Iron County Farmer
Takes First Prize
Frank Ruks, Saxon Farmer, Blue
Ribbon Winner with His Exhibit
of Field Green Peas.

Frank Ruks. farmer near Saxon,
carried off first honors with his
exhibit of field green peas at the
grain show at Ashland ,his week.
The grain show was declared a big
success, both from the standpoint of
the number of exhibitors and from
the interest shown by Northern Wis
cOnsm farmers. Agricultural ex-
perts from the University of Wis
eonsin were very much pleased with
the exhibits and spoke favorably Of
the work done by farmers in this
section Of the state the past year.
The counties represented at the
show were Ashland, Barron. Bay
field, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Oneida,
Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Washburn and
Villas. There were 1875 exhibitors

Rotary Snow Plow
Goes Into Action
Opportunity Presented Early to Try
Out Snow Removal Equipment
Purchased by County

The snow storm the fore part of
the week furnished opportunity to
try out the rotary snow pillow, the
purchase of which was authorized
at the last meeting of the county
board of supervisors and which ar
rived in time to get into action in an
effort to free the roads from the
first heavy snowfall of the season.
During the week the rotary has
been used on the main highways
running into Hurley and has done
some good work in opening them. A
wing type of pillow was also authoriz-
ed purchased but the machine has not
arrived yet With the two types of
plows it is believed that a fair degree
of success may be attained in the
county's snow removal problem this
winter. The rotary pillow is de-
signed to do the business in filled in
places in the highway where it is not
feasible to use the wing type of
pillow.
In connection with the snow
removal problem method used by
Ashland county will be watched with
interest, according to the following
from Wednesdays Ashland Press:
With the road from Superior to
Hurley open, and from Ashland to
Mellen, and the road crews busy
opening the Mellen to Park Falls
stretch and the Swede avenue and
Sanborn avenue link, the new steel
beam method of reating snow
blocked roads devised by County
Road Commissioner w. f. Dillon is
proving an extraordinary success.
By tomorrow night the road crew
will have the road open all the way
to Park Falls, despite the fact that
the recent storm was one of the
meanest to handle which has come
for years.

STANDING ROOM ONLY" RULE
AT STATE CAPITOL
Found Inadequate After Ten
Years Service.

Madison-The S. R. o. sign has
been hung on the State Capitol in
Madison. Standing room only is
now the rule there.
Persistent rumor has it that the
coming legislature will be asked to
authorize appropriations for the
erection of an office building to
house state departments now
quartered in rented office space
about the city. Such building
would cost at least million dollars
to huild at present peak prices
another million added to the tax
payers already heavy burden.
The magnificent seven million
dollar statehouse, completed less
than ten years ago, is already
inadequate-though its architects
certainly planned to meet future
needs and normal growth. Perhaps
the fault lies in too muchgovern-
ment; not in too little room.
The claw factory on the hill'' has
been working overtime. Result:
the statehouse is now filled beyond
capacity with boards and bureaus and
commissions. With more new ones
being established each year, pro-
vision of some sort must be made for
the mushroom crop of new employees
if this policy is to persist. The state
already pays more than $4,000 a
year rent for overflow office space
in Madison.
Outside offices became necessary
soon after the capitol was completed.
Since 1921 the state has been paying
S1100 per month rent for an entire
three story building, designed and
built as a garage, but remodelled in
to an office building at the tax
payers expense.
Now comes the talk of new
office building, or perhaps the pur-
chase of the Beaver Building valued
at 1854, 6O0-but not for sale at
that price. Where viii it all end?
Taxpayers generally feel that the
sane solution lies in reduction in the
public payroll rather than in further
outlay of the states money for a
new office building to house more
employees. Wisconsin Manufactures

Normal Income Taxes
Will Show Increase
Wisconsin Corporations Will Pay
More Than Million More
Normal Income Taxes.

