HOMES GET EXEMPTION
Taxes on Homes in Wiscon-
sin Said Will Take Big
Slump.

Taxes on all homes in Wiscon-
sin take a decided slump starting
the first of the year 1924, with the
new law exempting all homes
from taxation up to S500.00
The law provides for the exemp-
ton on Improvements of home
steads but in view Of the fact that
all homes practically are valued
over that figure the exemption ap-
plies to every mans demicile.
The law means a shifting of
$172,500,0O0 in taxes from Wiscon-
sin homes to other property ac-
cording to figures by John Mar
rington, counsel for the state tax
commission.
AS an example, a home in Mad
ison with the local tax rate which
is valued at $500 pay about 500
in taxes this year. With the ex-
emption next year the same home
on the same basis will pay about
$87.
With the state average of two
per cent tax rate it is estimated
that home owners will be relieved
in taxes to the extent of S35, $50,
900. The total state assessment
is about $4,100,000,000.
The homestead exemption bill
first made it's appearance at the
last session of the legislature with
provisions for exempting home
steads to the extent of three times
the amount finally provided. 1t
was strongly supported by the pro-
gressives in both houses of the
legislature. A homestead exemp-
ton clause was one of the planks
in Gov. John ]. Blaine's platform.
It is estimated that about two
thirds of the Wisconsin people
own their own homes a total of
about 345,000 families.

A SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Three Lakes Girl Given a
Scholarship Through Ef-
forts of Camp Idyle Wyld.

Through the efforts of Camp
Idyle Wyld, the girls camp at
Three Lakes, a scholarship to Law
renee College at Appleton has
been given Miss Sylvia Shymenski,
high school graduate of the
Three Lakes schools and a resi-
dent of that village.
Camp Idyle Wyld, operated by
Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Bishop of
Three Lakes, recently inaugurated
a fund which they term a Scholar
ship and Loan Fund. The money
for this is secured in divers ways
by contributions and by entertain
ments put on by the girls of the
camp during the summer months.
Another method is that of taking
subscriptions to magazines and
periodicals from people who usual
ly subscribe through some agency
or else in their individual subscrip-
tions. Commissions secured from
these subscriptions are placed in
this scholarship fund and this is
given some young lady, not neces-
sarily from Three Lakes, but from
any point in this section of the
state. A college course is there
fore granted and the fund assists
in paying tuition and board.
The first scholarship given by
Camp Idyle Wyld, was to Miss
Shymenski on Christmas. This
young lady, graduating from the
Three Lakes high school last year,
is now at Lawrence College, going
down to commence her studies the
first of the year.
To any person who wishes to
subscribe to a magazine, period
cal or newspaper, here is chance
to assist the young folks in get
ting an education. Send in your
subscription to- Camp Idyle Wyld,
Three Lakes, Wis, together with
amount and articles wanted, and
your helping thus will give some
young person chance to secure
better education.
