TWENTY INCHES OF ICE
Sub-zero Weather of the Past
Week has Grown Perfect
Ice for the Local Dealers.

Local ice dealers report ice on
the ponds is now twenty-one inches
thick without a particle of slush
ice attached-just the per e c
formed cake that gladdens the
heart of the ice man and which
means saving to the consumer
during the summer months when
every ounce of frozen water
counts.
On Thanksgiving day ice barely
covered many of the lakes used
for cutting; but the fourteen days
of sub-zero weather has builded it
rapidly, and had it kept up for a
week longer there is no telling
how thick it would nave formed.
The amount Of ice put up each
winter in this lake region by re-
sorts and private homes, together
with the amount by dealers in ice,
runs up into thousands of tons.
Possibly some over-anxious legis-
lator will see where few more
cents in taxes may be collected for
state operations and enact a spec
ial ice bill in order to increase the
revenue for a few more commits
slons at the state capitol.
Wouldn't it be surprising if your
ice would be taxed and a commits
sion formed to visit you annually
and make you come across" with
the frozen water you had stored
up?

WOODSHED is BARRED
Cannot Store Moonshine in
Favored Spot Any More,
According to the Attorney
General.

Madison-A woodshed attached
to house is part of the dwelling
and is not a place other than a
private dwelling" the attorney
generals department held IN an
opinion Friday, but a person who
has been charged with possessing
liquor in a place other than a pri-
vate dwelling, when such place is
the woodshed in question, can be
tried on the same evidence of hav-
ing in his possession privately
manufactured distilled liquor"
In the town of Waupaca Sept.
II, 1924, said the statement of
facts in the opinion given by j. f.
Messerschmidt, assistant attorney
general, to Otto L. Olson, district
attorney of Waupaca county, a de-
PENDANT was charged with having
unlawfully in his possession intox-
icating liquor in a place other
than a private dwelling. The evil
dence showed the defendant had
two 10-gallon kegs of moonshine
in a woodshed, built against his
house.
Evidence of moonshine found in
the woodshed does not sustain the
complaint that alleges possession
of intoxicating liquors in a place
other than a private dwelling, the
opinion held. In elaboration of
the ruling, the opinion stated that
If the action was dismissed on
account of a variance, then could
the defendant, on the same state
ment of facts. same search war
rant and same liquor, be rear
rested"

THIS LAW PROTECTS
Drunken Auto Driver Men
ace to Receive Attention
When Legislature Meets.

Observation-Disclosures safeguard
ing the people against automobile
accidents and strengthening the
traffic laws should be enacted by
the next session of the legislature,
according to Nels Larson, assem-
blyman.
There should be appropriate leg
islation to curb the menace of the
drunken automobile driver, Mr..
Larson stated. He suggests that
in addition to fine or imprison-
ment, the penalty for operation of
a motor vehicle on the public
highways by an intoxicated per-
son shall include revocation of the
automobile license or that the per-
son be forbidden to drive any
automobile in the state of Wiscon-
sin for given period Of time
not less than one year, nor more
than five years" This, he said,
would have a tendency to prevent
recurrence of the offense
There is also a well defined de-
mand for legislation compelling
the owner or driver of every car
to carry insurance in favor of the
owner of any car which the for
mer may negligently or unlawfully
damage. This would release many
from carrying a double in
surance, in favor of himself and
in favor of other persons, and
make every motorist bear his share
of the responsibility for reckless
or negligent driving" he asserted.
In this connection, Mr.. Larson
said he had been informed that
Senator William A. Titus of Fond
du Lac contemplates introducing
a bill requiring all motor car
owners to carry liability insurance.
The motor bus business also is a
problem according to Mr.. Larson,
who said he "felt that some meas
ure must be passed to regulate
them"
Il believe the better way is to
have them controlled by the states
as other public carriers are, than
to leave it to the different NUM-
cipalities' he added.

WILL USE NEW SCHOOL
Pennington People Furnish
Their Own Entertainment
at the Bear School.

