Advise to Assessors.

The Wisconsin state tax commission
has issued pamphlet Of twenty nine
pages containing instructions to asses
sors and boards of review, which will
be sent into the various counties this
week for the use of the assessors who
begin their work May l. The little work
does not profess to contain all the pro-
visions Of the assessment laws, but aims
rather to center attention upon the more
important requirements and to empha-
size the need of more scrupulous OBJ
servance of the fundamental features of
the law.
1t is expected that copy of the pam
phlet will be put in the hands of each
assessor in the state by the county clerks,
to whom they will be sent in quantities.
While the instructions are prepared es-
pecially for assessors, they will be inter
esting to any one who ispaying attention
TO the subject of taxation.
In the Introduction the commission
say it is their purpose to aid not harass
or embarass assessors in the performance
of their duties. A complete statement
Of all provisions of law for the guidance
of assessors is not attempted. Only the
more. important provisions are pointed
OuC VI COLuLuouC6O upon, moro especially
those which appear to have been disre-
garded to an extent in former years.
Assessors will not assume of course that
provisions of law not especially men
toned are to be disregarded or treated
as unimportant. On the contrary they
are asked to study carefully and become
thoroughly familiar with all existing
provisions of law relating to the asses
ment of property for taxation
Referring to the growing evil of a fail
ure to reach for assessment a large
amount of personal property, the COM
mission says: "Statistics of assessment
indicate that the practice or custom of
emitting Or withholding personal prop
erty from assessment is increasing. For
instance from 1887 to 1897 the total as
sessed valuation of real estate in Wjscon-
sin increased about 86115 per cent, while
that of personal property increased only
about 4O1a per cent, the increase of the
latter being less than one-half of that of
the former"

New Ulm review., 1900-10-17

wheat is &c per hundred. This is the
rate any one shipping from Chicago will
have to pay. The rate from Minneapo-
lis to indianapolis is TIC. OF this TIC
the railroad west of Chicago receives II
and 1-5 cents and the railroad east Of
Chicago receives five and four fifth cents:
This 5 4-5 cent rate is also applied to
shipments originating at New Tim and
shipped on "trausit account" to Chicago,
in order to give the New Ulm shipper
the same rate as the Minneapolis ship
per receives. 1t is this five and four
tifths cent rate that the Journal wrong
fully uses as the local rate frcm Chicago
to Minneapolis.
In the same manner the Journal uses
q 71c rate from Chicago to Cincinnati
when the rate is Sc. It also gives an
&c rate to Pittsburg from Chicago when
the rate is lie.
Below will he found tables giving in
formation which will aid in showing the
errors in the Journals investigation"
Freight rate. Oh wheat to Minneapolis

New Ulm review., 1900-10-17

| freight rates to Minneapolis from these
stations govern the local wheat prices.
The freight rate from New Ulm to
Minneapolis is at present l0c per 100, or
&c per bushel. This means that the New
Ulm farmer receives &c per bushel less
for his wheat than the Minneapolis price.
The freight from Evan to Minneapo-
lis is lie per 100. or six and six-tenths
cents per bushel. This means that the
Evan farmer receives six and six-tenths
cents per bushel less for his wheat than
the Minneapolis price, or only s-10 of
cent less than the New Ulm farmer re-
ceives.
But the Journal says the rate from
Evan to New Ulm is TIC per 100, or 41c
| bushel, and their article intends to
convey the idea that the Evan farmer re-
ceives that much less (viz. 44c) per
busl.el for his wheat than the New Ulm
farmer.
The rate frcm Morgan to Minneapo-
lis is tic per 100, or and 6-l0 cents a
bnshrl. The Morgan farmer receives
six and six ten,hs cents per bushel less
than Minneapolis price for his wheat.
This is the same price per bushel as the
Evan farmer gets, but the Morgan rate
to New Ulm is SC per 100, or four and
eight zenith cents bushel.
The Redwood freight to Minneapolis
IS lie. The Redwood farmer gets six
and six tenths cents less than Minneapo-
lis price Gust the same price per bushel
as the Evan and Morgan farmers get) fol
his wheat, but his rate to New Ulm.
says the Journal, is &c per 100, or five
and four-tcnths cents bushel. r. i b.
The Golden farmer gets 6 and $40
cents less than Minneapolis price for his
wheat, the freight being lO9c per 100 to
Minneapolis. This is within $40 Of one
cent per bushel Of New Ul,n price,.

