LA TOILETTE WINS
JUDGE PRoNoUNcEs WISCONSIN
TAX LAW SOUND
If Decision is Sustained by Supreme
Court Railways VIII be Forced to
Pay the State $1,5o0,ooo in Back
Taxes

Madison, Wis, Nov. 4.-If the de-
cision of Circuit Judge Hastings,
Green Bay, is sustained by the SUI
preme court the railroads of Wis
consin will have to pay to the state
$1,5O0,00 back taxes and in future pay
more than $1,000,000 year.
Judge Hastings holds the ad va
loren tax constitutional and valid.
The decision is considered great vic
tory for the La Toilette administra-
ton, as the collection of these taxes
was one. of the promises made by
the governor in his campaign Hast
year.
State suits for the collection of this
money are now being tried. Suits
were brought by railroad companies
to set aside the assessments of 1903
under the ad valorem law on the
ground that it was unconstitutional,
not conforming with the provisions OF
the constitution for equal taxation.
The railroads had nearly fifty asses
scrs who testified that in the taxing
and valuation of property in that year
they did not take into account fran
chises, etc. The state had members
of the tax commission as expert wit
nesses in the case.
Decision Ends Hard Fight
The battle was one OF the hardest
fought IN the state At the conclusion
OF the arguments the attorneys filed
briefs in the case. and for more than
month Judge Hastings has had the
matter under adyisement

Thousands who were sick-like you,
perhaps-are well today because OF
Liuuozone. Many had doctored long.
Many were discouraged because other
treatments had failed. But they were
treating germ diseases with remedies
which do not kill germs.
We offered TO buy them a bottle OF
Liquozone-iust as we offer you.
They did with it what other remedies
failed to accomplish And those
countless cured ones-scattered

what Liquozone has done.

taxed differently, but all in the same
class must pay the same rate.
One of the points of objection made
by railroads was that the ex-
emption OF interurbans by the new
law created class taxation. Judge
Hastings says that sufficient differ
ence exists between steam railroads
and street and electric interurban
roads to permit of the latter being

excluded from the class in which
steam roads are put.
Judge Hastings gives large powers
to the legislature. He holds that the
legislature may adopt as the rate at
which railroad property is to be taxed
upon it's value, the average rate paid
by the other property in the state
the year previous; that in providing
for such rate the legislature does

not delegate the right to fix~such rate
to the local taxing districts, but must
fix it itself, and that the tax so pro-
vided for, while it goes into the state
treasury and becomes part of the
general fund of the state, is not
levied as the full annual state tax
required to be provided for by the
constitution. Consequently he holds
the assessment is valid.

Socialist Statistics

Reading Mass. November Ito the Editor
of The Independent: That socialist editors, writ
ers and speakers do have socialist statistics"
no sane man can doubt after reading or hearing
them.
For years the socialists asserted, and even
put it into their platforms, that the middle classes
were rapidly disappearing The census OF 1890
proved that they wrong. Then they SAID
that the census Of 1900 would surely prove that
they were right. The census of 1900 again proved
the socialists to be wrong.
The middle class has been increasing even
faster than the population since 1870, and during
the decade from 1890 to 1900 this lass showed
its most ra ID increase. First we were told that
by reason of trust formation the commercial tray
eIers would soon be lost business; the socialists
told us this way back in 1883 and before. LOOK
at the facts The following from U. D. Census
report on occupations demonstrates the absolute
falsty of the socialist claims:
Number of commercial travellers: 1917,
1852: 1880 rs, 15S $780, 5S,691; 1900, 1886
The following table doubly proves how little
the socialist leaders know or else they wlifuliy
misrepresent:

Home TackIe-Makinu,

There is no more interesting and
absorbing occupation during the spare
hours, for the young angler, than the
home manufacture of his tackle, says
J. Harrington Keene in Recreation.
OF course, few boys can hope to be-
come expert rod, reel or fly makers,
nor with the beautiful and compar-
atively cheap products of skilled labor
in the tackle stores is it necessary
that they should. But the mending
of broken or weakened rod joint, the
replacement of missing guide ring,
the whipping of hook on the smell,
and the joining of the gut by the
right knots in a leader, ought to be an
accomplishment within the reach Of
every young fisherman.
In course of his apprenticeship in
these simple processes, the aspirant
for high hookship" should proceed to
the making of a passably good arti-
fetal fly-which properly considered
is an imitation as close as possible of
the fly or insect on which the trout
and other fish feed with readiness
during the spring and summer mon
tbs especially, and even to the middle
of autumn in some localities.

That satin is to assume much impor-
lance in the winter frock scheme
seems beyond doubt. Satin models
are many, both in evening and in Wis
iting gowns, and nothing lovelier is
shown than some Of the satin evening
gowns in princesse or in Empire form.
The Empire lines are being accept
ed enthusiastically in coats and in
street or visiting costumes made with
coats. but whether the Empire gowns
for house and evening wear will find
cordial acceptance remains to be seen.
Some beautiful gowns of the kind have
been worn in Paris during the past
year, and it is said that several of the
great dressmakers intend to push the
Empire evening gown this winter, but
we shall see what we shall see. The
lines need very skilful making and
graceful wearing.
Meanwhile the princesse evening

Divino Bell of 200 Years AGO.

1t was nearly 200 years ago that
Edmund HALEY constructed what is
often referred to as the first diving
bell, although the apparatus must
have been much like that which was
used in the presence of Charles V.
The principle of the diving bell Is,
simple. An inverted jar sunk in the.
water retains air at it's top, and If
there is enough air men may live and
breathe and work there. and keep dry.
DR.. Halley's diving bell was a large.
wooden chamber, open at the bottom
and loaded there with lead to prevent
it from turning in the water. Pieces;
of glass set in the roof furnished light.
Air was supplied by an ingenious.
method; for loaded casks full of air
were sent down, bung downward. Tip
ping the barrel, water would rush into
it and drive out the air to the man In
the bell chamber.
At the depth of thirty-three feet the
air is compressed to half it's former
bulk, and the bell is therefore at the.
depth filed full with water; and as
the depth increases, so do the COM
preston and the pressure.-Technicag

When Deciding on a Costume.

skirt of killed sides and back joined

The princesse gown is always new

front of the bodice draped, it is far
more becoming than heretofore. No
trimming is necessary on either silk
or satin-that is, on the skirt, while a
lace yoke and dainty, cobwebby lace
ruffles on the sleeves are all-sufficient.

REASON FOR CHOOSING PASTOR.
Woman of Experience Had Studied
the Subject.

A West Side congregation was call
ed upon not long ago to choose new
pastor. The last three ministers had
been personae non gratae with most
of the parishioners, and before select
ing another the congregation dld
some pretty tall thinking. There was
one woman of experience whose ad-
vice carried particular weight
Preacher after preacher was invited
to the pulpit for trial sermon, and
all, in the final analysis, were reject
ed by the female arbiter. At last there
came along a possible incumbent who
met with her approval.
1.-The reason | am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, rs because he
has the right kind Of wife for a.
minister She allows him to rant
around all he wants to at home, and
doesn't sass back. | found out long
ago that man who hasn't that priv
ilege at home works off his spleen
elsewhere. A minister vents it on his
congregation. That was why we
couldn't stand the last preacher. This
one will be all right. We won't hear
a peep out of him."
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation actually did
give the man call. According to-
last accounts both he and the parish
toner's were doing well. The wife has
not been heard from.-New York
