
strong for the Northern Wisconsin
Resort association, which has started
out to raise $4,000 to advertise to
the world the recreational, agri-
cultural and industrial opportunities
in Northern Wisconsin.

Northern Wisconsin Association"


That is the winning name in the
contest for name fer the Northern
Wisconsin Resort Association. The
judges had hard time deciding on
a name by which the organization for
all upper Wisconsin should be known
but finally decided that the name
Northern Wisconsin" had certain
advantages over all. The first one
to suggest this name was J. Fl. Keat-
ing of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company at Ashland. He will re-
ceiye prize of $25.
Many splendid descriptive names
were sent in, but in as much as the
work of this association would in
clude land settlement, industrial ex-
pansion, and other activities in
addition to attracting tourists, the
committee thought best to give it a
name that would be short and all-in-
elusive.
The best descriptive name was that
suggested by Miss Mayme l.. Sum-
mers of the Green Bay Elevator
Company of Green Bay, Northern

Freirht Rate.

The chief obstacle to agricultural
prosperity is high freight rates and
insufficient equipment to move the
crops.
The country people should get
clearly in mind the principal reason
why freight rates do not come down.
And that is that the railroad men,
through powerful unions succeed in
keeping their wages up TO a point
about twice as mach ri they were
getting before the war.
