February 81, 182s-Ic m.
uotations furnished by w. D. Hibs 4 Co
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-02-08

governor of Wisconsin said LET us get to-
gether, and see just what is the differences be-
tween this great industry and the state. Let
US see II there is not some common ground on
which industry and state government may
meet with view of having the opinions OF all
concerned considered. Let us state our case
fairly and let the other man state his case fair
ly. We do not believe that every man who
makes dollar is crook, an evader OF taxes,
and a destroyer of individualism.
THE state of Wisconsin wants to lift the
burden of taxes from people who are not able
to pay, and it wants to so encourage industry
and to develop it, and make it great organiza-
ton which can properly support the state as it
has done in the past We do not want to lose
industries through misunderstanding or thru
unfair legislation, but we want to encourage
the coming of more industries to Wisconsin,
and at the same time seek to have them come
with the idea that they will pay their share of
taxes and just little more"
If the governor had made such statement
there would have been a pilgrimage of men to
Madison. 1t would have been made up of men
who have faith in the people of Wisconsin, who
love the people of Wisconsin, and who would
want to reward their loyalty as workers by the
upbuilding of the industries of the state. It
would be bunch of men who would be ready
and willing to lay their cards face up on the
table and without seeking any private advant-
age to seek to make laws for Wisconsin which
would encourage rather than discourage indus
try, and which would fill the treasury of the
state to over flowing with, money taken from
contented men who would build up in Wiscon-
sin, state second to none in the union of
states.
Hatred and abuse may be worth something
in capitalizing discomfort during a political
campaign, but it can never be counted on to
build up state or provide for the happiness
of it's people.
The Governor has lost one opportunity to
show that he was bigger man than most
people think he is. Possibly he may have
another chance.

A STATE MOUNTED POLICE FORCE

It is to be hoped that Kenosha people will use
such influence as they may have at Madison,
to get real consideratioH~for the bill which
proposes to organize state mounted police
force.
Making the highways free from danger is
one of the biggest things that any state can
do. Giving to the people the protection which
comes from men who patrol highways with a
view of serving the people is something which
would be very valuable Organized patrolling
of the highways of Wisconsin would mean or
ganized effort to eradicate the dangers of the
road. It would mean concerted effort to aid
in the enforcement of every law on the statute
books. 1t would mean an organization which
could be depended on to be at the right place,
at the right time, and it would stop the leaks,
and greatly reduce the chances of criminals to
escape detection and punishment.
When you make it hard for criminals to es-
cape, you limit crime.
State police are selected men who are en-
ployed with view of service rather than to
get political jobs. A speaker In Kenosha short
time ago, in discussing this very matter said,
Politicians want positions not jobs. It is just
on this account that it is hard to make state
police force a political organization.
There have been flood of bills at Madison
for the reduction or the elimination Of the Wis
consin National Guard Certainly some of the
men who feel that this organization should be
abolished, would be willing to see the desirable
ity of converting it or at least some of it's mem
bers in to a state police force. Any service
that could be done by national guard, could
be done by a properly organized state police
force.
The contribution which the national guard
of Wisconsin made to the war history of Wis
consin, was notable-eyen glorious. It can be
expected that if call were made for men, that
state police department, made up of trained
and disciplined men would be ready to offer
the same kind Of service.
The proposition is one which should enlist
the best thought of the people of Wisconsin
Other states have proved the value of state
police force, and Wisconsin should not be slow
to profit from their experience.

LIFE AND CHARACTER READING.
February ),

People born on this date are usually
too particular about personal appear
ances and sometimes take great risks
to procure for themselves the things
which they desire. They often bury
their higher selves by means of dog
matte materialism, and routine habit
which leads to gloomy and useless
life.
Many people born on this date will
find that they are afflicted with rheu-
matism, pains in the head and the feet
and low circulation. Many of these
things may be overcome when these
people realize that the mind is master
of the body, and the body is. merely the
servant.
The governing sign is Aquarius, and
the planet is Uranus. The birthstone
is a sapphire and the astral colors are
nile green, pink, and blue.