agreed. to accept the new schedule of
rates proposed by the commission.
During May of this year there was
general reduction of wheat rates from
this territory to Minneapolis. The old
rates had been in effect for at least five
years, but under the Lind administra-
tration there was reduction in freight
to Minneapolis of 1c a 100 from New
Ulm, Essig, Sleepy Eye, Golden, Spring
field, Lamberten, Walnut Grove, Tracy
and Marshall, of 1c y 100 from Red
wood Falls and Candy. These rates
were reduced upon order Of the railroad
commission. #.... 4 .Z.,
The reduction in the Minneapolis rate
brought about reduction i'll the rate to
Chicago and We find that in May Of till,
New Ulm review., 1900-10-17
lev Ulm is five and seventeenth cents

New Ulm is FIVE and seven-tenth cents
. busEel.
We have now covered the stations the
journal mentions in its article.
To further show the fallacy of the
Journal's deductions, we will come a
little closer home and take as an illus
stration the station of Essie, with which,
all our farmers are acquainted.
The freight from Essi9 to New Ulm
is 41c q 100 or 2 7.10c bushel. Ac-
cording to the Journals method of de-
duction, the Essig farmer ought to re-
ceive 2 7-1Oc bushel lees than the New
Ulm farmer. Is this the case2 No. The
Essig farmer receives exactly the same
price for his wheat as the New Ulm
farmer. Why IS this sol Because the

stationary for five years, Is reduced 1c a

from Sleepy Eye, Evan, Morgan, Red.
wood Falls and Candy, and He a 100
from Walnut Grove, Tracy, Marshal
and Minneota. --.-<
And all this happened during the
Lind administration. @.s
The above is sufficient to show that
the Journal article is not reliable, how
ever we wish to show few more
''errors" in the same article.
In its comparison the journal quotes
q l99c rate from Minneapolis to New
York. True, the rate from Minneapolis
to New York is at present 194c, ''if
shipment is made over the great lakes''
the Journal should have added. The
rate for shipment via all rail is 224c.
Effective Nov. l, 1900, the lake and
rail rate vii! be 22c and the all rsil
rate Csc.
But these are not fair rates to com.
pare with the all rail- rates in this terri
tory, as the lake competition forces
downrstes at this season.
From Nov. l, 1899 to March 20, 1900,
that being the time during which there
was no lake navigation, the rate from,
Minneapolis to New York was 294c u
100 all rail.
3 With the opening Of lake navigation
rates dropped to the present basis. W.
are now nearing the close of this years
lake season aud rates are again beng
advanced.

apnlls. This las, illustration is one that
every reader has an opportunity of con-
vincing himself. Ask an Essig farmer
what he is receiving for his wheat today.
Ask the New ulm farmer what he is re-
sceiviLg for his wheat. Ask the r. r.
Co, for the rate on wheat from Ess,g to
New Ulm. Convince yourselves that we
aresright. ~.
In the same manner it can be shown
Springfield farmer receives with
in 6 6 10c, the Lamberton farmer within
7 2-1Oc, the Tracy farmer within loc,
the Canby farmer within 8 Aloe of the
Minneapolis price, although their freight
into New Ulm is respectively $40,
57.10, 6 45-10O and z 8, 1Oc bushel.
BY no means do we wish to convey
the idea that the present distance tariff
rates in this state are as low as they
should b., but we desire to show that
the Journal is making wr.ng use of
these rates in stating that they have an
effect on the price of wheat.
The aim of the present administration
has been to leduce these very distance
tariff rates. Hampered 1T first. by an
adverse railroad commission, but aided
now by a commission favorable t" the
administration, the effects are beginning
to tell and the railroads have practically

Big Contract for an American Company,
 After being carefully guarded for oyer two months it has leaked out that the tramway committee of the Glas- BOW 6Scotland) corporation has award ed the contract for the supply and lay ing of the conduit for conveying the cable for Glasgow municipal tramways to the National Conduit and Cable company of America. The york of laying the pipe under American super vision has already begun. and some 300 haFies are being employed. This con- dnit contract is reported to be by far the most important one ever placed outside of England Already 2,000, 600 feet of piping have been ordered, and It is said that the chances are that the entire requirements in this line will be. tiled by the Americans. and that the cable-on the superior manufacture Of which English manufacturers have long prided themselyes-Will also be ordered from the United States The curious part of the conduit contract is that lump sum has been agreed upon with the National company that will include the supply of pipes, the ex- cavatlon of the earth as well as the laying o2 tue pipe.
