Telephone No. 3. EDITORIAL The Turnpike Issue Wisconsin's turnpike commission law is headed for a showdown test in the Supreme proper and desirable step to clarify the future of the project. In a brief filed this week with the court, the turnpike authority is challenged on the basis of constitutional provisions against the state "internal improvements." The briel recites The section which prohibits the state from contracting any debt to carry on work of a purely local nature, rather for the state as a whole. The Supreme Court, of course, is thoroughly capable of deciding on that point.

Those who favor the turnpike setup, however, are ready to question designation of such a highway as a purely local improvement of no benefit to the state as a whole. Every road improvement in Wisconsin defenitely benefits the entire state in these days of heavy tourist and transportation traffic. The entire web of economy of Wisconsin is dependent to a certain degree on the development of an adequate highway system.

Our hardships are heartbreaking; such as having to defrost the refrigerator or wind the thermostat clock. Life is just one dreary drill of dull drudgery.

Our plight suggests the relativity We stay satisfied with the users paying the bill. If there is any quarrel with Wisconsin's turnpike authority, it probably rests solely in the broad powers given the commission to carry es get one; some new gadget that saves a little more work. The refrigerator is a good example. Remember the old ice box? The first one I saw was just an oblong out the project. There is some wooden chest, stuffed with sawdust doubt whether any turnpike com-1 between a lumber jacket and a zinc mission could accomplish such a project without such broad authority.

However, if it is found the powers granted the commission represent too great a departure from the constitutional authority, the Legislature certainly can remedy that situation when it resumes sessions. But, let's not give up the turnpike plan merely on a technical point. Let's build a self-financing super-highway as planned. And, let's push as fast as possible with improving all the other highways to give Wisconsin a truly modern system. Stocks Climb On Dull Market federal Tax Plans President Eisenhower's brief comments on the matter of new tax methods to raise additional funds have stirred considerable controversy.

The President ruled out the possibility of a retail sales tax. He declared the Treasury had recommended against such a levy after making a study. However, Mr. Eisenhower hinted, there might be some action taken toward levying a manufac- By RADER WINGET NEW YORK stock mar-1 ural. ket this week continued its slow!

levy Passed-on taxes are traditional. They represent what most people consider to be "hidden" taxes but actually there never is any escape from the necessity of making the actual payment of such levies fall on the ultimate purchaser or consumer. The administration, confronted a complexity of problems, all requiring heavy outlays of funds, feels that some type of levy must be made to replace the revenues lost by the automatic 10 per cent cut in individual income taxes and the end of the excess profits levy Jan. 1. Many of these spending problems involve our defense program, of which foreign aid and assistance is an integral part.

The President and the Defense Department have indicated these outlays tor our own security are not likely to be reduced appreciably. They point, in particular, to the fact that Russia now has advanced to the hydrogen bomb stage of atomic development. There are few citizens, indeed, who would discount completely these fears as to what lies ahead. After administration and the military should have the facts to back up their warnings. Still, a vast majority of the citizens will not give up hope that somehow the tremendous costs of federal government some day may yield to actual and incisive economies.

A federal budget which continues in the high multiple billions is the target on which the'se hopeful citizens set their sights.

The market has been in a general decline since the first of the year 1 when prices topped out after the Eisenhower election boom. So far this year there have been at least four major recovery movements started. Each, however, has failed to reverse the bear market trend.

Some of hia habits were rather strange, such as washing his hands and feet before he left rather than before he came. And he did get impatient for breakfast a few times and showed it by scratching on the window above our bed.

We sat very and watched his cheeks get bigger and bigger until he finally tore down the steps in several magnificent leaps and away to his-winter storeroom.

The expression on his face made us decide to name him Elmer. It just seemed to fit, somehow. And then, one day I heard tiny Linda B. Abegglen, 1903 8th ave-. footsteps under the bed.

of frightening our was afraid guest. There was Elmer, looking like a fat old Chinaman. His beady little eyes blinked and his long beard of dust wriggled up'and down. I went on about my work, keeping one eye toward the bed. After a few mighty sneezes for a chipmunk he came out.

From that time on I never knew where I'd find El- mer whenever the door wax left open. In a wanner, not becoming to a guest, he, soon let us IDMW that crackers and bread were not for him, after tasting candy and nuts. We laughed the loudest and longest the day I set out a box of hard candy. Elmer almost danced with glee. He began cramming goodies into his pouch square pieces, round pieces, long -ones, short ones.

Pretty soon his face skin was so stretched it actually made his eyes slant! Being somewhat of a glutton, he had to get that last piece, room or no room. Pushing and pulling with his tiny paws he finally ceeded. The result made us lauglr until the tears began to flow. His face was fixed in a long orange grin, riot by choke; but because the candy was that shape. Poor Elmer was quite perplexed, but we knew the candy would soon melt and his beauty be restored.

Early in. the summer, Elmer made'it plainly understood to all the other chipmunks that the lookout was his domain. They obediently stayed below. It wasn't until the next summer that we discovered that Elmer should have been called She had a family now of five tiny busy babies.
