NEW AUTO LICENSES
ARE BEING ISSUED
Persons Who Plan to Operate Cars
Through the Winter Are Ex-
pected to Renew Their
Licenses.

Madison-The first 1924 auto
mobile licenses were mailed from the
secretary of states office the latter
part of last week and if 1924 brings
an increase in cars over 1928 equal
to that of 1928 over 1922, the state
will have about 100000 motor
vehicles.
So many things govern the ques-
ton of motor vehicle increases that
it is hard to estimate what the new
increase will be, according to Alex
Cobban, in charge of automobile
licensing. 1t is believed possible that
half million automobiles will be
licensed for next year.
The last request for a special
license number was accepted by the
licening bureau Thursday night and
in the future license purchasers will
be forced to take the numbers as
they come. A total of 5000 APP
plications for special numbers have
been received by the secretary of
states office and these will be filled.
Gov. John j. Blaine and Senator
Robert M. La Toilette are among the
5000 to receive special licenses. The
governors car will continue to have
number 1 and number Is has
already been sent to Senator
La Toilette.
The year 1923 saw total of 1885,
TIA Wisconsin motor vehicles ac-
cording to records by Mr.. Cobban.
Considerable extra work is ex-
pected in the issuing of licenses this
year. In order to obtain a license,
car owners must furnish complete
information of their machines, such
as the serial number, the make, the
model, approximate weight. Early
applications show that much of the
information mailed in is lacking
detail and the application must be
sent back for further information.
Wisconsin records show the rapid
development and increase in cars.
In 1875 the legislature offered a
$4,000 prize for the maker of a
motor driven vehicle that should
win a 200 mile race in the state. A
steam driven machine that looked
like a cross between a steam roller
and farm tractor won the race with
an average speed of six miles an hour
but was only awarded $4,000.
In 1905 there were only 1892
motor vehicles in the state. By
1910 the number had increased to
over $4,000 and the number went
over 100,O in 1916. The year
1922 saw a total Of 1926 motor
vehicles.
How much money the state will
net from its new weight tax license
law has no. yet been determined. 1t
is estima. ] that it will bring be-
tween $5,000,O00 and $6,0OO,000.
This, however, is only a rough
estimate with no certain information
concerning the number of different
classes of cars in the state.

HOMESTEAD TAX EXEMPTION
NOW IN EFFECT
All Homes Are Exempt From Tax
alton Up to $500; Means a Big
Saving in the State.

Madison-Taxes on all homes in
Wisconsin lake a decided slump
starting the first of the year 1924
with the new law exempting all
homes from taxation up to $500
The law provides for the exemp-
ton on improvements of home
steads, but in view of the fact that
al. homes practically are valued over
that figure the exemption applies to
every mans domicile.
As an example, home in
Madison with the local tax rate
which is valued at $4,000 pay about
500 in taxes this year. With the
exemption next year. the same home
on the same basis will pay about $S7
With the state average of two per
cent tax rate it is estimated that
home owners will be relieved in
taxes to the extent Of S3,550,000
The total state assessment is about
s4,100, 100000
The homestead exemption bill
first made its appearance at the
last session of the legislature with
provisions for exempting homesteads
to the extent Of three times the
amount finally provided. 1t was
strongly supported by the pro-
gressives in both houses of the
legislature. A homestead exemption
clause was one of the planks in Gov
John j. Blaine's platform.
1t is estimated that about two
thirds of the Wisconsin people own
their own homes, total Of about
$4,000 families.

