The railroads and other cornora
tons are doing all they can to beat
La Toilette. Why? He simply asks
that they pay to the state what they
owe to it, and he charges the rail.
road companies with owing the state
large sum of money. He asks that
these great corporations honestly
pay just their share of taxes. No
more. No less. Is there ANYTHING
wrong in that? And still the lies
they tell about La Toilette, piled to.
gether, would make great monu.
ment.
faftleS who up to a year ago were
vigorously opposed to the taxation
or mortgages, and who have ALWAYS
refused to make any sworn state
ment as to their mortgages. are now
bitterly berating the governor be-
cause of the present law. Some of
them say that just as soon as he got
"A chance he kuifed the farmers and
added to their taxes. Most farmers
know that it isn't true; some may be
deceived by these smooth takers.
The fact is, that all the Stalwarts
in the Assembly and Senate voted
in favor of the law as it now stands.
Only three men voted against it in
the Senate and they were Half
breeds. The truth is, and they know
it, that the governor recommend
ed the passage of an entirely
different bill. In his first message
he called the attention of the Leais-
lature to the fact that not over so
of the taxable notes, bonds and
mortgages paid any taxes whatever.
What governor or politician ever
did anything of that kind before?
In his second message he gain
urged the taxation of notes, bonds,
mortgages and other credits, and
strongly urged such legislatiN as
would prevent theinjustice of asV bile
taxing the ownar mortgaged pA,p-
erty. The assembly passed ustsuch
bill. The Senate refused.to concur

4 Suggestion.

Editor Tribune II think Mr.. Snow
made bad break when he cited the
fact that mail Is carried between
Mineral Point aud Dodgeville for one
cent per year, and you caught him
up neatly when you inquired why
railroads do not carry mail at pro
portiouate rates where volume OF
business warrants it, Allow me to
suggest, that if the contractor who
carries the mail between Mineral
Point aud Dodgcyillc owned the
right of way over the road, he proha.
bly, would exact an CNOrhitant com.
pensation for carrying the mail
without regard to what the volume
of business might he, In such case
the government might demand that
the service be performed for "a rea-
sonahle compensation, and the PEG.
pie. including Mr., Snow, would say
it was right. Why is It not also right
to require railroads having right
OF way and other valuable consider
ations granted by the state, to per-
form the service OF public carriers at
such rates as commission represent
ing the state shall find to be reason
able and fairH JUsrUS.

in 1t. In the senate McGillivray in
PRODUCED two measures along the
same lines, which on the recoinmen-
dation Of the committee of which
Whitehead was chairman, were in
definitely postponed, all the stall
warts voting in favor of postpone
ment, The Senate passed bill re-
commended by Whitehead, abso-
lutely exempting from taxation, not
only notes, bonds and mortgages, but
all credits Of every kind and all the
stalwarts in the senate voted in ia

sembly and Senate were about as far

that both houses will agree and do
agree to abide by the report of that
committee.

should pay just as much taxes in
proportion to the value Of their
property as you do, be at the caucus

THERE Is constant howl that tax
es are TO high. Compare transporta
tion charges with taxes. In Wiscon-
sin the people pay in taxes S2000O00C

sum. Does anyone know how much
is paid the railroad companies by
Wisconsin citizens every twelve
months for transportation? Forty
seven million Of dollars, or more
than double what is paid in taxes.

THE great mass OF the common
people believe in principle. 1t has
always been the trick ot the politi-
clan to divert the attention of the
voter away from principle. When
voters generally observe this fact,
and adhere to it, politicians will be
compelled to follow them and their

THE governor il not afraid TO take
the people into his confidence and
tell them whore he stands. II is un-
fortunate tbut thg candidates for
governor whoare being supported by
the railway companies and the bene-
ficiarir- of railway rebates could not
meet Governor LaFollette and dis
guss the questions at issue from the
same platform. Lincoln and Douglas
had the courage of their convictions
and were not afraid To talk TO the
people, bus the public service cor
porations are familiar with only one
argument-the argument of dollars.
There are but two parties IN this
state to.day-the party that b licves
in the supremacy Of the whole people,
ruling through majorlties, and the
party that believes ia the supremacy
of the railway corporations ruling
through a legislative lobby and
through the usp 81 money tilched
from the people through over
charges and the failure 20 pay their
proper share OF the burden OF taxes.

