Wisconsin Steadily Losing.
What has actually happened:
Il. Extensions are being made in
other states. The future is beyond
our influence.
z. Wisconsin has lost the right to
assess income taxes on income which
results from sales outside the state.
BY grasping at shadows we have lost
the substance.
%. Wisconsin has lost the right
to assess income taxes against the in
dlvidual officers who have changed
their residences to states where state
income taxes are less or not at ALL
a. We have also lost the right to
assess substantial inheritance taxes
when they pass on.
IS. Most of all, Wisconsin loses
the advantage of the abilities and en-
terprise of the men who were in po-
sitfon to add to the wealth and pros
Derity of our state.

1T is at once apparent that Wis
consin has lighter per capita gener-
al property tax than any of the other
states listed. 1t also imposes by far
the heaviest taxes on other sources
which include income taxes, railroads
and inheritances. That is the situa-
ton under the law as it now is and
takes no account Of the radical chang
es proposed in the last legislature.
Has Curtailed Capital.
"The result of all this agitation has
been to curtail the introduction of
new capital into this state and to Inv
crease its flow to other states where
there is better recognition of the
value of industries to the states pros
perity.
"The statement of industrial men
that factories are removing from the
state are either Intentionally or will
fully misinterpreted. A physical re-
moval of plants is wholly unnecessary
to accomplish actual removal for tax
purposes. Such great national insti-
tutions as Johns-Manville, Simmons
and Palmolive, which grew to great
ness as Wisconsin institutions are
now alienated to other states. In

Former Sheriff VIM. Rauen
Seeks Republican Nomi-
nation Again.
SCHMITT FOR REGISTER
John Schmitt Now Register
of Deeds Takes Out
Registers Papers.

Another entry was made in the race
for the Republican nomination for
sheriff of Kenosha County this morn
ing wheA William Rauen, former sher-
if, took out papers to put his name
on the ballot. He is the third to
enter the sheriff race, Roy B. White
and William j. Frazier also seeking
the Republican nomination.
Mr.. Rauen served as sheriff for a
two year term, preceding Sheriff Pabst
in office. He is widely known through
out the county and city and has many
friends throughout the county to adj
vance his candidacy. His candidacy
came as no surprise as it had been
an open secret in political circles that
he would be entered in the race for
the Office this year.
Hear of Other Candidates.
There are reports of several other
candidates for sheriff to seek the Re-
able the race will be the closest that
it has been in many years. 1t ap-
pears to be the most eagerly sought
Office on the list for the county cleo
tions in the fall.
Schmitt in Register Race.
Another interesting and familiar
figure has come forward to participate
in the election preliminaries.
This is John F. Schmitt, the present
register of deeds, who will seek the
nomination this fall on the democratic
ticket Mr.. Schmitt has served as reg
lister before, and his engaging per-
sonality is we'll before the public.
Johnny Schmitt chose today for the
time of taking out his nomination pa
pers, because this is the seventeenth
anniversary Of his marriage, and he
took it for a happy day in which to
make political step.
Mr.. Schmitt was born the year the
present red brick court house was
erected, in 1885, and should he be
elected, he would be the first register
of deeds in the new court house,
and the last in the old, linking the
two periods.
81 have nothing more to say than
that if elected" said Register of Deeds
Schmitt today, Il would continue to
give the same faithful service to the
position of register that / have in the
past. While l shall run on the Dem
ocratic ticket, the Office is a nom
partisan one, and where I serve those
who like me and those who do not
with the same impartiality"

ORGANIZE TO
HELP HOSPITAL
Will Make Every Effort to
Aid st. GATHERINGS
Hospital Soon.
MUST ACT QUICKLY
Situation Such that Quick Ac-
ton Only Will Enable Sisters
to Continue It's Operation.

Steps were taken Monday evening
at general meeting held in the ST.
James school assembly hall to organ
ize movement to retain the st. Cath
ines hospital for Kenosha.
More than one hundred and fifty
persons attended the meeting and
showed an active interest in the move
ment to be carried on to provide funds
which will prevent the closing of the
institution and keep the order of Sis
tiers in Kenosha.
The hospital has reached turning
of the ways. Either approximately
$50, 900 must be raised to meet a mort
gage now on the property and present
deficits or the institution will be
closed within a few months. If this
amount can be secured arrangements
have been made with bonding firm
in Chicago whereby extensive I'M
provements and additions to the. hos
pital can be financed.
To Meet Manufacturers.
After a thorough discussion of the
situation, it was decided that negotl-
ations would be taken up with the
hospital committee of the Kenosha
Manufacturers association in an effort
to work tremendously with them to
establish the best possible hospital
facilities for Kenosha at as Iowa cost
as possible. 1t is hoped that. some
way may be found through these nego-
tiations to solve the hospital problem.
A committee was named and author
lied to effect an organization which
will attempt to raise the funds need
ed to continue the operation of the
hospital
1t was the sentiment of the meeting
that the order which came to Keno
sha and for several years has operated
the ST. GATHERINGS hospital has done
a real service to the city and that this
service is recognized. The st. Cath
crimes hospital has filled real need
for additional hospital facilities in
Kenosha and is well equipped to con-
tinue this work in the event that some
way can be found TO finance it through
the present situation.

CHOCOLATE.

Just 400 years ago Azetcs in Mex

Europe the delights of chocolate, "the
food of the gods" Spaniards took it
back with them.
Prohibitionists of those days fought
chocolate because, served as drink,
it cut down the use of alcohol. And if
liquor came back i'm America, you'd
find chocolate makers fighting it be-
cause prohibition has jumped the sales

EMERALDS.

Leonard Rosenthal sells more pearls,
diamonds and other precious stones
than any other man in the world. He
handles 800 million dollars worth of
gems a year.
He passes the tip that emeralds are
a good buy for investment purposes,
because he believes that the emerald
will eclipse the diamond and pearl as
the fashionable stone in the next few
years. Before buying, ponder whether
Rosenthal is clairvoyant or merely de-
sirous of stimulating the market for
emeralds.
