TWO MORE DOGS POISONED

The pet Boston bull of Mr.. and Mrs.
Irving Minton died from poison Satur-
day night and Sunday, Alfred Knauer
of the Commercial hotel lost a valu-
able Dasch hound by the same means.
Both were perfectly harmless dogs,
highly cherished by their respective
owners. Several pieces Of poisoned
meat have been picked up on the
streets of Eagle River within the past
ten days and if the perpetrator should
be found, he will find that there is a
severe penalty attached to such crimi
nal actions as not only dogs but small
children are in danger as long as the
poison is distributed in, the promis-
cuous manner of late.

VALUABLE IN A FEW YEARS

D. Frizzell of Phelps was in town on
business Tuesday. Mr. Frizzell is one
of many new farmers northeast of the
village of Phelps on the Iron River
road who are fast bringing that sec
ton of the county into a section of
well improved farms that are going
to within few years be large por-
ton of the county's most valuable ter
ritory as the soil is the finest and
every acre placed under cultivation
will produce wonderful crops any
year.

March 10, 20 and Il are the dates
set for the Northern Athletic League
basketball tournament to be held in
the high school gymnasium at Eagle
River. High school teams from Gran
don, Laona, Gillett, Surfing, Wabeno
Goodman, Argonne and Eagle River
will compete.
AS the tournament is something new
for Eagle River we publish below the
method of drawing for position, the
contract agreed to by the competing
schools and the schedule of games
twelve in alb which will be played
here.
The tournament will bring fifty or
sixty boys and school officials here
and in order to make it financial
success. the cooperation of every one
is needed. Admission has been set at
35c for the afternoons and SOC for the
evenings. Season tickets, emitting the
holder to see all games sell at $1.75.
The high school is counting on your
patronage to put the tournament over
Eagle River Union Free High School
Eagle River, Wisconsin.
February 30, 1924.
My dear Principal: After looking
over the answers to the questionnair
es which / sent out recently in re-
spect to the Tournament, find that
there is very little uniformity in opin-
ion in regard to it; SO | thought that
the local committee could take mat.
tiers into their own hands to some ex.
tent and do the deciding in respect
to the schedule of games etc.
We have decided upon the following
plan:-In the first place the teams
will be drawn by number. A package
containing eight envelopes with card
and carbon paper inside of each will
be sent in rotation to all the schools
interested. These envelopes will be
sealed and the card inside of it will
each contain number. Each princi-
pal is requested to write the name of
his school on the face of one of the
envelopes and then forward the pack
age to any school whose name has
not yet appeared upon one of the en-
velopes. This method has been sug-
gested by Mr.. Minor of Crandon and
is sanctioned by me as it relieves me
of any responsibility in the matter OF
drawing numbers.
The Tournament will be held al
Eagle River commencing the evening
of March 10, March 20, and 81. AS you
note by the schedule inclosed this
will give. us an opportunity to play
twelve games and we can follow the
regular schedule laid down by the w
I. A. A. in the District Tournament
Besides this plan will not make it nee
essary for any school to be here any
sooner than Wednesday afternoon al
which time they would have had to al
rive any way in order to make two
full days of the Tournament, so
thought it best to play the first three
games on Wednesday evening. The
train arrives at Eagle River at a lit
tie after o'clock. 1t is my plan tc

Thirty-Six States Now
Have the Gasoline Tax
CANNON WRITES SECOND ARTI-
GLE OF SERIES ON MERITS
OF GASOLINE TAX

A tax on gasoline, effective in Ne
vada for less than year, has netted
the State more than $4,000. This
money is used for highway improve.
ment.
The gasoline tax to finance high
way work has been adopted in SO OF
the 48 states. Several other states
are considering it. Those which adop
ted it some years ago are increasing
the rates. There must be reason
for this tendency.
The reason is found in the increas.
ing expenditures for highway i'm
provement and the increasing tax
burden. In the past ninety per cent
of the cost of road improvement was
paid for by general property tax
personal and real property, the farms
the homes, the business houses. The
general property tax has reached the
peak point and protests are being
heard on every hand Yet at the
same time there is a demand for
road construction and maintenance.
>The number of motor vehicles is in.
creasing at an amazing rate. Today
there are 100000 motor cars in Wis
consin. Ten years ago there were
$4,000, and five years ago 2O1, 1000.
The Increase has been faster than
anyone dared to predict.
To show what this means it may
be said that travelling 5000 miles a
year, the 100000 motor vehicles in
Wisconsin will travel a total of two
billion, three hundred million miles.
while the railroad mileage is not over
fifty million miles, The total weight
of these motor vehicles on the roads
Of Wisconsin, is over 100000 tons /.
every automobile in Wisconsin back
ed up to filling tank and took on 10
gallons of gasoline, it would mean
100000 gallons, which at Csc a ga1
Ion, would make the total bill $780,
900.
Here we have a problem new
form Of highway traffic running at a
highly destructive speed and demand

operation and on the other hand, the
general property tax which has bee I

Some one might suggest that we cut
road building to the bone II we did
the motor vehicle owners would very
quickly find that the cost of the oper-
alton of their cars on bad roads
would be far more than the taxes
they pay for good roads.
AS an instance, experiments made
show that where it costs $500 for
the gasoline used in a motor vehicle
running given mileage on an ordin.
airy dirt road, it cost $3.50 on gravel
and $1OO on paved road. Expert
ments with loaded trucks show that
these trucks ran 111s miles on gal
lon of gasoline on paved road, and
SIC on a dirt road. And remember
that gasoline consumption is not the
only factor of cost.
We needed the roads to operate
our automobiles with economy and
yet the property taxes which had
paid for them was beginning tc

