STORM STOPS SERVICE
Main Line Trains Cancelled
Monday and Might Oper-
ate Today is Report From
Circles.

All main line trains out of Chi
cago and Milwaukee to the North
Woods country and north of those
cities, were stopped by the snow
storm and blizzard which has
been under way since Sunday
night all over the northwest. Yes
terday no trains operated south
below Amigo on the Northwestern
and south of Merrill on the St.
Paul.
The Monico-W atersmeet branch
through Eagle River and the Star
Lake-Boulder Junction trains were
in operation without any trouble,
as was all main line trains from
Ashland south to Amigo.
The storm did not strike this
section very hard, only a few
inches of light, feathery snow
falling, which did not drift enough
to impede train service here.
Logging trains, freights and pas
Senger trains are IN operation on
regular schedule here, running as
far as Amigo, where the blockade
is on. 1t is said that Amigo is
jammed with trains which are un-
able to operate south.
According to Station Agent
Honzik just before going to press
his information is that an attempt
will be made to start trains out
Of Milwaukee today for the north.
The worst of the storm is south
from Amigo, and from Ishpeming,
Michigan south all trains have
been cancelled through the Green
Bay section.

STATEMENT IN UNIQUE
Bank Has Catchy Slogan and
One That Means Much to
Any Community.

Many peculiar and mighty good
methods of showing the backing
given by banks to their commun-

but the best one yet is that of a
North Dakota bank which surely
leads in unique slogans. Here is
the article as taken from the
Crawford County Press:

the eve, and the hen"
The First National Bank of
Petersburg, N. OAK, has this slo-
gan on its unique bank statement
recently issued.
Pictures of cows, sheep and
swine rather than money bags are
the decorations used. On the
same page with a statement of
the banks financial condition
is one of the agricultural status
of the community.
The report points with pride to
the improved livestock and diver
sifed nature of the farming in
the district: The 5000 breeding
ewes with purebred rams at the
head of every flock, the 60 pure
bred bulls, the 100 of more regis
tered cows besides a great num-
Der of high-grade females, the
large acreage of Grimm alfalfa
the $4,000 worth of produce
shipped out during the past year
and the activities of the Peters
burg Livestock Shipping Associa-
ton, which handled 80 cars OF
livestock last year.
The officials of the bank have
been active in cooperating with

A movement to permit payment
of taxes semi-annually is being
started in Madison and is spread
ing all over the state. 1t is pro-
posed to enact legislation which
will permit collection of taxes in
January and July, thereby spread
ing the tax burden over a long
er period
Semi-annual payment of taxes
is an advisable plan, Charles S.
Roas, member of the state tax
commission declared, commenting
on the movement. He said that
similar plan is in operation in
several states and has proved to
be successful.
Payment of taxes in two install
ments instead of one at the first

paying out large sums of money

seasons of the year, officials said.

distributed so that payment is
made, early in the spring and late
in the fall, when times are most
favorable and money plentiful.
In states where the semi-annual
payment plan is in force, officials
declare that larger percentage
of taxes are collected, thus work
ing to the advantage Of the state.
In Illinois, defaulting in payment
of the first installments, defaults
the taxpayer on the entire years
taxes thus causing a greater in
centive for the payment of the
first half of the taxes.
A number of county boards ov-
er the state have adopted resolu-
tions urging the legislature to en-
act measures which will permit
semi-annual tax payments, accord
ing to information received in

PAY TAXES TWICE YEAR
Effort Being Made to Induce
Wisconsin Legislature to
Give Two-Payment Period.

There is an effort being made
by the people of the state to bring
about the passage of ain act in the
coming legislature whereby the
burden of paying taxes may be
lessened. 1t is going to be asked
that the payment of taxes be
made semi-annually instead of
once a year as is the prevailing
method. To the average farmer
and business man, this thing of
paying the whole of the tax as
sessed against each individual, in
one lump sum during the winter
month when money is scarce and
business generally poor, is an add
ed burden, and one that is mighty
hard to bear.
The Amigo Journal and Shaw
ano Journal in speaking of the
payment of taxes gives some very
good suggestions as follows:
The county board of Marathon
county has provided resolution
asking the legislature to provide
for tax payments semi-annually,
instead of once a year. Several
legislators have had measures in
troduced calling for the change,
but thus far it has not been en-
acted into law That it would re-
quire little extra work goes
without saying; but the conven-
fence to the public would entirely
offset any extra work. 1t is much
easier to make two small pay
ments than one large one. The
federal government realized this
when it provided quarterly install
ments of the income tax. Had
the federal government not made
such provision it would have been
a very serious hardship for many
to have met this obligation. But
distributing the payments over
the year it frightened the burden
And there is no good reason
why it should not be done outside
of the little extra work entailed.
The city gets its money all at the
beginning of the year under the
present system and then keeps
paying out until it is all gone. 1t
might just as well have permitted
the people to have made use of
that money until it was needed,
instead of having to lie idle in
the treasury.
If other bodies would take &C
ton and thus indicate to the leg
islature the desire for the change,
we believe that it could be
brought about. The Marathon
county board has taken the init
ative. Let others follow-Antigo
