Madison, Wis, Oct. 23.- All the
state taxes, with the exception OF the
school tax, which was reduced to half
of one mill, were remitted today by the
state board of assessors. There is al
ready so much money in the state treas.
urv that none of the officials know
what to do with it.
With the prospect of more than 81.
100000 coming in from this years
taxes, State Treasurer Kempf threw up
bis hands in despair and said there was
no way to spend it. Accordingly Gov
ernor Davidson, Secretary OF State
Honser and Mr.. Kempf met today and
decided to remit the taxes.
The railroads are footing the bills.
That, in the main, is the reason for the
action today, the first time such a
sweeping move has been made in the
history of the state. 1t is one OF the
results of Senator LaFollette's long
fight when he was in the governor
chair, Under the new ad valorem law
the roads pay about 2,6O0,O 600 annu.

The amount of taxes remitted ls 81

amount from the taxpayers, the admin

fixed expenditures. The school tax
