WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

It seems cruel and almost unfair
to appraise William Jennings Bryan
by the standards of the age in which
by chance, he lived.
There was that about him which
would have made him truly great in
an age of faith-in the medieval
times to which this amazing product
of our own border days SO eminent
ly belonged
Had he lived in the age of Peter
the Hermit he would have won I'M
dying glory by preaching the first
crusade as no other man could have
preached it.
Had he lived in the times of Abe
lard he would have won high praise
as a scholar among schoolmen who SO
respected authority that they refused
to believe the evidence of their own
eyes and affirmed that flies have five
legs because Aristotle, miscopied, SO
affirmed
Had he lived in the days of Hide
brand he would have been remem-
bered as a reformer, as the leader of
a moral revival enforced by authori-
ty with the most far-reaching conse-
quences.
Il + u
Like Don Quixote, Bryan was born
too late. He rode forth to battle
with giants, but the changed world
saw with other eyes and Knocked him
for fitting with wind mills.
Like SO many leaders who swept
triumphant through the age of faith
we call the dark ages, Bryan thought
with his heart rather than with his
mind. He was the born champion of
lost causes and half-forgotten preju-
dices. In our times he was an almost
tragic anarchronism, saved only by a
touch of horse-trading Yankee
shrewdness and an almost infallible
Instinct for publicity from life of
total failure in the skeptical world
into which he was cast.

PIowed Their Highways.

Right after the snowstorm Sun
day, highway patrolmen in Forest
and Oneida counties were on the
job and cleared the roads of the
mass of snow, making travel easy
for the motorist. All along the
highways coming up travellers
claim all kinds of cars were seen in
the bitches where they had skidded
during the storm. On all the high
ways leading out of Eagle River,
in any direction the same condi-
tions existed. H. L. Hoard of Fl.
Atkinson is right that the deep
stitches which the state highway
commission is causing to be placed
along the side of the roads are the
cause of many an accident and
death when a car slumps off the
soft crown made by the bitches.
Hoard through his newspaper is
certainly handing it to the Madi-
son bunch for their deep meats and
culvert posts.

VERY SHORT ON POTATO
Crop Estimation Shows Over
100000 Bushels Be-
low Last Year.

The earlier estimate of a short
U. 5. potato crop was again
affirmed Wednesday by the Crop
Reporting Service Of the Wiscon-
SIN and u. S. Department of Agri-
culture at Madison. The October
estimate is slightly less than the
September forecast, but both esti-
mates are 344 million bushels in
round numbers. This estimate is
III million bushels or "a per cent
below last year.
Fields in Wisconsin are proving
slightly better than indications of
month ago, the report states.
The Wisconsin estimate is 25 mil
hon bushels. During September
the yield prospect likewise inn
proved in Pennsylvania, Colorado,
Idaho and Maine, but the gains in
these states were more than offset
by a loss of 3 million bushels in
New York and minor reductions in
Minnesota and Michigan.
Yields are very uneven this year
as explained by Paul Nyhus of the
Crop Reporting Service. The
drouth in August had various
effects on fields planted at differ
ent times and on fields holding
moisture better than others. Good
and poor yields, accordingly, are
being realized in every locality. In
general, however, the best region
In the state is a group of nine
counties around Milwaukee. The
crop there has had no setbacks and
yields are excellent. The opposite
conditions are found on the lighter
sands of central Wisconsin where
yields are poor. Yields in north
eastern Wisconsin are reasonably
good, in the Waupaca-Portage dis
trict fair, and in the Barron county
district poor to fair. The yield
prospect is 112 bushels for the state
as a whole compared to 1870 bushels
last year and 5 year average of
los bushels.
With the market strong and
prices maintained at about 90c
bushel, the sentiment in the po-
tato districts is distinctly optimis-
tic. 1t has been some years since
Wisconsin growers generally have
had the present combination of
good prices and sufficient yields to
realize good returns from their po-
tato crop.

A STATE TAX
First Time in II Years Coun-
ty Taxpayers Will Have a
Reduction.


With the announcement by Gov
ernor John j. Blaine that state
property taxes to have been levied
IN 1926 have been wiped out, comes
the announcement that the county
property tax may be reduced
slightly as compared with that of
last year. Adjustment of the state
property tax levy and any slight
reduction in county taxes will
mean saving to county taxpayers
next year in property taxes.
The announcement of Governor
Blaine that there will be no state
property tax levied in 1926 is his
tory making because for the first
time since the state was organized
in 1913, II years ago, there will be
no state property tax.
The state property tax last year
was about $1.25 on each $1,000 of
assessed valuation. Thus by the
abolition Of the state property tax
a property owner with a home or a
farm valued at $4,000 will save
$3.50.
This action by the state emer-
gency board which is composed of
Governor Blaine, State Treasurer
Levitan and Secretary Of State
Zimmerman means that the state
will receive nothing from property
taxes for the support of the uni
versity, normal schools and COM
mon and graded schools. The en-
tire property tax revenue instead
will go to counties and municipal
tiles.
The emergency board accom-
plished the act Of abolishing this
tax for the coming year when it
was estimated that the state tax
levy for state purposes for 1925 IN
Guiding the seven tenths mill tax
for common schools is S6,922, I53.O5
and the state, it was estimated, will
realize from the new income tax
law which gives the state an addl-
tional 10 per cent of the income
tax. a sum of $4,414,673.20. De-
Quoting the proceeds of the income
tax, a balance of $2,507 ,479.S5 IS
left. The emergency board how
ever as announced Wednesday, Sc
cured that sum from the surplus IN
the general fund and thus wiped
out the entire state tax levy on
property.
In addition to the wiping out OF
all state property taxes, 1t IS point
cd out. thousands will further ben
eft from tax reductions, because
Of the provision in the new income
tax law which increases the exemp-
t;on for each head of family from
81 200 to $1,000 with exemptions
for dependents changed from $500
to $500
This means that the head OF
family with three DEFENDANTS, II
his income is less than $500, VIII
nov no state income tax and will
n addition pay no property tax TO
The state; about the only taxes lett
for him to pay being national city
and county taxes and state gas tax
# he has an automobile.
