Citizen Has a Look at Tax Bills
and Gets Wise.
CANNOT FIND A PURCHASER
No One Wants To Buy a Bill of
Expense-How the Woggle Bug
Was Put on the Land Owner
and Corporations Protected.

"Well, if that is what it means
I want to sell my property" said
real estate man. while discuss
ing the tax bills this morning.
Il can't afford to pay the taxes
that are levied on me now, and
if they are to be made higher why
it will be simply too much for me
to carry
"Who will buy such a bill of
expense ?" he was asked.
THAT s the rub; don't know,
but | do know that | want to get
rid Of it before the assessor comes
along and puts the price of it up
to $4,000 or $4,000. | can't pay
any such taxes as that will mean
And so it goes all over town.
People are slowly waking up to
the fact that the law means just
what it says. Their property is
to be taxed at its actual value
and not at what it would bring
at forced sale. but what its owner
could get for it at voluntary sale.
There isn't a house or lot in
town or country that is assessed
at one-third of its value. They
must all be assessed at their act
ual value and this will be done
by an assessor who has not only
his oath but a bond to impel him
to do his duty.
All of the corporations have es-
capped tax on their production or
their profits as proposed at first,
and the landowner must bear the
brunt.
That scheme to let the oil man
out of pay for his seven barrels
while the farmer will have to pay
for his one barrel obtained at the
same time, is sample Of how the
rich corporation gets out of taxes
and the landowner gets it in the
neck Systematically.
What do the farmers of this
county mean to do about it?
They were in favor Of tax re-
form. and they are still in favor
of tax reform. The plan is a good
one, but the results which have
come at the hands Of the Legis-
lature are far from tax reform
The real intent Of the plan by
which the corporations were to
bear their share of the taxes has
been lost to sight and the only
place in which any considerable
taxation is to be added is through
the increase which is to be placed
on real estate.
Look up the assessment that is
now placed on your property
Then consider what you would be
willing to take for that same
property if you wanted to sell it
You will see that there is a very
considerable difference. and this
will give you an idea of how much
your taxes are going to be raised
after the first of the year.

That is the question; or, IN the
language OF one of our old pioneers,
'der ting is der question" Last week
the county board elected Mr.. John
Knight of this city to the position OF
Supervisor OF Assessors. 1t was a
stalwart movement, aided by demo-
Gratis, in recognition of Mr.. Knights
untiring house-to house campaign
ing as a stalwart. Mr.. Knight ap-
peared before the board and thanked
the members for the honor bestowed
upon him, and during his remarks,
which were quite lengthy, broke
loose from stalwartism long enough
to congratulate the county, through
it's representatives there assembled.
upon its having no state tax for two
years, and upon the fact that, be-
cause OF the forcing of the corpora
lions to pay their just share OF taxes,
our state funds would be increased
to such an extent that it was quite
likely, therefore, that no state tax
would be levied upon the citizens OF
this county for some years to come.

similar way. The following words of
Mr.. Darwin are remarkable: IF
worms are able to judge, either before

must acquire some notion of its gen

Vas II Good Advice?

BY Ex-Gov, Hoard.
Several months ago the Union
earnestly advised our stalwart
friends to cease their efforts in oppo-
sition to Gov. La Toilette and the
reforms he stands for. We gave this
advice earnestly, based on the
ground that they were in the wrong.
1t seemed strange to us that any set
of men would side with the railroads
and other corporations in an issue
| that was so clearly in the interest of
| the people of this state as whole.
There were men good and true
| among the stalwart faction, many of
them farmers, who it seemed to Us
should not allow themselves to be
placed In such an uupatriotic and
factious position.
They had allowed themselves to
be carried away from their political
duty by an insensate wave OF preju-
dice. They allowed their attach
meut for certain political leaders to
blind them to the great central prop
osition that every man should re-
member, and that is, that when an
issue comes up between the people
aud certain selfish corporations it is
always best to side with the people.
The corporations had entrenched
rhau nvnad tho
Milwaukee Sentinel, for they had
bought and paid for it. The readers
of that paper should not have been
so easily misled on that account.
They owned, to the shame of Wis
consin journalism, be it said, 200 of
the daily and weekly papers of the
state, for they had bought and paid
for them.
They owned II lot of the county
politicians of both parties, and their
money was secretly being paid out
to keep up this warfare.
They owned IA great number of the
ltdhlliS VI NA' ShaNNp ~
virtue of dishonest, illegal and un-
fair rebates constantly paid to them.
They owned certain Legislators and
they will own more ii money will
buy them. All these things were
plain and patent to the wayfaring
man.
They had even gone to the desper-
ate length of organizing bolt from
| the state convention and certain
| men in Jefferson county had worked
to consummate that unworthy con-
spiracy.
They controlled both of the United
| States Senators and several of the
congressman.
They had over 5000 postmasters,
revenue collectors and other federal
officers in the state on whom they
depended more or less for assistance
in this great conspiracy
They had all the political prestige
of the national Republican COM
mittee.
They entered upon campaign of
abuse, nothing but abuse, against the
governor, such as ought To make any
man ashamed OF his state. To all
this LaFollette replied not word
but steadily preached the gospel OF
reform,
Il was wise in him and wonder
Fits that he held himself so wisely
and temporarily amid the turmoil OF
such conflict.
There is profound lesson in all
this matter
1t is always best to stand for the
people and by the people.
