BUTLER COMES OUT
FOR WET" PLANK
"0nly Way Back to Sound Con-

G. 0. P. Delegate.
DANGER TO PARTY rs SEEN
Failure to Take Stand Would Cost
Eleven States, His Belief.
By the Associa ted Press.

ny the ASSOcldte0 PresS
NEW YORK, May 9-Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University and a delegate to the Re
publican national convention in Cleve-
land next month, has come out
squarely for the insertion of an anti
prohibition plank in the 1924 G. o. P
platform.
His declaration that his party must
take that step as the only way to
get back to sound constitutional gov
ernment is the last phase of the
nauon-wide controversy he stirred up
ten days ago, when, in a speech be-
1ore the New York members of the
missouri Society. he launched a vigor-
GUS attack on the Volstead act, the
eighteenth amendment and liquor law
enforcmeent generally.
Eleven States in Danger.
The Columbia president. in a state
ment yesterday, added that the Re
publican party stood in danger of
losing eleven states in the coming
presidential election if it did not take
decisive stand against the existing
prohibition situation. His remarks
also were construed as challenge TO
the Anti-Saloon League. which he at
Hacked in his Missouri Society talk.
Declaring he had received assur-
ence of support from governors of
eSateS ana party leaders throughout
the country, he added:
They have called my attention to
The danger to the party if it fails
TO satisfy public opinion, or if IL al
lows itself to be allied even In ap-
pearnace with the activities of the
anti-Saloon League"
Should the c. o. +. fail to take a
platform stand against existing pro-
hibition conditions, DR. Butler said,
it was threatened with the loss of
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Della
ware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
New York, Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
DIR. Butler refused te state what
steps, if any, he personally would
take toward having the Cleveland
convention nail an anti-prohlbitlon
plank into the 1924 platform.

U. s. Veterans Bureau.

With the conviction of Joseph B.
Margolin, a New York attorney, the
U. S. Veterans Bureau again
demonstrates its intention Of pro-
tecting Bureau beneficiaries from
those who would charge more than
the law allows for assisting
claimants.
Joseph Freeman, private in Com
pany G of the 18th Infantry, was
killed in action on July 81 1918. He
left $4,000 worth of insurance,
81 900 to his father and $4,000 to an
aunt, Mrs. Yetta Cohen. His death
was established by the Adjutant
Generals Office of the War Depart
ment on January 16, 1928. Until
then he had been carried as injured
and lost in action.
Margolin assisted Mrs. Cohen in
getting her insurance. For this he
charged $4,000 and collected $500.
The law, however, as passed by
Congress, specifically provides that
only $500 can be charged for such
assistance as may be required in the
preparation and execution Of the
necessary papers in a claim before
the Bureau.
Upon representation of the Bureau.
taken after an investigation, the
Department of Justice brought the
matter before the Grand Jury, which
returned an indictment. The case
came up before a jury in the District
Court, Judge A. N. Hand sitting, and
a verdict was returned against
Margolin. Attorney Harry L.
Jones represented the Bureau.

Tips For taxpayers.

The period for filing income-tax
returns for the calendar year 1923
ends at midnight of March Is, 1924.
Heavy penalties are provided by the
revenue act for persons who fail or
"willfully refuse" to make a return
or pay the tax on time.
For failure to make a return a tax
payer becomes liable to a penalty of
$1,000, and a further penalty of 25
per cent of the tax, unles later
return is filed and it is satisfactorily
shown that the delinquency was
due to a reasonable cause and not to
wilful neglect.
For wilful refusal to make re-
turn or pay the tax on time tax
payer becomes liable to a penalty of
$4,000 or one years Imprisonment,
or both, together with the cost of
prosecution, and an added penalty of
rs per cent of the amount of the tax.
If in an income-tax return at
tempt is made to evade or defeat the
tax, the offender is liable to i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year
and to a fine of not more than &c.,
600 and costs, and, in addition, SO
per cent of the total tax evaded. If
the understatement is due to
negligence but without attempt to
defraud, there is added 5 per cent Of
the total amount of the deficiency
plus interest at the rate of l per
cent a month until paid.
Easy credit is hard taskmaster.

