GOVERNOR LA TOILETTE ON TAXATION.
rFrom ths ohicago Scandinavian ]

Governor La F~llette's ringing mes
sage ON taxation may pass un- heeded by
the present legislature, but it will meet
with hearty response among the peo-
pie. 1t is strong ray of hope amidst
bitter disappointments and blasted hopes
an assurance that, if lawmakers prove
faithless, the governor remains tIue 10
the caase of the people and the pledges
of his party.
The question of tax reform is not al
issue of yesterday in Wisconsin. As the
governor has stated SO clearly and well
in his message the people have for many
years insisted upon a more equal distri-
button of the burdens of taxation. The
Justice of their demand has been recog-
nized by all and denied by none. Both
parties have admitted the urgent neces-
sity of revision of the tax laws, and
for many years each has made tax re-
form a leading plank in its platforms
The legislature of 1899 created tax
commission charged with the task OF
studying the question in all its bearings
and of formulating legislation for a
better equalization of the tax burdens.
When the present legislature assembled
bills designed to remedy certain Unequal
tiles were submitted for it's considera-
ton. AS the governor says in his mes
sage to the assembly:
The tax commission has formulated
and presented to you bills which would
increase the states revenues from rail-
road companies, street railway compan-
les, and from telephone companies.
These bills are still pending before the
legislature or its committees. The COM
mission has presented facts and reasons
which have not been discredited, show
ing that the increases proposed in these
several bills would impose less than the
full share of taxes due from such COM
panies in comparison with the tax char
ges imposed upon the property OF indi-
viduals carried upon the tax rolls OF
the state.
The facts and reasons evidently did
not carry sufficient weight with the law
makers, for the bills have been rejected
and the quasi-public corporations, all OF
which are more or less undertaxed, will
continue to enjoy their immunity. How
ever, in order to make mp at least a part
of the loss to the public treasury, the
farmers and other priYSte taxpayers
were to be saddled with additional bur
dens in the form of tax upon their
watch dogs
The governors message on taxation
was fitting answer TO this grotesque
piece of tax reform" Only few days
of the session remained. and nothing
had been done to redeem the pledges TO
the people. The governor would him
self have been recreant TO his trust had
he failed to sound his clarion call to
duty. While it is a disheartening evil
dence of legislative incapacity or worse
it win rally the rank and file to stronger
efforts for the cause of just and whole
some reforms The republicans of Wis
consin now know whom they can trust
and whom they cannot trust. and hence.
forth will commit the cause of their
party and the people only to men who
are stalwart and true.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1901-05-15

to the legislature under pledge and pro-
mise to perform certain specific acts and
play the people false should be given 70
understand that in the public estimation
they are nothing more nor less than
blacklegs and swindlers. The tools of
the corporation lobby should be made to
realize that decent men lot K upon them
as better fitted to adorn the rogues gal
lery than TO represent an honest constit-
uency. When this is done there will be
less encouragement 10 such rascality and
perfidy as has been witnessed at Madison
this winter.
The governors message is calculate :.
TO clear the atmosphere In connection
with his message on taxation there Is
placed before the people of the state the
perfdy of their representatives, the
cause and the remedy. Good govern
ment is not to be attained in day.
The forces of corruption are too firmly
intrenched TO be lightly overcome, but
the governor has cleared the way for
better things. He has made it plain
where responsibility for failure lies. 1t
now rests with voters of the state to
determine whether the state of Wiscon-
sin shall be turned completely over to
the Pfisterites and their corporation allies
or whether the platform regulators
shall be condemned and the faithful
representatives retained, that legisla-
ture may be elected and state govern
ment secured that may be depended up
ON to keep faith with the people.
