sails under his direction. He is cor
netist of ability and well qualified to
direct the local band At meeting

ness at Washington, already has many
cases that will cause the public to
laugh One of the first questions for
it to decide is whether the hen is a
bird. Ornithologists would unhesitat.
ingly declare she is, but the new
court is not composed of such men.
Eth? What is the odds? Wait min
ute, and you will see how it concerns
every housekeeper. If the court can
be induced to decide that the hen is
a bird, down will go the price of eggs,
for the present tariff bar makes every
importer Of edible eggs pay five cents
a dozen for all he brings into the
country. Birds eggs are ON the free
list
Another nut to crack: Is an auto
mobile household effect? Patriotic
Americans returning from motoring in
Europe will be pleased to have the
court say It is. Under such dect
sion they could take over with them q
few real household goods, set up light
housekeeping for a while, buy a
French automobile, and then return
to this country and do it all for less
than the amount of duty on a high.

In reply to request for his opinion
on the two systems of taxing. railroadsI
United States Senator LA Toilette, fer
mer govorno. Of Wisconsin,, answersu
az follows:
W. II. Wcnz, Bath, South Dalsta.
Dear Sir: L cannot too strongly en-
phasize, in my view, the unwisdem Of
the proposed change of railroad taxa
tion from an advalorem to gross
earnings basis. In Wisconsin after
years of political struggle, we ssceeed-
cd in changing from the gross earnings
to the advalorem basis. The gross car
nings basis in froce for many years
in Wisconsin, was found to be AAi-
ther just to the public nor sapa-
BILE of honest administration. Un-
der that system the railroads frandu
| lently assessed their own taxes, and it
was not any matter of great surprise
| that thoy yielded TO the temptation -
understate their gross earnings in their
reports for taxation purposes. They
| excluded from their sworn statements
amounts aggregating, in the course Of
years, many millions of dollars, and do
frauded the state Of large sums Of tax
es which they were bound by law 10
| pay.
Moreover, the gross earnings, or n
cense fee system, fixes an arbitrary
basis for railroad taxation different
from that ON which the general proper
ty was taxable, and naturally greatly
to the advantage of the railroads, w1o
were constantly in politics for purpose,
| at the expense Of the general fsblio.
Sincerely yours,
Robert M. La Toilette.
| With the experience Senator Ia lOl-
| lette had while governor Of Wisconsin,
he is no doubt as well qualified TO sx-
press an opinion on this subject as any
one in the country. 6a 4e
! 1t might be well for voters to bear
in mind that if railroads are taxed ON
their gross earnings instead Of on their
assessed valuation as at present their
taxes will go into the general fund Of
the state. They will pay no more eoun-
| ty taxes, no more city taxes, no more
school taxes, no more civil township
taxes and no more road taxes. Tha
/ gross earnings tax will be in lieu Of ait
other taxes. Other taxpayers will have
to pay just that much more local taxea
to make up what the railroads will not
pay. Shall Article XII Of the constita.
