tax for educational uses toy when on
the new full assessment third more
money Is taken from the tax payers
than needed will be corrected, and the
plan proposed as a new system is said
to be novel and effective
We all live and learn and the bill
exempting credits from taxation finds
much less opposition than it would
have done two years ago when Gov.
LaFollette's message dealt so streni-
ously with that subject. The tax COM
missions ringing declaration that cred
its are not only intangible, difficult
objects of taxation, but not ready
property In taxable sense has
done much to ebate excitement ON that
subject. 1t Is understood the COVER
nor himself prefers to war about the
other bigger topics now before the
legislature. The bill specifically notes
that existing laws shall continue e
force ''for the taxation of shares of
stock of banks capital or private bank
ers and taxation of trust companies
and all other corporations or organiza-
tons representing money capital"
The agitation for compulsory educa-
ton and to prevent child labor is
warming and hearings have been held.
It Is said there is considerable oppo-
sition from Milwaukee manufacturers.
The object is to prevent all employed
work In school time by children I'M
der IA years. The loop-holes in the
present laws make 1t impossible to
correct the evils for when parent joins
with employer in deception, how can
child labor be prevented? Children
between IA and16 IL they wish to work
must be approved by representatives
of the state. The police and others are
made .ruant officers and the effort will
be to ret into school and keep there
all Wisconsin children under is. or GER
lainly under IA. The educators say
Wisconsin makes a bad showing in
this line. If every man and woman
among us gets good schooling ii
will lessen crime. Not every uneduca-
ted child becomes a criminal ut the
great mass of criminals had Il mini
mum of schooling The physical
status of the next generation also will
be bettered il kept out of factories,
etc. in the formative years. II is said
10000 children under school age are
employed In factories.

wnoIIy because rney may mean In
