HOUSES.

Some wear in grandeur. princely and
apart,
The imperial purple of the builders
art;
Some lift their highbred foreheads in
the air.
The calm aristocrats of street ann
square;
Some show the wisdom of their DAYS
well spent,
Free from the incubus of discomfort.
Some, half dismantled, cling to humid
ground
In shodden gray of poverty profound;
Some, long dishonored, crouch in
sin and CRIME,
The hopeless haunts of misery and
crime;
Some show matched roofs, or stand
in conscious pride
Above the quiet of the countryside:
Yet in thronged cities, or in solitude.
All are but nests of a vast human
brood.

Amounts Paid by All Railroads OF
Wisconsin for Two Years.

1901. 1902
P Pees mpi ala SSsS Sl'2iSgS % dS
In addition to the license fees the rail
roads of Wisconsin pay large sums for
taxes on property owned by them, but not
exclusively used for railroad purposes
In 1902 the c. n. w. R'y Co. paid
s37, 229.27 in this manner; the c., NJ &
st. z. R'y paid $40, 1850. and other roads
in proportion. In the year 1901 the pay
ment of taxes of this character amounted
to $9S,59S, and it is safe to say that dur
ing 1902 they exceeded 100000. In addi-
ton to these sums large amounts are paid
In taxes by lessees of railroad property, one
lessee alone in Milwaukee paying $1.2SG.7
in 1902.
There are fifty states and territories in
the United States thirty-seven of which
collect taxes on railroad property exclusive
ly in the direct form, called an ad valorem
tax. The states that were an exception to
this general rule in 1901 We're as follows:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylva-
mia. Vermont and Wisconsin.
According to the report of the statistician
of the Interstate commerce commission for
1901. the states depending upon the ad
valorem tax system exclusively. collected
$25, 69S,01S in taxes on 1874, 3I3.7i miles of
railroad, or an average of S191. % per mile.
While the states of Illinois and New
York collect by far the larger portion of
their taxes in this direct form, they are not
included with the ad valorem states be-
cause in Illinois the sums collected from
the Illinois Central are in large part a pay
ment for land grants received from the
state, payment being made in the form of
a tax on the gross earnings, and in New
York the major part of the excise tax paid
by the railroads has been paid under pro
test and suits are now pending for Its re
covery. For this reason New York has not
been classed with the ad valOrem states.
But to be perfectly fair In the presenta
ton of the results of ad valorem taxation
In the United States we shall show what
the results are with these two states in
cluded. With these two states included In
the list of states which derive revenue
from this form of tax, we have an agree

WESTERN CANADA AROUSlNG
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of Wheat At
tracing Thousands.

tracing Thousands.
Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area of grain-producing land lying
north of the 10th parallel, and imme-
diately adjoining the northern boun-
daries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there, but
being unable to fully occupy it, they
have asked the Americans to assist
them in converting the land from It's
virgin state to one that will largely
supplement the grain producing area
of the North American continent. And
the response has been most liberal.
( During the year 1901, upwards of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian government is not now being
directed towards giving information as
to the advanta ges of settlement in
Canada as it is to extending an invita-.
ton to the American to follow those
who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been Undue
ed to take advantage of the offer Ci
100 acres of land free in Canada, AND
have no cause to hesitate in continu
ing the invitation. Many of those in
terested say there are no more free
homesteads to be had in Canada, but
the writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had. and in one of the dis
