Count Won Tattenbach, the junior

pressed the view that the settlement

CONCLUSION.

There are many other problems,
both financial and corporate in Wis
consin, Economic and legal wrongs
requiring legislative attention are
numerous. This is certain to be true
in any rapidly developing state and
one SO rich in resources and possibll-
tiles. Yet this state occupies the
formost position In the nation in pro-
gressive legislation. Many of the
most beneficent laws upon our statute
books have been passed by republican
legislatures. 1t is matter of party
pride and source of party strength.
The sincerity of this party In the face
of recent Wisconsin history, cannot be
questioned. Charged with the duty
of completing work but only begun,
the republican party Is pledged to "a
continuation along the lines of reform
SO successfully accomplished Its
platform, unanimously adopted is
broad enough and thorough enough to
retain the confidence of the people and
with their endorsement, Wisconsin
may be counted upon to continue it's
course as the leader in state legisla-
ton.

is almost impossible to recover a judg
ment against the railroads when it is
recognized that of all the locomotive
engineers who die, one third are kill
ed while in the performance of their
| duty, and that nearly the same pro-
portion is true as to tiremen and other
trainmen, the Importance of this law
to railroad employees is apparent. A
law is needed which provides that even
If the injured employee was negli-
gent, if the railway company was al
so negligent or the negligence of
another employee contributed to the
injury, the question shall be submit
ted to the jury as which party was
the most negligent. the doctrine of
comparative negligence must be legal
ly enacted. The republican party is
pledged in its platform to the pas
sage of such law.
THE INCOME TAX.
The inequalities and injustice ex-
listing in our state fiscal system de-
mands that an income tax be adopted.
The last legislature adopted such a
constitutional amendment With the
development of corporate wealth and
constantly decreasing Importance of
land as basis of taxation, the bur
den of taxation has been shifted more
and more upon the general property
of the state while the corporate wealth
and personal property generally, has
largely evaded its share CT taxes. In
order to eQualize these burdens to the
end that all forms of wealth shall con-
tribute justly to the support of the
government, an income tax is nee
essity. Such a tax conforms most
nearly to all the canons of taxation;
it is unsurpassed as leveller of the
public burdens and possesses in the
greatest measure the desirable feat
ure of elasticity. 1t most nearly sat
isles the conception of an ideal tax.
Such tax is endorsed by the most
eminent economists of this country
and abroad; it is recommended by the
business world, and is pronounced as
most successful by the finance depart
ment of all countries and states where
it is in USE With the tax upon gen
eral property reaching all form of
tangible wealth, the income and IN
heritance taxes is reaching intangible
wealth and license fees and advalorem
taxes upon corporations, the nearest
approach to well-balanced, state
fiscal system is realized
