Much significance is attached to the
recent address of Senator Whitehead
at Madison, owing to his recognized
standing as legislator. Senator
Whitehead recognizes the gravity of
the question of taxation and the need
of an able tax commission to help the
legislature. His speech was rather an
explanation Of conditions to be consid-
cred than an outline of system. He
opposes any drastic legislation as flu
tile and appears to favor a just assess
ment of all tangible property and the
cessation of all attempts at searching
for hidden wealth. He doubts whether
as much really escapes taxation as is
usually believed. AS to corporations,
he argues for perfectly fair treatment
and exemption from recurring politi-
cal agitation. Under such conditions,
the corporations should become help
ers of the state by aiding in reaching
fair conclusions. Thus they will add
to their own security and prosperity.

Senator Whitehead is level headed,
bload-guage citizen Of the common
wealth and his sound and enlightened
views on the question of taxation
makes him decided favorite with the
common people. He is loyal, con-
sistent republican, an able legislator
and is thoroughly familiar with all
state affairs. Mr.. Whitehead is un-
doubtedly the best available man in
the state to unite and harmonic the
party, and in the event Of his nomina-
tion (his election following, of course)
he will make an ideal executive.-Flor-

LaFollette was mighty strong in the
assembly when it came to the Stevens
bill. but he was not in evidence when
railway taxation was up for considera-
ton. He passed the Stevens bill. The
taxation bills we're killed in commit
tee. This only demonstrates the La
Toilette treatment of a business prop
osition and a political proposition.
Apply this test all along the line and
it will be seen that LaFollette is a
