WlsC0NSIN'S RICHEST
MAN FOR INCOME TAX
isaac Stephenson Says Poor Bear More

Stephenson, reputed to be the wealth

man bears moro than his share of the
tax burden, while the rich Dear less,

The workingnan does not pay a
large amount of tax upon his home

pays a higher percentage of tax on it's
real value h the rich man does on
his many forms of property.
Take the case of Marshall Field, Of
Chicago. In that city he paid taxes
On less than 10000 but now that his
estate is in court it appears tGat his
property in that city is worth five or
six times more than hat.
There is no doubt in my mind that
a tax on all Incomes e 81 900 is the
right thing"
Mr.. Stephenson was until recently L
political ally OF United States Senator
LaI'ollette. and aided him in the fight
on Senator Spooner. 1t was said that
Lai'ollette planned to elect Stephenson
to the United States senate in case his
own contest failed.

RUNAWAY CAR

Altoona, Pa. July "a runaway

GOVERNMENT MIGHT

Yale Professor Points Out Ad.
vantages in National De-
partment Of Health.
FOR SWINE AND PLANTS
Yet Humanity is Allowed to Die ano
Suffer by the Million With No
Helping Hand Lifted by
Government.

1taca, y. y. July 6-Much favor
able has been made 10y mem-
bers of the American Association for
the Advancement OF Science upon the
paper read by Professor j. pcase Nor
ton OF Yale. upon the ".AdNisability of
Il National Department of Health" in
which he said:
There are q u great wastes today
the more ~lanlentable because they are
unnecessary. They are p~reventable
death. p~revcntable sickness, ~prcventable
conditions of low physical and mental
efficiency and preventable ignorance.
The facts are cold and bare. one
,nillion five hundred thousand persons
must die in the United States during
the next six months. Equivalent to
800, 900 persons Will be constantly sick.
over 5000, 600 homes, consisting of %
900. 900 persons. will be made more or
less wretched by mortality and NOR
pidity.
We look with horror on the black
plague of the middle ages. The black
plague was u passing cloud compared
with the white waste visitation. OF
the people living today, over S.o00.o 900
must die of tuberculosis. and not n
hand is raised by the federal govern
ment to help them.
Hall Could Be Saved.
Eight millions must die of pneu-
monia, and the entire event Is accepted
with as resigned a mien us the Hin
DOCS show, who. in the midst OF inde-
scribable filth, await the day Of the
cholera. More thar 5000, 900 of infants
.n,J,,. - ,-A,, 80. Af - or. -, ms 1,,r
ing the next census period. Yet it is
probable hat these numbers could ba
cut in two.
The national government expends
annually $1,000, 900 on plant health and
animal health through the department
of agriculture. but not one cent is eX-
pended directly ON the health of in
fants. save through the splendid work
of Drs. Wiley, Atwatcr, Benedict, etc.
Thousands have been expended in
stamping out cholera among swine. but
not one cent has been expended foi
eradicating pneumonia among human
beings.
The logic that justihes an annual
appropriation of S. 0o. 900 for a life
saving service against the accidents al
sea should justify protection against
accidents of disease and death.
1T is probable that n national de-
partment of health could be advantage
,usly made to consist of the FOLLOWING
bureaus:
Infant hygiene. education anG
schools, sanitation. pure food, registra-
lion of physicians and surgeons, reg.
.stration of drugs, druggists and drug
manufacturers: registration of institu-
ions of public and private relief. cor
rection. detention and residence; or
ganic diseases. quarantine, health in
formation, immigration, labor condi-
ions. research requiring Statistics, re.
search requiring laboratories ant
