STATE TAX CERTAIN
Legislatures Big Appropriations
Make State Tax q Necessity
for Next Year
POLITICIANS ARE WORRIED

The reckless manner in which the
Legislature crowded the important
appropriation bills through in two
days Of last week has resulted in the
esta blishment of arecord for extrava-
gance.
The total appropriations made thus
far exceed the total of any former
Legislature. The result will be that
there will be substantial state tax
instead of remission of the state
dues as heretofore for several success
sive years.
The total appropriations made by
this Legislature are $4,517, 545. Of
this amount 100000 comes under the
head of standing appropriation that
is sums set aside every biennial ses-
sion for the running expenses of the
state. This leaves $3,917, 545 for
special or temporary appropriations,
which sum, however, includes the
appropriations for the maintenance
of the states institutions which
amount to 81, 589, 800 81, O63, 0OO for
running expenses, $474,80O for repairs
and improvements and $4,000 to
make up the deficiency of last year.
Some of the larger appropriations
are $125, 600 for the initial expense Of
a binder twine plant at Waupun,
Si10, 900 for state monument at the
Vicksburg battlefield, and $50, 900 for
mining school at Plattevi11e. The
new capitol is to receive the sum of
5000, 900 year for the next six years
and the university appropriation
amounts to tremendous sum, over
$500, 600 being appropriated for new
buildings.
There is no little alarm felt by the
politicians at the free hand with which
the Legislature distributed the states
money and there is many a qua1m
In the conscience of those upon whom
the sponsibility will fall. Gov.
Davidson is being urged to veto some
of the appropriation bills, particular.
~ the binder Irvine proposition and
the appropriation for a school of
mining at P1atteville.
On account of the condition of the
state finances, it will undoubtedly be
necessary to levy all the taxes author
lied by the Legislature for specific
purposes. These include the taxes
for the university, normal schools,
free high schools, graded schools and
interest on trust fund, amounting in
all to So, 500, 40 for educational pur-
poses. A state tax is also authorized
for the new capitol amounting to
100000 for the two-year period, or
-S450,OOo year.
If these taxes are levied the state
will have credit of $24, 217.
For several years all state taxes
have been RENTED. This was made
possible by the increased taxes on
railroads and corporations, which
was sufficient until this year to meet
all the growing needs of the state,
including even the erection of a new
capital building.

Officials Of the Chicago, Ksuosha
and Milwaukee Road Seeking
the Mayor and Attorney Out
BONDS HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND
Mayor, However, Promises To Give Ger
titled Copies To Officials Within
the Next Three Days-De-
cision Is Withheld.

The officials of and the attorneys
for the Chicago, Kenosha and Mil
waukee Railway Company are max
ing a hard fight to get possession of
the bond which the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company has filed in con-
nection with the railway franchises in
Kenosha, and Tuesday there we're
some pretty hard fights in words be-
tween these men and Mayor Gorman
and City Attorney Slater. Just what
the officials Of the through line are so
anxious to get the bond for is not APP
parent, but it is claimed that they
seek this evidence to aid them III get
ting franchise through the city of
Waukegan. Tuesday officials of the
company went to Mayor German and
requested that they be given peek at
the bond, but it was not forthcoming
The old story of how the mayor had
given the bond to the city attorney
and how it was then given to news.
paper man was told several times, but
the bond was not produced. Attorney
Grover stated before he left the city
Tuesday that the mayor had promised
to give him Ia certified copy of the
bond within three days, and it is
probable that some one will have to
work over time to get the bond out OF
its hiding place and get it copied and
certified. Just how much of lever it
will be in controlling the situation at
Waukegan remains to be seen.
While the bond is not now at the
Office of the city clerk, if the
bond is good the property rights
of the people of the city are
fully protected while the railway is
being built, as the bond has been
filed with the city clerk and it was re.
moved from the Office of the city clerk
by the mayor, who desired to examine
it in order to decide whether or not he
would approve it. So long as it has
not been disapproved by the mayor,
the attorneys hold that the bord,
wherever it is. would become operative
in case the city desired to get back al
the railway company for any imper
feet work or for failure to carry out
the terms of the franchise. AS tt
whether or not the mayor has p
proved the bond no one can say. Al
one time the mayor did approve al
least one Of the bonds, but whether OF
not his approval still stands can not
be shown until the bond is produced
or left at the Office of the city clerk.
The bond business was the cause Of
several passes at arms between the
attorneys for the two railway com
panies in the hearing on the condem
nation proceedings in the Circuit
Court Tuesday afternoon. After Z
rather strenuous day in court the case
was closed by the attorneys and Judge
Belden took the matter under advise
ment. His decision in the case
will be rendered as soon as he car
take up aud consider the evidence
The Commissioners, James Penne
feather, Frank Slosson and w. j
Frost, will serve for all the property
sought by the railway company if the
Court holds that the Chicago, Keno
sha and Milwaukee Co. can condemn
right OF way through the property
now used by the Kenosha Electric
Railway Co. as car barn.
