kEN0SHA 18th
IN TAX LISTS
kenOsha is Fourteenth in
List of Low Tax Rate
for Cities.
81 CITIES REPORTED

A recent article in the National Mu-
nicipal Review written by Mr.. e. G.
Richtor of the Detroit Bureau of Re-
search comparing the tax values and
tax rates of 1874 cities throughout the
United States, shows that of the six
ty-five cities with population be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 Kenosha
stands 18th in the list of low tax
rates, with tax rate of $3.50 per
thousand dollars value based upon 100
per cent valuation. 1t is estimated
that the tax value of the property in
the city of Kenosha is so per cent of
its true value. We have tax rate of
$31 per thousand dollars on our basis
of valuation, which is 60 per cent. so
that if our valuation was placed upon
100 per cent or its true value basis.
our tax rate would be $3.50 per thou
sand dollars.
The following is list of cities as
they stand in order of tax rate:

'GORMAN CARDED
TO MEET ROJOS
Local Heavyweight Battler
Scheduled for Bout at
Grand Rapids.
ON NEW YEARS EVE

Bud German, called one of Wiscon-
sins leading heavyweight title aspir-
ants will seek to write finish on the
1924 season with fourishing scrawl
on New Years Eve. While the rest
of the world will be merrily preparing
TO bid farewell to 1894 and welcome
in the new year, German will be labor
ing in ten round headline bout at
Grand Rapids, Mich. The other prin-
cipal in the case is no less a ring cele-
brity than Roma Rojos, who has been
mentioned from time to time by lead
Ing fstic critics as one battler who
may soon hook up with Jack Dempsey,
the king OF the heavy punchers who
makes EN- stay put.
This bout should be a corker if it
actually materializes. In this day Of
fstic lore spectator never knows
whether or not the fight is going
through until he sees the fighters
troop <out on the canvas-covered
boards of the squared circle. Pro-
moters are in the habit Of calling off
such affairs at the last minute for
various reasons. However, German
says everything Is IN readiness for the
scrap and it will be a reality.
Getting In Fine Shape.
German realizes that victory over
Rojos would be a big stepping stone
to faster and more select ring COM
pany an he is working hard to be in
the best of condition. German has
met with unusual success in his bat
ties in the Wolverine state this sea-
son. He hung up string of wins and
made warm spot for himself in the
hearts of the fistic gentry.
For the past year German has been
the physical instructor at the Elks'
club in Racine and he has all the
facilities at hand to keep him in pro.
per trim. During the football season
he worked out with the Racine Legion
and later with the Kenosha- Maroons
Bud has some capable sparring part
ners in the Belle City who will furn-
ish him opposition in the daily work
outs. Aside from the work in the gym
German intends to put in several miles
Of road work to improve his wind and
also get his weight at the proper
mark.

Beauty Shops Now
Fight Barber Shops

Madison, Wis. The war between
beauty shops and barber shops will be
carried into the 1925 session of the
Wisconsin legislature.
Determined to "get back" at the bar
bers, beauty shop operators here are
laying plans to put through legisla-
ton forbidding the tonsorial experts
from serving feminine patrons or chill
dren under 10 years of age.
No bill has been drafted yet, accord
ing to operators here, but action is
contemplated, and the question will be
brought up at the coming session.
The beauty shop owners indicate that
they have not forgotten that the bar
bers at one time tried to prevent them
from barbering their women patrons.
Such services were regarded as being
exclusively in the domain of the bar
Der shop.
But the BARRIERS are not going to
give up without fight to save their
"bobbing" and "shingling" trade. Petit
tions already are being circulated by
the BARRIERS Protective Association Of
Wisconsin in protest against any such
restriction as contemplated by the
beauty shops.

S0mers Cards Again
Rout Kamm's Outfit
County Team Scores SO to % Win
Over Kamm Bros, in Return
Game at Somers Monday.

Kamm Bros. cagers of Racine, failed
utterly in their attempt to square off
accounts with the Somers Cards by
taking the return game Monday night
as the Cards triumphed by a SO to
% margin. Still mindful of the sting
of the narrow lose at Gurnee, ILL.,, on
Saturday, the Cards went into the
contest determined to pile up big
score. Define at center, chucked in
FIVE baskets, while Gloss and Wyers
each dumped in four. Rhodes had
three while Middlecamp had one.
For Kamm Bros, Cape at center was
the individual scoring star with seven
baskets. Wood had two and as many
free throws while Aamson made one
basket.
The Cards now have won six games
and lost one this season. They travel
to Lake Villa on Friday night and
Saturday they will take on the Ray
mond Center five on the Somers floor.

ROTARY CLUB
TALKS OF ETHICS
Interesting Christmas Meet
is Held at Elks' Club at
Noon Today.
SING OLD CAROLS

The Christmas spirit lowered over
the MONDAY luncheon of the Kenosha
Rotary club at the Elks' club at noon
today. 1t was the regular monthly
meeting given over to the discussion
of business ethics and a program Of
unusual interest was furnished under
the direction of Walter ]. Frost.
George w. Taylor appeared as the
defender of the legal profession and
told of the ethics which bound law
yers to give their best energies for
their clients but with the understand
ing that they never would compromise
their own conscience. He read "from
the book" and answered all questions
pertaining to the legal profession as
they have been answered by the AM
erican Bar association. Judge Taylor
showed great interest in the ethics
of his own profession and indicated
clearly that the lawyer who fails to
observe the code was one who held
little Of the respect of his fellow prac-
titioners.
Whyte and Geittman Talk.
George s. Whyte discussed the eth
les of certain practices among buyers
and sellers in connection with the
great industrial life of the nation tell
ing of over-stepped discount limits,
false reports of markets, and unfair
credit proposals and E. ]. Geittman,
cashier of the Brown National bank
discussed the ethics of the financial
world. He declared that while a writ.
ten code of ethics may be missing
bankers that the ethics of the
business suggested making every bank
not only financial station for the
of the deposits of neigh
borhood but also a station where the
best interests of the neighborhood
were served with honesty and with
candor.
Featured at the meeting were the
Christmas carols sung under the di-
rection Of George Bickford with Fred
Clitheroe at the piano and w. H.
Schroeder furnishing the violin music.

