THE ROAD

The spring is the season when
roads are fright and horses
plod wheezin' from morning till
night The autos stand thick in
the highways and lanes they're
certain to stick when old Jupe
starts the rain. Full many a dollar
we spend on the roads and yet our
wains waller with half-measure
loads. We ought to have pixies that
are smooth, clean and hard, the kind
each man likes, be he granger or
bard; for we pay out the scads
by the bushel and peck, the coin of
our dads, both in cash and in check.
But a few drops of rain-or quart
to the rod-maRes travel bane and
our road work n fraud. Through
mud and through mire We are forced
to progress and our anger ard ire
get not wonderfullyless Oh, men,
let us rise in our majesty great,
forgetting our sighs at the hardness
of fate. and insist strong and stout
to each road-building crew that
Wen turn EN- all out if they don't
build a few little roads that will
last through a gentle spring rain
for the roads of the past have been
futile and vain. Perhaps, no one
knows, they viii bark to our plea /;
perhaps, thumb to nose, they will
answer "Hee, hee

BIG TAXPAYERS HAVE NOT
PAID YET
Mining Companies and Ice Com
pany Withholding Tax Money;
Matter May Be Taken
Into Court.

Up to yesterday City Treasurer
Reible reported that taxes to the
amount of $72,44261 had been
collected. Included in this amount
is income taxes of $6,026.36 and
surfaces of $3,09422.
A good portion of the total city
tax Of about $123, 900, with an in
come offset Of about $4,000, remains
uncollected, according to Mr.. Reible,
although tax money continues to
come in About $400 was collect
ed Thursday. The penalty of 2 per
cent on all tax collections is now be-
ing imposed Saturday was the last
day for paying taxes and escaping
the penalty.
Some of the heaviest taxpayers,
including the mining companies and
the Chequamegon Ice company, have
not yet paid their taxes. This is
believed to indicate that they will
take their tax matters into court
and that the city will be made
defendant in a suit, thus further
entangling the city of Hurley's tax
matters. The action of the city
board of review in sustaining the re-
assessment as made by Geo. Bubar
in the face of the reductions made by
the special board of review in the
assessments of the mining companies
and the ice company is believed to be
the reason.

If the three-year soft coal miners
wage scale contract, approved at
Jacksonville, Florida, for the central
competitive field, really becomes
binding, it ought to bring peace in
the coal industry as we'll as peace of
mind to the consumer.
During the war and ever since that
hectic period, we have been in sus-
pense from year to year, never
knowing when the coal miners would
throw up the sponge and leave us
flat.
The old plan in the central COM
petitive field was a one-year CON
tract The new scheme is to make
the contract binding for three years.
II ought to give some stability to the
coal industry and also have the eff
feet of settling prices.
Other coal mining states will I'M
doubtedly follow the lead of the
central states miners and operators
in signing three-year contracts.
Why shouldn't coal mining be a
peaceful occupation?

BANKERS DIRECT
WAR ON CROOKS
Rising Crime Wave and Attacks
on Banks Called Forth In
creased Measures of
Defense.

Criminal activities against banks
have reached unprecedented proper
tions in recent months, according to
a report made to the American Bank.
ers Association by its Protective
Committee, which directs the work of
the Association aimed to combat GRIM
inal operations against banks.
"Sharp increases in crime perpe-
trated against banks definitely prove
that instead of being broken the
crime wave has risen to heights here
tofore unknown to the banking fra
ternity," the report said. Strangers
continue to trick or otherwise in
veigle unsuspecting banks into max
ing generous contributions to their
cause-a terrific toll which defies the
imagination. Bank burglars and hold
up men have apparently redoubled
their activities during the last six
months. The number of criminals
plying their trade in this field has
grown to such proportions that there
is now a fair sized army comprising
this more desperate type of criminal,
specializing against banks"
Don't cash checks for strangers"
is the warning emphasized by the
Committee in view of the situation.
1t adds:
I'VE are gratified to report favora.
BILE results in a good proportion Of
cases investigated, which are due to
the nationwide activities of our. de-
tective agents through their staff of
specialists in bank crimes. In Mon
tana two fearless, well organized
bands of professional yeggmen attack
ed more than a score of banks with
such reckless abandon that the situa-
tion seemed beyond control. Realiz-
ing that conditions demanded prompt
and drastic treatment, trained crew
OF operatives were delegated to con-
duct a special investigation through
out the state. Nineteen men and two
women were arrested. OF these four
already are serving sentences, three
are on trial, four are awaiting trial
and the rest were freed for lack of
evidence.
"A similar roundup was carried out
in Oklahoma. Conditions in other
states similarly bad were investi-
gated and with the cooperation of To-
cal, state and federal authorities and
the co-ordinated activities of men,
bers the percentage of arrests and
convictions has materially increased"
The report pointed out that figures
covering bank burglaries over a Pc
riod Of thirty years showed that 1909
banks, members of the Association
and entitled to its protective services.
have been attacked, suffering losses
aggregating $1.196,000. while nom
members to the number of 1857 were
burglarized and suffered $4,250, 900 in
losses. The point was also brought
out that there are only half as many
non-members as members, so that
these losses among them represent an
excessively high rate as compared
with members.