Proposed Freight Rate Bill.
The freight rate bill is u measure
under which Il state commission Will
have the power to give TO every one in
Wisconsin, similarly situated, the
same rates over all the railroads which
operate i'll this state. AS it is now,
some favored shippers get Il special
rate, while the Ireat ma yority pay u
higher rate than is paid by the peo-
pie of Iowa OF llnnois. where there
are state commissions that Tx the
rates Oh an equitable basis and pre-
vent discrimination. The tuct that we
have no railway commission i'll Wis
consin keeps the rates down for few
and up tor al the rest.
The legal right of the state TO reg
ulate the rates is conceded by the rail-
roads, but that does not mean that
the railroads VIII allow the state to
exercise this right until they have eX-
hausted every means i'll their power
to prevent ii 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 De done III WIS
consin in the way OF manipulating
caucuses, OF controlling nominations
and legislative action.
The favored shippers who now re-
ceiye u special. secret rate are OPP
posed to rate commission for the rea-
son that they think they are getting
the best Of some competitors. The gen
eral public, merchants, small manu-
facturers, farmers aud wage earners
ef all grades, are getting decidedly
the worst of it under this system
N
say ana there is absolutely no pro-
lection 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, OF as If some merchant
sold goods to some favored customer
ut IA less price than To the common run
of his customers. But another strong
reason why Wisconsin should now eX-
ercise its right to Fix the rates is be-
cause of the enactment of tine new
railroad tax law, which was advocated
and pushed by Coy. La Toilette and
finally passed by the last legislature.
The New Railroad Tax Law.
Under this law the railroads will be
compelled TO pay their share OF taxes
which they have escaped doing Tor
many years in this state 1t provides
that railroad property shall he as
sessed at fuN value and the same rate
AS all other property. This law was
bitterly fought by the railroads just
as they are NOW lighting the freight
rate bill. II VIII compel the owners Of
the railroads 10 pay greatly in
creased sum INTO the state treasury.

In MemOriam.'

The father OF deceased sends us the
following, with request to publish it
tor the benefit of many friends who live
here:
Hanna Elizabeth Spencer was born
near Camden, Ohio, January 20, 1852.
She was the eldest daughter OF Alexan-
dra and Julia A. McGinnis. When
about four years OF age, she came with
her parents to Indiana, settling in the
bounds of Pleasant Run congregation,
then under the care of the late Professor
S. 6. McNeel. In the year 1870, the
family removed to Kansas, the parents
identifying themselves with the cOngrc-
CATION OF Bethel, which was at that
time vacancy Here in the year 1874,
while the congregation was being sup
piled by Rev. Vim. Oburn. Hannah made
a public profession of her faith in Christ
Jesus, which she ALWAYS adorned by
Cody and consistent life. April 6, 1876,
she was married to Mr.. Frank 7.
Spencer. of Richmond. Kansas. To
them were born five chill iren. One son,
the second, died in infancy, leaving
Ralph Ruth, Florence and Anna TO cher
ish the memory and esteem the wise
council OF loving mother Her death
occurred Tuesday. October 6. 1908. the
result Of an illness of fourteen months
The exact cause of her death is unk nown.
1t had its beginning in muscular rheu
matism, but her death may be said to
be the result of complications concerning
which physicians did not agree.
Mrs. Spencers true worth impressed
itself upon all who knew her. Her use
fulness was proverbal. When there
were trials, or when there were cravings
for sympathy, friend was ALWAYS
found in Hannah Spencer. Even during
her own illness, when her suhferings were
so intense. she was not torgetful of those
whom she fancied were more in need OF
assistance than herself But she pos
sessed more than these high qualities.
Mrs. Spencer was woman of strong
convictions Her good works were but
an evidence of her faith, which wavered
not for moment.
Bethel congregation has sustained n
great loss in her death, for the welfare
of the church of Christ was her great
concern. Some one remarked that the
closing verses of the book of Proverbs
comprises fitting and not over-drawn
eulogy on the life of Hannah Spencer
As we look retrospectively upon her
life of labor and love, as we view her
death, let us emulate her cx-
ample and say with the husband and
the good parents and the
brothers and sisters. But thanks be to
God, who giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. R. X. A.
