j. J. Hill Establishes Library.

President James ]. Hill, the we'll
known railway magnate has just
presented the University of Wiscon-
sin with the sum of $4,000 with
which to secure a special library of
books relating to railway transporta-
ton. This gift of Mr.. Hill is the
result of the interest which he is
taking in the work of Professor
Balthasar H. Meyer, of the depart
ment of economics of the University,
who was recently appointed editor
of the history of transportation that
is to form part of the Economic
History of the United States, the
compilation and publication of which
has been undertaken by the Car
negie Institution at Washington.
Before sailing to Europe recently,
where he is collecting material for a
comparative study of European and
American railroads, Prof. Meyer
had occasion to interview Mr.. Hill,
and the latter was so depressed by
the importance of the work which
Prof Meyer is undertaking, that he
placed at his disposal this $4,000
with which to begin the collection
of books, pamphlets, and other ma
terial that will be necessary for the
preparation of this monumental
work. The collection will be placed
in the University library, and it has
been suggested that it be known as
the "James ]. Hill Railway Library
although this and other details in
regard to the disposition of the funds
have not been settled, owing to the
fact that Prof. Meyer is still in
Europe. The preparation of this i'm
portant History of Transportation is
expected will extend over period Of
FIVE years, and the Carnegie Institu-
ton has made grant of $4,000 for
the purpose of carrying on the work.
Professor Meyer has been appoint.
ed one of the commissioners under
the new railway rate law.

That mortgage tax bill that was

which finally got through the as
sembly by a small majority, but
was killed in the senate, was op-
posed by the Tax Commission. The
Commission had urged that credits
be exempt from taxation. This tax
commission was created to investi-
gate the subject of taxation and to
recommend Legislation along this
line. A lot of reformers who never
studied the subject seem to think
they know more about it from .
superficial guess than experts who
have made study of the question

The county of Gates, which about
four years ago was set off from
Chippewa county, was by the last
Legislature renamed Rusk, in honor
of Gen. Jerry Rusk. The county
was named Gates by the legislature
upon request Of Mr.. Gates who
promised, if the county received his
name, to give $4,000 towards the
construction of county buildings.
Mr.. Gates failed to put up the
money, hence the occasion for the
new name for the county.
