WOULD ABOLISH LICENSE TAX

A Madison dispatch of late date says
the legislature which will convene
this winter viii have presented it to
some Of the most important reports
which have ever coma before a Wis
consin legislsse,..c. "a addition to the
message from the executive department.
which will be ia regard to the state at
large and which viii cover many i'm
portant points and recommendations
there will be many important reports
from various departments. Chief among
these will be Of coarse the report of the
tax commission. This report will cover
the work which that department has
accomplished the past two years in the
substitution Of the ad valorem for the
license fee form Of taxation for steam
railway companies. In connection with
this it Is strongly rumcred here that the
report Of the tax commission will ask
the abolition Of the license fee system
for the taxat,2n Of all property owned
by quasi-public corporations and viii
recommend the subs titution in its stead
OF the ad valorem system.
The corporations affected by this
clsnge would be the street railway
electric light, telephone and insurance
companies which now are taxed on their
gross earnings The tax commission
will, however give strong reasons why
change should be msds in regard to
auot these corporations to thes I'D valorem
system and will say its experience in the
case of the railway companies has con
WINGED the commission that the ad val
orem system should be adopted in all If
these cases.

VERY srALWARr.

The stalwart leaders, who were 20
strenuously opposed to the primary cleo
tion proposition, are demanding that
special primary election be held, under
the law just adopted By the people, for
the domination Of a candidate for United
States senator. 1t seems that they have
some hopes that, by themselves having
but one candidate, Senator Quarles, and
the progressive element of the republi-
can party having several candidates,
they might win out, but they find them
selves mistaken in this. Under such
circumstances we think they would find
that the real republicans would get to-
gether all right and agree on one candi-
date
It was clearly the intention of the
makers Of the new law that the nomi-
n stion of candidate for U. S senator
under it Should be made in September,
at the same time that nominations are
to be made for ether party candidates,
whatever may be any court ruling as to
the intent Of the law, and it surely was
the intent Of the stalwart senate, who
refused pass &c to the new law except
for submission to the people, should not
be held until Saptemt IT 1906 Now they
are jasttying to make trouble for the
administration
To hold a primary election now for
the nomination of a candidate for Z. S.
senator would be a good deal like max.
ing the nomination after the election
Before the election there was no thought
of any primary. Ii was simply a ques-
ton Of who could carry the election,
and the stalEarts made a big fight to
get the legislature for Qaar1es, and were
skinned to irish, just as they would
be in primary They were licked and
are not willing to accept the licking with
good grace, They want chance to try

Madison State The primary election
scheme seems to be a thorn in the flesh Of
certain people and newspapers in several
other states besides Wisconsin. 1t may
never be worked out to the best interests
Of the people, but there is one thing most
noticeable and that is whenever the pri-
mary election question is mp to an issue
the newspapers that ara owned by the
trusts and run for the trusts are the
bitter enemies Of primary elections
There must be something about the pri
mary election plan that will make it
more difficult for the trusts to control
elections and thereby run the public
service for the benefit Of the trusts or
this hostility would not be so market
in so many different states.
