Estate OFFICERS EXPECT TO AVOID
LEvY|NG TAX THIS YEAR FOR GENERAL
EXPENSES OF THE COMMONWEAL TIL
May Collect Only the School Tax Which
Goes Back to Counties
Extraordinary Expenditures Authorized by
Legislature Make Problem Difficult
New Capitol Will Not Be Built by Direct
Assessment on the People

There will be no tax levied this
year for the general expenses Of the
state unless the board of assessment,
consisting of Governor Davidson. Sec
rotary of state Frear and State
Treasurer Dahl, in procuring revised
and corrected figures, find that the
financial situation of the tate is
much different from the estimates
which they discussed at meeting
yesterday.
The board met in the office of Sec
rotary OF State Frear and went over
the situation, having in hand reports
from the various departments and ac-
countants. While no final action was
taken, it is believed that it will be
possible to remit all the state tax this
year. as has been done for the past
successive six years.
Difficult Task This Year.
The task is exceedingly difficult
this year ON account of the large adj
ditional and extraordinary approprla
tons made by the last legislature
and on account OF the increased cost
of the university. However, from tie
estimates discussed by the board it
seems possible to avoid a direct tax
this year. but it may not be possible
to do so next year. The board did
not come to final conclusion because
it was desired to get more complete
and reliable information, so that no
mistake be made and the possibility
of embarrassing the state be avoided
Next Saturday the board will hold
another meeting for the purpose Of
taking final action. In the meantime
information will be had from the cap
itol building commission, as to how
much of the capitol appropriation
will be required during the coming
year; also similar information from
the university as to tho expensive
new buildings to be erected there
next year; from the state board of
control regarding the binding Irvine
factory at the state prison and other
institutional improvements authorized
by the legislature. Unless this re.
vised information shows that the ex-
penditures for these purposes will
/ aggregate much more than the pres
ent estimates indicate, there will be
no state tax levied this year.

years the unions have had control of

the company notified the employees
that the rule of the union was at an
end. The company agrees to pay
the same scale as last year, but IT
will not meet any organization in the

lieved that the plant will be forced

DISCUSS WAYS AND MEANS OF

GOVERNOR DAVIDSON DECLARES
GOOD GOVERNMENT DE-
PENDs ON FARMERS.
SAYS THE LEGISLATURE STAYED
LONG BUT ENACTED GOOD
LAWS.
Madison, Oct. 3

Madison, Oct y.
Some 200 farmers who raise to-.
bacco. comprising the members of
the tobacco growers branch of the
American Society of Equity, met in
convention in the assembly chamber
of the capitol yesterday. The Iur-
pose OF the organization is to enable
tie growers themselves to corner
the market and dictate the price by
holding the product until the demand
sends up the price. One detail of the
scheme is to have the members Drac-
tlcally place their crops into the
hands of the officers of a designated
agent of the association.
Governor Davidson addressed the
meeting in the afternoon, declaring
his sympathy with the purposes of
the organization. He also defended
the last legislature against the charge
of extravaganza and explained the
needs OF the larger appropriations
which were made. He also declared
in favor of a national franchise law
or some system by which the federal
! government would exercise regula-
ton over corporations doing inter
state business.
l4e governor began his remarks

THE last Wisconsin legislature,

They stayed long and appropriated
much money, but want you to nm

of the state. Our state is growing by
leaps and bounds, we as common
wealth are becoming every day
richer, and is unavoidable that our
expenditures should grow. For years
our state institutions were neglected.