With the death of Oscar Nordby
at Runstrom's hospital in Ironwood
New Years Eve, Paul Santini, local
saIoonkeeper who is alleged to have
made the assault on Nordby Wednes-
dav evening of last week, with the
result that Nordby suffered wounds
which proved fatal, is charged with
murder in a warrant sworn to by the
district attorney.
Shortly after Nordby was taken to
the hospital complications are said
TO have set in and his death was
caused by meningitis. He suffered
deep cash near the left eye, and
had he lived it is probable that he
would have lost the sight of the eye.
It is believed that Santini showed the
barrel Of a revolver into Nordby's
eve when they clashed in the rear of
Santinis saloon following quarrel
earlier in the evening.
Santini, who went into hiding or
escaped from the city following the
assault, is still at large. Efforts of
the autorities to apprehend him have
50 far proved unavailing. 1t was at
first believed that Santini remained
in hiding pending the outcome of his
victims wounds and that he would
give himself up, but now that Nord-
by has died and a murder charge
hanging over his assailant Santini
will probably make every effort to
avoid arrest. In response to rumor
that Santini had been seen at Iron
Mountain, Sheriff Joseph Volant
vent to that city, but found that
there was no foundation for the
rumor and returned Thursday morn
ing.
That every effort will be made to
bring Santini before the bar of
justice is shown by the action of the
Iron county authorities in offering
reward of $500 for information
leading to the arrest of Nordby's
assaiant, The announcement of
the reward was made Thursday by
District Attorney Warren Foster
following consultation with Daniel
Reid, chairman Of the Iron county
board Of supervisors.
Descriptions of Santini have been
0fpadcasted throughout the central
northwest, but had Iron county
authorities been able to accompany
he descriptions with photo the task
Of running down Santini would be
somewhat easier. Santini, it is
aid never had his picture taken,
and for that reason Iron county
authorities were unable to obtain a
photo Of the man.
Santlnl, if apprehended, will not
only have to face a charge of
murder but viii also have to defend

STEEL CORPORATION
HAS NO MONOPOLY
Figures Show That independents
Shipped More Ore From Lake
Superior Than the Steel
Corporation.

OF the iron ore shipped from Lake
Superior by boat during the season
of navigation the Oliver Iron Mining
company shipped 27,4l1 351 gross
tons and the Independents shipped a
total of S1,625,35S tons. This
makes the grand total of lake ship
ments for the season of 1928, So
036,704 gross tons, as reported by
the Lake Superior Iron Ore associa-
ton at the end of the period this
year. These figures do not include
6l2,4S1 tons shipped all rail to final
destination by the Oliver, says Skill
lings Mining Review.
The particular interest which
seems to attach to this information
is the fact that once more is refuted
the false report which has been so
industriously disseminated for years
that the Steel corporation has
monopoly of the iron ore industry
of Lake Superior. The news this
year would otherwise call for no
special comment.
1t has been asserted time and
again, in congress and in the legisla-
lures of the states bordering on Lake
Superior, that the Steel corporation
enjoys a monopoly of the iron ore
of this great district, and this was
supposed to afford sound reasoning
for radical lawmakers for putting
over tonnage taxes and other unjust
legislation The lawmakers ap-
peared to feel that as long as they
were handling something hard to take
to the Steel corporation that their
constituents would applaud In or
der to escape the criticism which
might come from imposing hardship
on Independent operators, such mea-
sures were announced as being di-
rected against the leading individual
interest in the iron and steel bust
ness, just as if the unjust burden
would not affect the small operator
in the same proportion as the bigger
one.
The proportion of ore shipped by
the Oliver Iron Mining company this
season for the Steel Corporation
bears about the same ratio to the
total ore movement as usual The
total for the Independents invariab-
ly is greater than the total ship
ments of the Steel corporation.
Shipments from the iron mines
operated by The NJ. A. Hanna com
pany interests in tire Lake Superior
district during the season of 1928
totaled 1884, 563 gross tons as com
pared with 2,590,014 tons in 1922.

GET MORE FROM STATE THAN
THEY PAY IN TAXES
Forty-two Counties Received More
State Aid Money Than They
Turned Over in Taxes.

