SOAKING THE CITIES.

Every city in Wisconsin which has any in
terest in its future development should have
an active lobby\at Madison this week to fight
for its rights.
There is no desire of drawing sort of a
SMason and Dixon" line to divide the cities Of
the state from the rural districts and there is
no danger Of such line producing civil war
but the general tendency of the state legisla-
ture to take the financial support of the cities
and spend it in thefeountry prevents a grave
menace to the future of the cities. People G.
siding in cities of Wisconsin have become accus
toned to paying the lions share of the taxes
levied and for years they have been paying for
groads and other improvements in rural towns
without whimper
They have no idea. of weching now but they
khave an idea that the time has come to insist
on some consideration being given to the cities.
The Blaine Tax bill proposes to take a great
proportion of the income tax collected away
from the city and turn it over to the state.
The Highway law proposes to levy tax of
two cents a gallon on gasoline, most of which
will be brought by city people, and divert prac-
tically the entire fund to the rural comlnuni-
ties for the maintenance and building of high
ways. Certainly the people Of the cities want
to pay toll for the use of the highways, in the
rural districts. In Kenosha county they have
been paying over sixty-five per cent of the

bring intoxicants within the American

their own use.
France has protested. oother Eu-

do SO. They talk of reprisals, too.
President Harding is quoted in, some
newspapers as saying the law will
be enforced with consideration for
other nations"
The Supreme Court also holds Ameri-

pected to ask Congress to change the
law so that they can't.

The wisdom of the American refusal to have

The wisdom of the American refusal to have
any official dealings with the soviet govern
m6nt is being realized by Great Britain. Brit
ish attempts to establish commercial relations
with Russia have not been satisfactory, and
continued insolance from soviet officials has
inspired sharp note from London to Moscow
that is likely to end further exchanges between
the two countries. Great Britain has found
itself compelled to alter it's friendly policy to-
ward Russia, but the United States stands just
where it has stood from the beginning. There
will be no change in the American attitude I'M
til Russia conforms to-the fundamentals of
civilized government.

price was $9551. In May, 1920, you
could have bought at $66.82. The
