The Dime.

That neat and lovable little coin, the
dime, has had a most useful history.
AS far as we are aware, it is unique
among the worlds coins, having no
nearer equivalent than the English six
pence, which is worth 2 cents more. 1t
is one of the handiest of coins, being
about as small as a silver piece can
conveniently be. Being less in size and
weight than the nickel, which is worth
only half as much, it is vastly more
convenient to keep and hoard, and that
is one reason why it is becoming ex-
traordinarily scarce in spite Of the
fact that more dimes are now turned
out of the minis than ever before III
the countrys history. There is rage
for dime banks" and some of these
mechanical contrivances are SO pretty,
so ingenious and SO alluring that they
force people to save dimes who have
no earthly occasion to do sO.-New

which was the name Of the NFhartOns'

the word to be LES Sauterelles' (the

still another chance in the event of
such contingency Mr.. Nye of Supe-

no candidate has Il majority at the

that none of these measures will go

made in the primary law for the NOM
nation of candidates for United States
senator it was admitted that such NOM
nation could be only advisory and
could have no legal binding on any

IRE. His picture is being paraded on
front pages with those of actresses in
more or less abbreviated attire and his
photograph is in great demand. Ihe
last straw came the other day, how
ever, when Il yellow New York journal
sent on an order for his autograph.
Perhaps the best joke of it all. how
ever, is that many newspapers are
taking his proposition seriously and

lead to fewer divorces and other
scandals and increase the sum Of

Accurate Information Secured.

The state tax commission, during
the past two years, has been making
Il thorough investigation Of the mort
cages in each county under direction OF
Professor T. S. Adams, Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. This data has
been. secured from the offices of reg
listers of deeds and is probably the
most accurate information Obtainable.
In addition the commission has had
a few expert men assessing property
in different counties of the state, so
that comparison can be made with
the report of the local assessor in each
locality
Besides this the tax commission
HOW requires an annual report from
each register of deeds of transfers Of
real estate with the additional III
formation if the property is mort
gagged. 1t is believed with this data
enough information can be furnished
to prevent overlapping or double tax
alton if the mortgage law is passed.
An important measure to be con.
sidered at this session is that for an
income tax Two years ago cOnsti-
tutional amendment providing for an
income tax was adopted. This will
have to be put through the legisla
ture again this winter before being
passed upon by the people. There
seems to be no disposition to oppose
the proposed legislation.

Mortgage Taxation Again.

Two subjects of particular interest
to farmers will again give sleepleSs
days and nights to the legislators be-
fore the end of the session, being the
Torrens system of land registration
and mortgage taxation. The Torrens
system has been repeatedly turned
down by past legislatures, but Senator
Stondall, who championed it two years
ago, has again brought it to the front
this winter A more intricate subject
to deal with is mOrtage taxation. Wis
consin has had mortgage tax laws be-
fore. has one now in fact, but they
don't seem to work. In his recent
message to the legislature Governor
Davidson urged that an effective law
be enacted. A great many members
of both houses have spoken out in
favor of the exemption from taxation
Of this form of credits. but it is said
the lawyers Of the senate are hard to
rouse OH the proposition
The farmer members as a whole, it is
said, are in favor of mortgage taxa
ton, but it is probable that many are
unaware of the intricacies involved in
such plan. OF course the theory for
the exemption is that a taxation of
both the mortgage and that portion
of the value of the land which is rep
resented in the mortgage as security
presents practically double taxation,
because the land is subject to assess
ment. The attempt will be made to
IL
this double taxation by removing
from the tax lists all lands covered
by mortgage in an amount equal to
the mortgage for which the land is Sc
curity.
