THE MAN FOR SENATOR

Wisconsin needs a man IN the
United States senate who can get re-
suits. Samuel A. Cook. who is a
candidate for United States senator
at the primaries, Sept. 6, 1910, has
shown by his past record that he
can do this. He has secured results
as farm boy, merchant, manufacture
er, employer and owner and opera
tor of model dairy farm, and as
senator he can get results that
count.
It was Mr.. Cook, who, when re-
preventative in congr' IS, secured
the passage of the filled cheese law.
At a time when a cheese made OF
skim milk with cheap oils and fats
added was selling as full cream
cheese and bringing a distrust of the
genuine cheese trade that was caus-
ing it's ruin, Mr.. Cook introduced in
congress, and secured the passage
of bill that forced the makers of
the spurious article TO brand it for
exactly what it was. This stopped
the sale of the cheap imitation no
one would buy it when they knew
what it was-and was a great slim
ulus to the genuine cheese business
and to all the dairy industry.

Now, this Is a STATE TAX, levied
by the state on the county, and it
doesn't matter by what name you
designate it or for what purpose il
is levled-EVERY DOLLAR OF IT MUST
COME AND DOES COME FROM THE
TAX PAYERS OF ST. CRoIx COUNTY.
Back in the administrations of
Hoard, Peck, Upman and Schofeld
this tax ranged from Sc, 900 to $12,-
600 per year, To-day, as county,
we are paying $40, 900 per year not
withstanding the fact that the reve-
nues of the state have increased enor-
mously-the general fund receipts
alone increasing from So 904 ,09l 90
in 1901 to $5,750,778 SO in 1908,
while the trust fund receipts mount
ed in that time from 81 500, 44O SO to
81, 480, 863.47.
In view OF these facts, which are
matter of public record easy of
veritication, | think it IS hardly fair
to accuse me of buncOmb when de-
clare in my platform that | believe
the people of Wisconsin are over
burdened with taxes, and that if