Others sad farewells are saying,

Some are coming, others going
Some will laugh while others cry;
His emotion each is showing,

No Action on Federal
Income Tax Reduction
TAXPAYERS DELAYED-IN HOPE
OF REDUCTIONS IN ALL IN
COME TAXES
BY Robert Fuller


Another Income Tax return is at
hand. March 15th-a week from Sat
urday-is the day. Perhaps not since
the Income Tax law became effective
has there been. as wide and general
delay in making returns as this year
The cause of this was, of course, tn
expectations of the taxpayers that Con-
gress would have before this time pass
ed a measure allowing a reduction on
1923 incomes. However, the fight in
Congress in attempting to revise the
MELONS plan 50 gummed up the
works that the situation is as yet I'M
changed although it is generally 40
cepted that a joint resolution covering
reduction OF 1923 incomes will be
passed before June Is, legislation eff
fecting 1924 incomes will likely be
postponed until the fall session.
Pay in InstalIments
The layman is particularly interests
led in what he shall do now in regard
to his. 1923 income returns. Despite
the wide circulation Of recommends
tions covering this by the Internal
Revenue Department, the fact remains
that offices in every town and state
are being besieged by horde of tax
payers in a last mad rush and scram-
BILE to get first hand information and
make returns.
Briefly, this is the situation. Reduc
lions on 1928 incomes will be effec-
tive some time during the present
year
Taxpayers are being advised to
make returns on 1923 incomes in the
regular way, but to pay the tax in
quarterly instalIments- paying the
first quarter when return is made
on or before March 15
How Rebate May Come
Then it is pointed out, when Con,
gress does pass a joint resolution or
amendment to the present revenue act
(whther it is this spring or in the fall
session. the taxpayer will be permit
ted to omit one of the quarterly install
ments-or the one-fourth reduction
which has been promised and seems
assured
If the joint resolution is passed be-
fore June 18th, taxpayers may be per
mitted to omit payment on the second
installment though regulations will
likely be attached so as not to affect
the regular flow of funds to the Treas,
ury Department.
1t is possible, of course, that Com
gress during this session will yet snap
into action and pass tax legislation
covering both 1928 and 1924 incomes
and which will be acceptable to both
Republicans. Democrats, as well as
the Administration.
Congress Knows Temper
However, indications are that the
political manoeuvering by both parties
will result in bill which will be stop
ped by the Presidents veto, and nee
essarily thrown back for compromise,
revision and passage at the Autumn
session.
Congress knows full well that tax
payers will be an ugly frame OF
mind at the fall election booths if the,
fail to get reduction on their 1923 in
comes. Both parties have promised
the reduction, so in making returns
this month taxpayers can figure that
they will pay eventually one-fourth
less than is shown on their returns.

Second Team Shows Up
Well Against EIChO Hi
LOCALS FINISH SEASON WITH
OVERWHELMING SCORE
AGAINST ELcHo

Using the entire second team in
the first half and, finishing up the
game with the first team, Eagle
f11gh romped away with the game
from Elcho High on the home floor
Friday night by the score of 43 to 4.
Giese. Sanderson, Dummy" Bent,
Gloyd, Rogers, John Hall and Felt,
made up the second team that took
the floor in the first half against the
visitors. AS was to be expected from
a bunch that has never played as a
team together before, the locals play
ing was bit ragged, but at that they
showed several flashes of real team
work and at the quarter had scored 4
to Elcho's zero. In the second quarter
the locals doubled their end OF it
while the visitors were making sin
gle, which left the score at the half,
to 2.
Then the speedy first team went in
to action and for the next two periods
it was a runaway. Eagle totaled IS
points in the last half. Elcho Gagged
another single during that time, which
brought the final totals to 4S to A in
Eagles favor.
Elcho was playing against a big
handicap. Their star guard, who has
been consistent point gamer all sea
son, was i'll and unable to accompany
the team. Added to that they were
continually facing new men, Coach
Kraeht using twelve men throughout
the game and making frequent
changes during the quarters. The
boys played good basketball Their
shooting eye was not working very
well and many another team would
have lost courage at such overwhelm-
ing odds, but Elcho fought hard and
were still going strong when the final
whistle blew.
The game showed~that Eagle has
wealth of material for future teams.
Dummy Bent, the smallest man on
the floor, made hero of himself in
the first half by scoring six Of the
second teams eight points. He went
back in the last quarter and played
with the "big fellers" getting another
basket. Sanderson Gagged one, Ewald
three, Belongy twelve and three free
throWs. The first teams work was not
