WEALTH TAX NETS MILLIONS.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision
Proves Far Reaching.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision
Proves Far Reaching.
Well-known Milwaukee lawyers deem
the decision of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court which upheld the inheritance tax
law as one of the most far-reaching that
has been given in the United States. They
declare the decision shows the way open
for the adoption of President Roosevelt's
suggestion that fortunes swollen beyond
nll healthy limits be taxed The State
of Wisconsin will recover about 81, 500,-
DOC in back Inheritance taxes under the
decision, besides a similar amount from
the railroads on ad valorem tax. An
other important decision established the
right of the State to fix rates to be
charged by public service corporations in
the State. The Madison Gas and Elec-
trio Company, it was decided, did not
have to produce its books so that the city
might determine the reasonabeness of the
company's charges. The cart then clear
~ stated that it is within the province Of
the State to determine the maximum
rates. In its opinion the Supreme Court
upholds the absolute constitutionality Of
the inheritance tax law. The court adj
hlCS Cne NATURAL rlSnI OF inheritance anu
the right to will property. 1t holds, how
ever, that the constitution does not limit
the Legislatures power Of taxation to
property alone. 1t was not intended to
prohibit the taxing of mortgages and oc-
equations. The constitutional require
ment of uniform taxation it is main
tanned by the court-in case it applies
at all to excise taxation-means only the
general equality" of the constitution. In
other words, there must be no unjust dis
elimination The progressive tax upon in
heritance, it is pointed out, is similar to
the progressive tax, which as early as
1876 the Legislature imposed upon rail
road earnings

jap Farmers Know no Window Glass

Some of the institutions on Japanese
railways are peculiar to that coun-
try. One of these is smear of paint
across the windows of third-class car
riages This is made necessary be-
cause thousands of native travellers
in Japan, accustomed to only paper
walls for letting in light
have no knowledge of glass.
Its utter transparency leads
them to believe that the window is
simply a hole in the side of the car.
With painful results many native pas
sengers have stupidity attempted to
stick their heads through the glass.
For long time ambulances from re-
ceiving hospitals had to meet nearly
every train arriving in Japanese
cities and hence the streak of paint
is warning to the Oriental farmer
from the back country that there is
something more than atmosphere in
the window.

THE PREACHER.

clay UP in heaven" the preacher
cried,
''Your treasures 'gainst your coming
to abide"
Now have nothing here to lay away,
But live my life with poverty and
pride.
But I may lay away all the bright
things
That here long for, but which all
take wings
The riches l have nnt. the house,
the lands,
And I will lay away the bird that
sings,
The cloud that shades the ever-burn-
ing sun,
The rest that will take when toll
is done,
The mountain peaks I've longed TO
see,
The rivers that adown the mountains
run.
The restless ocean and the cool soft
wind
These I could never leave at last be-
hind;
I'VE always Ionged for them through
life, but still
Have only had them safe within my
mind.
And I would lay away so tenderly
The fr4end l wished one day to see,-
The love that missed me all these
lonely years,
Waiting amid my treasures there for
me.

E. B. Gage Said to be Behind the Move Plans For the Future are
 Not Fully Matured

The articles of incorporation of the Pan-American Ostrich company were filed May 30 in the office of the county recorder of Maricopa county. The in corporators are II. B. Wilkinson, VIC. Hornberger, J. w. Chrenshaw and F. H. Ensign and the capital stock is $6OO, ,OOO.

 The company is organized for the purpose of buying the ostrich farm west of Phoenix owned by Mrs. Peirsor and managed by Edwin Barbour, the well known playwright.
 The farm will be under the manage ment of H. J. McClung, of the Phoenix National Bank, and will be superintend ed by man named Ream who is famil. far with the handling of the giant birds.