Seek to Bar Hunting
Birds from Planes

Washington. - Hunting wild fowl
from airplane has a terrifying effect
upon game and if any general use
should be made of aircraft in hunt
ing, the result would be disastrous,
says report issued by the Bio
logical Survey of the Department of
Agriculture.
OF the $12,31s.25 collected in fines
from sol arrests made through the adj
ministration of the migratory bird
treaty, several cases involving hunt
ing from airplane were included, the
report says.
Control Of various predatory animals
and rodent pests which are injurious
to horticulture, forestry and stock
growing on the western range has
made fine progress during the past
year, says the report. Federal funds
amounting to $2s7,951.S1 were used for
destruction of predatory animals, in
Guiding coyotes, wolves, mountain
lions, bobcats and lynxes, and $780,
714,61 was expended for the control
of rodent pests. Cooperative funds
from states infested by rodents
amounted to $901,587.

Treasurer Proves
Aid to Santa Claus

Madison, Wis. All state employ
es, numbering approximately 5000,
have received their December salaries,
Solomon Levitan, state treasurer, an
nounced today. Payment was begun
Dec. II, he said, in order that all en-
ployes would have the checks before
Christmas. The states monthly pay
roll is about $265,000.
"The greatest joy at Christmas time
is the giving of gifts" asserted Mr..
Levitan. II know that many of our
stenographers here and clerks would
be able to get little more of that
joy if we passed out their checks a
little earlier, and SO we have been
glad to add this little bit of happiness
to them"

SHORTEST PROGRAM
FOR HIGHWAY WORK
Not More Than s1S,0OO,O0O VIII Be
Expended For the Building
of New Roads.

Madison, Wis. Wisconsin's high
way program for 1925 will be one of
the smallest in years and will be a
good distance behind the work planned
by other states, State Highway En-
gineer John T. Donaghey declared to-
day.
Not more than 12 or 10 million dol
lars will be spent on the highways next
season, compared with about rs mill
lion last season, Donaghey said.
County bond issues for highway pur-
poses have fallen off sharply. Only
about a million dollars will be avail
aSSe from this source next year,
against nine or ten million dollars in
previous years.
appropriations to match about 49,
600 900 in federal aid and revenues
from motor license fees will provide
the rest of the revenue for highway
construction.
The state highway engineer is par
S1cularly anxious for the passage of a
gasoline tax by the next legislature.
Such a levy will not increase the ag-
gregate amount available for road pur-
poses, as it will replace part of the
appropriations usually made by the
legislature. 1t will, however, mean
more ready money for highway con-
struction.
Donaghey protested himself as salts
fed with the results of the conference
which met here Wednesday TO consid-
er the gasoline tax After approving
the levy lin principle" the confer
ence spent the rest of the time in dis
cussing plans of distributing revenues.
"The conference brought out vary
ing opinions and ideas and gave every
one chance to understand the other
side of the question:" Donaghey said.
ut helped to clear the air"
Whether the forestry amendment to
the state constitution will cripple the
state highway program is not yet con-
corning the department, according to
Donaghey. A suit probably will be
brought to obtain judicial interpre-
tation of the amendment, Donaghey be-
lieves. 1t is not likely, however, that
the highway commission will sponsor
the action. The initiative probably
will be left to other interested parties.
The amendment, if strictly inter-
preted, would limit expenditures for
both forestry and highway purposes
to about $1,000,000 in any one year.
Most state officials, however, believe
that the supreme court would interpret
the amendment according to it's in
tent, which was admittedly only to linn
1t forestry expenditures.

LAW" FACTORIES
ARE CALLED JOKE
Senator BoIdt Would Repeal Ten Laws
For Every One Passed at
Coming Session.

Sheboygan Falls, Wis. If the 1926
session of the Wisconsin legislature
would adopt a rule that for each new
measure enacted, ten dead letter or
unenforced" laws be repealed, H. B.
Boldt, state senator from the goth dis
trict, stated today that he was "cer-
tain people would approve it."
at has come to the point that the
people as whole consider these law
factories joke, but it is getting to
be serious matter" said Mr.. Boldt.
"Why not have laws say what they
mean and mean what they say? Ig-
norance is no excuse, still we have
such laws that the men who made them
and men that study and deal in them,
do not understand them, and yet ex-
pect the average person to understand
and obey them.
"0f what benefit is the $500 home
stead exemption law?
"Why must counties pay to educate
their rural teachers and the state pay
TO educate city teachers and others.
County, rural, normal schools should
be taken over and supported entirely
by the state like the university and
state normals.
"The laws, rules and regulations of
the insurance and other departments
are getting so complicated and bur-
densome that about one-half of the
business income is needed for admin
istration"
If directors of a stock company
would labor six months to make minor
changes in business methods" Mr..
Boldt said, al believe that they would
be looked upon by the stockholders
as legislators have been on two occa-
sions by the people-that they were
getting all or more than they were
worth.
at does not seem to raise the dig
nifty of legislator to offer for con-
sideration a large lot of petty or per-
sonal junk"
