WISCONSIN RAILROAD COMMISSION.

THE Wisconsin idea of regulating public ser
l. vice utilities is far different from the no
ton that obtains about them in many other
states. In some of the Eastern States all efforts
towards public regulation arc frowned upon by
some persons and such regulation or supervision
has been called by its fanatcal opponents vio-
laton of the Bill of Rights.
On the other hand the Wisconsin idea is radi-
cal. A writer in the Independent tells how the
Wisconsin commission has worked in actual
practice The Railway Commission has been
in operation for two years and the results have
been so satisfactory that the authority of the
commission has been extended to include water
light power telegraph and telephone utilities as
well as the railways.
The chief purpose of the commission is to fix
rates. The Wisconsin Commission has reduced
both freight and passenger tariffs and it has caus
ed the service to be improved Ii has put on
new trains caused new stations to be built to
take. the place of diapidated ones, and it has
forced the railways to arrange schedules TO suit
the convenience of patrons. The latter is some
thing peculiar as il Is commonly supposed that
railway companies even where there is no state
supervision, arrange their schedules to accommo-
date their patrons.
One might surmisc that with all this regula-
ton some OF the Wisconsin railroad companies
would be bankrupt for those who have opposed
state interference with public service corpora
tions must think that the Wisconsin railroad
companies have suffered intensely from the in
reference of "demagogues"
The article in the Independent shows that moth
ing of the kind has happened Since the work of
the commission was begun, the railway compan-
les have built 2I8 miles of additional lines, and
their net earnings during the last year increased
$5.3o2oS6 The people Of Wisconsin do not be-
grudge them the increase.
The first thing the commission did was TO as
certain the physical valuation Of the railroads and
taking into consideration other things the rates
were fixed on that The chairman of the com
mission was formerly a professor of Commerce
in the University of Wisconsin The second
member was formerly the Commissioner of La
Dor and the third member is lawyer with a
Judicial turn of mind They have made the rail-
way commission a strong force in Wisconsin.
The commissioners are appointed by the governor
and receive salary Of $1,000 each annually.
The railway commission is but one of the
many instances of the Wisconsin idea 1t is no
wonder that IaFoette is so strong in that state
and that Former Senator Spooner, a man of far
greater natural ability than Lal'ollette, was

OWNERS WHO TILL FARMS.

GONE interesting figures have been gathered
~ showing the number of farms and the per-
centage owned by those who live on them in six
teen of the leading states.
In the number OF individual farms Texas leads
with 352,Ioo, of which I17Ioo a trihe more than
fifty per cent. are worked by their owners. New
York with total of 226,72o farms leads in farm
er-owners 76I per cent. of the farms being till
cd by their owners Pennsylvania is a close
third with "a per cent titled by owners, while
Ohio is fourth with US, and Indiana fifth with
ia.
The Southern States in the percentage show
not nearly so we'll there being only forty per
cert OF owners tilling farms in Georgia. the
Empire State Of the South. Other Southern
States do better.
The figures indicate that there is not con-
centration OF land, such as Laurence Gronlund,
the colectivist writer noted. At first he thought
that he saw the same kind of concentration in the
ownership of the land that he observed in the
manufacturing business, but in a later work he
recanted this view and said that further examina-
ton and inquiry did not justify the previous as
sertion.
The figures point but Very clearly that a larg,
percentage of the land is still worked by tn,
owners, which is an ideal condition, for writer.
have always asserted that in a nation where tn,
land is owned by the users the foundations o
the country are secure.

A NEW SCARE IN NEW YORK.

"A BRAND new scare has appeared in New
York. The Japanese war fright has been
worked overtime and those who have fears about
tho future must have something to keep them
happy. For they would not be happy if they did
not see disaster ahead OF the country. The latest
fear is that the United States will become Latin
zed-that is, the Latin races in this country will
increase SO rapidly that they will be dominant
or nearly so.
The figures of the Italian Department OF lm-
migration form the basis for the latest scare
These figures show that during the past year
only twenty-one children were born TO every
1000 American mothers, 175 TO every 1000 ltal-
ian mothers and I2S to every thousand Spanish
mothers.
The French with ratio Of seventy FIVE children
10 1000 mothers the English with ninety-two and
the Germans with nncty-six, beat us.
According to the last census there were three
quarters OF a million of Italians in this country,
and it is presumed that the new census will show
this number increased by a million. In New
York State alone there arc 100000 Italians
pessmstic prophet concludes that within
a century the country will be Latinized or at
least the "foreigners' so-called will outnumber
the Americans Prophets in the past predicted
that America would soon become another Ire
land The present calamity trumpeter is not
without precedent.
1t must be remembered that most of these for
egners so-called are assimated and become
good Americans It is true that the so-called for
egn population has greatly increased, especially
in the cities, but things Of this kind tend TO adj
just themselves and we arc a long way from
reaching a stage in which there would be real
cause for alarm.

NEW YORK AGAINST INCOME TAX.

u HE New York Legislature is set against
\ any kind of income tax, but the vote in
favor OF the constitutional amendment was larg-
er than had been expected. During the debate
prior to the defeat of the amendment resolution
much was said about the state having an income
tax but when a vote was taken on the mat
ter in the lower house the other day the state
income tax was rejected.
The New Workers do not want any kind of
income tax-national or state.
Mr. Taft still favors the amendment as an
emergency measure. When he supported it, he
did not advocate the levying of tax but he
desired the government to be in position to levy
such a tax If necessary.
The opponents of the amendment are taxi
ing no chances They do not want the govern
ment 10 have an opportunity to levy this tax on
wealth. If the amendment is rejected, as seems
certain, it will show that wealth of the country
is amply protected. and it will be as it has been
that wealth will not pay its fair proportion Of
taxation.

There was meeting of the Sixth
District Medical society held in the
Commercial club rooms last Tuesday
evening at which there was much bust
ness of importance transacted.
One of the most important feat
ures Of the meeting was the forma-
ton of the Burleigh County Medical
association. 1t has been found that
there are too many physicians getting
into the country to make convenient
handling of society including all
counties in the Sixth judicial district
and it has been decided to form
county organizations. The Stark
county society has already been form
ed out of the western part Of the
district and Tuesday night Burleigh
county was organized with the fol-
lowing officers:
President-C. G.. Forbes.
Vice President-Victor LaROse.
Secretary and Treasurer-L. A.
Shipper.
Executive Committee-Drs. Fisher
Ramstad and Mrs. Quain.
Delegate to the State Meeting-Dr
Quain.
The Burleigh County society takes
in Emmons, Mclean and Kidde,
counties.
There was a communication pre-.
scented to the meeting by Secretary
WEIGH of the Commercial club, asking
for the cooperation of the society
in the establishment of the proposed
branch of the state laboratory in the
city. The project is heartily favored
by the society and a committee was
appointed to confer with a like COM
mittee from the Commercial club and
they in turn to call on the city com
missioners to see what could be done
in the way of securing the required
amount of money for the equipment
of the laboratory.
