plains. ''it would be very simple mat
ter for the railroads to make up for
this increase in taxes if the power to
fix rates were left in their hands-as
it is now. They would simply raise
the rates a little here and there for
the great majority OF the people. and
thus take out of Wisconsin more than

in by reason of paying their share OF
the taxes
1t was 10 thwart them in this plan
that Gov. La Toilette proposed the
freight rate law. Under this measure
the state would regulate the rates and
prevent the railroads from carrying
out their plan. That the law is feas-
ible. and is no experiment. is proven
by the fact that other states have such
a law in successful operation. Under
the law as proposed by La Toilette, a
state commission, the first 10 be ap-
pointed by the governor, and subse-
quent commissions TO be elected by
the people. will have power TO give
every one in Wisconsin. similarly sit
uated. the same rates over all the rail
roads which operate in that state. and
which are now TOO high. Under the
present system favored shippers get
special rates lower than the mass of
shippers. and the majority of them pay
higher rates than are paid in Iowa and
Illinois To quote the committee
again. the legal right of the state TO
regulate the rates is conceded by the
railroads, but that does not mean that
the railroads will allow the state to
exercise this right until they have eX-
hausred every means in their power
to prevent it from doing so. The men
who own the big railroads which Op-
crate in Wisconsin. live in the east
and they are not responsible, under the
law. for what may he done in WiscOn-
sin in the way of manipulating eau
cuses or controlling nominations and
legislative action.
The favored shippers who now re-
ceive special secret rate are opposed
to a rate commission for the reason
that they think they are getting the
best of some competitors. The general
public, merchants. small manufacture
ers. farmers and wage earners of all
grades are getting decidedly the worst
of it under this system. where the rail
roads have the whole say and there
is absolutely no protection by the
state. 1t is very much as if the United
States government sold postage
stamps to some persons for half price
while it charged full price to others"

New York Press: In the extremely
cold climate of northern Russia all
classes of people wear linen under
clothes instead of wOOlens, and such
malady as a cold is unknown. The Rus
slams of these attitudes do not under
stand the meaning of rheumatism,
bronchitis. catarrh or consumption.
Japan is a country essentially humid
and rainy. There are from $50 TO 200
rainy days in the year The changes
of temperature are sudden. The win
ter is cold The houses are exposed
10 every wind. The dresses of the ma
tives leaves the chest naked. winte-'
and summer. and the legs uncovered.
The ordinary folks do not wear hats.
The country people pass half of their
lives with their legs in the water of
the rice fields. This war has shown
that the Japanese are the h1rdies' ne

nine ont of ten American women. she
turned into the Japanese section of

a selection. There is a popular notion
that the Japs are the only ones who
make souvenirs worth carrying home.
and Judging from the displays to be
seen in the Japanese pavilions and

Two Issues in wisconsin.

Two of the issues demanding the
consideration of voters of Wisconsin
are the freight rate" law and the pri-
mary election law. The latter has been
eXpounded in detail in these columns
and arguments advanced to prove that
the badger state electorate should
give il their unanimous approval.
The proposed freight rate law Is
born of necessity. The new railroad
tax law. which was advocated and
pushed by Gov La Toilette. and final
" passed by the last legislature. re-
quires the railroads TO pay their just
share of taxes. an obligation they have
heretofore escaped. This law taxes
railroad property at its full value and
the SAN, rate as all other property.
The tax commission of Wisconsin es-
Inmates that this law will increase the
taxes of railroads about one million
dollars q year. While this is a large
sum, it is only their just share. and
proportionate with what the farmers
of the state must pay.
