just Why The
Difference!

Figures in the Herald's hands give
the estimated expenditures of the state
of Iowa for the next two years at
$4,000 100000 In the same period WIS
consin will probably raise and spend
$4,000, 100000 a year.
Iowa is richer and more populous
state than Wisconsin. 1t has about ~
percent arabic land. 1t has more peo-
ple to the square mile than Wisconsin.
II has lust as good if not better
schools, not as good roads and much
more sensible state government. Ihere
is considerable less of the buttnsky
stuff from the state government IN
Iowa as compared to Wisconsin. 1t
costs about 25,000,000.00 a year less
to run Iowa.
Defenders of the Wisconsin govern
ment will point out that the state aid
system of raising and paying back
money makes the Wisconsin total run
mich higher than her sister states.
Opponents of the wisconsin Idea,
will agree and say ''that is Just the
trouble" They will ask the advantage
in taking money from people in the
form of taxes and paying it back with
stipulations as to how it shall be
spent.
What we need here in Wisconsin is
more simplicity. The way to get 1t is
to elect legislators pledged to simpli-
fy state government and to reduce and
eliminate our costly bureaucracy.

3-YEAR AGRIC.
PROGRAM FOR
GRANT COUNTY
Continue Alfalfa, Livestock
Features.-Three New
Activities Added.

A program for the county agent
work in Grant county was mapped
out at a meeting here in accordance
with the provision of the Smith-Lever
act. A committee in charge of the
county agent work meets annually
with the county agent to make the
plans.
Those present were L. D. Eastman,
county chairman; f. E. Ralph, super
intendent of schools; Peter Pagan,
Patch Grove; r. c. Willis, Lancaster;
William F. Mccormick, Lancaster; J.
F. Volta, Madison, superintendent of

F. GRADER, Madison, alfalfa expert.
Continuation of the lining and al
falfa program was voted by the COM
mittee. 1t was also decided to carry
on the livestock improvement program
in the capacity of the Advancement
of cowtesting associations and breed
ers' associations as well as the mar
keting of livestock and the exhibition
of livestock.
Three new phases of the work were
put into the program, including: hog

varieties and purebred grains, and the
development of sweet clover pastures.

PROPOSE NEW
HIGHWAY TO
STATE PARK
Mass Meeting Held at P. d.
C.. Dec. 19-Of Interest
to Grant County.

Last Friday, December 10, 1924, a
meeting was called by the CONNER
cial Club of Prairie du Chen to dis
cuss the location and financing of a
road from State Trunk Highway No.
10 to the Nelson Dewey Park.
There was large delegation pres
ent of members of the club, several
from the northwest of Grant county,
Mr.. Harrington from the conservation
commission, and the writer from the
Highway Commission.
At the present time the road from
S. T. H. No 10 to the Park via Coun-
tv Trunk Highway "P" and "X' is
very poor as the road is very billy,
narrow and has several sharp and
dangerous tOurns.
The sentiment at the meeting was
for a good road to the park, prefer
ably a shorter route than the present
route over County Trunk Highways
"P" and "X". A route was recon-
mended commencing at the south end
of the Bridgeport bridge dump and
following a town road in a southeast
erly direction, and connecting with
present County Trunk "X'' about one
mile east of Hamilton corners. 1t
was claimed that this road would
shorten the distance from Prairie du
Chen to the park about eight miles,
and would only lengthen the route
about one and one-half miles for peo-
pie coming from the east and south
It is expected that the location OF
the route will be determined upon this
coming summer, and surveys made so
work can BE started in 1926. The Com
mercial Club voiced their willingness
to assist in any way they could, and
a. committee was appointed, consist
ing of two members of the club and
two members from Grant county, to
work with the Highway Commission
and the Conservation Commission on
the location of the road.
In regard to finances, the leglsla-
ture of 1922 set apart from the auto
mobile license moneys, for the I'M
provement of roads in and from state
trunk lines 20 the state parks of the
state, the following amounts: for
1924-s25, 10000; for 1925-$35, 100000;
and for 1926-$45,0 100000. The money
for 1924 and 1925 will be needed for
work already done or necessary 10 pc
done in other state parks, but 1t is
hoped that the 1926 money, or $45,OO0
and probably a small amount of the
1925 money will be made available
for a connection between S. T. Fl. NO.
10 and the Nelson Dewey park, and
also to build some roads in the park.
1t was the opinion of all present that
no work should be started until suffi-
cient funds were available, and suffl-
Gent funds will not be available until
1926.

STATE INCOME
TAXUNPOPULAR
OVER COUNTRY
Voters Register mo" When
Asked to Decide Natter
Effect on Business Here.

