ST. PAUL SEEKS NORTH END
Declared That Electric Line May Some
Time be Used as q Freight Line by
Old Time Railway system-sale to
Come Soon.

Although there have been slight
rumors from time to time that the Chi
cago Elevated Railroad merger or the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
may bid in the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric railroad when it is sold under
the hammer in few days, employees of
the road who believe that the report
has leaked out from reliable scource,
predict that the Chicago, Aurora & Chi
cago third rail system is contemplating
the purchase of the road.
They say, however, that if this cor
poration does enter into the bidding
that in all probability it will be simply
for the part of the road owned by the
Wisconsin stockholders. This portion
of the road extends from the North
Chicago junction to Milwaukee on the
main line Of the company. This runs
through the west side of the city. The
part of the road owned by the Illinois
bondholders extends from Waukegan TO
Chicago.
In case the Aurora, Elgin and Chica-
go lire does purchase the Wisconsin
bondholders share it is said from NoTtL
Chicago a new line OF track will be
built west, connecting with the line of
the Aurora, Elgin & Chicago at Elgin.
This would give the company a line
from Milwaukee direct to Chicago.
The company is said to be DESTROYS
of getting the Wisconsin part of the
road to use it largely for freight haul
ing purposes. The Chicago & Milwau-
kee Electric is able to haul little or no
crushed stone because Lake Forest and
Park have raised such an OBJ
lection. With their own right of way,
however, there would be no chance for
a complaint to be made The line also
could be used for passenger traffic and
there is every reason to think that it
would be converted into a third rail
system.

The governor of New York has made
number Of bad recommendations to
the legislature-a one very good one.
Five years ago the state amended its
revenue code by providing that bonds,
secured in any part by mortgage upon
real estate in New York, should be ex-
empt from personal property tax by
paying recording fee amounting TO
one-haf of one per cent. Bonds as to
which the recording tax has been paid,
and which consequently are legally ex-
empt from further taxation within the
state, already command a slightly high
or price than those-of equal worth
otherwise-which are not legally ex-
empt. The exemption applies, however,
only to bonds issued in the state.
Governor Dix now proposes to extend
this law so that bonds, no matter where
issued, may be exempt from taxation in
New York upon payment of the record
ing tax of onehalf of one per cent. A
resident of New York holding thous-
and dollar bond issued by a street rail
way in Chicago, by a gas company in
Seattle, or by any concern anywhere,
could forever compound his liability
to personal property taxation by pay
ing FIVE dollars.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
TO be sure, the bondholder would dodge
his legal liability to taxation. In most
states he must either dodge it or suffer
the loss of quarter to half of his
income from the bond To dodge the
tax is easy enough, but to most minds
tax lodging is disagreeble exercise.
A great many bondholders would pre-
fer to pay five dollars for each thous-
and dollar investment. BY adopting
Governor Dix's proposal New York will
substitute reasonable arrangement for
p farcical one, We hope every state
which now tries Intellectually to reach
eoncealable evidences of investment
with general personal property tax
will follow Mr. Dixs recommendation

MILITARY At FAIR
Many Wisconsin Soldiers
Will Be Seen in Action
at Coming State Fair
PLANS FOR BIG SHAM BATTLE

Plans for military day at the state
fair We're completed on Friday at a
conference of the commanders of the
Milwaukee National Guards organiza-
ton, and William MacLaren, F. A. Can
non, and Bart J. Ruddle of the special
attraction committee. From reports
received from the commanders of the
First, Second, and Third regiments and
the Tenth Separate battalion, it is
safe to say that from 1900 to 1000
soldiers will be in camp on the state
fair grounds.
First battery, field artillery, will be
in camp at Sparta with the regular
troops at the time of the state fair,
but arrangements are under way which
will secure the release of the battery
from it's duties at the regular army
school of instruction for the day. Tt
will be necessary to transport the en-
tire battery in special train from
Camp Randall to the fair grounds,
leaving the former Friday night after
drill and returning to the military res
ervation by Sunday morning.
The following companies of infantry
in the First, Second, and Third regi-
ments outside of Milwaukee have signi-
fed desire to take part in the tour
nament and will muster about fifty
men each:
