nounced that it had fixed the value Of
railroad property in the state for tax
alton purposes at 1927, $4,000, an in
crease of $13,S69 900 over that of last
year.
The total taxes levied were $780,
1851, an increase of $134, 257.97 over
those of 1910 The rate of taxation on
this property is the average one on
all other taxable property in the state.
This year the average rate is Sill
179GS554 per 81, 900 valuation, while
last year it was S11.25323566.
The increase in the value Of railroad
property was due principally to extern
sions and permanent improvements.
In the case of the Chicago & North
western company the increase was
from 100000 last year to sos, 000,-
900 this year; in the case of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul it was
from $SS,OOO,O0O to $90,50O,0O0 Wis

Bill Against Tips on Pullman Cars.

The lordIy Pullman car porter
and the equally majestic waiter
are in serious danger of losing some
of their emoluments.
Assembiyman c. J. Johnson of Mari
nette will introduce a bill in the as
sembly preventing employees from re-
ceiving tips. Mr.. Johnson provides in
his proposed bill that any railroad
company must keep in plain sight in
cars operated by them the sections of
the statutes applying to this subject,
Mr. Johnson, however, seems to
leave a loophole in his measure,
through which occasional tips may
slide He hits at tips given with the
knowledge of the employer. About
the tips given without the knowledge
of the employer there is no provision
in the bill Any employer who per-
mits his employees to take tips is
liable to a fine of from $25 to $4,000
and Imprisonment in the county Jail
not exceeding 60 days, or both fine
and Imprisonment.
AS he is not likely to know of the
tips which his employees receive there
is little likelihood of his going to Jail
or having to pay a fine. Mr.. Johnson
is very much in earnest with his bill.
He thinks if it passes that the tipping
evil will be controlled to a large ex-
tent

Teach People Through Newspapers.

Believing that the newspapers are
the best means of reaching and teach
ing people, Senator Victor Linley, SUI
perior, introduced a resolution provid-
ing for an initial appropriation of
100000, and ultimately of an expen-
diture of S250,000 for the purchase of
space of newspapers in which to have
the University of Wisconsin give to
the people of the state the results of
the latest investigation as well as gen
eral information concerning agricul-
ture, dairying, public health, municipal
problems, sanitation, good roads and
similar subjects of local and state in
terest.
Through the newspapers Senator
Linley believes every citizen and
every home can be reached and that
the state university can furnish prac-
teal information that will be of the
greatest value to the people of the com
monwealth. By having this informa-
ton published regularly in the same
place in the paper under department
heading that will indicate it's source
and it's authoritative character, he be-
lieves it will have more effect than If
published as at present as news mat
ter.
All the investigation being carried
on at the state university from the
making of hollow concrete fence posts
to the latest methods of breadmaking
and from the prevention of oat smut
to the best methods of rural school
consolidation, according to this plan,
will be presented in popular form in
short news stories, SO that the people
of the state can make use of the re,
suits of this research work.

MARY ANN BILL
IS INTRODUCED
Provides for Majority Nominal
tons at Primary Elections.
WILL END PLURALITY CHOICE
This Is One of the Most Notable Re.
forms Demanded in the Last Re-
publican PIatform-Was Urged
for Eight Years.

Madison.-The opening of the legis-
lative session after recess of three
days, was marked by the introduction
of the largest batch of bills that has
come in any one day during the ses-
sion. This was because the legisla-
tive reference library was able to "fll
orders" with little more dispatch be-
cause of the short vacation. Of these
the most important were the Mary
Ann" or second choice primary bill,
offered by Assemblyman Mcconnell,
and the nine bills drafted by the 1909
joint committee on banking.
The Mcconnell bill provides for ma
jority nominations at primary cleo
tions, instead of plurality choice, as
now provided. This is one of the most
notable reforms demanded in the last
Republican state platform, and which
has been demanded by the La Toilette
forces for about eight years.
The bill is designed to permit voters
to express their first and second
choices for nominees at a primary.
After the name of each voter on the
choice votes and the other for second
choice. When the vote is canvassed,
if there are more than two candidates,
and none has received a majority of
all the first choice votes, the first
choice votes of the lowest man are
eliminated and the second choice
votes cast by his supporters added to
the first choice votes of the others.
This ordinarily would give a majority,
but if there is no majority, the same
process of elimination is applied to the
lowest candidate on the reduced list.
This method finally results in the can
didate who received the largest total
support of both first and second choice
being nominated, and is declared to be
the only method by which majority
nomination can be effected. In the
old convention system "deadlocks"
might continue, but they always could
be broken. In the primary, however,
unless some proper method was in
augurated, deadlock might mean one
or two new elections.

