New Income Tax Measure.

The income tax measure, Wnlcn VIII
he presented to the Legislature by the
members of the special income tax
committee, with the possible excep-
tons of Assemblymen Georgi Of Mil
waukee ana Towers Of the First Co
lumbia district, will be the Ingram
BILL with this variation:
Where the Ingram bill provides for
graduated tax running from one to
20 per cent the new bill provides for
tax of one per cent. on $1,000, IA
per cent on $4,000, 11a per cent. on
$4,000, and so on until six per cent.
Is reached on incomes Of $4,000 and
upward. This is to be the maximum
under the bill.
In the exemptions to the personal
property tax, pianos and other musical
instruments and all works of art are
to be stricken out, as well as all farm
ing implements. It is believed by
many that this inclusion of farming
implements in the personal property
subject to taxation is likely to imperil
the passage of the proposed bill by
the legislature.

To Stifle River Traffic.

To Stifle River Traffic.
Attorney C. l.. Hood In the circuit
court at La Crosse, charged the rail-
roads with a conspiracy to gain con-
troll of riparian rights in the principal
cities along the Mississippi and It's
tributaries, with the intention to throt-
tie river commerce by controlling
wharfage between factory sites and
the water.
He declares the conspiracy Is coun-
try-wide and wherever factories are
located where water shipments could
be made, the railroads have strung
tracks along the waters edge and
claim riparian rights which would
make double handling necessary, were
manufacturers to seek to ship by water
instead of by rail.
Attorney Hood made the charge In
connection with a suit over land
owned by Sarah Larson, condemned
and appropriated by the st. Paul road
upon payment of $3.50.

Farmers Object to Line.

Serious delay is to be encountered

fort to lay a new direct line across
Wisconsin from Milwaukee to La
Crosse. Complaint has been filed with
the railroad commission by farmers
along the western end of the new
route, protesting against the right-of-
way sought by the company.
A commission to appraise and con-
denim the desired right-of-way Will
probably be appointed.
BY the new route now building the
railroad officials will eliminate the
three tunnels encountered east of La
Crosse, and will materially shorten
the route between La Crosse and Mil

USES OF A COLLEGE.

not even train men for the profess

for that purpose, and in the days when
no such schools existed medicine was
taught in the Offices Of physicians and
law In the Offices OF lawyers. Just as
business was and still is taught IN
places of business. Colleges were not
instituted to make physicians nor TO
make lawyers. Neither were they In

Attorney General Frank l.. Gilbert,
addressing the class Of Prof. +, G.
Meyer in state administration at the
university, declared that the addition
of three more assistants to the depart
mcnt would result In the collection OF
enough inheritance tax now Withheld
from the state to more than pay the
entire general expense of that depart
mcnt.
The state is deprived of much
money to which 1t Is entitled from es-
tates, but the attorney general said
that in order to look after all of the
estates 1t would be necessary to send
representatives Of the department by
each county to make Investigations
and enforce the law. While the state
collects much of this tax now, much
of 1t is lost on account of the impossi-
bility of the present force In the de-
partment to devote the time, travel
and investigation necessary.
Mr.. Gilbert advocated the lengthen-
ing of the term of the Office of attor-
ney general and said the office should
be removed from the field OF political
scrambling by placing its election In
the spring instead of In the fall.
Length of tenure will tend to better
the administration, he declared, for
under the system of biennial elections
the attorney general has acquired IA
miliarity and some experience in his
work only at the time he Is called
upon either to make n campaign for a
second term or 70 give up the office &c
another inexperienced man.
