MENTION was made when the County
Board met of an error in the report OF
the town clerk of Eaton of the value OF
the real estate in the village OF st.
Nazians, as reported to the Go. clerk Mr..
Zander wrote at once to the Secretary
of State asking whether the error could
be corrected. 1t practically played no
part as the value OF the county was
fixed by the state board Of equalization,
and beside Il second error WAS discovered
in the town clerks report OF the value OF
the real estate or the town which just
balanced that made in the value OF Ea-
ton. The county clerk has only to dc
with totals and as they were correct he
did not examine the separate items 1t
not his business in any event any
more than it was for the State Secretary.
But rather singular and wholly in
defensible thing occurred in connection
with his letter to the secretary. A copy
of it was sent to local republican paper.
1t is not possible that Secretary Froeh-
Itch countenanced any such proceeding.
But he should see to it that business cor
respondence with his office is not made
free with There was no secret connect
ed with the discovery of the error. 1t
was open to the inspection OF every one.
1t was not Mr. Zanders mistake. The
office was never more competently or
,conscientiously filled than it is under him
as his records will show. Reference is
made to the matter only to call atten-
ton to the peculi&- condition of affairs
existing in the Office of the secretary by
means of which correspondence with it
is made public.

THE BANKING LAW.

1t will be remembered there were some
suits instituted by proprletors of certain
newspapers IN this state against counties
to secure pay for publishing the propos-
ed Banking law, in 1895. This was q
lengthy law and publication in each pa
per cost from $3.50 to 5000. The constitu-
ton prescribes that no banking law shall
90 into effect until it is submitted TO a
vote of the people. TWAS assumed that
the publication of this law should be
treated as if it We're an amendment 10
the constitution which requires publica-
tioi. though without good reason as the
constitution refers specifically to amend
ments.
The law was published III every coun-
ty in the st.s,e excepting Calumet ana
Sheboygan. The cost is variousiy esti-
mated at from 500, 600 to S100,0O0, IN
some counties it being published in more
than one each. The county boards OF
Wood. Langlade, Villas and one other
refused to pay for the publication In
the circuit courts for these counties the
decisions We're evenly divided, two Judges
deciding that the charge was legal one
and two that it was illegal. The mat
ter was brought into the supreme court
and a decision lately rendered that the
publication was unnecessary ana the
counties were not liable.
In this county the law was published
in only one paper, The Press. The bill
came before the County Board and was
duly allowed although mention was
made through one of the local papers
that the charge was not proper one
At the meeting of the Board lately hello
a resolution was adopted instructing the
District Attorney to take steps to re-
cover this money paid by the county for
the publication of the law 1t Is quite
certain that every county IN the STATE
which has paid for the publication Will
take similar steps as no other conr5e Is
left open to them Every county III
the state except six is affected. The
notices received from the Secretary OF
State would indicate that publication
was proper. so that county clerks did
not make the inquiries they would have
made if notices had come separate from
the election notice.

now and here, and as rapidly us the forms
of our institutions permit.
Change in Form of Property.
In the early days of the Republic, when
the principles were formulated which still
control our methods of taxation, visible
property constituted the property of the
community. Wealth meant houses, lands,
implements and cattle. Franchises,
bonds, stocks and securities were practi-
Cally unknown. Today they constitute.
according to conservative estimates, per-
haps 80 per cent of personally wealth
They are owned by the wealthy. AS q
rule, they escape taxation, not because
they are the property of the rich, but be-
cause the assessor cannot get his eyes on
them. The producer, on the other hand,
cannot conceal his stock, or the imple-
ments OF his trade, and they are taxed
The patriotic desire to volunteer tribute
to the state is probably no greater in the
one than in the other. To illustrate, let
me cite you to the last published report
OF our state auditor. The loans and
credits of the private banks, brokers, and
stock jobbers in the state were returned
and assessed at $383, ,636, while the sewing
machines were valued at nearly twice
that sum. ALI the bonds and stocks,
other than bank stocks, were returned
and valued at less than the yearling
calves, and less than double the valuation
of the dogs over six months old. Judging
by comparison and by data from other
states, it is safe to assume that the value
of the personal property in this state is
nearly as great as t$s realty. Asreturned
for taxation, the figures are in round
numbers: Real property, $500, 900,
personality, 800 100000. To get at the re-
naming personal property, or to substi-
tute some other method of obtaining rev.
enue more just and efficient than the
present antiquated system of taxing per-
sonalty, is the problem. To solve this, I
believe with my predecessor that a COM
mission should be appointed. If action
were taken by you in that behalf at once,
report might be obtained in time for
consideration at this session.

