COUNTY TO FIGHT
UNFAIR BOOSTS
Board Adopts Resolution
To Protest Against
Discrimination.
AUTHORIZES ACTION
Resolution Not Only Provides
for Protest but Also Au.
thorizes Going to Law.

Claiming that Kenosha county has
been unjustly Disseminated against
by unfair boosts in the tax valuations
made by the state tax commission, the
county board of supervisors this
morning adopted resolution direct
ing that the county continue its pro-
test against these valuations. The res
olution was introduced by Fred B.
Surerus, supervisor from the Fifth
ward and chairman of the assessment
committee, who in presenting it re-
called that Kenosha ,county's valua-
ton had been increased during the
past two years far above that of any
other county in the state of Wiscon-
sin. He recalled also that last year
when this county protested, no action
had been secured and that the COM
mission had boldly admitted that the
values here had been set arbitrarily
because it was felt that "this county
had the money and could pay"
The resolution was adopted by q
viva voce vote with only one dissent
ing "no."
Boosted 1870 in Two Years.
Figures were presented showing
that in the past two years the assess
ment valuation for this county has
been boosted ~ per cent by the state
tax commission. In 1923 the valua-
ton was s96,726,885; in 1924 it was
advanced to $116,516,978 and in 1926
to S141,233,595. Upon these valuations
are based the apportionment of the
state taxes which this county will pay.
1t is maintained that the alleged I'M
fiar increase in valuation makes ke-
nosha counyt carry more than its
share of the state tax burden.
City Attorney Clifford E. Randall
was invited to address the board on
this question. He recalled that pro-
test had been filed last year, but had
secured no action from the commits
sion except that it had brought from
that body statement that the valua-
tions in this county had been fixed
arbitrarily. He pointed out the ap-
parent unfairness of the plan and
urged that the fight be continued.
Is O. Stronger Resolution.
The resolution adopted last year
provided only for the ming OF pro-
test and the paying of the county
share of the state taxes under pro-
test. The resolution this year author
ICES the committee to carry the fight
farther even into the counts if neces-
sary to show Kenosha's claim for a
readjustment.
One member of the board raised the
question that the general state taxes
had been RENTED this year and for
that reason the increase in valuation
was not SO important. This brought
out the fact that there are some charg-
es which cannot be RENTED and
which are assessed according to the
valuation figures.
eff we don't continue protesting,
this tax commission never will stop
loading an unfair burden on Kenosha
county" declared Supervisor Gros-
venor from the First ward as he spoke
in favor of the resolution. "Let them
know we are fighting for our rights
and intend to fight to the finish"

DAIRY FARMERS
FIGHT MILK RULE
WilmOt and Union Grove
Producers Threaten to
Build Creamery.
BATTLE IN ILLINOIS

AS an echo of the milk war that
has been raging in Kenosha and Ra-
cine county producing centers since
Illinois handler. of milk passed on
to them the ultimatum that Chicago
dairies would reject all milk not pro-
duced by tuberculin tested cows,
farmers of Wilmot in Kenosha county
and of Union Grove in Racine county
threaten, unless an amicable settlement
is reached soon to erect creamery OF
their own. They say they can not
stand the financial risk of possibly
losing their herds.
Many Of the farmers at these two
points who have been shipping their
milk to Spring Grove, Ill, where q
bitter war is now raging between two
factions of farmers, say that the dairy
company which received their product
had promised them that the new Chi
cago ruling on tuberculin tested cows
was not to take effect until Dec. !.
At Spring Grove, ILL.,, two factions
of farmers are mixed in bitter war
fare. Rival groups battled on the roads
leading to Spring Grove yesterday, one
faction trying to prevent the delivery
of milk and the other faction trying
to deliver it. The insurgents are en-
deavoring to enforce boycott on the
dairy companies because of the order.
Farmers Battle In Roads.
Farmers with clubs threw up block
AIDES and successfully held their
ground against the deliverers. Some
Of the mil, was dumped into the
road, other carriers returned home
with their loads and little if any
reached the station there.
The company's ultimatum to the
farmers came as the first step in the
Chicago health commissions attempt
to purify all Chicago milk, and officials
of the company say that milk pro-
ducers agreed to furnish only tested
milk, and the officials think it is the
Is per cent making the trouble.
Steps are being taken to insure
safe delivery of the milk.

FIND HARCQS AND
HOLT NOT GUILTY
CONTINUED from page y

Continued from page II
that Harcq, charged only with being
an accessory before the fact, had been
found not guilty early in the proceed
ings.
Applause Of spectators in the court
room, including number of relatives
of the defendants, was the only demon
stration that greeted he verdict.
The defendants themselves never
reused from the attitude they pre-
served during the entire u days of
the trial. They never smiled or wept.
Albert Harcq of the white hair and
the youthful face who was sitting be-
side his wife, leaned over without q
word and kissed her.
Mrs. Harcq Smiles.
The languid woman in the becom-
ing mink coat, the snug little brown
hat and the modish brown crepe dress,
from whose life great load had just
been lifted, smiled little.
"Of course, I'm glad, but / won't
really be able to think straight about
it until Pve got some fresh air, and
rested up after this awful strain. It's
been terrible, terrible"
"The jury couldn't have done any
thing else," was Hollis comment.
"We have received absolutely fair
treatment ever since we were brought
into this courtroom and I had faith
in that jury, Holt continued. 81
bear not the slightest malice. Right
now I'd be glad to shake the hand of
Col. Smith, although he made out a
terrific case against US for the prose-
cution."
Attorney James G. Welch, who put
intensive work into defense, was
much more palpably affected than any
of them. For several moments after
the verdict had been read, he wept.
Mr.. Welch's in1passioned closing ar
gument, in which he begged the jury
not to compromise on maaslaughter
verdict, but to return a. vote either
of guilty or not guilty of murder,
probably carried considerable weight
in the deliberations Of the jury.
The arguments in the case centered
mainly around the question as to
whether, in the event of suicide, which
the defense offered in explanation, the
abdominal wounds would have prevent
ed her from firing the last and fatal
shot.
Several years ago, Harcq, before his
marriage to the present Mrs. Harcq,
was resident of Kenosha, being en-
Eloyed in the accounting department
Of the Simmons Manufacturing COM
pany.
