mission spent day in a hearing on
the positions of the Menomonee Falls,
Rock county and Chippewa Falls
sugar beet companies for an order

cessive and that service rendered is
not worth what is charged for it.

Madison.-A committee consisting
of Supervisor S. r. Bell, Supervisor of
Assessments Charles Koehne and
ger, of Milwaukee, held conference
with the Wisconsin state tax commits
sion to discuss methods for the tax
alton of real and personal property in
Milwaukee county and providing just
and equitable equalization of the taxes
among the different taxation districts
OF the county. The conference was of
an informal nature. At its conclusion
the Milwaukee men said that they
had gained considerable valuable in
formation from the commission. A
committee consisting of F. j. Carr, of
Hudson, president of the Wisconsin
State Bankers association; J. K lis
ley, of Milwaukee, vice president of
the association, and L. S. Hanks, of
Madison, conferred with the tax com
mission regarding the taxation of
bank stock and real estate. The com
mittee told the commission that bank
ers believed that bank stock in this
state was generally taxed at rela-
lively higher valuation than other
personal property and that they
thought that the value of all real es-
tate owned by banks should be de-
Quoted from bank stock for taxation
purposes, instead of only the value OF
such real property actually used for
banking purposes being deducted. The
commission did not take any action
on the committees suggestions. At
torney Edwin S. Mack, of Milwaukee,
appeared before the commission for
the Merchants Dispatch Transporta-
ton company, of New York city, and
asked for reduction in the valuation
of it's property and interests in this
state. The matter was taken under
consideration.

Rate Decision Held Up.

1t can be said with almost dead GER
tainty that the Wisconsin railroad
rate commission will not give out a
decision on the petitions for a two
cent passenger rate on railroads OPP
Grating in this state until after the
general election on November 6. The
principal reason of the commission in
deferring action is understood to be
the fear that decision at this time
might have considerable influence on
the election. The commission desires
TO avoid all suspicion or semblance
of poiitical bias in It's rulings.

The Best Way Up.

The following paragraphs from an exchange are well worth the earnest attention of those to whom the advice applies q Young men are always being advised to rise in the world" Which may or may not be good advice. It de- pends upon:
 How the young man rises.
 What he rises upon.
 What he rises to.
 What he takes up with him.
 If your idea is to rise in the world by making money and having people look up to you on that account, it is easy enough.
 If you want to go up like man, however, put some foundation besides dollars under you. What will you rise to? To something worth while. Ideals are worth while. And one way to de- fine ideals is to say they are what your mother wants you to be. "Len men go up to ideals they are the light of the world.

Nothing New Under Sun.

Arthur Evans, the Oxford archaeolo- gist, who has made so many interesting discoveries in the so-called palace of Minos, in Crete, has found in a sub- terranean sanctuary certain very an cient, small earthenware statues, repre- senting the goddess and two of her servants. The dress of the figures is said to be highly modern. The goddess, we grieve to say, wears corset, just such corset as contemporary man shyly wonders at in the windows of a department store. The skirt of the robe of the goddess is "in Louis XIV. style" Her jacket is exactly as is worn in the present day" Styles of say, 2000 B. o., styles of 1906. Unless some humorist has "salted" the eXcava- tions, you are forced to hold that much nonsense has been written about the splendid, free, uncramped bodies of the female ancients, by no means ancient females, in their time.
