. viii Keep wiscon ia Legislators Awake
ut Nights.

Madison, Wis. Dec 4.-The Pere
Marquette statue ard church taxation
Will keep legislators awake nights dur
Ing the coming session OF the legislature
and promises to make several lively
sessions. Rumors of legislation or at
tempts at legislation 10 abolish the i'm
munity which charitable institutions
and churches now enjoy are already
getting i'm circulation and are creating
considerable curiosity as To what are
the plans of the American Protective
association. The old trouble over the
Father Marquette statue in the Capitol
at Washington threatens TO break loose
and will entail hot fight For sew
eral years the agitation for the taxa
ton of all church property and the
property OF charitable institutions has
been vexing the minds OF Wisconsin
legislators. Many have said that the
agitation is ended. but its ghost like
that OF Banquo, will arise again.
AT the session two years ago a meas
ure OF this nature was before the leg
islature and attracted at that time
widespread attention. Rev. ID. u. Chez
ney, at that time state president OF the
American Protective association. adj
dressed the Legislators at a special open
session held for that purpose. together
with other prominent politicians and
members of religious and charitable
bodies. Members of the American Pro-
tective association claim to have sixty
members of the lower house pledged To
the support OF this measure. If this
is true, the prospects of the passage of
this bill through the assembly are good,
but all indications point TO haru strug-
gle in the senate, where il stands less
chance Of passing. Those who favor
church taxation and desire the remov
al of the Marquette statue Will, II is
said. be satisfied If they can secure the
passage of one of these measures.

ter how anxious or honest the Repub-
leans may be in their efforts TO frame
a moderate bill. they will yield first
here and then there to the demand for
higher schedules, and once having yield
ed, they will no more be able to stem
the tide than they would to stop the
onrush of the Niagara. l predict that
the bill which energies from the ways
and means committee will be in many
respects more extreme than the act Of
