consin legislature to put them up
in the rate where they belong.
The argument that some one else
is not paying their full proper
ton of taxes is no reason why
the railroads should escape.
There should be an earnestness
to equalize all forms of taxation,
a nd it is just as well to begin
with the railroads, and then to
gradually extend the changes so
that the system can be made
something like complete. Abso-
lutte equality in taxation is an i'm
possibility, but well know inc
qualities should be rectified, and
the greatest illustration of this is
in railroad taxation.
But there is little that is going
to be gained in simply raising
the rate of taxation of railroads,
even if it is done equitably, un-
less at the same time there is
something done to decrease the
growing budget of expenses in
state government. The LaFol
lette administration. has been
one of the most expensive in the
history of the state. If half a
million dollars a year more is
spent, and that amount is taken
out of the railroads doing bust
ness within the state, that is not
going to decrease the amount
of taxes the small taxpayer will
have to pay. This tax matter
should be gone at logically, and
that manner would be the cutting
down of needless expenditures,
and at the same time bringing
railroads and all classes of pro-
perty up to it's proper assessable
value,-it matters not whether
this be by the gross earnings or
ad valOreum Observation-Disclosures
is found by investigation to be
the best should be chosen.
The state Of Wisconsin has
created an expensive state tax
commission, and in every county
a supervisor of assessors is
working, or at least drawing pay
for nearly every day in the year.
This has been going on for long
time. Now if the present legis-
lature cannot profit by the work
of these officials they ought to
discharge them. Money is being
spent lavishly in the maintain
ence of the state institu tions-
throughout the state, while the
administration at Madison has
not yet discovered the meaning
of the word economy. If there
is to be any genuine benefit to be
derived by the taxpayers of the
state from the raising of the
assessments of railroads there
must at the same time be a big
cutting down in the expense &C
count. Taking the Capitol for
an illustration; there is hardly a
department, including the Gov
errors Office, but what is filed
wi tn lettering clerks drawing fat
salaries. The state institutions
are nearly all run without re-
gard to expense. There are
enough game wardens to cover
Gne UnlCeQ States, ana factory
inspectors who do not average
thirty days actual work in a year.
The University is extravag antly
managed, and it is not surpris-
ing that the people are grooming
under heavy taxation, and are
crying for a change that will i'm
prove conditions.
Tax reform and economy must
go hand in hand if there IS to be
any genuine benefit to the tax
payers of the state. Let US have
both.

RAILROAD TAXATION.

ing, in Milwaukee, and which is
endeavoring to show the rail.
roads side of the controversy in
the matter of proposed legisla-
ton. The bulletins are men,
bered, and the fourth of the SER
les reached us during the week.
The railroads have certainly ia
ken the right step, although
they have been very slow about
it, in laying their case before the
people. For great many years
the people of the state of Wiscon-
sin have been hearing the rail
roads upbraided for their at
tempts at escaping taxation, and
to all this talk there has been no
defence offered by the compan
les. II they have had any case to
argue they have brought it before
the legislature, and that there
must have been some force to
their arguments is evidenced by
the fact that they have kept taxa
ton down pretty we'll Thatthey
have succeeded in doing this does
notindicate, as some people would
try to make believe, that the
legislatures have been corrupt
ly secured to favor the railroads
in matters of taxes. The TIMES
has sufficient faith IN our
form of government to believe
that legislative bodies usually do
what they believe to be right.
The railroads are bending all
their efforts at the present time
to keep in force the gross earn
ings system of taxation, and
claim and attempt to show that
the proposed ad valoreum sys-
tenn would bring less
money into the state than the
present system. During the
past year the railroads of Wis
consin paid taxes amounting to
S252.05 per mile into the treas
ury, while it is claimed by the
railroad companies that in the
states working under the ad va
loreum system the amount paid
per mile averages S191.25. The
railroads are vigorous in their
claims that they are assessed
fully as high as other class es of
property, asserting that four
percent on their gross income
for taxes is equal if not greater
than most of the citizens of Wis
consin are paying The rail
roads are certainly making a
good argument, and if they had
commenced many years ago the
state would perhaps be more
familiar with their side of the
controversy than they are now.
The people do not want to tax
any one unjustly, but they do de
mand that the large corporations
pay their proportionate share of
taxes. Tie railroads have for
many years been held up as the
principal tax dodgers The case
against them has been thorough |
ly discussed before the people, |
and there is no need in going in
to the details of it. The accused |
corporations are just now, after
all these years, emerging from
their hard shells TO present their
side of the case. It is very
doubtful if they can convince the
people of the state that they are
paying their just proportion Of
the taxes, but their dedence
may bring to light many impor-
tant arguments as to the best
manner of assess ments. The
fact that they are fighting the
ad voloreum basis of taxation on
the merits of the question will
bring out full aud valuable dis
cussion. The people believe that
the railroad companies are not
paying their just proportion of
taxes, and are looking to the Wis +

CROPS OF SMALL GRAIN.

The forest trees speak of soil well
adapted to small grains. The char
acter of the soil was a guaranty of
the same, and SO the settlers have
found it to be. Winter rye can be
depended upon any season when it
has been properly sown, either for
pasture or for grain. Wheat will
grow very well also, but there Isl
not much necessity for growing it in
a country pre-eminently adapted to

Modern American democracy has
even forgotten the original scope and
intent of that great democratic tul-
mination known as the Monroe
Doctrine-which was conceived by
no less parsonage than Thomas
Jefferson. and by him suggested to
President Monroe, who promul-
gated it. And every time the Am
erican government comes in con-
tact with one of the South Ameri-
can governments in any way that
holds that government to Its res
possibilities and duties as an Am
eriean republic, at once the cry Is
set up by the American democracy
that the United States is violating
its duty in seeking to do in South
America what it would not permit
European powers to do. They
don't appear to know that was the
original scope and intent of the
Monroe Doctrine-to keep Europ-
can governments out and off from
the American continent, until such
time as we are ourselves ready to
absorb the territory included. That
is all there is to it.
Jefferson himself is on record as
having written, at the time OF the
adoption of the Monroe Doctrine,
or thereabout:
"Our confederacy must be viewed
as a nest from which all America
both North and South, is to be
peopled."
What does that mean but that
Europe was to keep off from the
Western Hemisphere until the
American people wanted it? Since
that time the American people
have been getting it piecemeal, and
in due season they will have it all
