VOLUME XLIV.-NO. J 4.
WILL FIGHT THE
DOUBLE TAXATION
Sentiment in This County is Very
Decided Against it.
WHAT JULIUS LINSTEDT HAS TO SAY
Mortgagee and Mortgager Both Oppose to
Proposed Law
THINK IT ABSOLUTELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL
If it Went Into Effect and Was Sustained
by the Courts Would Drive Money
From the State.
There is a very definite opposition
among property owners and mortgagees
and mortgagers against the proposed
law to tax mortgages. The assumption
is that the proposed law is unconstitu
tional inasmuch as it causes double tax
ation. The law, it is said, to be consti
tutional permits only the collection of
taxes once on each species of property,
thus if a parcel of property is assessed at
its actual value, though it may be en
cumbered by a mortgage, it would be
unconstitutional to tax the mortgage
because that would result in double
taxation.
One of the best authorities on taxation
and real estate in the county, Julius
Linstedt, avers after a thorough ex
amination into the subject that the pro
posed law will be opposed to the limit
by both mortgagee and mortgager. “I
am absolutely satisfied,” he remarks,
that neither of the parties referred to
will submit to the injustice, the mort
gagor and mortgagee are equally antag
onistic to the measure and will fight it.
“The sentiment in the county is
shared in, too, by many other counties,
and if such a law were in force, it would
simply drive money from the state into
otUer states where it could find reason
able and profitable investment.”

ELSEN ART EXHIBIT
IS NOW IN PROGRESS
AT IDLING SCHOOL
The Risen art exhibit, now in progress
at the Luling school building, is con
sidered to be very fine. Prof. Keller,
who has been instrumental in securing
the pictures here has made inquiry as
to the success of the exhibit in other
towns Prof. Hendrickson of the Green
Bay high school writes; “Your inquiry
regarding Elsen art exhibit received.
It has been exceedingly successful and
popular here. Several hundred people
visiting it each day during the week.
We have raised several hundred dollars
for art purposes by the sale of tickets.
Hoping your success in giving the ex
hibit will be as great as ours.” Prof.
Brown of Green Bay writes: “We have
in past years had two other exhibits,
but I think this superior to either of
them.”
An opportunity will be given each
day for outsiders for pictures which
range in price from |1 to #IOO. Cata
logue of exhibit can be secured for 15
cents from ticket sellers. The price of
admission is 10 cents. The programme
is altered each evening, also the stere

THE MANITOWOC PILOT.
WILL EXTEND LINE
FROM TWO RIVERS
TO DOOR COUNTY
President Henry C. H-ggins of the
Manitowoc and Northern Traction Cos.,
made the important announcement a
few days ago that his company would
at once begin operations for the exten
sion of the trolley line from its psesent
terminus to Door county, as far as
Sturgeon Day. This extension will do
much to bring trade into this county
because the proposed route is through
a populous district and it will naturally
bring people into this county and city.
The line should be in operation within
a year or two.

COUNTY IS HELD
LIABLE FOR THE
SMALLPOX PATIENTS
Manitowoc county is held liable by
the decision of the court referee for the
care and support of transient saiallpox
patients who were taken in charge by
the city of Manitowoc and provided
for. Of a total of claims of $523.30
presented against the county for the
care of Thompson Dace, a transient
taken ill here June 23 and cared for at
the isolation hospital by the city until
July 30, the decision allows, $312.00,
including rental at SO.OO per day for
the use of the isolation hospital.
Four other cates in which the City
appealed from the refusal of the Coun
ty board to allow claims are also de
cided, but in these the victory is not
so sweeping. All of the cases date pre
vious to that of the Dace case. The
total claims aggregated $415.22 and an
award of $100.78 is made to the plaiu
tiw

COUNTY COURT
HOUSE BUILDING
Committee Having Plans Proposed
for Spring Session
IT WILL BE A FINE STRUCTURE
Great County Pride is Manifest in the
Project
IT WILL COST AT LEAST SIOO,OOO
Chairman Otto Schmidt will Report the Plans
and Specifications at the Board
Meeting
□ Plans and specifications for the pro
posed new court house are being pre
pared by a number of architects here and
abroad. The committee chosen by the
County board, of which Otto Schmidt
is chairman, will be in a pjsition to
make a report to the board at its spring
meeting.
The committee has been hard at work
communicating with competing archi
tects urging them tohuve their drawings
ready not later than h pril 20tb, so that
when the new board meets it will be
prepared to make such recomendations
which will result in the board em
powering the present! committee or any
new committee which may be named,
to let contracts end arrange for the sale
of bonds up to the sum of SIOO,OOO.
The county members of the board
and their constituents are taking un
usual pride in the proposed building.
The fact is that this project gives them
the deepest interest inasmuch as it will
be a county building to be used exclu
sively for county purposes. There is
unanimity all along the line; county
memliers and farmers and storekeepers
in the outside towns are enthusiastic
whenever the subject of building the
court house is broached, Not the
slightest doubt exists but that the
court house will be ordered built at the
forthcoming spring session of the
County board.

BILL IN LEGISLATURE
WHICH PEOPLE OF
BRANCH WILL LIKE
Manitowoc county will be interested
in a bill banded into the lower house of
the legislature by David Evans, Jr., of
Waushara concerning grade crossings.
If this bill passes, the town of Branch
can remedy a very serious grievance.
The crossing measure provides that any
resident of a town, city or village, own
ing at least *l,OOO worth of real prop
erty, may go before the town clerk and
make complaint that a certain railroad
crossing is dangerous. Thereupon, the
clerk must select a jury of six men to
view the crossing and determine
whether or not it is dangerous. If the
jury decides it dangerous, the clerk
must notify the railroad company
through the nearest station agent, in
forming it of the proceedings and order
ing it to build a bridge over or under
the tracks. If the company fails to
comply within fifteen days the town
board may have the work done at its
expense.

The coming of Jaroslav Kixdan the

father of the violinist. The latter was
a poor minister of the gospel adminis

the province and is well remembered
by several Bohemian families in the

board for a term of four years and his
duties are such as to keep him pretty
much at work during the entire period.

Circuit Court was occupied for the
greater length of last week with the
broach of promise case brought by

Wednesday morning which was
found fur the plaintiff in damages to
the extent of |INOO. John Wattawa
appeared for the plaintiff and Schmitz,
Burke & Craite for the defendent. The
defendent through his attorney may ask
for anew trial or possibly may take up
to the Supreme court.
The case wai not an ordinary one and
the publication of any details is prohi
bited by the nature of the evidence.
The jury, however, after hearing both
sides of the testimony favored the plain,
tiff. The judges charge was wholly
imparial, clesr and precise and is ac
cepted as eminently fair by the attor
neys on the both sides of the case.
Frank I. Pearce of Randolph who was
before court for non payment of ali
mony of S4O a month was by order of
the judge placed under restraint but
was subsequently released by making
good the deficit.

A Scientific Discovery.
Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself, even
when but slightly disordered or over
loaded. Kodol supplies the natural
juices of digestion and does the work
of the stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension, while the iutlauied muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and heal.
Kodol divests what you eat and enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
transform all food into rich, red blood.
