and conventions. If the proposition
could be submitted to the voters OF
the state a primary election law
would win out by ten to one. The
fact that it has not long since become
the law is evidence of the difficulty o.
overcoming the machine which has
control of the state and its politici-
ans under the present caucus system,
and the pertinacity with which it
hangs to power 1t will be difficult
to explain in two years from now
why the pledges of the party have
not been complied with, and in vot-
ing on the measures intended to carry
the platform into effect, ambitious
legislators should keep in mind that
there is a hereafter.

How trusts reduce prices is exemp-
lifted by the type trust of America.
Thursday of last week all printers
were served with notice that the
discounts on brass rules and brass
goods had been reduced from 40 and
5 off to 33A and off. This is an
increase in prices on this line of goods
of 61per cent and nearly every line
of printers supplies as it has been
but short time since the price of all
kinds of type was similarly raised
The type combine is one of the most
perfectly operated trusts in America
as we'll as one of the most
arbitrary and grasping.

eve favor such legislation as will
secure to every citizen the freest
expression of his choice in the selec-
ton Of candidates" was the pledge
given to the people of Wisconsin by
the Republicans when bidding to the
people for votes last summer. 1t was
one OF the promises that contributed
to the Republican victory OF the last
election. Will the legislature give to
the people laws which will in the
future reflect the direct choice OF the
citizen in the selection of candidates?
It is the opinion of everyone that the
present caucus system, instead OF
promoting free expression OF the
citizens choice, hinders and con-
POUNDS it. Nothing in the way OF
amending the present system will
meet the pledge of the platforms OF
last fall, for the system proceeds
along wrong lines. A primary election
law is the only remedy. and IS the
only method proposed which will give
to every citizen any choice IN the
selection Of candidates, and do away
with the manipulations OF caucuses

win Pass Law to Tax Corporations

Madison, Wis. Feb. 21.-This
afternoon the much-discussed
question as to how to provide for
the adequate assessment and col
lection of taxes from the various
express, sleeping car, freight line
and similar corporations was set
for consideration by the senate
committee on judiciary.
The four bills prepared by the
committee on assessment and
collection of taxes are before the
Judiciary committee and it is ex-
pected that the hardest fights of
the session will be made In con-
nection with these measures. 1t
seems inevitable that laws for the
taxation Of these corporations will
be passed at this session, and the
contest upon the part of the
corporations will be over the
phraseology and forms of the
bills, and of course, the rate of
taxes to be imposed.
Even the most radical Of the
supporters of the corporations are
convinced that some laws to I'M
pose taxes on this class of cor
porations will be passed. But it is
not expected that u very large
amount will be realized as a result
Of the passage Of these laws. 1t
seems to be the plan of the present
Republican majority to apparent
ly carry out the platform pledges
to reform in this direction, with
out making the corporations pay
more than is absolutely necessary
to sustain the claim that they
have not violated their pledges
made previous to the last election.
In addition to the four bills pre-
scented by the committee on as
sessment and collection of taxes
Senator Mills of West Superior
has bill which applies to the
railroad companies proper. The
bill provides for an increase from
4 per cent to Is per cent on the
gross receipts of the roads as re-
turned.
"This is good BILL" said Mr..
Mills to Journal representative,
"and ought to be passed. 1t
would not be an injustice to the
roads to pass the bill, for under
the present tax Of 4 per cent on
the gross receipts only about 10
100 of 1 per cent tax on the valu
alton of the railroad property is
paid. The increase to Is per cent
on the gross receipts would made
a tax based on the valuation of
the road property of about 2 per
cent. As the tax imposed on the
property of the farmer, the mer-
chant and the taxpayer generally
is about 3 per cent, the railroads
cannot complain that this bill
proposes unreasonable burdens. >
Senator Withee, chairman of
the railroad committee, says that
he is IN favor of the proposed laws
to tax express and similar corpor-
atoms.
"With me, said Senator Withee
to Journal representative, lit is
simply question of how to get
at it. [ am in favor of taxing
Interpretations just as the prop
erty of individuals is taxed. 1t
appears to me, though, that the
railroads will be in position to
retallate by placing their addition
al taxes on the shippers of freight.
What we ought to have is a state
commission empowered to look
after the matter of rates and taxes
so that there could be no evasion.
The commission ought to be elect
ed by the people and not appointed
by the governor. In fact, do
not believe in appointed boards.

The Power of Electricity.

An intertaining experiment in
burning steel with electricity is to
be tried in Cincinnati in an effort
to remove a safety vault that was
built forty years ago. The vault
has long been in disuse and the
room occupied by it is now wanted
for other purposes. The walls are
constructed of layers of hard
spring steel 1t inches in thickness.
Two operators will be placed in the
vault, each with a carbon attached
to feed wire. The men will wear
heavy rubber gloves and specially
constructed goggles to protect
their eyes from the intense light
They will pass the carbon over the
walls of the vault, burning them in
intersecting lines. A somewhat
sinilar test of electricity was made
in Washington about two years
ago, when hole large enough to
allow the passage of man was
burned through the walls of one of
the largest government vaults in
twelve minutes.-Buffalo Express.
