So he and the goat played Scotch

TAXES HIGH IN WISCONSIN

sThe public eve is very much upon Wisconsin
these days. Some taxation methods in that state dis
close amazing results Many persons are wondering
whether the taxation system which has been
adopted in that state under the management OF Sena
La Toilette and his friends would be carried out IN
the nation if should attend the senator amo
tons,' said O. E. MaXson, 1888 North Clark street.
Chicago who has long been large owner OF agrlcu-
tural lands in northern Wisconsin
"a condition exists in taxation in Wisconsin,, said
Mr. Maxson (which should be understood by the peo-
pie of that state, who not to understand It,
and which should be noted by the people IN other
states Recently in report made by the National In
dusria Conference Board of the tax situation IN sew
eral states of the Mississippi Valley it was disclosed
that the tax per head of population IN Wisconsin IS
S3O31 This is 81 per cent higher than Illinois, ia
per cent higher than Indiana, 116 per cent higher than
Ohio and 1873 per cent higher than Minnesota. Also,
given as Sl3476 which is "a cent higher than In
diana 81 per cent higher than Ohio and Ia per cent
higher than Illinois
"But what chiefly has concerned me about taxa
tion in Wisconsin," said Mr.. Maxson is the system
in vogue in that state, of exempng from direct tax
moneys, bonds, mortgages and other securities and
substituting therefor income tax on the holders Oh
such revenue producing securltles compared WIN
taxes paid by the farmers their lands and personal
property and on the small homes of working men.
ut should be remembered that Senator La Fol-
lete and his supporters have for more than 70 years
controlled the tax legislation of Wisconsin,, SAID MI
Maxson "They have established system OF taxation
under which $4,000 income from mortgages, bonds,
ete with many exemptions pays tax OF about S|o
year. whereas personal property valued at Soooo on
a farm with the average tax rate OF 8 per cent ana
onlv so per cent valuation, and the farm land ana
buidinos valued at 0O0 assessed at the same pro-
portionate rate pays total tax OF Sl5O
.The home of the laborng man or small mer-
chant , said Mr. MaXson valued at $4,000 and as
sessed at so per cent of value per cent basis,
navs abou S45 or than half the tax paid on an
income from $4,000 worth of bonds and mortgages.
s,,ch income being approximately $4,000 year. In
addition to these taxes paid by the small farmer and
home owner they also subjected to income taxes
if they have taxable incomes.
Z at is known said Mr.. MaXson that efforts are
being made in many states to secure proper taXatoh
of what is known tax exempt securltles out the
Wisconsin plan of eXempting moneys, credits, etc'
includes mortgages and bonds, from taxation and I'M
posing tax on incomes therefrom, plainly works 10
the advantage of the capitalists as compared WIN te
tr,,er and small home owner. If the 100000 OF
bonds and mortgages were taxed as the farm ana Ia
boring mans home taxed the rate would be 3 per
cent S50,000, or tax OF si,ooo as coihpafeo WITH

We are all breathing sigh of relief today, now
that the United States flyers have succeeded in
peting their crcumn vgation of the globe without
mishap The pessimists have been fearing that
confidence untoward event might the trip
their journeys end but the pessimsts lose again.
and it is with personal feeling of exutaton and pride
that read of the successful achievement of these
young men, and the splendid homecoming given them.
The first human flight around the world, brought
to triumpha conclusion under the able leadership of
of our Southland boys will go down in history as
marking in the worlds events, and will live
in records when everybody connected with the present
presidential campaign is forgotten.
That we here in Ell Centre should have even had
the opportunity to glimpse these human birds wingng
their homeward flight is something will tell with
pride to grandchildren. Even did not have
the chance to welcome the flyers personally view the
planes at close range have the sefsame planes
and sef-same flyers-even at a distance-which
vctorously surmouned the of burning deserts
the blast of icy wastes and the insidious, swirng
waters of the worlds oceans-ths is something will
not soon forget.
That the nation which invented the flying machine
is the first to circle the globe fitting and appropriate
and much praise cannot be heaped upon the per-
severance, bravery and determination of this sextet
of virile American youths who have bazed path
way around the hemisphere.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24,-With
a dislocated shoulder, Bud Taylor,

first start on the coast last night
when y he decisively outpointed
Georgia Rivers in a four round bout
at Vernon.
Taylor's right arms, hurt in an

trouble early in the night. In the
third round the shoulder went out of
joint. Taylor fought through the
period and the club physician was
called in but was unable to help.
Taylor fought the last round with
one hand, but had piled such and
early lead that Rivers was unable
to eve nthe fight.
After the bout the shoulder was
pulled back into place.
In the semi-w windup Young Datto

You might suspect that this de-

land of Cherry Blossoms and kimo-
nos-but If so you are wrong.
Despite the fact that she goes un-
der the name Miss Tokyo" and usu-
ally wears clothes that betray a Jap
anese influence, she is an American
designer of reputation and maintains
one of the smartest dressmaking es-
adjustments in New York.
She has made her reputation by
her insistence upon American styles
for Americans and until now she
has never even visited Paris because
she did not want to be tempted to
borrow Paris styles or be influenced
by French taste.
Now she's going abroad for rest

be distinctive in the world of fashr

own convictions" she said, "and un-

To allow ourselves to be dominated

of clothes is not only ridiculous but
unpatriotic."
In private life she is Mrs. r.

A Hardy Perennial:


A Hardy Perennial
Introducing the campus jelly
bean! What! You never heard of
him?
We are indebted to pretty jun
Tor Of the University of Texas for
the latest transfer Of college slang
into the current coin of everyday
conversation.
Miss Sara Dunaway describes a
campus jelly bean as "a young man
who will listen to a girl tell what
she thinks about world politics then
tell her what pretty teeth she has,"
No use getting excited about
them.t Sara. When you've been
through as much as we have you'll
md that the world is full of num-
ber OF things. You've merely tag
ged q picturesque name on a
Species of male widely prevalent.
Take 1t from an old grad. Sara,
most men don't want us to talk about
world politics or any other kind.
The smart one do. of course. But
the smart ones are greatly in the
minority and If you know half a
dozen in a lifetime you can count
yourself lucky.
Mn who are really superior do
not go around advertising the fact;
20 you'll have to use your own sharp
w3ts to be able to tell them from
the Jelly beans, more or less remote
from campus In time and space.
The jelly beans throught the ages
kept womankind out of their dues
for long time. Women of an
elder day would have been reluct-
tant to say right out In meeting
what they really thought about the
mental rating of their men friends
or their husbands.
They were too conscious of what
the men would think of them. Now
It Is beginning to be matter of
some Importance what women
think about themselves. They can
be independent of mans adverse
criticism il they want to. Not
economically dependent on them
they can talk right out in public
about jelly beans or anything else.
Exclusive emphasis upon wom-
ans physical charms has been a
masculine habit so long that the
lower order of male intelligence
will doubtless continue to stress for
rome time to come.
And the real reason, Sara, why
they don't want us to talk about
the world politics and such is that
they are afraid we will show 'em

Just what you spoke of. but I am
sure any reputable hospital would
give you certain tests that would

Your baby of three and one-half
months has gained seven pounds

that she is being well fed and does

be much better to be left undisturb-
