Less For Highways
Next Year
About Half As Much Will Be Spent
Next Year as This Year, Says
State Highway Engineer.

Wisconsin's highway
program for 1925 will be one of the
smallest in years and will be good
distance behind the work planned by
other states, State Highway Engineer
John I. Donaghey declared today
Not more than IL or 10 million
dollars will be spent on the high
ways next season, compared with
about Is million last season, Dom
aghey said.
County bond issues for highway
purposes have fallen off sharply
Only about million dollars will be
available from this source next
year, against nine or ten million
dollars in previous years,
Appropriations to match about
$2,000,000 in federal aid and reve-
tues from motor license fees will
provide the rest of the revenue for
highway construction.
The state highway engineer is
particularly anxious for the pas
sage Of gasoline tax by the next
legislature. Such a levy will not
increase the aggregate amount
available for road purposes, as it
win replace part of the appropria-
tions usually made by the legislature.
1t will, however, mean more ready
money for highway construction
Donaghey professed himself as
satisfied with the results Of the con
ference which met here Wednesday
to consider the gasoline tax After
approving the levy "in principle. .
the conference spent the rest Of the
time in discussing plans Of distribu-
ting revenues.
'The conference brought out vary.
ing opinions and ideas and gave
everyone a chance to understand the
other side Of the question" Donag-
hey said 1T helped to clear the
air"
Whether the forestry amendment
to the state constitution will Grip.
pie the state highway program i,
not yet concerning the department
according TO Donaghey A suit
probably will be brought to obtain {
judicial Interpretation Of the amend
ment, Donaghey believes. 1t is no
likely, however, that the highwa!
commission will sponsor the action
The initiative probably will be lef
to other interested parties.
The amendment, If strictly inter
preted, would limit expenditures foi
both forestry and highway purpose
to about 100000 il any one year
Most state officials, however, believr
! that the supreme court would inter
pref the amendment according 70 it
intent, which was admittedly onil
to limit forestry expenditures.

Would Wipe Out
Exemption Act
Opposition to Homestead Exemption
Law Growing; Efforts VIII Be
Made to Repeal 1t.

Madison-In spite of the claim of
tax experts that the $500 homestead
exemption law passed at the last
session of the legislature is workable
and step in the direction of reliev-
ing home owners of part of their tax
burdens, it viii take determined
fight to keep the new law in the
statutes when the state law makers
convene in January.
Opposition to the homestead ex-
emption law has come from both
conservative and progressive sources.
A half dozen legislators have an
nounced that their chief efforts will
be launched to wipe the law out of
existence when they get to Madison.
Farmers particularly are incensed
over the working of the exemption,
claiming that it works a hardship on
farm communities Numerous charg-
es have been made to the state tax
commission that assessors merely
raise the valuation of homesteads
$500, then deduct the exemption,
fulfilling the requirements but leav-
ing the net tax on the home the
same as the year before, providing
the tax rate has not increased.
Assemblyman George Schmidt,
Arcaria, is one of the latest legisla-
tors to join the group avowing re-
peal of the exemption provisions. He
is backed by resolution of the coun-
ty board of Trempealeau county
asking its repeal. Assemblyman
Schmidt declares that he viii sup
port any bill asking the repeal of
the law and if another does not in
troduce such a measure he will do so
himself. Schmidt is Blaine sup
porter.
Assemblyman Robert Caldwell,
Lodi, a conservative, has announced
that he will also work for the repeal
of the exemption provisions.
Practically every farmer-legisla
tor who has expressed view on the
homestead exemption law opposes
its provisions. Assemblyman E. B.
Miner, New Richmond, has promised
the people of his district that he will
do all in his power to kill the new
tax provisions.
Gov. John ]. Blaine has appealed
to the state tax commission to force
communities to follow the provisions
of the act with many complaints
reaching the governor that in some
localities valuation was being boost
ed to take care of the exemption.
Although the exemption law had
strong progressive support in the last
session, enthusiasm had died among
many of the leaders who led the dis
cussion for the measure on the floor
two years ago.

