INCREASE IN RAILROAD TAX.

The state board of assessment, in its
preliminary valuation of the railroad
property in the state, places in the
total value at 1898. 1856, 900 in 1907. This
is an increase over the preliminary
valuation for 1906 of SIT, $40, 600, the
Chicago and Northwestern being in
creased 81, 700. 600; the Milwaukee road
$4, 500, 900; the Burlington 81, 100. 600;
the 500 81, 200, 600; the Great Northern
over 81, 500, 600 and the Wisconsin Cen
trail 81, 500, 0O0, mainly for additions,
while several new roads appear on the
list for the first time notably the Mani
towoc, Green Bay and Northwestern at
81, 500, 600.
The telegraph companies have been
valued this year for the first time at
So, l55, 600, giving a tax of $23, 59S. 80.
The work of making the railroad as

it, is heavy task. 1t has taken the
commission more than six months to
complete it.

Mr. Urban was always late to din

evening, as usual, twenty minutes be-

Mr. and Mrs Fortune. Greeting the

This unjust accusation came near over
throwing her cou tesy. Her lips part

frown fingered on her forehead.

An Awkward eredicament.

A curious incident happened once In
the coin rooms of the British museum.
where during visit of Number OF
gentlemen and ladies it VS. observed
that q very valuable and almost unique
Sicilian coin had disappeared. All the
gentlemen present In the room ut the
time had to be searched, and no one
objected except one. He protested his
innocence, but declared that nothing
would induce him to allow his pockets
to be searched All the other visitors
were allowed to go home, but he was
detained while the coin room was
swept and every corner searched once
more. At last the missing coin was
found in chink of the floor.
Every apology was made to the sus-
pected person, but he was asked why
he had so strongly objected to being
searched He then produced from his
pocket another specimen of tue very
same coin. Il came here" he said,
ito compare my specimen. which Is
very perfect, with the only other spec

PRACTICAL EDUCATION. SUCCESS.

This is a momentous day for thou
sand of young men and women. With
the high school and college graduate
it is the critical time Of life. The real
step is now to be taken; the time when
hfe's trials are real and far-reaehing.
The right step or the wrong path lies
open before those who have completed
the course at college or high school.
An old teacher, one who is also the
editor of a neighboring county paper,
writes suggesting on the import ance of
practical life work. In the belief that
his knowledge may he useful to some of
the many young readers of the CENSOR
we quote from the Editorial.
Graduating from high school is an
accomplishment which, TO say the
least, places one on a firm foundation.
The question then arises, how shall the
structure be built? Opinions are diff
ferent and numerous, embracing the
various occupations.
Many graduates have an impression
that they must secure a college educa-
ton to succeed in life. Far be it from
us to decry a college education (get it
if you can conveniently, bat we be
lieye that some have false idea re-
garding it. If one wants to enter the
higher professions, of course the col
lege training is necessary; but if a
business career is desired a high
school education, with a few months
instructions in a good business school,
equips a young man or a young wom-
an in such a way that he or she may
start at the bottom rIng Of the ladder
to success and climb as fast and easily
as those who further pore over their
books in college. As far as earning
material wealth Is concerned, the man
with the high school education, and
many with even less schooling, stands
just as good an opportunity to make
his mark in the world as do those who
spend years in colleges. We desire to
make this point for the benefit Of those
who may not feel financially able u
go through college, yet who believe
that it is necessary to succeed.
Another question arises, what Is
success? We will answer the question
thusly. Doing the most good for he
most people. And the proper w. to
do this is to WORK AND PAY YOUR
DEBTS Everyone of you must work
there is no way of getting around that
your mind compels it. But as tC
your debts well, that's the rub. It's
the rub with everyone of us. Here
again arises the question, what debts.
First, we would answer, YOUR MORAL
DEBTS. You owe society a strictly
moral life, and you owe your fellow
man your moral support. especially il
he be weaker than yourself. Then pay
your material debts Keep a clean
sheet-a clean record. Win the re-
spect and confidence of your fellow
beings and hold it,

OBEY ORDERS.

