Full Assessments and Taxes
Governor LaFolleue Not Responsible
for Either.
WHITEHEAD PROMINENT IN 1T.
He introduced the Bill, Voted for II
and Helped TO Pass IT,

Nothing in the many falsehoods or
the boilers league intended to pref
udice the people against Governor
LaFollette is more dastardly than
their representation that he Is re-
spousible for the full valuations for
taxation and the incidental increase
of the one mill school tax.
| The state tax commission was cre-
ated and appointed under Sco1ield's
administration. For many years 1t
had been the law that all property
should be assessed at full valuation
for taxation. The legislature OF
1901 passed bill giving the tax
commissions power to enforce this
| law. Whitehead introduced this
| bill. He reported it favorably from
his committee. He voted for it when
passed. The tax commission is en-
forcing it. This increases the as
sessed valuation of property, but
should not increase taxes at all, as
the tax rate should be lowered in the
same proportion that the ass essed
valuation was increased.
But, another old law of the state
provides that tax of one mill on
the dollar shall be levied by the state
for support Of public schools. Here
tufure the amount raised by this one
mill lax was about sG50,00O per year,
but with full valuation this amount
is largely increased. Gov. LaFollette
and the tax commission saw that this
would be so and had II bill prepared
limiting the amount of the levy for
school purposes to what IL had
been heretofore. Whitehead, as
chairman OF the committee on taxa
ton, opposed that bill and it was de-
feated. Consequently the one mill
school tax this year is 100000 great
er than ii would have been had John
Nj. Whitehead aud his stalwart col
leagues in the legislature supported
and passed tie bill recommended by
Gov. LaFollette and the state tax
commission.

THERE'S NO lsrollETTE SLATE.

The representation by the boilers
league press that Governor LuFoll-
cite is debating nominations for 9TH
er positions on the state ticket that
he has made up a slate-is but one of
the many falsehoods put out for the
purpose of weakening the admins
tratiou cause. There are many can
didates for places on the state ticket
who are equally deserving and ac-
ceptable to supporters of the govern
or, and who would be aggrieved
should he attempt to "set pins
against them. That he could be SO
uuwise and unjust rs to do it, is not
thinkablc. Delegates to the state
convention who support LaFollette
for governor will no doubt be divid-
ed as to choice for other nominees,
and untrammelled as to their action,
so far as he il concerned,

The Milwaukee Journal. one of the
most pronounced anti-LaFollette pa
p-rs in the state, is not SO asinine as
To think it can successfully deceive
the people by misrepresentation Of
patent fucts. 1t correctly gives the re-
suits Of conventions thus far held for
election Of delegates to the state con-
veniion, ana frankly shows that La
Toilette is much stronger as against
Whitehead than he was as against
Scofield in 1893 when the latter was
nominated by u narrow majority.
The Journal admits that returns
from the county conventions show
hat so far, Whitehead, as compared
with Scofield's vote in 1893, has lost I
votes in Calumet, 8 in Eau Claire, IL
in Fond du Inc, 6 in Langlade, 10 in

Boy With Bad Career.


Sheriff Dickinson of Grant county
went to Darlington last week and Sc
cured custody of VIM. Bronze, a young
man whose parents reside in the
town of Lima, on charge of horse
stealing. On Sunday, June Is, Bronze
engaged a team from a Montfort liv-
eryman and failed to return with it.
Officers were notified and a warrant
issued for his arrest. He eluded
search for time bu. finally it was
learned that the much wanted youth
was at Darlington The sheriff went
there and found his man in county
jail, where he was being held on
charge of disposing OF mortgaged
poperty. The team from Montfort
he had mortgaged as security for II
new rubber tired buggy at Darling
ton and had also purchased an inter-
est in a livery barn there, giving his
note in payment along with check
drawn on The First National Bank
of Lancaster" There being no such
institution there the Darlington au-
thorities commenced investigation
and in the meantime Bronze sold his
mortgaged team. This last act land
ed him in jail. The Lafayette coun-
ty sheriff was 10th to part with the
prisoner, but through the earnest in
terceding of the young mans father
and the efforts of Sheriff Dickinson
his custody was secured and he was
taken to Lancaster and lodged in
Jail,
The young mans career has been
decidedly checkered for some years
past, having been arrested on numer-
Gus occasions, the last instance being
a charge of forgery. The indulgent
father paid off the penalty for that
offence and secured his liberty.

