MAY ORGANIZE
STATE DAIRY MEN
State Conference Sought to
Secure Cooperation in
Marketing.
gCHUMANN is LEADER

Watertown, Wis. A conference Of
Wisconsin milk producers and con-
densory operators looking toward a
cooperative and uniform movement
for organization, was advocated by
State Senator John C. Schumann of
WATERFOWL, in a statement issued here
today. Senator SchUmann declared
that there is a feeling of dissatisfac-
ton and unrest among milk producers
at the present time which has result
ed in a movement toward organization.
The drive for uniform organization
will be carried into the most import
ant condensory Districts Of the state,
he declared.
"From information obtained from
the state department of markets, there
seems to be a large organization eff
fort among farmers, most of WHICH
is conferred in milk marketing, both in
fluid and condensory sections Sena-
tor Schumann said. "It now is most
important that these commodity or
CARNATIONS are organized along the
right lines in order that they may
function properly and thereby be of
a greater benefit to the individual
farmer.
Would Include All.
'I urge that there. be conference
called Of farmer representatives from
condensory sections that uniform or
ganization plans may be studied. If
such conference is not called, local
groups will be formed under a large
variation of plans which may hamper
their success and make state organ
ization impossible.
"Condensory plants are scattered
in every part of Wisconsin and a close
observation of prices paid will reveal
that there is not much variation, tie
prices ranging from $2.15 for 3.5 to
$3.50. 1t is noticeable that in some
sections the standard price is based
on four per cent test and that at
such points, the prices are higher per
hundred pounds of milk, but in most
instances the price is lower than the
price fixed on the 3.5 base.
Farmers must realize that it is i'm
portant that they bind themselves -
their organization by tight contract.
1t also is necessary that SUCH organ
izations be thoroughly democratic, max
ing all important ventures only ma
jority vote of the members"
Senator Schumann recently con-
ferred with the state marketing Off
Gals regarding this plan.

CALLS IT

Reasons for Kenosha to continue to
oppose the plan Of the city of Chicago
to take 10000 cubic feet of water per
second from Lake Michigan for the
purposes of the Chicago drainage can
al were clearly set forth in com
munication received this morning by
City Manager G. M. Osborn from Will
liam George Bruce, president of the
Board of Harbor Commissioner of Mil
waukee and also of the Great Lakes
Harbor association. This communica-
ton sets out anew the damage which
it is alleged will be done to Kenosha
harbor and all harbors in the lakes if
the Chicago drainage canal is allowed
to carry out its present program.
"This comes to Kenosha at a most
opportune time" declared City Man
ager Osborn. "Mr. Baumgartner and
other representatives of the Chicago
Sanitary Commission are now in Ke-
nosha feeling the pulse Of citizens here
regarding this project. 1t is import
ant that the citizens of Kenosha con-
slider the statements made by Presi-
dent Bruce as to what he believes will
be the affect of the carrying out of
the Chicago drainage project. There
is, of course, the other side to the
question, which l believe has been pre-
scented to the city"

RECLAIMED LAND
PAID THE BILL
Value of Land Reclaimed
by Garbage Collection is
More Than Cost.
A BIG JOB WELL DONE


Collecting ashes, garbage and other
refuse in Kenosha is no small job, ac-
cording to the report of Peter J. Hurt
gen director of public works, which
department carries on this part of the
work of the city. This report has just
been fled with the city manager for
the year 1928 and it contains many in
teresting statistics for taxpayers of
the city.
There were total of 1850 loads
or 34,413 cubic yards of waste mater
ials disposed Of by the garbage de-
partment during the year. This is an
average of nearly forty loads for each
working day. Measured by weight
this was 20,234 tons. AS large as
these figures are they do not represent
all of the rubbish collected in Keno
sha during the year. There were IT,
TAG loads or 35,492 cubic yards of dirt,
ashes, garbage or other refuse received
at the Park street dump from other
sources bringing the total to 5000
cubic yards.
This service has been of great value
to the city in keeping it in a sanitary
condition. In addition it has meant
the reclaiming of 2,414 acres of lake
land which is valued at $43,452, In
addition three trips a week were made
to the city poor farm where forty hogs
were fattened on garbage delivered
to the farm by the city department.
Also 1873 loads of dirt were dumped on
the extension of Lake avenue which
amount is not included in the value
of reclaimed land.
1t is interesting to note that March
and Apra-the two early spring months
go down as the busiest ones for the
garbage men. The records show that
in April there were 1851 loads Of rub
bish handled, and in March only a
few less. Other months hover
around the $50 total. This is taken to
indicate that most Of the citizens get
the Cleaning up habit in April.
VERY Few Complaints.
The report also shows that com
paratively few complaints have been
fled against the garbage department.
In no month did the complaints aver
age more than one in two days, and
in most of the months there was less
than an average of two-tenths Of q
complaint day. This is considered
remarkable record in view of the
large amount of work done by the de
partment.
The total operating cost of the de-
partment was $41, 1881, slightly less
than the value set upon the land re-
claimed through the work. This total
puts the operating cost for each resi-
dent of the city at sninety-one cents per
year, asking for an outlay of two and
four tenths cents out Of each tax dol
lar.
There are shown to be g ,43O patrons
of the department from which there
were a total of only II complaints
throughout the entire year.

