The Primary Law With a Referendum

Evening Wisconsin,
"Where there's will there's n way"
is an old proverb which the MEM
bers of the legislature should not
forget. If the patriotic members Of
the Wisconsin Legislature stand to.
gether there is plenty of time to pass
primary election bill before the adj
journment. All that is wanting ia an
Pass a fair ana complete primary
bill, with a referendum to the people
in April next, and that will satisfy
the masses. Let the people be the
judges Of what they want on the
problem of primary nominations. If
they adopt primary bin, everybody
will submit; as the people in our re-
public must be the final arhiters on
every doubtful question. so we say,
good citizens, good members of the
Legislature, pass a primary bill with
referendum, and that referendum
will get rid of the main difficulties
in the present situation, SO work on,
work ever, until the primary bill
passes the Legislature of Wisconsin.
All admit il is a radical and reyo-
lutionary measure; and therefore
the pe ople should consider and de-
eide before primary bill becomes
the law of the land.

Now it is the automobile disease.
Drs. Hatchet. Souplet and Berillon in
discussing the new disease before the
Paris society of hypnotism and psy-
chology declared that the swiftness
with which the machines are sent
whirliug over the roads creates a
mental disturbance which the form
er compares to drunkenness and that
the eXcitation resembles that of al
coholism in demanding more excite
ment. DR.. Berillon says the disease
once established is incurable, and
that it will bring in its train mental
conditions that no other form of dis
sipation has produced.

Evening Wisconsin,
When the national government, to
secure means for carrying on the war
with Spain, enacted law providing
for stamp taxes on kilograms and eX-
press packages, the telegraph and ex-
press companies shifted the burden to
the people, by making all trans
hitting a dispatch OF sending II pack
age by express pay for the stamp. 1t
is natural assumption that as cor
porations are money making institu-
tions, the railway corporations doing
business in Wisconsin will be as
keen to shift the burden OF an ad va
loren tax upon their property as the
telegraph and express corporations
were to shift the burden Of the stamp
tax. That is why the rate bill now
pending in the Legislature is regard
ed as necessary companion meas.
ure to the ad valorem tax bill which
has been passed by both houses. I'm
less the state exercises its power to
regulate railway rates, it is argued,
the railways will raise their rates to
at least the amount to which their
taxes are raised under system the
theory of which is that the property
Of railway companies should be taxed
upon the same principle upon which
other property is taxed. In the batter
case, the general pr tic in Wisconsin
would have to pay notonly their own
taxes, but portion of the taxes OF
the railways as well.
The proposition causes friction,
but any attempt to readjust and
equalize taxes is certain to be accom-
panied by friction, for human nature
Is so constituted that nearly every
mans tax bill looks large to him. no
matter how small it may actually be
in comparison with the taxes that
nearly every man wrlggles and twists
to keep his taxes down or to shit
them by adding their amount to his
charges for rent or service.
Railways are necessary to Wiscon.
sin, and Wisconsin, can not afford to
treat them unjusily. On the other
hand, railways ought, like other
property, 10 he made to bear their
fair share of the expense of Carrying
on the government of the state. The
protection which government affords
is not less ess, initial for railway prop
erty than for property o. other kinds.
Wisely administrated, the system
of nd valorem taxation for railway
property should produce results more
equitable to all the interests con-
cerned than the present license fee
system; for when the railways are
taxed with reference to the amount
of the budget, their great influence
will presumably be added to that of
the general X-paying public in the
effort to prevent unnecessary and
wasteful expenditures by the state.
Wisconsin has reached within the
past few years a scale of eXtravagant
expenditure by the state govern
ment which is appalling. 1t must be
curtailed, or the prosperity of the
state will be seriously impaired.

THE suhstition of an al valorem
system Of taxation for the present
system by which the railways con-
tribute in Lieu of taxes fixed per-
ceutage of their gross receips, tends
to put the railways INTO the same
class with other taxpayers, and from
the standpoint OF those desiring an
economical administration of the
government of the state that may
turn out TO be "A good thing. Under
the percentage system, it has been n
matter Of no consequence to the rail-
way corporations whether tho states
expenditures were light or heavy,
as the contribution from the rail-
roads to the state treasury would be

ad valorem system the railway cor
poratious will have the same reason

keeping an eye upon the budget, and
for decrying the too lavish outlay of

OF to |. The boys acknowledge a
good square deal from the Monroe

interested in school work. On Thurs
day the former Superintendent of
Schools of Lafayette county, Prof.
Nattrass, gave Il short talk to the
students. He spoke of the Importance
of regularity of attendance in the

mented US on our singing and school
work in general.
Rev. Davis OF Lawrence. University
spoke to the High school department
on Monday moruing in part as fol-
lows:
g The days come and go very
rapidly. Young people you live in II
great century and among great race
OF men. You must not expect some
thing to come to you, YOU must reach
out and take things if you want them;
Your friends, the teachers here, are
wiser than you, but they cannot inn
part their learning to you. If you
come to US with high purposes and
character you will be successful: all
good things will come to you. Keep
your eyes open; there is beauty all
around you and wisdom. Are you
open TO these things, are you ready to
receive. Now young people | trust
that you may see clearly the good
and assimilate truth that these
people bring you. BE truth seekers
and champions as long as God gives
yod light and in His name may you be
blessed. "