The new Bear school in the town
of Pennington promises to be an
asset to the taxpayers in more
ways than one. Besides being a
model building with modern equip
ment, it will serve the community
as meeting place during the
winter season. The first get-to-
gether event will be held on Sat-
urday evening, Jan. 10th. Plays,
recitations, stunts, ON m un y
singing and a ladies' nail-driving
contest will be the main features
on the program; yes, and a lunch
too. The parents, as we'll as the
pupils in the school will take part
in the entertainment and every
one from far and near invited to
come and participate in these
social activities.
The school house is located at
the intersection Of State Trunk
70 and 72, and the
meetings will start at p. m.
every Saturday night all winter.
A free travelling public library is
on it's way from Madison to give
all good reading matter. Books
will be loaned from the school to
everybody. All are welcome.

Compulsory Auto Insurance.

This subject will undoubtedly
receive considerable attention at
the hands Of future lawmaking
bodies. It is a subject deserving
of serious consideration but it will
be seized up on by advocates of
state socialism as a vehicle for in
augurating their schemes of pub
lie ownership of industry.
There may be sound reasons for
the state requiring automobile
owners to carry liability insurance
to protect the public in case of
accidents but there is no sound ar
gument for demanding that the
state go into the liability insur-
ance business in order to furnish
such protection.
Compulsory automobile liability
insurance operated without state
fund interference but entirely
through the agency of recognized
insurance Companies is termed an
unqualified success in Switzerland.
The fact that in number of
states an insurance fund III main
tanned in connection with work
mems compensation insurance is
no excuse for extending the sys-
tenn which is in itself contrary to
American ideals of government.
Let the state pass it's laws pro-
tecting workmen or the public and
provide what damage they shall be
entitled to in case of injury. Then
Let the state see that these laws
are complied with through the
channels of private business.
1t has all the regulatory and po-
lice power at it's command. If it
is not capable of enforcing its
laws and regulations, it is not ca
pable of operating business or in
dustry. If'it is capable of enforc-
its laws and regulations, it is not
necessary for the state to operate
business or industry.
Let legislators and lawmakers
beware of new schemes to put the
state into business Tomahawk

iIaS County Rich in Early History
Alumni Won Game.

The high school basketball team
went up against the Alumni last
Friday night and lost by a score
of 20 to II. The Alumni comprise
all of the 1924 team who cleaned
house with most every team last
season in the three tournaments in
which they played. Their final
knockout was at the state tourna-
ment at Madison where they went
up against bigger men from much
bigger schools. This years team
played a mighty good game, and
are classed as real scrappers who
don't admit defeat until the final
count in time is made.

Backs Cigaret Tax Measure.

A state tax on cigarets to pay
for all the fire damage occasioned
by careless smokers is planned by
Assemblyman Samuel Walsh, Ocon-
to, one of the youngest members
of the legislature.
The cigaret tax would be paid
by the manufacturer before their
products can be sold in Wisconsin.
The bill would be similar to the
one passed in the state of Utah
which saves the taxpayers between
three and four million dollars a
year, Assemblyman Walsh declared.
In Wisconsin it would easily double
that amount, he said.
Statistics show an awful loss
by careless smokers throwing their
cigaret butts away still burning,
as a result the property loss runs
into millions" Assemblyman Walsh
explained. The purpose of this
bill would not be to try and pro-
hibit the use of cigarets in any
way, but to pay back to the state
part of the loss suffered by it in
property damage"
Another revenue provision to be
introduced by Walsh is a bill to
provide licensing of all anglers.
Resident fishing licenses would
cost 81 while non-residents would
pay SIS.

One Handed Drivers.

The Surfing Sun came out last
week with a communication land
ing on those drivers who try to
hug a girl and drive a car at the
same time. A person can only do
one job at time and do it good,
so for safety's sake, if you feel the
inclination to go into clinch
with your lady love, drive over to
the side of the road and stop the
car. Accidents are very easy to
happen, and after an accident does
happen it is easy to figure out
what could have been done to
avoid the accident. Why not start
figuring before the accident hap
pens.