MADISON-Voters in most states
do not favor a state income tax. Flor
ida, Michigan and Oregon recently
went on record as decidedly opposed
|! to that form Of taxation, leaving Wis
sonsin with the highest income tax
rate of any industrial state having
such a tax.
By an overwhelming vote of to 1
the people of Florida adopted a con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
both income and inheritance taxation.
Florida is making a strong bid for
wealthy residents from other states.
Already a large number of former
Wisconsin people have moved there,
and the recent action will no doubt
result in an increasingly rapid influx
of wealth to that state.
"Why should I remain in Wiscon-
sin and pay more in unfair taxes
/ than it costs my family to live IN
even greater luxury and comfort in
Florida" a former Wisconsin man re-
Gently remarked to George f. kull
secretary of the Wisconsin Manufac-
turers' Association. eve did not want
to move out of Wisconsin, but we got
to a point where we couldn't stand the
drain"
Needless to say, the amount OF in
come taxes that man and his wife paid
in Wisconsin must be made up by the
rest of us who stay here.
Coming closer to home, in more
senses than one, the rejection OF the
income tax in Michigan is signl1can'
and important. Michigan is an indus
trially competitive state. BY voting
down the income tax, that state con-
tinues it's advantages over the peo-
ple in Wisconsin. Every disadvantage
| to business means loss to the grea'
masses. lust rs business booms mean
gain to the masses.
The Pacific coast, too, is coming tc
its senses as regards income taxatlon
Oregon voters kicked out the income
tax after they had tried it lone
enough to learn that it is not gooo
thing for a state unless all compel
tive states have one too. Oregon rec
ognized the income tax as a hlndrance
| to the states development, and apol-
| ished it.
A few years ago Oregon people
made The same mistake Wisconsin
neople have made They let politicians
make a political issue out of the tax
question. When taxes became polltl-
cal vehicle for politicians to ride IN
to office on, the state and its people
suffer. The time is approaching When
tax pavers will insist that taxes DC
kept out of politics.
There are now fifteen states left IN
the country where there is a state
income tax OF all of the lndustrlai
states, Wisconsin's rate is the hlgn,
est. running from 1 to per cent. AGO
TO this the constant threat of stllI
more burdensome tax legislation ano
it is easy to understand why capltai
is being frightened out of Wisconsin

MUNDON IN
LIMBO FOR
CIGAR THEFT
5000 Christmas Smokes Go
Over Store Counters
at PlattevilIe.

PLATTEVILLE Frank Mundon
was arrested on the charge of steal
ing cigars from the vacant building
owned by Mr.. Kuehl. The cigars were
being made for Ed. Knebel, some
5000 in number.
Parties who purchased cigars at the
Greeks recognized the brand of CT
gars. The boxes in which the cigars
were placed had the name scratched
off and bore no name of the manufac-
turer.
The government regulations requir-
ing the proper labelling of products OF
tobacco is very strict.
When these cigars were purchased
from Mundon, a check was given in
payment, so that the evidence was
clear.
Mundon was taken before Judge
Lewis, who bound him over to the
circuit court.

Flashes
x.ife is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
The Meaning of
High Taxes.

High Taxes.
Lancaster has a high tax rate and
is likely to rave one for ten years or
So Still high taxes have a bright
side. =
In our case high taxes mean that
the town has been making improve
ments. We are paying more but we
have something to show for our mon
ey Take away the new city hall, new
high school, new sewage disposal
plant, new boiler at water plant and
our taxes would be low.
We would be going along with our
old city building. Our schools would
be crowded to the doors with no place
to put the children. Foul sewage
would be poIlutlng Pigeon creek and
smelling to high heaven. Our water
supply would be uncertain and we
would face a probable famine or dan
gerous fire with no pressure to fight
it with.
Because these improvements (most
of which the people voted) are going
in, our taxes are high. They will re-
main high until they are paid for
when we shall probably have a cycle
of low taxation. High taxes and low
taxes follow each other at intervals of
about ten years apart.
And with all our high taxes and
speaking for himself, the Herald man
would rather live in Lancaster than
in a lot of other towns that have low
taxes and lie dead in their shells. We
would take a live town every time to
a dead one even though it costs more
to live in the live one. But it's worth
more. AS our individual taxes of all
kinds will run among the heaviest in
Lancaster we speak in this case as
one having authority.

The Goth Amendment Spasm.

The latest move to amend the U. 5.
constitution is along the line OF an
act to regulate child labor in the var
ious commonwealth. In other words,
with the amendment in effect, the fed
eraI government could pass law reg
ulating the hours of work IN every
state and setting forth at what age
children would be permitted to work.
This amendment is along the line
of gradual encroachment OF federal
power and the stultifying of state
power in this country. Regardless OF
what local conditions prevail the COY
eminent would pass a blanket rule
governing labor and the states Wotld
have to comply.
The Herald is opposed to further
extension of federal power. we pc
1ieye the states should regulate mat
ters of a purely domestic nature anu
that the conscience of state leglsla-
tors toward protecting childhood from
exn1oitation is Just as keen as tnaC
of congress. :,
We believe further that what is all
ing voung America today is not TOO
much work but too much play. IL
1vo,l1d he far better for the rank ana
file of those who do not want nigh
or education and wouldn't go to col
lege if they could to go to work at
some useful and gainful Occupation
be it even humble or hand soiling
than to dawdle around in tritllng
manner in the very days when the
habit of industry should be forming,
We believe that every child blessed
with ordinary brains should be sent
through high school even thougn II
be at public expense in the rev cases
whore the parents are not able to
pay the child's way. Liza
And it does no harm for any cnllo
+o he learning some useful vocation
while he is studying. 1t shouldn't De
overlooked that some day he will nave

things better ourselves without uncle
