The State Tax Question

Referring to the article in the Ga
zette of the Sth inst, regarding the state
tax and the economic outlook of the
national finances, the Madison Journal
says:
1t is seldom that SO many glaring per-
versions of truth are contained in one
brief paragraph. To allow them to go
undisputed, might argue to many an ac
acknowledgement of their correctness. The
legislature OF 1883 authorized the levy of
a state tax of $240,0O0 for general pur-
poses in 1884 ana 1885 But on account
of the large balance in the treasury,
Secretary Timme deemed it unnecessary
as we'll as upwise to levy the same
Consequently, the taxpayers were not
called upon to pay this general tax in
1915, and such is still the excellent
condition OF our state finances that no
such tax will be levied in 1867 Dur
ing the campaign of 1884 nothing but
absolute facts concerning the finances OF
the commonwealth were stated by the
Republicans. 1t was shown that this very
favorable status was brought about by
the increase of revenues from corporations
and TIE wise economy practiced by the
Republican state administration.
y X X Il
Willie the legislature of 1885, acting
in accordance with the suggestions of
Governor Rusk in bis message to the
legislature, and OF Secretary Timme in
his report of few weeks previous, did
not levy any 'tax for general PURPOSES"
for that wear. it did very materially aid
to the common school fund, make pro-
visions for increasing the support ten
dered to high schools, and vote So 900
for the erection of normal school in
Milwaukee, while the legislature OF 1883
added to the state university income.
Chapter 288, laws of 1885, provided TOR
al annual levy OF one mill on each dollar
OF assessed valuation in the state, to he
appropriated to the regular common
school fund income; the first levy under
this law will he collected this year, and
calls for $4S8, l39 81.
The state tax, it will he seer. is wholly
made up of items for educational purposes,
each levied according to special statutory
demand. The conmon school, the one
mill, the interest on certificates Of in
debtedness aud the school fund income
taxes, aggregating 1852, 1927 81, will be
apoortioned back 20 the several counties

the basis of the school census Therefore

poses collected in behalf of the counties

The Gazette makes a very unfortunate
allusion to the condition of the state
school fund. Barstow and the Forty
Thieves squeezed the school fund sponge

has never yet recovered from the shock.

So SOdD Bubbie.o

The "Soap Bubble" is capital exam
pie of plays of the farce comedy type
which have 50 captured the popular fancy
plays with just enough plot to furnish
the necessary continuity for series Of
extremely situations, melodious songs and
the taking speciat!es for which Baker
and Farron nave won so wide repuia a
ton. Mr.. Bakers wooden shoe dance
his barber shop episodes were received by
the audience with enthusiasm, and Mr..
Farron was rapturously apFlauded from
first TO last. His swell song, with his
accompaniment of pretty duies. was a
pronounced hit, and won triple recall.

Death by Drowning.

Last Sunday afternoon Henry Mar
quart, son of Carl Marquart, of the Sixth
ward, while skating on the river near
Eaton's ice house, broke through the ice
and was drowned. A number of persons
witnessed the accident but were unable
to rescue him notwithstanding efforts were
made in that direction He ventured
where the ice had been cut eff for the ice
house only the day previous, and was
warned of the danger of doing so. One
of his comrades, Fred Tanck, broke in at
the same time but was rescued with
difficulty. Young Marquart was
bright, intelligent lad, and has been in
the employ OF J, B. May for some time
past attending to the lines of the tele-
phone company. He was in his 18th
year and his sudden and untimely death
is a sad blow to his parents who have the
sympathy of all in their bereavement
The funeral of the deceased will be held
from the Lutheran church this afternoon,
the anniversary of his 18th birthday.

THE Battle of Gettysburg in Congress
hall. tor the benefit of the Grand Army
post.
The Freeborn case, which has caused
so much excitement in Beaver Dam and
Fox lake for the past four or six weeks,
collapsed somewhat suddenly, when, after
two inquests and verdict of the coroner's
jury that she came to her death from
pcis II administered by some unknown
person, the undertaken came forward and
declared that the poison found at the
chemists examination came from an
embalming fluid used bv him. Still, 1t
appears that the undertaken himself does
not know of the materials composing this
fluid, and there are other circumstances
in the case that point strongly to the
improbability of this explanation.