Home Rule for Counties.

Assemblyman Frye Introduced a
joint resolution relating to taxes
which gives to the several counties
the right of home rule on this subject
so long as the method by which the
money Is raised does not in any way
conflict with the general laws of the
state. 1t is another Oregon idea.
The resolution provides that there
shall be no poll or head tax and that
no bill regulating taxation and ex-
emption shall go into effect until it Is
approved by the people at the regular
general election

Expect New Liquor Measures.

A number of new liquor measures
are expected. Agitation regarding
county option has developed the fact
that the county-optionists have up
their sleeves a tentative or compro-
mise plan, which will be offered in
the event that the regular county OPP
ton bill is defeated-which seems
quite certain.
This tentative proposal would make
the county the unit in counties where
the rural population exceeds the total
population of all cities in that county,
and the city the unit where the city
population Is the greater It Is conf
IDENTIFY expected that such a measure
will have easier shedding and no little
prospect Of passage, as it may have
the support of representatives from
counties which would not, under the
circumstances, become the voting
unit. In Milwaukee county, for in

Requires Segregation of Deposits.

Requires Segregation of Deposits.
Among the banking bills, the most
important is the one requiring the
segregation of savings and commercial
deposits. This bill will give the say.
ings depositors a prior lien on their
own money, instead of permitting, in
case of a failure, the operation of the
60-days' rule and subsequent diversion
of savings deposits to pay demand
checks in the commercial department
This bill will be strenuously fought by
the Wisconsin Bankers association,
although the National Bankers associ.
alton is said to have gone on record
in favor of it.
Another banking bill prohibits the
loaning of mutual savings banks
assets upon personal security Still
another requires directors of banks to
meet at least once a month, while
chains of banks" conducted from a
central point are aimed at in a fourth
measure. The rest are of minor impor
lance.

Device is Invented
to Prevent Accidents
in Air Navigation
New Workers Have Parachute At
tachment for Aeroplanes that Re-
duces Accidents to Minimum.

NEW YORK, July 22-An ingenious
parachute attachment for saving life when
an aeroplsne becomes for any reason I'M
manageable has been invented by Marius
! and Julius Marcucci Of this city.
In the event of an aeroplsne running
amuck In the air the pilot, II provided
with this life-saving device. would press
button and release the parachute. The
big, umbrella-like contrivanoe would lift
the seat out of the falling aeroplane and
allow the aviator to drop gently to the
ground.
In it's imperative or folded position the
parachute Is horizontally disposed above the
central line of the machine in the vicinity
OF the planes and just forward Of the seat
presenting the appearance of a skyrocket
The cords of the folded parachute are
attached to the operators seat When an
emergency occurs which makes II adj
visable FOR the operator to leave the aero
plane, he pulls a releasing cord, which
causes the parachute to up-end itself and
at the same time releases the binding
cords that hold the parachute cover around
the parachute. So long as the cover is
fastened around the parachute the para
chute springs, which tend all the time to
open II up, are held down like the wires
in a folded umbrella
Once the parachute is in It's vertical
position, however, and the cover removed
the springs open It up; and upon the
downward movement OF the acceptance, It
fills and lifts itself free from the standard
upon which II is mounted. All this occurs
automatically.
When the descent becomes sufficiently
rapid the parachute lifts the operators
seat from its bearings in the aeroplane
That is. II permits the aeroplane 70 drop
but retains the seat Thus. the operator
is gradually borne TO the ground by the
parachute, Notwithstanding any accident to
the aeroplane.
Instead Of attaching the parachute cords
to the operators seat as just explained
they may be attached to the aeroplane
itself In such a way that when the para
chute opens upon the descent Of the ma
chine 1t will tend to right the machine,
that is, to restore to It its proper balance
for gliding. When the parachute is thus
attached to a biplane there are preferably
three points of attachment, one near the
outer edge of each plane and one near
the rear of the machine. Then II the
machine loses It's equilibrium tho para
chute will serve to right IT or to restore
1t to it's equilibrium for gliding.
