"hurts business. |"

When the st. Paul wanted to
start this gigantic piece of work
it needed some changes in the
laws of it's home state to permit
the great bond and stock opera
tons of the new line. And its
, home state was Wisconsin ! Once
Wisconsin had been just about
run by the railways, but their
reign was over. Wisconsin was
in the fell clutch of LaFollette.
Another law forbade gaining the
goodwill of legislators by passes.
Another law LaFollette had put
on the statute books made it I'M
healthy for a lobbyist to hang
around the capitol. Without pass
es and lobbyists how could poor
railroad get the laws it needed?
Burton Hanson, general solic-
itor of the St. Paul system, saw a
state officer whom he knew and
laid the dreadful case before him.
''What can I do?" he pleaded.
what CAN I dor"
WELL said the LaFollette
man, ''if you have good case
why don't you go before the leg
islature, man. to man, and ask
what you want?"
Such a thing never seems to
have occurred to the general So.
licitor but really why not? 1t.
was business matter concerning
the state. Why use influence"
or lobby about as if it were a
crime? Why not be fair and
open?

being great constructive states
man, fought the railways tooth
and nail when they were wrong
as they were in the anti-pass, the
primary, and the tax fights; but
the state government of Wiscon-
sin does not remember these
things in its official action. 1t is
too big and too great to be grate-
full. ,~>a
One of the first fights the SEN
ator had to make against Big
Business was for equality of taxa
ton. The railroads and other
public utilities paid licenses
which relieved them of their Just
share of taxes as compared with
other property. 1t is so still in
most states.
But, thanks to LaFollette, it is
so no longer in Wisconsin After
beating the enemy in the anti
pass, anti-lobby and primary
struggles, LaF Toilette put through
a tax commission law under
which these public utility proper
ties are made to pay taxes to their
values as farms and homes.
In 1899 the railroads got off BY
paying over a million dollars per
year less than they should. Thus
their lobby was paid. Thus the
legislature was corrupted. Since
1904 the railroads have paid Wis