Madison-Forty-two Of the II
Wisconsin counties received more
money in state aid funds during the
fiscal year ending June 80, than they
paid into the state treasury, it is
claimed in a bulletin issued by the
state tax commission. The remain
ing 20 counties paid considerably
more to the state than they received,
it is said.
The compilation shows a balance
of only $1,451 ,466 retained by the
state in taxes paid by the counties.
The II counties paid into the treas
ury in taxes during the year $8,301,-
388 and the state returned in aids a
total of S6,849,922, according to the
bulletin.
Deducted from the taxes paid into
the state treasury in addition to the
aids, is the excess in motor vehicle
license funds which the counties are
said to have received through the
apportionment under the state
motor law and through highway
dIlObHGHJS,
As an example, it is pointed out,
Adams county paid the state in gen.
eral property taxes a total of $751;
302, in normal income taxes, SIS,
and teachers retirement fund surtax,
$40. The county received in excess
motor vehicle license funds $14,011,
leaving a balance of only $1,379
which is claimed to have remained in
the state treasury. Adams county,
on the other hand, is reported to
have received in state aids a total of
S22,693 which that county is said to
have received from the state COM
pared with the amount it paid.
1t is claimed that Iron county has
received $18,865 more in state aid
than it paid to the state during the
year.

against him by Mrs. H. c. Hansen,
sister of Oscar Nordby, through
Attorney Marion F. Reid. Santini is
known to have possessed considerable
property, but it is claimed that some
time ago he transferred the title to
the property to his wife. 1t is
claimed that he was prompted to
take this step on account of trouble
he had had with man named Ryan,
also of Ironwood, who sought settle
ment for injuries to his person said
to have been inflicted by Santini.
The body of Oscar Nordby was
shipped to Duluth Thursday morning
for burial, accompanied by his sister,
Mrs. H. c. Hansen, the only surviv
ing relative, and her husband. Nord-
by was q member of the Masonic
fraternity, members of the Ironwood
lodge escorting the body the train.
He lived at Duluth for a number of
years, coming to Ironwood about q
year ago to enter the employ of the
Scott & Howe Lumber company as a
blacksmith.

 The paper has been dressed up to perfection and many new features added since the associates arrived. A sporting page, with the latest data of sports throughout the world IS featured; cuts of various nature are scattered through its columns, giving it a splendid appearance. The make up seems general to what it has been. All in all, the Alaskan will stay with the camp and try to give its readers in Anchorage what they want, was statement made recently by MT. Jes- sen. One thing that makes newspaper work in Anchorage pleasure is that a contemporary exists, one of no mean reputation, which adds to make the paper stand out if they are in earnest efforts to get along in the community.
 The men mentioned in this article should find no trouble in giving the people of Anchorage a wholesome pa per, fit to enter any home, as they are all men, as the saying goes, born with a newspaper diploma in their hands"

"BEWARESn FOR GIRLS

1.-Never marry a man who does not read the sport sections of the newspapers. Young fellows who pro fess no interest in manly, outdoor athletic sports are not apt to be interested in anything or anybody but themselves. They make poor husbands.
 2.-Never marry man who plays cards for money. Love for games of chance is almost certain to sup plant all other loves, greater than love for home, wife and children. he has no bad habits. He is pretty such to have vice much worse than smoking or even drinking. If he's of the "holier than thou" variety he soon will become a pest.
 4-Never marry a man your par ents object to, unless your parents are most unreasonable. If is court history that 65 per cent of all elope- ments end in the divorce court.
 5.-Never marry a man who says he does not care for children. He's an unnatural, selfish man and not to be trusted.
 6.-Never marry man because he is a good dancer. Perhaps that is the only thing he can do we'll. Men who have intelligent feet seldom have anything in their heads.
 7.-Never marry a man who de tests dogs. If you do you'll find he is incapable of loving anything, even himself. Something is wrong with that sort of man.
 S.-Never marry man who drinks on the sly. If he isn't fair and square on that subject, he'll deceive you and cause you many a heart break on other accounts. The "sil- ent drinker" never makes good husband. He can't
 9-Never marry man who Speaks |slightingly of your parents, or of |old people. He's not the man for any woman. He'll neglect you when you begin to get wrinkled and gray
 10.--Never marry until you are old enough to know what you are doing. Eixteen-year-old brides too often are 17-year-old grass widows.

