The other Side of 1t.

Of course, Judge ellison is no tyro
in reaching conclusions. He is very
wise man and does not go off half
cock. His idea is that, while the plan
OF full assessment is sound and should
be permanent, the present unforeseen
contingencies call for a special inter
probation when il comes to the state
basis. Just why he believes the law
provided that property should be as
sesssed at it's market value for local
taxation purposes, and at less than that
value for state taxation purposes, the
judge declines to say. He reasons that
the neglect of the legislature in not
limiting the amount to be raised by
the mill tax for common schools is
followed by such serious consequences
as to warrant Intervention to protect
the taxpayer The common schools
are entitled to 1-mill tax on the as
sesssed valuation of the state. Last
year it was $636,000, property being
assessed low; this year it is more than
twice as much-$1, 100000. No won
der Judge ellison is staggered. This
school tax bears heaviest on the rich
counties, with proportionately few
children, and is boon to the new,
poor counties. where children abound.

Persistent Incendiaries.

Madison, Wis, Oct. S.-We had a
visit from Mr. Ellis Usher last week,
that very bright milwaukee, writer.
He has been down east lately, in and
about Boston, where he has three sis
tiers, all of them, or their husbands,
engaged in the higher activities that
interest cultivated people. Mr.. Usher's
ancestral home is Buxton, Me-, and
beginning with the MayfloWer, the
PUritans were kept busy for centur-
les rallying the necessary force to pro-
duce our Wisconsin friend. Mr.. Usher
spins many interesting. stories for one
like myself who never tires. OF these
New England traditions. He did a
real service in his article some years
ago for the New England Magazine on
the men who had come from that Sec
zion to Wisconsin. He was sick one
winter and diverted himself by get
ting the material for it. If you ever
visit the mOtherland and are called Oh
for a speech, Usher's article will cram
you from the jokes to the windy finale.
Takes Politics Not Too Seriously.
In New York Mr.. Usher usually sees
the Reform club push who have long
cultivated him as q member and rep
resentative of the young west. Usher
is always pleasant and like the wise
ones who play about the pool of poll
tics, does not take it too seriously.
While in Madison he endeavored to
get some warm" interviews on poll
tics, but did not succeed.
The governor is still doing well, but
of course, weak. He has lost cOnsid-
cradle flesh, as any one would who has
been feeding on liquids for some
months. However, he is about the
house and gaining. He reads the Mad
ison papers and some others. PrOba-
bly, not dozen people have seen him
since he has been sick, but this is wis
dom. He could have an occasional in
tervieW without injury, but if some of
the politicians were controlling with
him and others not, it would make
heart burnings, and he is wisely con-
Yalescing single-handed.

Anarchy Near Home .

Speaking of anarchy, Humbird, in
Clark county, on the Omaha road, be-
tween Black River Falls and Eau
Claire, reports a state of affairs that
should arouse the local government
if not the state Last April the Free
Methodist church was destroyed by
fire, it being a matter of common be-
lief that the efforts of the pastor, Mr..
Ghormly, and some of his people in
securing convictions for violation Of
the liquor laws enraged saloon keepers
to the point of incendiarism. The
church was rebuilt, largely by the Ia
Dor of the pastor himself and by gifts
from outside. On a recent Sunday
night, at late hour, the new church
again went up in smoke, this time with
the parsonage. That saloon men are
the guilty parties there is not a doubt
in the minds of those who know the
facts.
This is a condition Of affairs not To-
cal, but national in significance. 1t is
not the first time arson has been the
refuge of men whose violation Of law
has led to prosecutions. 1t is terror
ism of a defiant, anarchical character;
a menace to fire insurance companies
that will increase if not quickly sup.
pressed before it becomes popular, and
contempt for law that makes govern
ment look silly. The right of proper
ty, the right Of life ITSELF is put under
foot by these incendiaries, and in this
law-abiding state bold and repeated
notice is served on the citizens of a
community that loss and secret terror
will be ruthlessly meeted out to citi-
Zens who insist on obedience to law.
It is the advance splash Of the wave
Of friction, riot, conspiracy, assassina
ton and blood, inevitable as a result
of the American practice of CHASING
the enforcement of laws affecting sa-
looms and vice as optional, violation of
such laws being no serious offense, but
often connived at and even co-operated
in by public officials.

The Increased Assessment.

Judge ellison of the tax commission
dissented from Mr.. Curtis and Mr..
Haugen as to the increased assessment
of taxes. 1t is understood that Mr..
Haugen was disposed to dissent, but
was held in line by the contentious of
Mr.. Curtis, who is a very able man,
with nerve to burn. The reasoning Of
those who indOrSe The increased assess
ment and are glad to have it stand is
thus:
1.-THE state tax commission, and no
one else, started this demand for full
value assessment. 1t issued circulars,
instructions, warnings to local asses
sOrs from Kenosha to Ashland to screw
values up to selling price, and quoted
court decisions to show what such val
ues are. The response was noble. Up
went assessed valuations 100 per cent.
and even more. Now that the returns
are in, some people are afraid they
look too big. Bankers and large prop
erty OWners are saying, Where will
this lead to? 1t is a time for tax re-
formers to stand their ground The
full assessment plan is the best, and
when once installed will make for
justice, clearness and economy. But,
of course, it's introduction is attended
by unexpected consequences and en-
barrassment. Innovations always
make some trouble. One thing is GER
tain: If the full-assessment system
is discredited now at this critical
hour, there will be slump back to
the old uncertain, unjust plan, and rec
concentrations of the tax commission
will be received with a wink of the
left eye"