QUESTION OF TAXATION.
The Subject One of Greatest Importanc
Some Desirable Changes,

The Subject One of Greatest Importance.
Some Desirable Changes.
The subject of taxation is one so vital to
the state, so important to the people, that
it always merits the most earnest consid-
Grafton of both legislature and executive.
Taxation is appropriation by the state
of the property of the individual, and is
only justified when exercised for public
purposes, and in pursuance ofexpress law.
The question in behalf of what objects
state taxation should be imposed presents
few difficulties. AS to our public schools,
the administration of justice and of pub
lie affairs, our dependent and reformatory
institutions, public buildings and high
ways, and many other public Objects we
feel instinctively that they are matters of
public concern, and that reasonable ap-
preparations for those purposes are for the
public good. But your duty and mine is
only half performed when we have Sc
lected proper objects for the states care.
1t is equally important that the money
required for these purposes shall be levied
and taken from such sources that it's col
lection, in itself, will not be a detriment and
Menace to the Public Welfare.
A good end does not justify questionable
means. In our generous puDuc-Splr1GeQ
haste to provide for the many meritorious
objects of tho public care, we have been so
intent on the end that we have overlooked
the means. The truth of the matter is
that our state is today exacting taxes on
the little stock, tools, implements-the
means of subsistence-of numbers of our
citizens who are struggling to support
themselves and their families, while
thousands who possess great wealth
escape. Besides the inherent injustice of
this, the state can i'll afford to have those
already battling for an independent exist
ence loaded with additional burdens,
which will, sooner or later, transfer many
Of them into the dependents classes. That
this condition Of affairs exists, the most
:ursory Investigation of the subject will
show. It is no more just nor candid to
charge this to the depravity of the wealth.
Ter members of the community than IL 10
10 cry demagogy whenever the subject ID
brought up. It ia in my judgment, 3 con-
dition resulting from the new forms that
wealth hhs assumed under the remarkA-
BILE progress and the economic changes
which have taken place in this century. 4

CORPORATE TAXATION.
Foreign Companies Should Be Treated
the Same as Domestic Ones.

Foreign Companies Should Be Treated
the Same as Domestic Ones.
Akin to the question discussed, but
separate and distinct from it, and not in
anywise dependent upon it's disposition is
the subject of licensing and taxing cor
porations. By wise and well-considered
legislation on this subject, you can OBJ
tain an amount of revenue that will
more than make up for the proposed re-
duction in the tax levy and which will,
with other corporation taxes, in the course
of time, increase the permanent revenues
of the state to such an extent that a di-
rect tax for the revenue fund can be dis
pensed with. Our law now requires the
payment of a minimum incorporation fee
Of $50 to obtain corporate charter, and
In addition, one tenth of per cent on the
capitalization in excess of $4,000. This
provision is bringing large sums Of money
Into the treasury annually. 1t can and
should be extended to foreign corpora
tiofs doing business In this state. This
would only be . measure of Justice to our
solves and to our own business interests.
The license fee should IL Uniform with
that imposed on our d61nestic corpora
tfons, and may then be collected on the
entirs capital etcck Of the foreign corpor-
The Sauk Centre herald., 1899-01-05

these sources, I feel confident that you
can safely reduce the levy by $40 of a
mill, and: the state still realize in excess
of the estimate, The taxpayers are en-
titled to a reduction in view of the growth
of the state in population and wealth, and
I earnestly recommend that it be made.
This recommendation is not made in q
spirit of Indifference to the demands Of
that liberal progressive policy which is
characteristic of our people in their views
concerning public expenditures, but be-
cause it is earnestly believed that the
adoption of the measures for additional
revenues, and of reform in the admins
tration of our state institutions, herein
recommended, will result in increased
revenues on the one hand, and reduc-
ton of expenses on the other, and by that
means leave larger sum available for
new undertakings than would result un.
der the practices now in vogue