Wisconsin win collect
$1,250,000 more in normal income
taxes on corporations than it die
last year. the state tax commission
revealed today.
Normal income taxes on corpora.
tons on the 1924 roll totalled S.
7GG,939.25. compared with $7,515.-
$40 collected from the 1928 roll
These were taxes on 1928 and 1922
incomes, respectively. The taxes on
1923 income are payable next
month.
The total corporation income as
sessed this year was $143, 351,01S as
against $3.50, 990,003 last year.
Surtaxes this year bring the total
revenue to $10,304, 88105, whereas
the aggregate taxes and surtaxes on
the 1923 roll were $9,596,302.
The soldiers bonus surtax in
creased from $92,159 in 1928 to
0,6O1.66 this year; the soldiers
educational surtax decreased from
$873,S33 to $97 ,268.76, and the
teachers retirement fund tax rose
from $1,112,0O0 to $1,320.071.38.
Back income placed in this years
roll as a result of field audits COW
ering the last nine years amounted
to $945,249.01. The total back in
come assessed was S8,178,683. Of
these revenues, $698, 729.37 goes to
the normal income tax, $117,398 to
the bonus surtax, 3,S00.62 to the
educational surtax and $35, 32102 to
the teachers retirement fund.
Ninety-five per cent of the back
taxes had been unpaid on account
of mistakes or misunderstanding,
Secretary A. J. Myrland of the tax
commission said. A very small pro-
portion was avoided purposely,
Myrland declared.
The commission is now working
on the income tax roll by counties
and will have it ready in a few days,
it was said.

One Car to Every
Five Persons
Ia Five Years the Number of Auto.
in Wisconsin Has More Than
Doubled.

As of December LIST, the total
number of automobiles licensed by
Secretary of State Fred thinner
man was Ats, 675 and the number of
trucks 60,239. a total of 524,914.
Five years ago the total mum Der of
automobiles and trucks licensed was
236,2g0, which means that in five
Years the number is more than
doubled, the increase being over
1900.
These figures were given out to-
day BY F. A. Cannon, Executive Sec
retary Of the Good Roads Associa-
ton of Wisconsin, in an analysis of
motor vehicle statistics for the last
five years. Continuing the analysis
the statement said:
As the population of Wisconsin is,
in round numbers 100000 people,
it means there is one car to every 5
people in Wisconsin. If evenly dis
tributed it would mean one car to
every family. Back in 1905, 20
years ago, 1892 motor vehicles were
licensed in Wisconsin. Green county
as usual leads, there being one
mOtor-vehicle to every 3 people
Assuming a value of $500 for each
motor vehicle, which is a low one as
trucks are included, the total invest
ed in motor vehicles by people of
Wisconsin is 1852, 100000, far more
than all the federal and state taxes
paid by the people of Wisconsin.
Especially significant is the in
crease in the number of motor
trucks IN 1919, 1O,8S0 motor
trucks were licensed. This year the
number is 5O,239 or almost 5 times
as many. Commenting on these
figures Mr.. Cannon said
There is one motor vehicle to
every people in Wisconsin; one to
every rs in the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland; one to
every 80 in France; to every 400 in
Germany; to every $40 in Italy; to
every 100 in Switzerland.
Wisconsin has more motor vehi-
ces than any country in the world
except the United Kingdom France
with it's population of approximate
i 100000 people has 451, 812 mo-
Tor vehicles, Germany ISL 900 and

The big four-wheel-drive Nash
truck and fourteen foot cteel l.
beam which it drags behind it is
working today finishing up the
White River hill piece on Highway
10.
Instead of ploughing up the snow
as was formerly done, the crews
this year have been put to dragging
the snow with the beam This grad
ually freezes the surface and pro-
vides perfect traction. The state
highway commission has asked Com
missioner Dillon for full report of
this new way of treating drifted
snow.
In opening up the Ashland-Mell
stretch Tuesday and yesterday, the
crew encountered a stretch near
Highbridge with drifts nine feet
deep. The truck was sent into them,
and the beam dragged the snow
into hard surface, so that the trav-
ell is safe there now The expense
of removing such vast amount Of
snow would of course have been pro
hibitive.
The roads will be kept open until
after the holidays to facilitate shop
ping, and it is possible that if there
is not another heavy storm they may
be kept open all winter.
Mr.. Dillon will present to the eoun-
ty board in February complete re-
port of the cost of such operations
as a basis of the county working out
some solution of the winter traffic
problem.
