| for coal fields, and ore on the north,
with an abundance of timber. The
climate is excellent. We have many
natural advantages that ought to make
Wisconsin the greatest industrial state
in the union for its size. These ad-
vantages ought to invite industries to
trially to a considerable extent, but
not to the exent we should have, con-
sidering our position.
Blames Tax Programs.
Zone reason for this is the tax and
legislative program of the state. The
larger proportion of the state being
agricultural, it is not so clearly real
lied that industry deserves the atten-
tion it should have from the state. The
slogan seems to be soak the industries
on the lake shore / have always con-
tended that to make Wisconsin prosper
both industrially and agriculturally,
the state should seek a balance be-
tween agriculture and industry. In
dustry forms the home market for
agriculture.
"0ne instance will prove my point.
Last year only S.4 per cent of the
total Nash production was sold in Wis
consin. This is true of many indus
tries of the state claiming a national
distribution. The products shipped out
of the state bring money into it. The
Nash Motors company buys raw and
Finished materials from 166 manufact-
uring concerns in the state of Wiscon-
sin. Its business with the Seaman
P0Ixy IL 4
average of 100000 a month. The Nash
Motors company will pay the first of
the year in taxes to the state approx
imately $4,648,000, and to the federal
government $4,000, 900. The Nash
Motors company contributed to the
soldier bonus fund for Wisconsin sold
iers 100000. That was about as much
as the total paid to every veteran from
Kenosha county.
What Nash Did In s Years.
"Since taking over the Jeffrey COM
pany in August, 1916, the Nash Motors
company has sold 1924, 170,094.S2 worth
of its product. Last year the sales
ran over $58,590,000. Our sales for
this month of October alone will in
all probability run over $1,000, 600.
During that eight years the Nash
Motors company paid in Kenosha $48,-
318,459 in wages and salaries-and this
was all paid in the city Of Kenosha.
How much of this circulated among
| the merchants here is at most guess.
"There is much said in Wisconsin
about the trend Of taxation. Figures
show that in 1915, the tax rate on
rural property in the state was $1.01.
In 1922, the last available figures, the
rate was $1.49 or an increase of At IL
| per cent. Now the tax rate on city
property in 1915, was $1.66. In 1922
| it was $2.67, or an increase of sos per
cent. These are United States census
/ figures, and l believe they have con-
siderable significance in any discus
sion of industrial development in Wis
consin. There seems to be no sign of
any decrease even at this time-on the
contrary, we see about US every indi-
cation that the burden upon industry
| is being made heavier.
"But be the situation as it may" de-
clared Judge Afford in concluding,
"the facts stand that industry is the
backbone of the states welfare and
progress, and it should share equally
with agriculture in favorable attention
from the state legislature"

total value of all agricultural products
In the state of Wisconsin last year in
Guiding dairy and farm products and
all livestock, was S7s0,616,28S. The
total value of manufactured products
in the state for the same period was
$1,846, 1884 900, or two and one half
times more the value of farm products.
Represents Greater Investment.
''The total value of farm property in
the state is listed at $1,000 900 900.
while manufacturing plants, including
machinery, stock, etc., in the state,
represents an investment of S1,371,-
100000.
Coming nearer at home we find that
the value of manufactured products in
the city of Kenosha last year was ap-
proximately Sos, 1000, with a pay
roll of $20,000,000. This money was
paid almost exclusively to residents of
the city of Kenosha, and it is reason
able to believe that goodly portion of
this money was spent right here in
Kenosha. Now the effect on the sur
rounding communities is very signi-
ficant. 1t afforded home markets for
all manner of farm produce. 1t in
creased. the value of farm property
and farm products about Kenosha ire
mendously. Surrounding farms re-
ceive the benefit of Kenosha's indus
trial development where they wouldn't
receive nearly so much if they were
surrounded entirely by rural environ
ment."
The speaker then cited several con-
crete cases showing how the value of
farm products was materially increas-
ed because of the proximity of an in
dustrial center presenting an extensive
market for the farmer and providing
the city dweller with a field for the
production of farm products close at
hand.
Entire State Should Benefit.
eff we could develop industry
throughout the state as it is in Keno
sha," the speaker continued, "the bene-
fits would be more statewide than
they are. l know of farmer at Ke-
waunee who complained to me in a
conversation at Madison some time
ago, that the farmer was being taxed
too highly and that the manufacturer
should be made to take off a great
zeal VI Cn6C DuTueHs MS particular
farmer is in the milk-producing bust
ness. He produces 600 pounds of milk
per day. He told me he was getting
$3.50 a hundred pounds for his milk.
Now, Kewaunee is in the center of a
rich agricultural section. I know that
at the same time Kenosha farmers
were getting 1910 for their milk. Now
contend that the difference Of $130
was due to the fact that there is a
greater market, while in Kewaunee the
market is restricted because almost
everyone in that section produces the
milk for their own consumption. How
fortunate that district would be if it
developed industrially, bringing to it a
larger population of factory workers
to be provided for by these same farm
ers.
"But there is one reason why this
isn't so easy. For years industry in
this state has felt that the laws enact
ed by the legislature at Madison are
not so favorable to industry as those
of surrounding states. Wisconsin is
an ideal state for manufacturing. Our
lake region is backed up by a wonder
full agricultural section. We have the
lake for economical transportation.
We have excellent railroad facilities.
We have Illinois and Indiana nearby

Murder In Little

Bold Gun Gang

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 90
Two tnotives for the slaying of
Rosalina La Fata, "Little Italy
Beau Brummel, were recognized by
police today as the search for the
slayers continued.
One is that La Fata refused to
share the profits OF his business
with gunmen recently arrived here
from New York; the second, that
La Fata refused to subscribe funds
for the defense of his brother, Piet-
ro La Fata, charged with two 9th
ers with kidnapping and robbing
Mimi Imperator, opera impressario.
The police were informed that gun
men recently have arrived here from
New York and have been ..'strong

Italian quarter, and attempting to
extort funds. Angelo Domenichini
recently was murdered by the band,

This same difficulty confrontS
the Angels, who are training at

CHARLES PADDOCK
COMMENTS ON THE
OLYMPIC TRY0UTS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 29-Though
there will be a smaller number of
athletes taken across to the Olym-
pic games this summer than i'll 1920,
there will be more tryouts held,
and a better chance for the ath-
letes to make the team, according to
Charles w. Paddock, world S sprint
champion, in the Pasadena Star
News. .-
"In California, for example, -
Paddock says, "instead OF there
being single far west tryout as
was the case in 1920, there will be
tryouts for the. northwest, held i'll
Portland, tryouts at Stanford uni
versity for northern and central
California and tryouts i'll Southern
California, for this section and Ari-
Zona.

California stars will be divided.
Under this tryout system each man
