Higher In
Cases

Last year there was an exemp-
ton of $500 on residences when
occupied by the owner. The last
legislature removed this exemp-
ton and this year when you smile
on the treasurer you will find your
taxes higher if the valuation on
your property remained the same.
In the city Of Baraboo the rate is
three per cent and those living
in their own homes will find their
taxes this year SIS more than last
year unless the valuation was re-
duced. This means the taxes will
be higher on most houses in Bara-
boo.

Miners Reject
Markle Plan To
End Coal Strike

New York-A new peace plan to
end the anthracite strike was pre-
sented to the anthracite miners
and operators Tuesday, and like
all the others, it proved unsatisfac
tory to one side
The latest proposition came
from Alwan Markle of HazeEton,
Pa, chairman without vote of the
joint wage conference of operators
and miners. Mr.. Markle is a min
GRITTY stakeholder in the Jeddo-
Highland Coal company.
Whether his plan was acceptable
to the operators was not made
known, but the miners promptly
voiced their opposition because it
contained what they termed an ar
filtration feature.
Opposed to Arbitration
In an agreed statement issued
by both sides it was announced
that the workers were as much
opposed to arbitration today as
they were four months ago, and
will continue in their opposition"
Tonight the joint conference
was still in session, going over the
various plans that were offered by
different interests since the strike
began Sept. /.
The proposal made by Gov. Pin
chot at Harrisburg a month ago
and rejected by the operators was
urged by the miners as "a con-
structive plan for settlement p"
The operators, however, would not
listen to its adoption, arguing that
it was destructive and unwork-
able"
