The most popular marrying age
was from 20 to "a years, followed
by the age group from Is to- %.
One bridegroom was past 80 years.
Tabulations from the divorce re-
cords made for the census bureau
indicate that cruelty and it's allied
actionable causes formed the lead
ing divorce plea. These totalled
1888. Desertion and allied causes
were second, with 581; non-support
was blamed for 303; drunkenness,
66; adultery, Al; fraud in marriage,
80; Imprisonment, IL; and there
were 81 voluntary separations. De
crees were denied in seven cases.
In SCI cases the wife reported a
gainful occupation, to which she
might return. Alimony was asked
in /, 1852 cases and granted in 1913.
AS in other years, the record
shows that couples married less
than four years yielded the great
est number of divorces. In this
group there were IT'S. In Al cases
the marriage had continued less
than six months, and 81 other in
stances, marriages terminated in
less than one year. IN 554 cases,
the parties had been married from
five to nine years; go from 10 to
10 years; As from 20 to 80 years,
and 50 unions were severed after a
marriage relation of 50 or more
years.

ONE TO EVERY SEVEN
Wisconsin's Record Shows a
Divorce for Every Seventh
Wedding.

The year 1924 saw fewer mar
riages in Wisconsin than any year
in the past decade, except the war
year 1918, and also recorded the
largest number of divorces with
one exception in the history Of the
state.
The facts are revealed in compil-
ations just made by the bureau of
vital statistics which show that
marriages have declined from year
to year and that divorces have
shown a corresponding ratio up
wards.
Marriages last year totalled 49,
140 and divorces 2,378, the rate be-
ing 14.7, which is equivalent to one
divorce for every seven marriages.
In the previous year the divorce
rate was one for every eight mar
riages. For the ten-year period the
tabulations show:

URGES CIGARETTE TAX
AssembIyman Gwidt Says
This Tax Will Pay Fire
Damages.

Charging that sixty per cent of
the forest fires are set by lighted
cigarettes thrown carelessly to the
ground and that the two cent Gig
arctic tax contained in a bill re-
Gently passed by the assembly is
justified to pay for the cost Of
fighting these fires and for the
damage caused by them. Assem-
blyman S. j. Gwidt, author of the
bill, ir letter to The Madison Cap
ital Times, explains why the tax is
necessary to Wisconsin. His letter
follows:
Il propose to tax two cents a
package on cigarettes, one cent of
which / consider a painless luxury
tax, the other cent a nuisance tax.
My contention is that if it is
fair to tax two cents a gallon on
gasoline, to raise money for the
purpose of building and maintain
ing roads because the gasoline
automobile wears out the roads,
then it is likewise fair to tax two
cents a package on cigarettes to
replace the property loss caused
by cigarettes setting forest fires.
1t is estimated that about 60 per
cent of the forest fires are set by
cigarettes, which fires have already
burned over hundreds of thousands
of acres Of second growth timber
in upper Wisconsin. After these
fires sweep over these lands, most
of which are unfit for agriculture,
the owner then refuses to pay the
tax as the land is of little value,
consequently shifting the tax bur
den on the other taxpayers.
For example, Oneida county de-
linquent tax on 54,240 acres, Rusk
county delinquent tax on 100000
acres, Ashland county delinquent
tax on $4,000 acres, Clark county
delinquent tax on $4,000 acres,
Douglas county delinquent tax on
24O,OOO acres, ETC., and then consid-
ering the state owned lands in
some of these counties which are
exempt from taxation, one wonders
what is going to become of the
poor farmer and taxpayer in these
localities. Who is going to keep
the schools, etc? Therefore, all
am asking is that cigarettes be
taxed to at least partly replace the
property loss caused by them.
Our Wisconsin tobacco growers
are hit hard by cigarettes as Wis
consin tobacco is used as binder
and wrapper on the cheaper grade
of cigars, which cigars are today
crowded off of the market by Gig
arettes. Consequently there is lit
tie demand for Wisconsin tobacco
and therefore such low price is
paid.
I'VE have no cigarette manufac-
turers in our state to collect any
tax from, yet the out-of-state Gig
arctic manufacturers take millions
OF dollars out OF our state.
This tax in my opinion is a just
tax, as it is largely paid by those
who pay no other tax, but enjoy the
privileges paid for by the general
taxpayes. The cigarette tax does
not affect the dealer or wholesaler
as some would try to make us be-
lleve, for they do not pay the tax
and the cigarette smokers will not
kick on paying two cents a package
as they generally are too much of
sportsmen to kick, especially when
they know that the money raised
will be used for a good cause"

POSTAL BLUNDER

Another striking instance of ill- considered legislation is seen in the recent advance in postage rates, which was designed to increase the revenues sufficiently to meet the s6S,000,000 salary increase voted for postal employees.
 Instead of increasing revenues, recent survey by the postoffice de- partment shows that receipts have declined at the rate of more than s12,000,000 a year since the new rates have been effective.
 Thus Congress guessed wrong to the extent of approximately ESQ., O00,000 year. The result has demonstrated that even a government monopoly can not impose rates be- yond what the people are willing to pay for given service.
 The increase of third class mail, including circular letters and similar printed matter from one cent to one and a half has caused marked de- cline in that class of mailings, as might have been expected. Business houses are now inclined to limit their direct advertising of this na- ture and increase the use of news paper and periodical advertising.
 Increased postage rates on news papers and periodicals tend to en- courage consultations of publishing enterprises and in some cases may force the publishers out of business
 From the viewpoint of the home merchant, however, the increased

THE CHRONIC LIVE WIRE

Civic pride and conscientious performance of community duties characterize the best business men and citizens everywhere. But any thing, no matter how commendable on general principles, may be run into the ground.
 We have in mind what We have termed the "chronic live wire" He is always a good fellow" always a booster, always full of "pep" and enthusiasm and always with a grand scheme that won't work. He gladly plays the part of community goat, because he is willing to neglect his own business, if he has any, in order to serve on innumerable commissions, boards and committees supposed to be for the promotion of much pros perity and uplift.
 Nearly every town has such a character He means we'll and is fairly useful to everybody and every thing, excepting himself and his own family He is a living example of local patriotism run to seed. Unfortunately, he becomes so thoroughly wrapped up in optimism that he loses his sense of proportion and often ends in personal bankrupt cy, through his ambition to be pub lie benefactor.
 Many of us have passed through that stage and some have survived, but hundreds have ruined them selves through trying to carry the entire community burden.
 Boost but don't bust" yourself doing it.
