Compromise Auto Tax
Bill is Likely to Pass
GRADUATED LICENSE FEE TWO
CENT GAS TAX TO RAISE THE
FUNDS PLAN

Solution of the automobile highway
problem, which has been pending be-
fore the legislature for five months,
now seems probable, and the senate is
expected to pass a compromise high
way bill early next week.
A graduated auto license tax from
SO to $26, and gasoline tax OF 2
sca. Is a gallon, are the only provisions
which will be Incorporated in the new
measure
AT. last weeks session of the senate
the plan of a straight $40 automobile
tax was abandoned, as was the pro
posal of a graduated weight tax rang
ing from SO to $45.
One Of the important provisions OF
the Polakowski highway bill provided
for the property assessment of auto
mobiles on 2 per cent basis by the
state. This fund, which would amount
to upward of $5,O00,OOO would be col
Iected by the state, but would be re-
turned to the localities. Members of
the highway committee who had been
comforting with senators outside of the
committee, had reached the conclusion
that the automobile should be taxed as
personal property, locally, and that
the state should not interfere with the
taxing problem.
The graduated license of $40 to $26
will produce approximately $5,500,0OO
in revenue. The gasoline tax of 2
cents a gallon will produce 100000
Under the terms of the highway bill
now being agreed upon, the state will
receive rs per cent of the total revenue
and Is per cent will be returned to
the counties and local units. This is
practically the same distribution as
under the present law.
AS a result of increasing the pres
ent license fee and imposing the gas
tax, it is proposed to place $500 addi-
tional miles of local highways under
the trunk highway system. There are
1900 miles of highways in the state.
At the present time, $500 miles are
in the trunk line system, supervised
and cared for by the state. The new
highway bill would increase the trunk
line highways under state control to
10000 miles.
If this bill passes, as now seems like
ly committee will be appointed to
cooperate with the highway commits
sion in selecting the additional mile
age to be developed under the state
trunk highway plan. This mileage will
be allotted proportionately to each of
the counties.

RED CROSS TO REoReANIzE

Plans are under way for the reoT-
ganization of the Villas County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross, which
had such an enviable record during
the World War, but which has had no
active membership for two or three
years.
Miss Elenos D. Myers, Field Repre-
sentative of the American Red Cross,
from the Central Division Headquar-
tiers in Chicago was in Eagle River
May End and 3rd, and talked with a
number of representative people, all
of whom agreed that the local chapter
should be continued, so that the funds
now on hand, may be retained for local
uses.
Chas. Wiegand, Secretary of the
chapter, will have charge of the renew
al of memberships. A meeting Of
these members will be held at an early
daIe, when Officers will be elected. A.
]. Austin, County Superintendent of
ScnOOlS Will nave charge Oh the FeOr-
ganization of the Junior Red Cross.
In addition to the work for disabled
ex-service men and relief work in time
of disaster, the Red Cross has wide
program of Public Health Work, which
has recently been officially endorsed
by the American Medical Association.
OF particular interest to residents of
Villas County with its numerous lakes
and river. is the Life sayig and Water
First Aid work Of the Red Cross, and
it is hoped that Eagle River may
have the services some time this sum-
mer of Mr. c. A. Hyatt, Director of

DESTROYED BY FIRE

The fine farm residence Of Mr. and
Mrs Robert Kubinek on the Phelps
road about six miles from Eagle River
in the town of Washington was totally
destroyed by fire Saturday night to-
gether with all contents including a
great deal of valuable furniture. The
family with most of the neighborhood
had gone to a party at the H. H. Smith
home and the news of the loss by
telephone was the first knowledge
received by Mr. Kubinek and his wife
It is supposed that the fire started
from an incubator heat by the usual
kerosene lamp. The house was nearly
new one and built shortly after the
Kubineks moved here from Illinois.
The oss is partly covered by insurance
but not in sufficient amount to defray
the loss sustained.

ALLIES OF INDUSTRY

The public utility industry has be-
come so large and public demands sc
exacting that the industry as whole
has probably the best management of
any line of industrial activity, and fur
nishes service to the consumer on the
smallest margin of profit.
Public Utilities are taking the pub
lie into. their confidence and asking
the people to share with them in own
ership of securities and earnings, thus
developing the customer ownership
idea.
To illustrate the magnitude of i'm
provements that are being made in
the utility field for the benefit of the
public, it is interesting to note the
cable that is being laid from Chicago
to New York by the Bell Telephone
System at a cost of $35,0OO,OOO.
Storms that rage in the winter will
not interfere with this cable. The con-
venience to the public will be inestim-
able but little will the man making a
telephone call realize the amount of
money that was spent to perfect the
service rendered to him.
And this is just one cable from New
York to Chicago Electric companies
are making similar improvements and
the citizens today has at his com
mand for a few dollars month, con-
veniences in his home or office which
literally represent billions OF dollars
worth of equipment. The very ele-
ments themselves have been harness
ed and tanned to do the bidding of man
kind.
E. K. Hall, an authority on public
relations in the United States, says:
Public utilities are more than allies
of industry. They are agencies around
which and on which modern civiliza-
ton and business and commerce is
built

New Law Gives More
Power to Go. Boards
GOVERNOR SAYS 1T DOESN'T GO
FAR ENOUGH TAKES RAP AT
JUDGES

County boards now have the final
say-so as to whether or not their coun-
ty shall accept state-a appointed county
officials such as county health nurse
and farm agents.
Governor John ]. Blaine today sign
ed the bill by Assemblyman Clinton G.
Price, Juneau county, making a major
ity of the county board the condition
upon which these state agents will be
accepted.
The governor for the first time this
year in signing a bill gave out a state
ment of explanation in which he de-
clared that the bill did not go far
enough in the direction Of "home rule
for counties in that judicial offices
were excepted. He said:
The principle established by this
bin is vital to nome rule for counties,
respecting their own local affairs. The
full right of the respective counties to
govern their own purely local affairs
has not been granted by this bill. It
was my position that all county Off
GERS, agents or employees created by
any special or general provision of
law Except the county officers, county
judge and county superintendent of
schools constituting the constitutional
county officers) should be under the
control and direction of the people of
the respective counties, through their
legislative body or county board.
However, judicial officers have been
excepted from this bill. l know of no
reason why judicial officers, except
the constitutional judicial officers,
should be excepted from the law. In
ferior courts have grown up in this
state to such an extent that they have
become an undue burden upon the
taxpayers. If a county wants to have
a municipal or inferior court, it should
have the right to have, but local de
mands should be left to local authority
Counties should not be coerced.
The people pay the taxes They are
competent to know what they need
or desire, and greatly regret that the
exception was made.
However while the full rights OF
home rule respecting purely local mat
tiers has been denied to counties. this
bill is in the right direction, and the
contest will go on until the absolute
unlimited right of the people to con
duct their own government, respect,
ing their own local affairs is attained
