Courtroom Crowded.

AS usual, the criminal court room
was crowded with interested specta-

before the hour for court to convene.
No sooner had. e decision been rem

dispersed and its members walked of
in little groups. evidently discussing
the decision.

brief opinion all eyes urns6 rom the

PENDANTS, if they were stunned or
shocked or disappointed by the decis-

wardly. They were immediately sur
rounded by reassuring friends who
grasped their hands, and said comfort
ing words to them. The defendants
greeted these friends with smiles and
appeared not the least cast down.
With their counsel, the situation APP
peared different. Most of the counsel
for the defense seemed stunned at

MAN LONG MISSING
Charles Macy Who Formerly Worked
Here Thought to Have Been Killed

Mrs. Mary Macy of New York city,
is looking after her son, Charles Macy,
% years of age. She believes he was
killed on the Chicago and Northwestern
railway, near Racine and buried as an
unknown.
Young Macy was a molder by trade
and left his home two years ago. For
a long time he was employed in Keno
sha and wrote his mother regularly.
Later she received letters from Racine
and he said he worked for Lakeside
firm. Suddenly the letters stopped and
all efforts on the part of the mother
to get word failed.
Then a report reached her that her
son fell off freight train north of
Racine and was killed, and she is now
making an effort to ascertain if this is
true. Coroner Hoyle of Racine or the
police department have not received in
quiries from the mother.

THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS

Twenty years ago telephones were
minor luxury AS late as 1890 there
were less than eight thousand in the
second city Of the United States.
The ''Bell" report for 1907 shows
that there are now nearly four million
subscribers, or stations - in that sys-
tenn. The number Of local messages
average eighteen million daily; the
number Of "long-distance" messages
nearly half a million daily. Many
more long distance messages are sent
by telephone than by telegraph. Gross
earnings of the various "Ben" ex-
changes amounted to hundred and
twenty million dollars last year (com-
pairing, for example, with thirty-three
millions gross earnings Of Western
Union Telegraph). The report gives
actual value of "Bell" plants and
working capital as five hundred and
eighty-nine millions. If reports from
the "independent companies were
available these figures would be consid-
erably enlarged; and this is nearly all

Two decades ago electric railways
were, also, an entirely negligible inter

railways exceeded three hundred and

above two billions. This Is mostly
creation of the last twenty years.
Some columns might be filled with
other examples. There are so many of
them, in fact, that people, by spells fall

MAY REVISE PLAN
Tax Commission Making Plans for
Change Regarding Taxation
ofInsurance Companies
ORION LAW UNSATISFACTORY

The state tax commission has not yet
begun work upon the examination of
the insurance taxation question, and
there are many people who are afraid
that if it does not take up the question
very soon, it will not be in a position
legislature on the subject. What is more
seemingly, the state tax commission,
if it desires to continue as a body of
value to the state should for reasons
of it's own protection, attempt to make
this report that is conceded to be neces-
sary in such careful manner that it
will be a document of value. There is
no question before the country at this
time affecting insurance companies
which affords better opportunity for
study or better opportunity for a
commission which has examined the
question, to return a report which will
be of value to the state it represents
and to the nation.
Insurance taxation in all states, Wis
consin not excepted, is, not on a scienti-
fc basis. No person who has given
any study to insurance questions would
for minute claim that it is. The in
surance taxation laws of nearly all
states have been adopted in the past
more or less as matters of expediency.
This was especially true Of Wisconsin,
which was a pioneer in an attempt to
secure adequate taxation of insurance
moneys. Wisconsin under law known
as the "Orton law" which was passed
more or less as a compromise, and at
time when there was demand for in
creased taxation of corporations, start
ed a movement which forms a basis of
the present taxation in this state, al
though the law under which Wisconsin
now operates is not the original Orion
law, but an amendment thereto, adopt
ed in 1901, but never in force to it's
full extent for the reason that had the
law been made operative to it's com
plete meaning, the retaliatory taxes
which would have been imposed by
other states because Of the demands of
GHO HIOcOhO law WOu1O uCLNC 11dOS JIG
taxes of Wisconsin corporations SO
heavy as to be unbearable. Each legis-
lature since 1901, has seen an amend
ment to the law, practically suspending
it's complete operation.
Undoubtedly when the present Wis
consin law which taxes the gross in
come of insurance companies at the
rate Of 3 per cent per annum, was
adopted, it was hoped that other states
would go upon the same basis. They
have not seen fit to, and it is admitted
that the present Wisconsin law does
not offer scientific method of taxa
ton it becomes incumbent upon the
tax commission to offer a substitute.
That the taxes paid by the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
and other home companies, are exces-
sive there can be no doubt, but one of
the reasons why the present tax has
been allowed to go unadjusted is the
fact that up to this time a scientific
method of urging the insurance tax
proposition has not been offered.
