FINEST CAPITOL
IN THE COUNTRY
EXPERT OPINION ON THE GROW
ING NEW WISCONSIN
STATEHOUSE.
WORKS OF ART IN SCULPTURE
AND PAINTINGS TO SE
FEATURES.

The new Wisconsin statehouse,
which, completed, will represent an
expenditure of some $6,OO0,OOO, Will
be the finest state capitol in the coun-
try. This is the declaration of archi-
tects, contractors and others who
have had occasion to examine thu
plans of the structure and are also
familiar with other monumental builu-
ings Of like character.
| At present the building is growing
on the east and west sides of the dl-
| lapidated dome Of the old building
The west wing is practically finished
, eXteriorly, lacking only some artistic
stone cutting and the completion OF
the terraces. On the inside mucn
remains to be done. Floors ana par
titions are in and plastering is in
progress.
The east wing is an interesting
scene, with workmen putting up and
riveting great pieces of steel and
others putting in place the heavy
blocks of white granite, which COM
pose the external walls. Still 9th
er workmen are laying up the thick
brick walls within the shell Of gran
tie and connecting with the steel
frame construction. All rests upon
massive concrete foundation
The capitol commission is working
i, advance of 40 ontuol
Of the work. Just now the commits
sion is engaged in letting contracts
! for electrical fixtures and decorative
| features, among them the designs for
sculptured pediments and paintings
for the supreme court chamber and
other portions of the building. Haste
is being made to get the west wing
/ far enough advanced to allow the
meeting therein Of the next legisla-
! ture. The capitol VIII stand SUD-
stantially upon the same ground on
! the square occupied by the old, ruined
sandstone pile, which has served as
statehouse for half a century. But
the new building will be about %
| feet to the west of the center of the
present structure, this change being
made so as to place the building per-
fectIy central and symmetrical 10
the square.
After the completion Of the east
wing the next part of the old build
! ing to disappear will be the south
extension, containing the governor
office, the department of state and
! the statistical bureau on the first floor
and the tax commission, railroad
commission, civil service commission,
commissioner of banking state super
! intendent's office, adjutant generals
department, dairy and food commits
sion and other smaller departments
above the first floor. The next fol-
! lowing work will be the building of
+ the dome and finally the north wing,
where the attorney general, board Of
control, insurance commissioner SUI
pTeme court and law and reference IL
| braries are housed at present This
will hardly be accomplished before
! some eight years have passed.

OFFICIALLY TOLD
OF NOMINATION
SOUNDS CONSERVATIVE NOTE
IN SPEECH OF AC-
CEPTANCE.

Cincinnati, July 29-Of1cialIy mott
fled yesterday of his nomination for
the presidency by the republican
party, William H. Taft, at his broth
er's home in this, the city of his ma
tivity, formally accepted the honor
pledged anew his allegiance to the
policies Of President Roosevelt and
declared that the chief function OF
the next republican administration
will be to clinch what mas been al
ready accomplished by the present oc.
cupant of the white house. In doing
this, however, Taft pointed out
in what is regarded as a conservative
note in his address that there will be
serious and difficult work to do
principally to devise means by which
the high level of business integrity
and obedience to law which he
(RoOseveID has established may be
maintained and departures from it re-
strained without undue interference
with legitimate business" Taft
attacked the democratic platform, as
sorting that most of its declarations
either are inconsistent or disingenu-
Gus. Bryan's policies were held up
as destructive. There were loud cries
of no, no." when he said:
Il submit to those most interested,
wage earners, farmers, business men,
whether the introduction into power
of the democratic party, with Bryan
at it's head, and with the business de-
struction that it openly advocates as
a remedy for present evils, will bring
about the needed confidence for the
restoration Of prosperity"
Taft denounced the democratic anti
injunction plank as vague and am
biguous" in contrast to the republi-
can declaration which he said was
clear and meQuivocal." Labor and
the rights of labor came in for ex-
tensiye consideration.
Following the delivery of his
speech, Taft reviewed a parade of To-
cal and visiting militia and political
marching clubs which occupied so
minutes in passing given point.
Practically half those in line were
CoIored members of Taft clubs or
gained III this and neighboring
states. Last night the heavens were
aDlaze with vari-coIored lights of tx
pIoding rockets, soaring bombs and
surprising effects of the modern fire
works art. From a brilliantly lighted
river steamer, Taft, surrounded by
visiting politicians and a host of
friends, witnessed the light display.

Physical Valuation of Railways.


or receipts, less proper expenses,
should be limited TO a fair profit upon
the reasonable value Of its property,
and that if the sum exceeds this meas
ure. it ought to be reduced. The diff
Guilty in enforcing the principle is in
asecrtaining what is the reasonable
value of the cOmpany's property, and
in fixing what is fair profit. 1t is
clear that the physical value of a
railroad and its plant is an element to
be given weight in determining its
full value; but as President Roosevelt
in his Indianapolis speech and the
supreme court have in effect pointed
out, the value of the railroad as a 60
due to efficiency of service and many
other circumstances, may be much
greater than the value Of its tangible
property, and it is the former that
measures the investment on which a
fair profit must be allowed. Then, too,
the question what is a fair profit is
one involving not only the rate Of in
terest usually earned on normally safe
investments, but also a sufficient al
Iowance to make up for the S4sk OF
loss both of capital and interest in
the original outlay. These considera
tons will have justified the company
in imposing charges high enough to
secure a fair income on the enterprise
as a whole
Enforce Registry of Corporations
Another suggestion in respect to
subordinate and anciIlary machinery
necessary to carry Out republican poll
cies said Judge Taft, is that of The
incorporation under national law or
the licensing by national license or
enforced registry Of companies en-
gagged in interstate trade. The fact
is that nearly all corporations doing
a commercial business are engaged u
interstate commerce, and if they all
were required to take out a federal
license or a federal charter, the bur-
den upon the interstate business OF
the country would become intOlerabIe.
