MORMON COLONY FOR ALBERTA

We expect to take in 100 or more
families. said +. J. WyIer, one of
the party, land if conditions warrant,
will increase these to 200. Although
there is plenty of territory still left in
the United States upon which we
could settle. the inducements offered
in Canada for homeseekers are excel
lent.
I'VE have several large colonies in

one of Governor La Follettes con-
tentions is that Wisconsin should have
a state commission to fix and regulate
freight and passenger rates of rail-
roads That is one of the issues in the
present campaign. 1t is useless to in
crease the taxes of railroads, the gov
ernor declares. without having the
power to prevent the roads from rails
jng their transportation rates SO as to
make the shippers pay increased taxes.
But the state board of assessment has
worked hard and long on the assess
valuations just announced are equitable
as compared with those of the remain
der Of the taxable property of the state,
not taking into account. of course the
contention of the governor that under
the laws as they now stand the roads
have a loophole through which to evade
the increased burden of taxation if
they SO desire.
The state board of assessment an
nounces that it will hold daily ses-
sions from Aug. %, to Sept 81, to hear
complaints or arguments of such COM
panies as feel that their property has
been valued too high.
This preliminary assessment in
creases the taxes of the Milwaukee
road more than those of any other
company in the state. the increase be-
ing 1929, 1868. Other increases are:
Chicago & Northwestern. 212.05S.55;
Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis & Oma-

964.26; 500 line. $2S.116.64: Duluth, Su-
perior & Western Terminal, $17,247.75:
Illinois Central, $13,671.11; Chicago
Burlington & Quincy. So, 546.S0; North
ern Pacific, S11.656.16 on the whole
the smaller roads are hit harder than
the larger ones, though of course, the
aggregate increase in their taxes is not
so great. or instance tne taxes OF the
Lake Superior Terminal & Transfer
company. are increased from $S165 to
$5.003.7S. an increase of $4,922.13. This
increase, however, is said to be due
largely to the increased earning capa-
city of the road, one of the things ia
ken into consideration by the state
board in making the assessment.