''BEWARES" FOR MEN

1.-Never marry girl who has lily white hands when her mothers are caloused and roughened by hard work. That girl won't be a good help mate.
 2.-Never marry a girl who wants you to take her to a show every night and is never content to let you "sit up" with her in her own home. She's not the type that will make a home for you. 3-Never marry a girl who keeps her room on the parlor filtered with signed photographs of former or present beaux. She's a collector of heart throbs, and she, more than likely, won't stop flirting after she marries you.
 4.-Never marry a girl who is ashamed of her parents and does not want you to meet them. She's the wrong sort of a girl for any man.
 5.-Never marry girl whose only thought is clothes. If that is the calibre of her brain she'll never be real wife or mother. Always she will be a clothes hanger and she'll keep you BROKE.
 6.-Never marry girl who insists that you take her to places of amusement that are beyond your means. If she is that thoughtless before marriage, she will not bother about your financial affairs after your marriage.
 7.-Never marry a girl who is i'm modest in her dress. No man wants to blush because of his wife's ap- pearance And never marry a girl who is slovenly and untidy. That in a short time, will kill even the most ardent love.
 8-Never marry the promiscuous kisser. She'll cause you lots of grief and heart bangs later on.
 9.-Never marry girl several years older than yourself or many years younger. The difference in ages will cause many a "spat" later on and "spats" are the harbingers of alimony.
 1O.-And never marry girl who is not fond of children. That sort oi girl is not natural. Childless homes except in unusual cases, are not en during.

ers, so that alienation and lack of
contact is inevitable among the diff
ferent categories.
This is, in general, the character
Of the contradictions existing be-
tween lines laid down by the Party
and their actual execution.
It is far from my intention to ac-
cuse the local organizations Of being
to blame for this deviation from
Party lines, for, when the matter is
regarded in its true light, It is not
a case of anyone being to blame, it
is rather natural evil arising from
our organizations in the provinces.
The root Of this evil, and the remedy
for it, | shall refer to later.
! wish first to establish this fact,
in order that the contradictions may
be explained, and shall then attempt
to propose measures for removing
the evil.
And it is equally far from my in
tention to regard our Central as en-
tirely blameless, for it has its small
sins, like any other organization or
institution, sins composed partly of
faults and partly of natural evil.
Some blame is deserved, if only for
the fact that the Central, for some
reason or another, did not observe
the growing inadequacies and take
timely measures for their removal.
But this is not the question at the
moment; what is of Importance at
present is to get at the causes of
the inadequacies of which / have

bership of the Party is necessary,
it is not needful for an election ac-
tually to take place.
The Party has laid down the rule
that the masses in the country must
be kept informed of the work done
by the economic organs, by the un-
dertakings and trusts, for our Party
nuclei are naturally morally respon-
sible to the non-partisan masses for
deficiencies in the works and fac
tories. Nevertheless, the Party adj
illustrators have been Of the opin-
ion that since we have a Central.
and this gives instructions 70 the
economic o. gans, and the, .--:..mic
organs are further bound by these
instructions. that the instructions
thus passed on shall be also carried
out without the control Of the Party
masses from below.
The Party has laid down the rule
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-05

that the responsible functionaries of
the various groups Of work, whether
Party workers, economists, trade
unionists, military, are despite all
specialization arising from their
inseparable components of a whole,
for they are one and all working for
the cause Of the proletariat, and this
cause is an inseparable whole.
The actual practice of the Party
has been such that where there has
been a specialization in work, divi-
sion of work into that of the actual
party workers, economists, military,
ETC., then the Party workers are not
responsible for--the economists nor