LaFOliETIE's DEFEATiS SPooNER'S
DANGER.

Should La Toilette be defeated for
denomination, the number of repub-
Leans elected to the legislature will
be materially lessened. With La
Toilette at the head of the state tick
1T some legislative districts will be
saved to the republicans that other
wise will be lost. Spooner's return
to the senate is possible only in the
event of IA positive republican ma
iority in the legislature. These are
propositions that few will combat.
Therefore, wise and unselflsh friends
of the senator see that danger to
him is involved in the defeat of La
Toilette, and the unwisdom of those
friends of the senator who wish to
defeat the governor, as a service to
the former, is manifest. Let us sup
pose, small majority of republicans
in the legislature, "A portion of which
are enthusiastic friends Of the gov
ernor, smarting under his defeat. Is
this small majority of republicans
more likely to unite in re-electing
the senator than would be "A larger
majority, with none feeling the sting
of what they consider an unjust de-
feat of their favorite for governor, ac-
complished through the aid of
Spooner's most pretentious friends"
| He who so calculates takes no ac-
count of the frailties of human ma
ture, and the disposition to get
even by fellows who consider them
selves unfairly worsted in "A political
contest. The Tribune presents this
view of possibilities only TO exhibit
the damphoolishness of Spooner's
so.called friends. There is but re-
mote probability of LaFollette's de-
feat, or the conditions predicated
thereon.

DESERVES AND WINS SUCCESS.

Wednesday, June 18th, the Mil
waukee Free Prees completed the
first year of it's life, and celebrated
the event with a % page edition. The
Free Press was started among many
misgivings on the part of its well
wishers, and in the face OF the most
formidable array of opposition ever
met by ii great newspaper enterprise.
Its mission was to take the place of
the old Milwaukee Sentinel. that had
been recognized throughout the state
as reliable and honest exponent Of
the people and the principles Of the
republican party, but which had fall
en- under control of Millionaire Char
ley Pfister and been converted into
an organ of the Milwaukee city rail
way company and other big finan-
cial interests adverse to popular gov
ernment This mission the Free
Press has grandly fulfilled. In one
year it has come to be recognized
throughout the northwest as in the
front rank of great dailies. In its
news department it is uneXcelled.
and for reliability of news reports is
unrivaled in the state. 1t is n pleas
ure to note that the paper is appreci-
ated by the public, and that it enjoys
a patronage in advertising and crcu
lation yielding fair returns to the
men who undertook its establish
ment. 1t submits indsputable proofs
of present regular circulation of
over 1900 daily, exclusive of sample
copies, and its pages are crowded
with advertisements for the best bus
mess houses of Milwaukee. The phe-
nominal success of the Free Press is
due to its meeting the demands for a
high toned fearless champion of
right principles ana IA faithful chron-
icler of the news of the day; and to
the fact that it's editorial and bust
ness management has been in the
clean and able hands of H. p. N.Y.
| rick and A. Huegin, who received the
| training fitting them for the work
from the newspaper Gamaliel-Hor-
ace Rub|ee.

w. A. JONES FULL MEDICATION

The Washington Correspondent of
the Milwaukee Journal says: I'm
dian Commissioner Jones has taken
steps to invite The Outlook, and
some other publications that have
attacked him, to explain to their
readers the result of the senate sub
committees Investigation into the
grave charges that were made
against him. A good idea of the ba-
sis for these charges may be had from
the fact that letter written by one
William V. Wade of North Dakota
to Senator j. X. Jones of the senate
committee on Indian affairs, furnish
ed the authority on which the at
tacks were made. Since Mr.. Wade
was here to testify before the inves-
tigating committee, which reported
that the charges were baseless, he
has voluntarily written the commits
Toner as follows:
w. A. Jones, Washington, d. c.:

talk with you after the hearing be-
fore the senate subcommittee, May
