/ Where Carnegie Could Get Light.
| asked Senator Stout the other day
IL he had ever talked libraries with
Mr.. Carnegie and he said he had never
met the man.
But wouldn't tn. Sc two library en-
thusiasts have a good time OF a long
winters evening before an open tire.
! = here is one phase of Mr. Carnegie's
| giving that might be improved, |
| think" said Senator Stout the other
| day. mir. Carnegie follows the law
| of f-help admirably in expecting
| communities which he benefits to bear
part of the burden. Sometimes the
| city TO furnish site and 10 per cent.
| In annual maintenance. But | do not

| Menomonie instanced city in another
state where the results were most
| disappointing both as TO externals and
equipment.
Senator Stout is working on his bill
| 10 establish county agricultural
schools. The plan is to try a couple
of schools In the same manner r. It

Stout Chases Shadows Away.
Did you notice that tragedy in Mas
sachusetts-in a country community
so small that the name was not on
the map-of a depressed and lone
ly-mad mother who killed all of her
six children?
When j. FL. Stout's plans for the
frightening and uplifting of life in
the country districts are all fulfilled,
such an unutterahly sad thing could
not happen. The picture of this good
man should be on the mantel of every
farm home In Wisconsin.
Reapportionment is making some
hard feelings, as was predicted. Those
members whose sections suffer feel
it keenly, for they are apt to imagine
that their constituents may think
there Is a loss because the member
lacks influence This is all nonsense,
because the distribution Is purely a
matter of mathematics. There is polit-
zeal adroitness In rearranging districts.
but no county loses a member of the
assembly uHjustly. OF course, Nil
waukee gets the most of the increase.
The assembly district bin is not like
ly to be revised and the state is fort
innate in having the matter disposed
of as easily as 1t is.
Taxation Measures Daily.
what are we here for?'' Would
probably be best answered If law
maker should reply Taxation" 1t
was the loudest cry In campaign time.
Yet primary elections have complete
ly submerged the tax issue However.
there is an end to everything and the
bills affecting taxation must in time,
get on the floor. The prophets say
storm win then break: that the
Milwaukee interests, the railroads.
etc. have a Carrie Nation ak con-
eealed for the tax commission. and Il
is not unlikely. The reorganized Mil
waukee Sentinel says the commission
had nothing worth hearing to say In
view of its limited period of research:
and there are signs in other infiuen-
tial papers of a dispositi.a to fight
rather than to submit q the in
creased taxation proposed by the COM
mission, The senate has many con
servatives in it. But Governor La
Toilette Is believed to lay stress on the
enactment of tax reform laws that his
election and administration were sup
poseu to assure the people, and IL this
reform" is not Forthcoming, we may
see crisis and struggle this win
ter that win make the primary cleo
ton disagreement a mere incident by
the way. If LaFollette shall be pre-
sented to the people as struggling 10
increase the tax burden ON CORPORA
lions, and his enemies are resisting il.
like enough the little governor would
recover some of the prestige that has
been invaded by three months of talk
ing about the Stevens bill. However,
we shall know more later.
