Interstate Tax Legislation.

Milwaukee Sentinel: One suggestion
made by Senator Whitehead, or rather
limited at by him, VI as that the problem
confronting this state was not peculiar
to Wisconsin. but was shared by every
commonwealth in the Union. This
problem is, he holds, national in its
scope, and there should be system of
cooperation between the states to the
end that the best results may be
reached. The strength of this position
is not difficult to discover when the
fact is stated that all great trunk lines
of railroads run through two or more
states. These roads may have valu-
able terminals and dividend earniug
lines in state. while their branches in
other states may be of very little value
Or, the terminals may be in one state
and the paying lines in another What
ever system may be adopted for assess
ing and collecting taxes or licenses
from these roads, the senator believes.
should be the work of tax commissions
representing several states.

La FOllette's Milwaukee organ, OF
course, sees in it bid for gubernato-
rial honor, but the same charge could
be made against any public man who
ventures to address his fellow citizens
on any leading state question Sena-
tor Whitehead is sound on the question
of taxation, he takes a broad and en-
hghtened view of the subject. He be-
heves firmly in the tax commission, in
fact he was one of the first men in the
state to sungest it. 1t would never
have seen the light of day but for his
efforts. Should the state ever honor
him with the high Office of chief exec

legislator, an energetic persevering
man, whose earnestness and absolute
fidelity to the interests of whatever he
undertakes, gains him the confidence

that it will be better for all parties
