Official Report. Despite Moist
ure and Drouth.

Madison.-"The crop reports show
exceptional conditions in that one
section of the state reports excessive
moisture and others report extreme
drought" says Secretary r. w. Row
lands in his monthly statement.
1.-THE northeastern part of the state
has had so much rainfall that some
crops have suffered considerably. The
northern, western and central parts
have had sufficient rainfall and all
crops are and have been good with
the exception possibly of clover.
"The southeastern and central
parts have and are suffering with Sc
we're drought. Grains were hurried
to an immature ripening. Early corn
headed before attaining its usual
height and late corn must receive
rain soon.
"The condition of pastures is in
proportion to the rainfall received
in the respective localities.
Tobacco has enjoyed an excep-

INCOME TAX UP TO
SUPREME COURT
n. w. BOLENS OF PORT WASH
iNGTON PETITIONS AGAINST
APPLICATION OF LAW.
CALLS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Action Seeks to Prevent Payment Of
Commissions Bills and Appoint
mont of Asssssors-Case viii Be
Heard at September Term.

Madison.-The first step toward
testing the cOnstitutfonality of the
income tax law was taken when
Carpenter & Poss, as attorneys for
Harry W. Bolens of Port Washing
ton, filed a petition with Attorney
General Bancroft. praying that he
would move in the supreme court at
the opening Of the September term
for leave to bring action to enjoin
Secretary of State Frear from audit
ing the salaries and bills of the as
SCISSORS Of incomes, State Treasurer
Dahl from paying any such bills
or salaries and the members of the
tax commission from appointing any
assessors, deputies or assistants and
fixing their salaries.
The petition was refused by the
attorney general and Immediately
filed with the supreme court by the
petitioner who will bring suit in his
own name. The matter will be TAX
en- up when the supreme court meets
on Sept. ~.
1t Is claimed in the petition, that
certain chapters and sections of
the income tax law are null
and void on account of being in
violation Of the state and federal
constitutions, in that they impose a
retrospective tax upon source of
taxation never heretofore taxed in
Wisconsin" thereby depriving many
persons In the state of certain in
herent rights" Section 1087m-I 1t is
claimed, violates the Wisconsin con-
stitution in addition to imposing a
retrospective tax, as it deprives the
petitioner and others of their prop
erty without due process of law and
violates the rule that taxation shall
be uniform.

the legislature in the administration
of the inheritance tax law. The

the indications are that nearly as
large sum will be received this
year. This money is clear "velvet"

torney John Harrington Of Oshkosh
as inheritance tax Investigator, and
he is devoting all of his time to his
new work. The commission has just
sent out letter to county judges,
public administrators and other off,
Gals, calling their attention to the
provisions of the new laws recently
passed respecting the administration
of the inheritance tax law.
Under the law, IN per cent of all
Inheritance taxes collected Is pay
able to the county and the balance
to the state. The law requires no.