SPRING WEATHER
MAKES POLITICS
An Early Start Predicted This Year.
Presidential Delegates Will Be
Chosen.

With election five weeks from next
I Tuesday the time is soon ripe when
1t may be expected that the political
Inducements which usually get
under way about this time win come
to the surface.
In the city of Hurley a mayor, city
treasurer, two aldermen and a
supervisor from each ward will be
chosen.
While some interesting and exeit-
ing contests develop in the wards,
main interest is centered in the
mayoralty scrap. 1t is said that
rumors of candidates. fer the office
have already been broadcasted, but
as vet. it being a little early, nothing
definite has come to the surface. No
doubt some of the rumors started
this week, the spring-like weather
with the warm sunshine and rapidly
thawing snow, being conductive to
political rumors.
Whether Mayor Lennon will be a
candidate to succeed himself is yet
matter of conjecture, although some
of his friends are ready to admit that
he will. And despite the current
rumors the same friends maintain
that he will not have opposition a
condition that prevailed two years
ago.
A justice of the supreme court,
four delegates at large to each of the
national conventions of the Democ-
ratio, Prohibition and Socialist
parties, and seven delegates at large
to the Republican national conven-
ton, and two delegates from each
congressional district will be chosen
at the coming spring election. In
addition an amendment to the state
constitution providing for an in
crease in the sarary of members of
the legislature will be voted on.

HOME ECONOMICS
IN IRON COUNTY
Representative of State Department
Addresses Gathering at Court
House Tuesday.

An interesting meeting was held
Tuesday afternoon at the office of
County Agent, Dan Shaffer. Miss
Gladys Stillman, of the state depart
ment Of home economics, talked to
the women of the community, ex-
planning the work done by the de-
partment, with a view to promoting
the work in this county.
The department, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones,
sends out six workers, known as
home agents. These workers form
groups among the women of the
rural communities and teach them
many things of value along the lines
of clothing, food and home manage
ment. This work is free of charge
to the community with the exception
of slight tax for the purchase of
supplies when needed. All that is
asked of the women is the forming
into groups, and the promise of
cooperation in passing the know
ledge thus gained along to their
nelghbOrS.
The workers visit each county once
a month, spending perhaps a week
in the county, and giving lesson to
each group. The lessons are
usually half day sessions, although in
some instances the women will
gather during the morning, bring
their lunch and devoting the day to
the work.
1t is planned to form groups or
circles at Saxon, Quincy, Cedar,
Hurley, Van Buskirk and Mercer

The Influence OF Example.

People who 90 through life cling
ing to the false idea that what they
do matters not bit to others, and
that what others do matters not to
them, are due for very rude
awakening sooner or later.
Life in this age is so complex,
with all of its frills and furbelows,
that practically every act of each
individual reacts either for good or
for evil in the life of some other
persons.
The man who drinks intoxicating
liquor, which he obtains contrary to
law, may think that he is deceiving
everyone, but he deceives few, and
at the same time his disregard for
law sets an example that doubtless
leads others to follow in his
footsteps
So-called respectable citizens may
be the pattern for the lives of less
influential citizens, who commit pet
ty offenses because they see those
who are supposed to have good judg-
ment, having q part in small infrac-
tons of the law.
Regardless Of your station in
society you may rest assured that
anything that is not right, which you
may do, will have a detrimental
effect somewhere along the line.
Boys and young men and girls
and young women, who are harshly
criticized for some actions that are
regarded as improper, did not invent
all of the misdeeds in which they
indulge.
They first had the example set by
those who were older and should
have known better.
The next time something not en-
tirely within the law or the bounds Of
propriety occurs TO you. would it not
be just as well to consider the effect
it might have on others.-Ex.

