shall be raised by direct tax on all
other taxable property. This provi-
sion,-which means taking 100000
from the general fund during this hi.
ennial period was inserted in the
bin by the senate committee
on taxation, What good pur,
pose can it serve to withdraw this
100000 from the general fund? II il
is needed in the treasury to meet the
expenses OF the state government,
then il ought not to be drawn out un.
der this bill, If It transpires that II Is
not needed in the general fund, when
the time comes to apportion the state
tax, it would be distributed as surplus
under the statute, and the rate OF tax,
alton reduced thereby. The only pur.
pose which this provision can serve,
is either 10 create a deficiency in the
general fund, or prevent the reduction
of taxation during this biennial term,
cit can in no way relieve the owners
of other taxable property in the state,
and 1t surely can serve no good pur
pose to resort TO this circuitous meth.
cd OF maintaining an excessive tax by
giving it the scmhlance Of a reduction
of 100000 to the individual tax payer,
and at the same time the appearance
of an increase of 100000 in the IL

000 annually or 100000 for the hien-
nial period, No such appropriation
has heretofore been made from the
general fund; consequently the appro-
priatiOns are,--hy this singular provi-
sion Of rohbiug one fund to increase
another,-apparently swellcd to the eX-
tent of $4,000 for the next two years,
The possibility that this might
create a deficiency in the general fund
before the expiration OF the present
biennial period, and the manifest in
justice OF thus reducing that fund, to
preclude reduction in taxation dur
ing the next two years, would call for
the exercise of the veto power were 1t
not for the fact that this would lose
to the taxpayers the reduction which
does result from the change in rate
under another provision of this bill
from one mill to seven-teuths of a
mill or upon the basis OF valuation Of

GOVERNOR SIGNS
SCHOOL TAX BILL
BUT ATTACHES A MEMORANDUM
OF DISAPPRoVAL.
SCORING FOR WHITEHEAD
La Toilette Declares Provision to
Take 100000 Out of General Fund
for Schools viii Preclude PossibiI.
ity of Reduction of Taxation and
May Embarrass Treasury.
Madison, May 20

MdulSti, May ~
Gov, La Toilette yesterday approved
the bin amending the one mill tax bill
and also the bill refunding the
amounts collected under the inherit
lance tax law which was declared an
constitutional. To the school tax law
he attached a memorandum calling at.
tention to the futlity of taking $500
GOO of the money to be used for school
purposes out of the general fund Of
the state. He shows that the taking
Of this money out of the general fund
can in no way relieve the general tax
payers of the state and says that it
was manifestly done for the purpose
of preCluding the possibility of max
ing a reduction in the taxes during the
next two years. He calls attention to
the fact that a veto should be inter
posed were it not for the fact that a
veto might result in the one mill tax
being undisturbed,
The governor exposes what he as
sumes to be the plan of the majority
in the senate under Senator White,
head to hamper the administration and
if possible increase the cost of govern
ment to the people of the state. The
following was the memorandum at.
tached to the bHl:
"In 1899 the amount Of money raised
under the mill tax law for the benefit
of the common schools was 100000.
In 1902 the state board of assessment
had SO increased the total valuation Of
the taxable property OF the state that
the amount of money collected under
the mill tax law was 81 ,504 ,346. That
this enormous increase was unneces-
sary and. indeed, greatly in excess Of
the amount required by the best in.
terests Of the common schools was
not open TO dispute. In the session Of
1901 effort was made to secure legis
could be collected under the mill tax
to $650,000 This was defeated by the
senate.
In the first message at the begin
ming Of the session Of 1903, recon.
mended limiting the amount which
can be collected under the mill tax law
to SG50.000 The tax commission in
its report. submitted to the legislature
some time after the first message was
presented, said with reference to this
tax, we believe the tax levied by the
state should be reduced from one mill
on each dollar Of assessed valuation 10
definite amount and suggest that Il
be fixed at 100000 The annexed
and foregoing bill appropriates TO this
particular purpose an amount equal to
seven-tenths Of one mill on the dollar
of the taxable property Of the state,
or upon the basis OF the valuation q
1902 there would be collected the sum
Of s1.053.042, or s403,O42 more than
the amount recommended In the mes.
sage, Or s353.of2 more than the
amount recommended by the tax com.
mission.
The bill further provides that Of the
total amount TO be raised under II the
sum Of 100000 shall be taken annu-
ally from the license fees or taxes
paid by the railroads and other public
service corporations, and the balance
