Again Urge New Tax Basis.

In It's second biennial report, the Wis
consin State tax commission renews its
recommendation, made two years ago,
for taxing the railroads of the State on
their valuation, instead of ON the license
fee basis. A strong argument is made
by the commission against the taxation
of credits. with dissenting opinion to
this recommendation by Second Assist
ant Commissioner Haugen. Taxation of
inheritance is strongly recommended, and
it is probable that the Legislature will
re-enact, with proper changes, the law
recently declared unconstitutional.

All pagan religions are not entirely
humbugs; they are not the result of
scheming by crafty priests seeking to
Cypress the people, but they are the
aspirations of men after God. But the
! Christian religion is the only one that
pretends to help men recover from the
effect of sin, and it is this spirit of
helpfulness that distinguishes and uni
fies Christianity Though we differ
from one another. at the bottom of all
sects is faith in God as helpf Il God
Though there is much of paSanism
in Christianity. the distinction between
ii and paganism is Il very simple one
Wherever you have Il religion the sole
object of which is to appease wrath
full god or TO bride with sacrifices and
libations a sympathetic god, you have
paganism. But where you find a relig-
ion the sole object Of which is the up
lifting of humankind, there you have
Christianity. Character and not hap

ity, Surroundings % unalloyed happi-
uess will not produce character. The
happiness which comes to US is merely
incidental.
\ man is not a Christian because he
joins a church. but he joins church
because lie is Christian. Christian

at the bottom Of it is ills secret-God
