CHICAGO APPRECIATES OUR GOVERNOR.

Record Herald: 1t is a safe guess
that the governor yho has just COM
municsted &c the Legislature of Wiscon-
sin his olini,a of law makers who pro-
pose TO tax female dogs three dollars
each and let the corporations escape
their j,.st burden would not appoint
Joseph Bidwell to be chief grain inspect
Or in the second largest city in the Union.
This is only another way of saying
that the people of Wisconsin placed a
man of moral stamina and political cour-
age in the governors chair when Gney
elected Robert M. La Toilette to be
chief executive of tho state. The people
of the Badger state knew he was be-
yond the reach of the bosses and party
machines when they elected him Cover
nor. They knew that he stood for the
nomination of candidates for Office by
direct vote of the people. They also
knew that Is favored measures for
equahzing the work of taxation and that
these reforms had been earnestly advo-
Gated By him l., every state campaign.
1t wae not surprising therefore, that
the failure of the legislature TO redeem
the campaign promises upon which it
was elected should call from the COVER
nor one of the most scathing rebukes
ever administered by an executive to a
law making body. Instead of equalizing
the burdens of taxation in accordance
with the recommendation of tax com
mission appointed under authority
granted by the legislature of 1899 the
present legislature passed bill taxing
male dogs 81 each and female dogs So
each.
In yetoing the bill the governor 1e-
Trained from comment on the proposed
ubiquitous and unjust discrimination
against female dogs. After scoring
the legislature for its delinquency, he
said:
For the reasons herein stated | am
unwilling to present TO the people of
this state, in lieu of legislation to equal
lie taxation which has been promised
to them and which they had right to
expect from representative government,
scheme which, in 3 gent al way, may
be det ribed as an act to relieve the
farmer or city home owner of a small
measure OF increased tax upon his realty
by imposing license fee upon his dog.
The Wisconsin legislature has certain
ly introduced novel idea in revenue leg.
islation-that of relieving the farmer
and home owner of the burdens OF
unequal taxation by taxing his dog.
