Committee Firm for Income Tax

CCBUHiiLlCG 7 lI1l IOF lnCCFHS ak
The joint committee appointed by
the legislature of 1909 to investigate
the subject Of an income tax and to
report a bill or bills covering that
subject" through Secretary G. A. In
gram, filed it's report with Governor
Davidson. In the proposed bill an
average of two per cent. is not
reached until the income amounts to
$4,000; 27a per cent. is reached at
$4,000; three per cent. at $4,000;
four per cent. at $4,000; five per
cent. at $4,000. No income, how
ever, will reach a six per cent. rate.
The committee reports that it
seems to be practically agreed by
students of taxation that the per-
sonal property tax as we have it is
a failure, not only because of INSULT
cient administration, but because OF
inherent defects in the theory upon
which it is founded In theory the
income tax meets with universal ap-
prevail, the real problem being in it's
application and administration.

CHANGES PROBABLE
IN INSURANCE LAW
May Make WisConsin's Statute
Comply With New York'S.
TO APPOINT COMMISSIONER?
Hope to Make That Officer Receive
Money Deposited by Insurance
Companies, Instead of the
State Treasurer.

Madison.-The indications are that
there will be considerable insurance
legislation this winter, some of which
may make radical changes in the
handling Of this department.
One of the things contemplated is
bringing the Wisconsin law more into
line with the New York insurance law.
When Insurance Commissioner Beadle
and the present commissioner, H. L.
Ekern were in the east short time
ago they paid a visit to Albany for
the purpose of consulting with the in
surance department there and obtain
ing a better line on the manner in
which the department is conducted.
The books of the department were
thrown over to their inspection and
the methods of operating explained in
detail. One thing that impressed
them was the fact that under the
New York law the money deposited
by insurance companies as protection
for their stockholders in the state was
deposited with the commissioner of
insurance instead of the state treas
urer's department.
It is understood that an effort will
be made during the coming session
to have the Wisconsin law so changed
as to conform to the New York law
in that respect.
1t is also understood that an effort
will also be made to have the Office
of insurance commissioner made ap-
pointive instead of elective. The New
York commissioner is appointed by
the governor. The argument which
will be advanced in support of this
change will be that by having the
insurance commissioner appointed in
stead Of elected at the time the other
state officers are elected will take the
office out of politics.
If a bill is introduced proposing such
change it is understood that it will
provide that the appointment shall
be for four years.
Little has been said regarding in
surance law changes but those who
are watching matters closely say that
1t will be no surprise if bills cover
ing the above points are introduced
early in the session.
McGoVern Hard at Work on Message.
Governor McGOvern cleared his
desk of two days mail and then at
tackled his message, which he had de-
termined to prune as far as posi-
BILE.
The message, as completed at Mil
waukee, is very long and, without
dropping any Of the subjects treated,
he will endeavor to boil it down"
The copy will be given to the printers
so that it may be delivered to the gov
ernor as soon as possible and copies
may be distributed to the newspapers
January r.
To show the interest taken in the
Forthcoming state paper, it is said the
Associated Press has asked for 800
copies for distribution to the Associ-
ated Press papers of this country in
advance. In addition, the press agen-
cies have applied to local represent
atives for copies in advance.

PRESIDENT TAFT
VETOES WOOL BILL
Tinkering MithIssue Now Would
Upset Business.
CONGRESS- WITHOUT FACTS.
President Of the Opinion That No Pub
BIC Exisency Exlsts Recurring
Revision In August Without
Adequate information. 4

Washing ton. President Taft car
ried out his threat to veto the Wool
Tariff Bill. In special message to
the House Of Representatives he char
acterized the measure a blend of an
avowed tariff for-revenue and anti
protection measure with professed
protection bill.
In explanation Of his course Pres
ident Taft said the bill was not in
harmony with the platform on which
he was elected. Furthermore, he
declared that the American people
are deeply impressed with the cop<
viction" that the interest Of the con-
Stunning public can be properly guard
ed only by revising the tariff one
schedule at time, and then upon
accurate and scientifically acquired
information"
That there is widespread belief
that many of the rates in the wool
schedule are too high and in excess
of any needed protection for the
woolgrower and manufacturer is adj
mitted by President Taft, and he
says he shares this belief. Asserting
that December was the time fixed
by both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties in the last Congress
for the submission Of adequate in
formation upon schedule K, with a
view to its amendment, the President
says there is no public exigency re
quiring revision in August without
adequate information"
After promising that the tariff
board will be ready to report in De-
cember, the President asserts that
failure of the present bill should not
be regarded, therefore, as taking
away the only chance for reduction
by this Congress. -
The message will be accepted as
an indication that no tariff bill pre-
pared in advance OF q report of the
tariff board upon schedules affected
will be signed by the President.

Warrington. resident TAFT. In
q special message to the HOUSE Of

Joint resolution providing for the adj
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona

His reason for exercising the ex-
ecutivs power OF veto was based on
his thorough disapprovai OF the re-
call Of judges clause In the Arizona
Constitution.
The fact that Now Mexico's STATE
hood was bound up with that Of Arr
Kona meted out to her the same fate.

Condemns Recall
Tie President did not spare words
In condsmning the recall feature OF
the Arizona Constitution, which, he
said, would compel judges to make
their decisions under legalized ter
rorism.'' The recall provision would
operate against all elective officers OF
Arizona. including both county and
State, judges. When rs per cent. of
the voters OF the previous election
petitioned for special election to
remove an Official, such an election
would be compulsory.
Referring to the recall provision,
he asks:
Could there be system more in
geniously devised to subject judges
to momentary gusts OF popular pas
sion than this?"
The message was received with
great interest by the House, largely
because of the Presidents long assoc
citation with the Judiciary.

Chicago.-Two aviators, William
r. Badger, of Pittsburgh, and St.
Croix tombstone, OF Chicago, both
young men. lost their lives at the
International Aviation Meet here
Tuesday. One hundred thousand
spectators looked on. In dying both
revealed the frailty of the craft in
which two score more aviators were
curving and gliding about in the air,
with scarcely pause for the deaths
of their contemporaries.
Death in both cases was due to
unexpected accidents, probably the
results of unsupported defects in the
mechanism of the machines, and was
in no way caused by carelessness nor
lack of responsibility of the drivers.
Badger, a wealthy youth, careened
to his death in pit in the aviation
field. There had been flaw in one
Of the wings Of the propeller of the
Baldwin machine he drove. Centrif-
ugal force broke the propeller, up
set the delicate equilibrium OF the
machine and Badger dashed 100 feet
to the bottom Of the pit, his neck be-
ing broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his
engine, and WIS drowned as. the re-
suit of an equally unsupported defect,
Caught under the heavy engine in
the Moissant monoplane, he was car
ried deep into Lake Michigan, and
his body was not brought to the sur
face until an hour later.