Southport, successor to the village
of Pike Creek was built on the pres
ent site of Kenosha. The little group
of sturdy pioneers, among whom were
the fathers of some Of the present
older citizens, built better than they
knew. Perhaps they had dreams of a
day when a great city should be built
somewhere along the shore of this
big inland sea; perhaps the most Wis
ionary Of them looked for congested
settlements, great buildings, indicative
of exceptional prosperity such as is
now enjoyed. But it would not be
strange if those first settlers really
despaired of the growth of the town
which they established, and in the
first hard winters of it's settlement
longed to return to the old comforts
of their native New York. But hap

KENOSHACO
IN FINE SHAPE
County Treasurer's Report
Shows Fine Condition
of Finances.
DELINQUENTS PAY UP

Kenosha county's finances are in an
excellent condition despite the strain
made on them due to the fact that a
new magnificent court" house is being
erected by the county. This was one
of the interesting things shown by the
report of County Treasurer Thomas S.
Scott which has just been fled at the
court house.
The report shows that the county
went over into the new year with $780,
675.38 in the treasury as against $116,-
482.63 at the opening of the year 1928.
1t shows that the total receipts from
all sources during the year 1928 were
S1,306,510.61 with disbursements total
ling s1,220,317.S6.
Court House Money Invested.
The cash balance represents only
part Of the assets of the county. Money
which has been secured for the con-
tinuance of the work on the court
house is not lying idle but has been
invested in government certificates and
is drawing interest for the county up
until the time when it will be needed
to make payment on the building.
In this way the county has $685.
600 worth of four per cent certificates
of the United States government due
June 15, 1924, and $4,000 worth of
four and one-half per cent govern
ment certificates which will become
due March Is, 1924.
The county also owns tax certificates
valued at s45 ,994.77 and court house
bonds worth $48,ooo.
Collect Delinquent Tax.
In that part of the report which deals
with the revenue collected in the treas
urers Office during 1923, it is shown
that interests, fees and penalties for
the collection of delinquent taxes
totalled S10,727.86, the largest in the
history of the country. This is large
ly for property which was declared de-
linquent as result of this slight in
dustrial depression here in the post
war days and the fact that this large
amount of it has been redeemed is
more evidence of the prosperity which
now exists in Kenosha.
Other items of the revenues collect
ed are: Interest on repositories for
entire year, $921.S6; interest on gov
eminent certificates, $9,S75.O0; inter
est on court house bonds, $2,095.21; in
heritance tax retained in county, sew
en- and one-half per cent of $10,077.-
az. the balance paid to the state,
$756.09.
The total Of $24,376.o2 for revenue
from the Office for the year is the best
record ever made in the history of
the office.

Settle Insurance
Claim i'm Court

The case of H. H. Lackey, against
the A. H. Dahl company for payment
of insurance on a stolen ear, was set
tied in court yesterday after the jury
had listened to testimony for more
than five hours. Lackey, who is the
Wisconsin representative for the
Peninsula Coal company, purchased
the Ford from the Dahl company and
paid the required insurance premium.
The insurance company refused to
accept the risk at the Wisconsin rate
when they learned that the car was to
be kept in Chicago. Mr.. Dahl took the
matter up with Lackey, and while ne
gotiation was in progress, the car was
stolen. Mr.. Dahl, through his attorney,
Edward Higgins, agreed to pay $500
and return II unpaid notes to Lackey.
Lackey was represented by Clarence
J. Fisher and Roy S. Stephenson.

STATE RADIO STATION
TO BE MOST POWERFUL
Stevens Point Station of Marketing
Bureau to Have Real
Punch Now.

Stevens Point, Wis. The state
marketing department radio station
which will be moved here from Wau-
paca by Feb. Is will probably be the
most powerful station in the state,
according to plans just completed by
state officials and the local Chamber
of Commerce.
Under the new plan the station will
be heard at distance of from 5000
to 1000 miles it is thought. Applica-
tion has already been made to the fed
eral government to place the station
in Glass B rather than in Glass c..
Glass includes the most powerful
broadcasting stations in the country.
The 110-foot steel aerials Of the
new station are to be located on top
of the Hotel Whiting and the broad
cast studio will also be located in 4
room of the hotel. The states sta
tion is now designated as WPAH but
it is probable that when the change
is made the scalp will also be
changed.
The Chamber of Commerce has
agreed to provide all evening concerts
sent from the station and already
numerous programs have been plan
ned including orchestral selections
jazz and otherwise and short dramas.
Students of the Stevens Point Nor
NAL school will also cooperate in fur
nishing numbers for the evening con
certs. The daytime programs are to
be enlarged also.
An arrangement was entered into
by the state department of markets
and the Chamber of Commerce of
Stevens Point whereby the added ex-
pense incidental 20 enlargement of the
station is shared by the two.

A GLOOMY PICTURE
FOR FUTURE FARMERS
Richard I. Ely Sees Farm Lands Re-
come Lands of State with Farm
ers as Tenants.

Duluth, Mimi Farm lands in q
majority of states will become state
lands and farmers virtual tenants Of
the states unless the rapid movement
in which land taxes are approximating
land values is checked, DIR. Richard 7.
Ely, director of the national institute
of land research and economist of the
University of Wisconsin declared in
an address before the Tri-State Con-
gress, including Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan, here today.
"The present era of economic evo-
luton require an extra overhauling
of our ideas of taxation and a new
program with respect to expenses and
revenues of government" DR.. Ely said.
The nation is drifting toward a state
Of tenancy. Under the present move
ment tenure will become permanent,
unless taxes excel considerably the
annual value of the land.
I'VE have come to a time when in
the interest of the people, further
progress must be met by indirect tax
alton, supplementing the direct taxes.
Certain sales taxes paid day by day in
small sums will be an easy burden
to bear. They will enter into the gen
eral expenses of living ard adjustments
will be made so that no one will carry
heavy burden"
DR.. Ely expressed himself as favor
ing the income and property taxes in
a modification and readjustment of
present tax systems. He opposed de-
struetiye taxes on forests and mineral
lands.
