TAX COMMISSIONER WANTED.

Some of the tax payers of Wausau
for some time past have not been salts
fed with the present system of appOr'
tiOning taxes, neither have they liked
the idea of the city electing three as,
SCISSORS each spring to do this work.
Consequently they set their minds to
work to devolve some scheme to rem
edy what they considered an evil. A
petition has been drafted, and is now
being circulated among the tax payers,
and, we understand, is meeting with
many signers. The petition here fol-
lows:
To the Hon. A /. Kreutzer. Senator and
Herman Miller, Member ofthe assembly.
GENTLEMEN
We, the undersigned, residents and
taxpayers of the city of Wausau, your
petitioners, earnestly request that you
so cause the charter of said city to be
so amended as to do away with the
election of three assessors, by repeating
all laws pertaining thereto, and in place
thereof provide for the election of one
tax commissioner for he whole city on
about the following lines:
Tax commissioner to be elected for
four years.
Salary to be fixed by common coun-
ell.
To have authority to appoint one per-
son in each ward for the purpose of
getting personal property statistics for
assessment.
TIE have authority to administer oaths.
To be building inspector, and all per
sons required to obtain permits where
building or repairs cost more than fifty
dollars.
For all of which we, the undersigned,
will ever pray.

LETTER FROM L. A. PRADT'

( the Republican State Convention upon
this question last summer.
But reflection will demonstrate that
the action of that Convention is alto
gether too slender a foundation upon
which to rest the assertion that the vast
majority of the people heartily approve
the primary election law. To begin
with, that Convention certainly did not
speak for the Democrats of the state,
who are nevertheless part of the people,
Indeed, the most that can be said for it
is that it represented the sentiments of
majority of the Republicans of Wis
consin. This convention, however,
runs counter to every argument of the
advocates of a primary electiOn-who
uniformly disparage all party cOnven-
tions.
Finally the Central has put itself on
record against the theory that the con-
vention of the dominant party speaks
for the people, by recently advocating
the repUdiatiOn of the declaration by
the Philadelphia National Convention
in favor of ship subsidy.
Altogether it is safe to say that Meth
er the Central or anybody else knows
what are the sentiments of the majority
of the people of Wisconsin on this novel
and serious question. And since this is
so, would it not be the part of wisdom
to first submit the matter to the
people? There does not seem to
be, any serious danger in waiting
for such action. The state has got
along very decently so far un-
der the old system ami can do so for
two years longer-esneci under a
reform administration. Surely if the
evils which it is sought to cure by the
proposed change had been very great,
the Central would have realized and
proclaimed the dreadful situation long
before this.
In conclusion l want to ask a ques-
ton of the Central.
The proposed primary election law
makes it not only possible but probable
that nominations will be made by
minority of ;hc votes cast on that sub
jcct. Indeed this minority might in
some instances be easily less than
fourth of the vote.-Is it thus that the
voice of the people is to be heard? Does
the Central approve that?
When it can be demonstrated that
primary election will give us candidates
chosen by a majority of the voters of
each party and that there is less likeli-
hood that the action of the voters in
thus choosing their candidates will be
improperly influenced than under the
old system: Then l will close my eyes
to the manifest imperfections of such a
law and favor it.
But neither of these facts have yet
been made to appear. AS it is find it
hard to endorse a measure which should
be entitled:
"a bill abolishing the right of the
people to meet in party conventions
and to formulate their party principles
in their own way, and providing for the
rule of the minority i'll party nomina
tionS-and for other infringcments up
on the rights of the people.

WASHINGTON, d. c.,
February 20. 1901
itOr Of The Wausau Pilot:

February 20, 1901
To tie Editor Of The WauSGu Pilot:
Some time since the Central Wiscon.
sin, in commenting upon Il letter which
had written to the Milwaukee Senti
mel on the subject of primary elections,
pronounced it so obscure as to call for
the use of dictionary and other works
of reference on the part of the Central
in order to arrive at a comprehension
of its meaning.
This is much to be regretted, but
there is solace in reflection upon the
unqualified benefit which must result to
the Central if it shall continue in the
habit of consulting the dictionary and
other sources of accurate information,
superinduced by its study of my letter.
The Central further pointed out with
relentless precision the damning fact
that the aforesaid letter was dated at
Wausau although | was at the time in
Washington. | can not deny this, but
my excuse is that | was asserting the
proud distinction of being Il citizen of
Wausau-a privilege which seems to
grow dearer to me with every annual
payment of my taxes
Also. Being now on my guard have
dated this communication from Wash
ington and | address it to the more toll
Grant consideration of the PILOT.
In its last issue the Central, in speak
ing OF the proposed primary election
law, says
A few good people may he delud
ed into opposing it, but the vast
majority approve it heartily.
AS the Central prefaces this pro
nOuncement with uncomplimentary ref
erence to certain other opponents of the
proposed legislation, indicating its low
estimate of their character, | am not
quite certain whether the vast majority
of which the Central speaks SO con-
fidently is majority of the good people
or of all the people of Wisconsin. How
ever, | am going to assume that it
means the latter.
If the vast majority or even a clear
majority of the people of Wisconsin
want a primary election law or any
other law, they will have it-and the
sooner the State Legislature recognize
this potent fact the better for them.
But the very importance of this al
legged fact leads me to earnestly inquire
of the Central how it came into posses
sion thereof From various reliable
sources am led to believe that it is
very doubtful what is the desire of the
people in general of our state on this
subject. One thing is, however, very
certain and that is that the people did
not give voice to any particular senti-
ment either in favor of or against Il
primary election during the past cam
paign. 1t is equally certain that the
people have had no opportunity to
manifest their wishes in this regard
since the campaign closed Hence, l
am forced to the conclusion that the
Central is merely giving buoyant Irish
guess about the situation or else that it
bases its statement upon the action of

NOTES FROM MADISON.

The season for INTRODUCED g new bills
into the legislature closed last Friday,
and on that day there was an avalanche.
The committee reported 1,006 bills as
against 9S3 at the session of two years
ago.
One of the new bills would have ap-
plicants study law three years before ex-
animation by the state board. Two
years has been the limit heretofore.
The bill to tax old maids and old
bachelors was killed. IT'S well.
There is large fight on to divide the
county of Chippewa. The chances for
division look to be very slim.
The bill to make it obligatory for
divorced persons to wait one year be-
fore they can remarry is looked upon
with favor.
Assemblyman Orton's bills would
make murder, when committed by a
person attempting highway robbery,
burglary or criminal assault, punisha-
BILE by hanging. The bill will not pass,
very likely but will stir up good deal
of discussion.
The amendment to the corrupt prac-
tices law provides that candidate who
defies the law shall be fined and i'm
prisoned, and if a successful candidate,
shall forfeit his office.
The Milwaukee Journals Madison
correspondent say: Senator Kreutzer
made red hot argument before the
claims committee in favor of the bill to
increase the salaries of supreme and
circuit court judges to $4,000 and $1,000,
respectively He said that the supreme
justices worked like slaves to decide the
$50 cases annually before them, and
that they should receive something like
the money paid to leading lawyers yb
private and corporate interests. Sena.
tor Burns opposed the bill. He said
that the state could not afford to COM
pete with railroad companies for legal |
talent, "and we don't want such talent |
if we can get it," The committee went
into executive session and struggled |
with the question for an hour without |
reaching conclusion. tits understood |
that they stand about where they did
Tuesday evening" and on the bill as
amended by striking out the circuit
judges.
The bill in reference to establishing
bicycle side paths is as good as killed.
When it was found that it was going to |
interfere with the rights of farmers, it
was evident that it had TO 60
