COMMANDMENTS Fon WIVES.

Madame Meeterlinck has given on,
decalogue for the guidance of wives
GOOD sense and diplomacy are ut the
base of these mandates. Here are her
suggestions. In BRIEF Wait on your
husband yourself; get out the proper
clothes for him to put on every day
smooth over all the rough places; be
sweet when he is oat OF humor; laugh
when he Is say feed him before you
tondle him; be silent when you think
he is wrong-just look at him: don't
ask him to walk If he doesn't want
TO; be good cook; save his money.
The final commandment is to not lose
sight of the fact that you are his
superior in more ways than ne is
yours. There ought to be a law en-
forcing these commandments. and. as
the next General Assembly VIII have
little to do. this matter should receive
its careful consideration.

tended nothing of the sort, and Will
exercise the income taxing power con
currently with. the Federal authorities
The Legislature has already passed n
measure imposing State income tax
which Is far moro radical than any
| other State has attempted.
This act provides that all incomes
OF $500 or upwards per annum must be
reported to the tax assessor. A TAX of
per cent. Is levied on all incomes Of
$500 or over in the case of unmarried
people, and $1,000 and over il the
recipient is welded The rate increases
ohe-half of per cent on each addi
uonal $1,000 of income Incomes above
Sl2'eoo have TO pay per cent. The
salaries OF Federal oi.-cers. State lesis-
ia'ors, executive oficeholders and pen
sioners are exempt from this tax.
State income taxes have generally
proved unsuccessful, Comparatively
Few men Will tell the truth about their
incomes The result is inequality and
unfairness. The man with q $4,000 in

cent, viii! be inclined 10 move to an
other State. where incomes are not
taxed
All people cannot leave Wisconsin.

amendment, the people vi Wisconsin
VIII have the high privilege OF paying
Z double tax upon their incomes AS
suming tina; such double income tax
existed. II can be readily seen thar the
burden would soon prove unpopular.
with the inevitable result that the peo-
pie would remove the only income
tax in their power to remove-the
State tax. That would simply bring
about the result that the State by
ceding power which 1t should have
retained for its exclusive exercise,
would lose what should be a good
source of revenue to it.
