ricultural education have finished it's

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp

imagine why Angie and Horatio, the

CAAu6tS PRObABLE
IN INSURANCE LAW
Nav Make WisCchsin'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, II. l..
Ekern~ were in the east short time
.go 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 gthat 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.
1t 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 APP
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 bill Is introduced proposing such
a 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
It will be no surprise IL bills cover
ing the above points are introduced
early in the session.

Committee Firm for Income Tax.

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 Sc Rotary 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; 21a per cent. is reached at
$4,000; three per cent. at $13,000;
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 1t 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 its
application and administration"

University Ethics.

President Van Hise of the University
whom Regent Trottman lauded to the
skies as a man filled with loftest OF
ideals and whose bright and shining eX-
ample to the youth of our state is OF
the most inspiring character, stands be-
fore the state, in the light of the recent
exposure of the Milwaukee Free Press,
as one who does not scruple to use his
high position in sordid manner for
his own enrichment During all the at.
tack upon Secretary Ballinger relative
to the Cunningham claims in Alaska,
Van Hise was backing up La Toilette
and others of the insurgent crowd with
the weight of his immaculate displeas-
ure at the land grabbing proclivities of
those robbers Of the peoples domain.
He was SO pure, so lofty, so patriotic,
so far removed from all sordid desire
that, us the old saying goes, "butter
would not melt in his mouth" Now
how is it?
The Free Press shows that he has
been using Prof. Leith and the stu
dents of the university in grabbing min
eral lands in Canada Just as the Cum
ningham people did IN Alaska. He
says he did nothing that was "illegal,"
Oh. no. Neither did Cunningham.
Oh, this La Toilette conscience, this
immaculate purity Of purpose which
would scorn to use the university for
personal or political ends. What n
hollow mockery it all is.
When the members Of the former
board of regents stood up against his
aggrandlzing and prosttuting policies,
Van Iise raised hue and cry aided 10y
his La Toilette hackers, that the re-
gents were opposing the Academic
freedom of our great uniyerSity,h the
freedom Of research, and lot more of
that sort of rot. There was not man
on that board who would not have scorn-
ed to use the university, its profess
or its students for his private gain as
has Van lIise. And this is Reform.
Conservation, Progressiveness and all
that, is it? 1t is sickening to think of.
And now his obedient tools in the leg
isIature are saddling the state with m
enormous outlay of expenditure for our

AND THIS A ROCKEFELLER!
Exchange His Cecrepit Kettle"
for New One.

Some folks believe that Percy
Rockefeller is the white hope of the
Rockefeller family, according to the
New York correspondent of the Gin
clnnati Times-Star. He is credited
with being wise and wary He keeps
a thumb on the public pulse, and
knows a lot of things about popular
sentiment that many other rich men
do not know. The other night he
went to a Broadway restaurant with a
party of friends. The restaurant is
rather a favorite OF his, and the i'm
mature pirate IN charge Of the hat
room had learned to know him. Mr..
Rockefeller handed him his mushed
and desiccat>d old brown hat as he
entered. 1t was a good hat-once. The
hat pirate looked on Mr.. Rockefeller
with pity in his gaze. By and by Mr,
Rockefeller's supper ended, and he re-
turned to the courtroom to retrieve his
bonnet. Instead of that decrepit old
brown lid the boy handed him a new
one of the same general form, and
bearing the label OF Americas most
expensive maker. 1t fitted Rockefeller
perfectly, but he handed it back.
This isn't my hat" he said.
Get wise, bo.' the hat pirate said.
Nudge by with it while you can. It's
worth ten OF them old kettles you
been wearin'."
Mr.. Rockefeller said that vas I'M
doubleday true. But he did not want
to rob an unknown of new hat.

The legislature of 1911 has been
snufled out, and its work now goes to
the people to be tested by the well
known rules of experience, the only
The multitude of new statutory enact
ments which it ground out is certain to
contain many things the people will
not approve. A number OF new offices
have been created and filed The
salaries of these offices are dispropor-
tionate to the earnings of the APP
pointees in private life. They are
disproportionate to the duties and
responsibilities of the office. The
state is today receiving more than
three times the income it received
fifteen years ago from corporations.
And yet it is provided that ten per cent
of the new income tax law shall go TO
it, twenty per cent to the counties and
only seventy per cent TO the taxing
districts. y = 1t is painfully evil
dent that the people are going to get
the full benefit of all the burdens
springing from all the reforms the
most visionary reformer ever dreamed
of. We are going to get the pure
quill right FROM the patentees OF re-
form with guarantee accompanying
it that it contains every ingredient OF
unadulterated progressiveism. But
let us wait year and learn how the
new tangled rules work; how they
affect the bread winners, manufacture
ers, farmers and business men. Ger
tain it is that they are not calculated
TO attract capital to our state; equally
certain that labor will not earn its
daily bread any easier than it did be-
fore their adoption, and more than a
lead pipe cinch that public burdens
will be materially increased. But we
must wait even though we are not
now satisfied that the condition of labor
will not be improved, that burdens
will be increased and capital driven
from the state because the period for
recovery from public insanity has not
yet expired We must let the disease
run its devastating course even though
fearful it may end in ruin. \ change
must come soon. This reign of pro-
digality and extravaganza must end
somewhere. viii it be in 1912? Let
us hope so. Weekly Madisonian.
