To be in the paid lobby, about the
Legislature, these days. means to take
a seat away back in the gallery. How
different from the days of Senator
Joe Rankin and others, who were
members of the legislature, lobbyists,
and among the most popular, most in
huential and most sought for men In
public life. Times are changed and
men have changed with them.

Senator Randolph has introduced a
bill in the state legislature to provide
that 20 per cent of the taxes paid by
corporations shall go to the county in
which the corporation property is locat.
ed, instead of entirely to the state
treasury. This will mean much to the
larger cities of the state, where large
portion of their assessed valuation il
now exempt from local county taxation
And what win it mean to counties hav
ing no railroad property? Nothing, Of
course, except that they are likely Il
be called upon to pay good sized stats
tax because if said corporation ia,
goes to the counties as proposed in sait
bill, instead Of the state treasury, tn,
state will be obliged to call on the
counties to make good to the amount
this scheme would deprive it Of fund,
necessary to run the state property. =

Milwaukee News: The densturec
alcohol act, the enactment of which
was obtained by the manufacturing in
terests inducing the farmers through
their organizations to urge congress t.
act, has proved a sad disappointment
to the farmers, who were led to sup
pose that with the passage Of the bill
they would be free to set up stills or
their farms and turn their waste pro.
ducts into alcohol. The regulations OF
the internal revenue department anc
the requirements Of the law stand as q
bar to the farmer who would make al
cohol p, jduction side issue to his az.
riculturai activities. The denatured al.
cohoi act not only has been disappoint.
ing to the farmers. bnS it has been dis
appointing to those that expected that
alcohol would displace gasoline.