Some young men are so very indepen-
dent in their notions of their own indi-
vidualism, that they hate to take orders
from anyone. If they are at work for
others all directions on the part Of the
employer must be sugar coated to suit
their love of their own independence
Such men rarely ever get ahead in the
world.

elected to the United States Senate in

great rejoicing among his friends. The

practically all completed by June %.
After that date but a mere handful

understood agreement.
Public Utility Bill Passed.
As was anticipated the public utility
bill was given free scope in the as
sembly. Not a single Republican vote
was recorded against it and not few
Democrats supported it when it came
up for engrossment. The only doubt
in the minds of the Democrats and
this kind of legislation was not step
in the direction OF oligarchy, drift
ing away from the people when the
tendency should be in the other di-
rection. The Democrats fought for
municipal as opposed to state regula-
ton as more expressive of true self
government A large number of
Democrats, however, voted with the
Republicans TO send the bill to en-
grossment. The bill is assured pas
sage through both houses with prob,
ably not a change from the commit
tees final draft,
This is a most remarkable forward
step ard Chairman Leroy, of the com
mittee on transportation, In the course
Of the debate on the measure took
occasion to point out how it illustrated
the remarkable change in public senti-
ment in the state in the past ten years.
"A veteran member of the legislature
told me-" he said, that if some one
had made such a proposition ten years
ago it would have been classed as a
dream Of fairyland."
Other Big Things in Line.
But there are other big thingsin the
line of public utility regulation that
are giving the soloni worry There
are all the 2-cent fare bills. on which
strong arguments We're made last
week there is the physical connection
bill, affecting the telephones, the plac,
ing OF telegraph companies under the
rate commission through a separate
bin and the new measure which pro-
vides for cut Of one-third in the Rates
charged by express companies. All
these are big propositions that must
be handled iudiciously and with pror-
er dignity which means slowly. Then,
too, there is the bin creating a water

The Old and the New in FARMING

In no branch of industry has there
been greater change in the last fifty
years, in the kinds and amount of ma
ehinery necessary to carry on the bust
ness than in farming. A man equipped
with hoe or two to plant and noe corn
and potatoes, grain bag to carry the
small grain in over his shoulder or to
scatter it by him in the field. a caste
iron plough costing $500 or $500, a
harrow with seven to eleven teeth made
by the village blacksmith, a fork or
two made by the same party, a cradle

least TO make start, and many did
start and start successfully too, with
no more labor saving implements. The
whole outfit might sell under the ham
mer for 500. If you would fully ap-
preciate the change go on any good
farm now and see the array of ma
chinery of many kinds, with teams
and stock, and all the appliances neces-
sary to operate it; or look at the list of
articles advertised on auction bills. A
man does not expect to operate a farm
now with less than an output of from
$1,000 to $500 for the things to work
with and even more sometimes.

VOICE OF TIE srATE PRESS.

Oshkosh Northwestern; The cost of
about everything used by the people of
this country is up to the top notch at
the present time, and still the tend
ency is to push prices higher. Author
tiles all agree that the cost of living is
higher than it has been for a good
many years, and the man who has to
pay the bills for family of average
size has good reason to appreciate this
fact. The same thing applies to every
kind of commodity used in the con-
structions of new buildings, and in fact
there is practically nothing used or
consumed in this country at the pre-
sent time that can be classed as really
cheap. 1t is an era of high prices, and
although this condition is a natural
concomitant of prosperity itself the
process of continued increase in prices
cannot go on indefinitely without a
reaction.

Senator Blair and
The Soldiers Home

Dispatches from Olympia say tat
the house committee on appropria-
tions is opposed to the proposed re-
moval of the soldiers home from Or
ting. Senator Blair, of this district,
accompanied the committee on it's
visit of inspection to the home. The
Tacoma Ledger says he objects to a
rule at the home which requires the
old soldiers to work two hours every
day. He says they dread that work,
and this being so, their life at the
home is too much in the nature of inn
prisonment. He says their principal
work has been digging stumps and
carting dirt from higher ground to
the cemetery. They find it necessary
to build up mounds for graves in or
der to leave the coffin far enough un-
derground and still not under water.
Even with the mounds built, it often
happens in winter that the graves
have water In them.
'There is also some talk of intro
ducing a bin to keep saloons two
miles from the home," said Senator
Blair, ''but / am not much in favor of
that. The saloons which are now
about a mile and quarter away
would just move little farther away.
l am in favor of canteen within the
home. Then the old soldier that
drinks would not be allowed to drink
too much"
