HARVEST OF ice
OVER WITH 28OO
TONS IN STORAGE
Marshall, North Redwood Get
Ice From Lake Red
wood

Leaning on a pitchfork, ankle
deep in straw atop $500 tons of
ice cakes Wednesday, j. A. Storts,
Redwood Falls ice dealer, survey
ed his frigid domain and with a
smile declared that another ice
harvest is over.
Working steadily since January
Is, Mr.. Storts and q crew of 18
assistants have been cutting cakes
of ice on Lake Redwood at the
rate of four q minute and piling
them to the rafters of the storage
house, which holds 1000 tons and
80 feet high in a wooden walled
addition constructed to accommo-
date 800 tons. The additional
800 tons, the harvester explained,
are to take care Of any possible
shortage during the warm months.
Mr.. Storts asserted that the
harvest is the best that he has had
in years, with the ice clearer and
cleaner than any he has previous
ly cut during his many years in
the business. To corroborate his
statement, he placed a hand
against a cake and the hand could
be seen as clearly as through a
window glass, through the % inch
thickness.
Because of the low and stagnant
condition of the Redwood river at
Marshall and North Redwood, ice
dealers at those two communities
were compelled to resort to Lake
Redwood for their supplies last
week. The Marshall firm remov-
ed 100 tons from the lake and
Becker brothers of North Red
wood 300 tons

LICENSE TAXES

Car owners who planned on
paying their license fees before
February Is may delay payment
until March 15 if a bill passed by
the state senate Tuesday is also
approved in the house and signed
by the governor. The delay is to
allow further consideration of
the fees to be charged, some

while others want to maintain the
lower fees charged in 1888 and
1884.

EMPLOYEES
RETIREMENT BILL

Columbus (Special l-The rules COM
mittee of the house of representatives
is the stopping point of the Ohio
state employees retirement bill, and as
congestion is relieved during the COM
ing week it is expected that this bill,
which has moved so swiftly and sue
cessfully through senate and house
50 far, will get its chance to be voted
upon. Close observers believe it will
pass.
They predicate this belief on the
fact that Governor Davey placed the
passage of the bill in the state plat
form and has, at various times, de
clared himself in favor Of it. Mem
bers of the rules committee who must
lift it out where it can be voted upon
are: J.Freer Bittinger, Ashland; John
@. Carey Toledo; Jesse j Gilbert,
Dayton; Frank R. Uible, 639 Guardian
building, Cleveland; Edmund H. Bel
bel, Medina; Myron B. Gossaman, Co
lumbus, and Arthur Hamilton, Leba-
non. On them, at the moment, rests
the question of whether Ohio shall
pension its aged and faithful en-
ployes.

compromise.
Unprincipled and unscrupulous agi-

not borne out BY the provisions of the

To bring about proper distribu-
ton of wealth the income tax must
be revised upward, particularly in the
higher brackets. This is a just tax.
Taxes should be levied according to
the ability to pay. The income tax
does thisa sales tax does not do this.
Salaried men and women who are un-
married and earning in excess Of $1,000
per annum should pay a small tax
possibly $40 or $12. Then the in
come tax in the higher brackets should
be drastieally increased Not taxable
incomes in excess of one million dol
lars per annum should be assessed 9
95 per cent tax. Huge expenditures
will be in order to relieve distress, to
provide employment and distribute
purchasing power. At present people
in moderate circumstances and the
poor bear far too heavy tax burdens.
Wealth escapes bearing its just share.