VIII Not Attend
Road School
Iron County Will Have But One Of
ficial Representative; Taboo
Placed on Highway Committee.

Iron county will have but one Of
ficial representative, VIM. Weber,
highway commissioner, at the road
school at Madison this year, as the
result of action taken at the ad-
journed annual meeting of the coun-
ty board of supervisors held last
Friday.
Since the road school was establish
ed it has been customary for the
members of the county highway COM
mittee to attend the school, which is
held in January The expenses in
Cured by the committee in making
the trip to and from Madison and
while in the capital have been paid
by the county. AS a matter of
economy the board decided last Fri
day TO not send the highway com
mittee to the school this year.
While it was generally ack-
nowledged that the road schools are
good thing and that those attending
them get considerable benefit, the
county dads felt that it was an ex-
pense that could nicely be avoided
this year.
As a 5urther economy step the
chairman of the board stated that
he would not attend the annual
gathering of county board chairmen
this year, although he declared that
there is no law which says that he
shall not attend at county expense.
The law prohibits the county from
paying the expenses of the highway
committee to the road school.
Vote Funds for Community Fair.
| The board voted to appropriate
$3.50 towards a fund to help defray
| the expenses of community fairs
planned to be held in the county
next fall. The community fairs
were fostered by County Agent Dan
Shaffer. The plans SO far call for
the holding Of fairs at Hurley,
Saxon and Mercer.
The Iron Exchange Bank and the
Hurley National Bank we're declared
repositories FOR county funds. They
will pay interest at the rate Of one
and one-haIf per cent. The Saxon
State Bank will also be made q
/ depository when the bank gets going
again and the county is furnished
surety.
/ Insurance on county buildings vii
hereafter be carried by the state
insurance department, the board
directing that policies now in force
+ be cancelled as they become due anC
i insurance taken out with the state.
The chairman was authorized Il
appoint the highway committee foI
/ the ensuing year
The highway committee was giver
. authority to start condemnation
i proceedings to secure a gravel pit a

Advocates Three
Cent Gas Tax
F. A. Cannon. Good Roads Associa.
tion Secretary, Says Main
Arteries Must Be Surfaced.

Asserting that the proposed gas
oline tax for road purposes was not
really tax. but a service charge on
motor vehicle owners for road use, f.
A. Cannon, Executives Secretary Of
the Good Roads Association Of Wis
consin. in an address before the Mil
waukee Motor Club. advocated
gasoline tax of three cents a gallon,
as necessary if Wisconsin wished to
keep up an adequate road program.
Mr.. Cannon warned his hearers
that our neighboring states, Ninne-
sofa, Michigan and Illinois, would
quickly outstrip us at the present
rate Illinois has voted road bonds
in the sum of $160,000,00O and
Minnesota is starting a road program
on a bond issue of 500. 100000, both
bond issues wholly financed by im-
posts on motor vehicles. Michigan
has bonded for $50, 900, 900 and Iowa
is agitating one of 100000.
1.-The next five years should see
the main arteries from Milwaukee to
st. Paul and Lacrosse, Green Bay
to Eau Claire, Beloit to Ashland.
Eau Claire to Superior, and other
main arteries, surfaced, if we are to
have an adequate state road system,
Under present financial arrange
ments il would take ten to fifteen
years. Given three ent gas tax
and it would be finished in five
years.
"The surfacing of these roads is
in the interest of the motor vehicle
owner--for a three cent gasoline tax
would be cheaper for the motor We
hicle owner than the bad road tax.
The so-called gasoline tax is really
not a tax-not a levy for the sup
port of the general government but
is means to provide funds which
are essential for the operation of
an automobile. 1t is service charge
for road use.
1.-THE motor vehicle and the high
way is single transportation en-
tity, and the cost of the vehicle, its
operation and the cost Of the roads
over which it must run is a single
financial entity
