the laws are hopelcssly involved, but
that the company would throw itself
on the decision Of the attorney gen
cral, in which immunity practically is
promised to such companies as remain
in the state. The Equitable declares
that the laws are such as to make Il

Bile, unnecessary and oppressive.
President MortOn's letter follows:
After a careful study OF the new
laws regulating life insurance which
have been enacted by the Legislature
of the state Of Wisconsin and which
will become effective as OF January |
1908, the officers and directors Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society have
concluded that 1t is to the best inter

society to cease the transaction OF
new business in Wisconsin as of De
ccmber 81, 1907.
TT Is with great regret that we
withdraw from Wisconsin. The so
ciety is an insurance company, and its
province Is to extend to those who
need IT. the protection of insurance,
but It Is more important to protect the
interests of existing members than TO
seek to obtain new members on any
basis which might injure in any de-

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison. - The Wisconsin state
board of assessment announced that
it had fixed preliminary valuation OF
the property of the railway companies
in the state for 1908 at S26S, ,96l 800, an
increase of Sl3,111, 500 over the final
assessment of the present year. The
Increase in the assessment probably
means a corresponding increase in the
total amount of taxes that the railroad
will have to pay the state next year.
The rate Of taxation of railroad prop
erty is the average rate on all other
taxable property in the state. This
rate varies each year. If 1t is, as high
next year as it is this year, the total
state taxes of the roads next year will
be about $2,945, 1862 or $l43,577 more
than they We're this year.
The largest part OF the increase in
valuation falls on the big roads. The
Chicago & Northwestern is hit hard
est the increase in its case being
$5,S00,000 The Chicago, Milwaukee 4
st. Paul gets boost Of $4,000, 900, the
Wisconsin Central one of 81 ,l00,0
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha one of 100000, the 500 one of
100000, and the Burlington, 100000
The companies will have until Janu-
airy 81 to file protests against the pre-
limnary assessment, 1t is probable
that no material changes will be made
from the valuations fixed in the pre-
limlnary assessment.
