from old colored prints and pasted

Bolero. Source of New Silhouette

The bolero. which has been revived

enumerated among the styles that
lead away from the perfectly straight,
up-and-down silhouette, And it was
doubtless as a means of suggesting
waist line in a subtle manner that
the French dressmakers turned to the

A Homemade Movie.

light. To make it, paste pictures
from newspapers and magazines with
very thin -four paste on cheesecloth
strips. When dry, each end is fast
ened to a six-inch spool. These are
set on spindles made by two nails
driven through from the bottom side
Of board heavy enough to set firmly.
Shingle nails put in the tops OF the
spools and bent over make handles
by which the spools are turned 50

Property Taxes
Should Be Reduced
Gov. Blaine Explains His Views in
Communication to Committee
Chairman

Madison-Property taxes instead
of income taxes should be reduced
to tighten the burdens on those least
able to pay, Governor Blaine stated
in letter to Chairman O. II. John
son of the state senate committee on
corporations and taxations, made
public by the executive today.
The letter, after referring to the
Morris bin reducing state income
taxes during the years 1917 to 1921,
was less than 100000 as compar-
'ed with an increase of more than
SAG, 100000 on real and personal
property. From 1920 to 1925, the
letter states, real and personal prop
erty taxes payable into the state
treasury have been reduced almost
100000.
''The income taxes were paid out
of actual cash income received"
the governor said, 1.-The real and
personal property taxes were paid
whether there was any earning or
not.
Therefore, why reduce income
taxes? Why not reduce real and
personal property taxes rs per cent
and increase income taxes such an
amount as may be necessary TO take
care of the needs of the towns, cit
les, villages and counties?
$50 far as the state is concerned,
these reductions may be made with
out any necessity for increasing
state revenues. The only necessary
thing then for the legislature to do
with respect to the state is to elimi-
nae that service which it deems
least desirable, in order TO have the
Expenditures come within the receipts,
IF these suggestions were carried
out by legislation there would be a
tax reduction on real and personal
property of over $46,000,000 per
annum.
''The way to reduce the burdens
of taxation on the hOme-owner, the
farmer and business property, real
and personal, bringing substantial
relief, is to reduce the burdens on
those least able to pay.
"Why not put the gentlemen to
the test on this propositions"

Two Candidates
in the Field
Contests for County Superintendent
of Schools and County Judge
at Spring Election.

Although the spring election is
more than six weeks away, the pro-
verbal political pot was started
boiling" in Iron county this week
with the announcements of two can
didacies.
A county superintendent of
schools will be chosen at the April z
election and two aspirants for the
Office entered the arena this week
Miss Ida Bradley, who has held the
Office two complete terms and part
of another, having been appointed
to fill out an unexpired term, has an
nounced that she will seek re-elec-
ton. Miss Margaret Hardie is hav-
ing nomination papers circulated
and will also run for county superin-
tendent of schools. For the last
five years Miss Hardie has held the
Office of supervising teacher. While
it has been rumored that there will
be other candidates for this office
they have not yet come out.
In addition to the contest for SUI
perintendent of schools, interest in
the spring election in Iron county
will be centered in the contest for
Judge of the county court, it being
taken for granted that the bill now
before the state legislature provid-
ing for the combining of the county
court and the municipal court will
go through. The bill passed the
assembly last week and sponsors of
the act declare that it will probably
meet with but little opposition in
the senate. 1t is expected that the
governor will sign it in time SO that
it will become a law before the
spring election.
Since attorneys-at-law only would
be eligible to hold the office of Iron
county Judge if the bill goes
through in its original form, the
number of possible candidates is
limited to five, there being that num-
Der of attorneys in the county.
James Flandrena, who was APP
pointed by Gov Blaine to the posi-
ton of municipal judge upon the
death of Griff Thomas, will probably
be a candidate for county judge, al
though he has not yet announced
himself. Just how many of the 9TH
er attorneys in the county will OPP
pose him is not known yet.

Changes in
Express Rates
New Express Rates and Charges
Ordered by Commerce Commits
sion Effective March 1.

Changes in express rates and
charges ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. effective
March l, will result in many economic
es for shippers, according to J. F.
Sybeldon, agent of the American
Railway Express company in this
city.
New express rates go into effect
throughout the United States. Prac-
tically every basic rate per 100
pounds has been changed Applica-
tons have been made to apply new
rates on interstate business and the
state commission is expected to take
action on the matter.
While there are some increases in
rates, applying particularly in the
eastern territory, generally speaking
the changes are downward and lower
rates will prevail in the greater part
of the country. The most marked
reductions are in the West and in
the South.
Mr.. Sybeldon has prepared the
following rate comparison, showing
the new rates compared with the old

points throughout the country, the
rates being first-class per 100 pounds

Announces Candidacy for County
Superintendent of Schools.

Miss Margaret J. Hardie, super
vising teacher, this week announced
that she is a candidate for the office
of county superintendent of schools,
which Office will be voted for at the
coming election on April Z.
Miss Hardie was born and reared
in Iron county. After receiving her
early education in the rural schools
and graduating from high school, she
entered the County Rural Normal
school at Eau Claire, taking the
course for teachers of rural schools.
After teaching for some time in the
Iron county rural schools she entered
the State Normal school at Superior
and graduated from the course for
principals and supervisors. She then
served two years as principal of the
Quincy State Graded school and
five years ago was appointed by the
late Miss Della Emunson to the po-
sltion of county supervisor of schools
for Iron county, a position which
she has since continuously filled.
During this time she has made many
friends throughout the county who
are looking with confidence towards
the election on April Z.

Highway Bill
Passes Senate
Measure Which Includes Gasoline
Tax Rushed Through; But One
Dissenting Vote Cast.

Madison The administration
highway bill carrying distribution
program of approximately SI5,000,-
coo raised from automobile weight,
gasoline tax and federal aid, passed
the state senate today with but one
dissenting vote, cast by Senator
Merritt f. White, Winniconne.
The bill was rushed through to
final passage on suspension of the
rules, after the vote to engross and
order to a third reading had been
taken. Before the final vote was had
four amendments were adopted and
four were voted down.
None of the amendments adopted
materially affect the bill, three give
a slight advantage to Milwaukee and
one would place cities of $4,000 in
second class in place of the original
eligible population basis of 10000
Three Of the amendments rejected
were introduced by Senators A. ].
Padway, William Quick and Walter
Polakowski, Socialist, Milwaukee,
would have benefited Milwaukee ma
teriallly in the distribution program.
The Padway amendment would have
doubled the allowances now contem-
plated for cities of the first class for
Improvements of streets connecting
state highways.
Amendment Voted Down.
Senator eastman, chairman of the
legislative joint highway committee,
made a strong plea for passage of
the bill without change, claiming
that ANY amendment would tend to
weaken the bill and might torpedo
the finest monumental work of any
legislature"
The other amendment voted down
was introduced by Senator W. A. Ii
tus, Fond du Lac, who sought to re-
duce the automobile registration fee,
contemplated under the bill TO $40.
Trucks, motorcycles and other class
es Of ears were excepted. The vote
rejecting the Titus amendment was
% to 9.
Never before in Wisconsin history
has a bill of such Importance and
with as much money involved had
such rapid progress through a leg
islative body, according to Senator
eastman.
The highway measure now goes to
the assembly, where it probably will
be considered within the next few
days.

also brought out considerable criticism

Senator Watson, Republican, Indi-

enforcement was defective in parts.

1t is being wantonly violated, he pre-
dicted that II given sufficient funds it
could be made effective.