WOULD LICENSE
COAL DEALERS
Movement Started For Enactment of
Legislation to Protect Dealers
Against "Snow Birds"

uadison-Enactment of legisla-
+i1n viii REQUIRE the licensing of coal
dealers in Wisconsin and the grading
Of all shipments into the state will be
sought before the next legislature,
according to Paul H. Presentin, coal
Investigator and expert of the state
department Of markets.
A movement for such legislation
already has been started, Mr.. Pres
entin said today, and tentative meas
ures have been drawn up. The coal
expert of the state department is
strongly in favor of such legislation.
Licensing of coal dealers is de-
signed primarily to protect the leg
itimate dealer against the so-called
snow birds in the industry" Mr..
Presentin declared Wisconsin like
all other states, no doubt has a large
number of illigitimate dealers who
come into the state temporarily and
dig in on business of reliable dealers.
Numerous instances have come to
the attention of the state department
where patrons have purchased coal
from dealers who are temporarily in
locality, In large majority of
cases. such buyers find they have re-
ceiyed low grade coal and paid a
high price for it. They have no adj
dress and find they are unable to get
adjustments from the dealer
Licensing would require that the
dealer show he is established in
community and can make good his
product Grading will assist largely
in insuring to coal purchasers that
they receive the quality of coal they
desire. Under the grading plan,
each car load of coal would be label
ed as it comes into the state and
classified according to quality"
A majority of Wisconsin lumber
men and coal dealers in the state
favor licensing and grading legisla-
ton and movement has been start
ed in congress for similar federal
legislation, according to Mr.. Pres
entin, who has correspondent with
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
regarding the proposed measures.
Legislation by congress authoriz-
ing grading laws on coal by states
must be forthcoming before the state
can make the proposed coal legisla-
ton effective, Mr.. Presentin stated.
Wisconsin could then tie up with the
cong ssional legislation and the re-
suits would revolutionize the coal i'm
dustry, the report declared.

TWELVE MILLION
IN INCOME TAX
The Total in Wisconsin Is the Third
Highest Since the Law Was
Enacted In 1911.

Prosperity is fast returning to
Wisconsin according to the income
tax reports filed with the state tax
commission. The total state IN
come tax to be collected in Wiseon-
sin this year will be the third high
est since the state law was enacted
in 1911. The income taxes collect
ed during 1918 and 1920, during the
war boom" were a little more than
the tax collected this year.
THE income tax collected this
year is barometer of prosperity
returning" declared Carroll d.
Atwood. a member of the state tax
commission, in announcing the
amount.
The total assessment of normal
state income taxes against corpora
tions and individuals assessed this
year is $11,947,70 as compared
with $12,661, 352, which was the
highest amount assessed in 1920.
The total assessment this year is
as follows:
From corporations .....$7, 497 ,62l
From individuals ...... 4,450,0S5
Besides these normal income tax
es the state will collect in surfaces
for the support of the teachers re-
tirement law $1,494,67O. This
amount is larger than before owing
to the fact that the state is collect
ing a large sum on black" taxes that
have been withheld" Although
the soldiers cash bonus law was en-
acted in 1910, the state will collect
this year, $4,000 on taxes which
corporations withheld" from the
soldiers bonus fund but which have
since been uncovered by the auditors
of tax commission. All told about
$4,000 in withheld" taxes will be
collected this year Since Gov
Blaine started his campaign against
income tax lodging approximately
$4,000 900 in back taxes has been AS
sessed. The state gets only 10 per
cent of the income tax. Counties
and localities get the lions share
Of the normal assessed about 3d.
100000 will be "offset" by personal
property tax receipts Cash receipts
will be about S7,000,000. An effort
was made at the last session of the
legislature to repeal the "offset, "
but failed. This subject win be a
bone of contention before the next
legislature.
Since the state income tax law
was enacted in 1911 over $97 900,
900 has been assessed against in
comes. OF this sum over $4,000 900
has been "offset" Leaders in the
tax debate at the last session claimed
that the repeal of the offset law
would result in an immediate lower
ing of the real estate taxes in the
state, Most farmers have SO small
an income that they derive no bene-
fit from the income tax offset The
benefits of this law are enjoyed
largely by income tax payers Of
cities, most Of whom escape taxation
on their automobiles by presenting
the receipt for their personal pro-
perty as an "offset" against their
income tax. For this reason a large
majority Of auto owners in the state
do not actually pay any taxes on
their cars. The farmers auto is
taxed as personal property" but
because his income is small he has
to pay a tax on his car. He has no
offset to help him out.
