TUBERCULAR WAR
PLANNED BY STATE
Wisconsin Veterinarian Would
Eradicate Diseased Cattle.
HARTWIG STARTS CAMPAIGN
Civil Service Examination Is to Be
Held to Determine the Fitness Of
Candidate for Permission to
Administer the Test.

Madison.-A systematic campaign
for the eradication of tuberculosis from
the dairy and beef herd of Wisconsin
Is contemplated by State Veterinarian
II. A. HartWig No longer will the adj
ministration of tuberculin test be au-
thorized by the department, said Doc
tor HartWig, except at the hands OF
qualified persons. To get at the source
OF contamination as well as to get rid
Of responding individuals in the herd
will be the aim of the department in
it's future work and to this end he
plans to locate deputy Of the depart
ment in every part Of the state. A
searching civil service examination is
to be first held to determine the fit
ness Of candidates for permission to
administer the test. Then instructions
will be given that when herds are
found to be infected clinical examin-
alton of the individuals of the herd
shall be made by competent veteri-
marian to discover any chronic cases
therein.
The new tuberculin law, Doctor
Hartwig thinks, will prove more salts
factory than the former regulation, in
that while it does not make the test
compulsory it offers to the owner
greater inducement to cooperate with
the department. The maximum com
pensation for condemned animals is
raised from $55 to $50.
Then, too, the doctor said that 1t
would be the aim of the department
TO protect owners from needless sacri-
fee of valuable animals.
Doctor Hartwig further explained
chat while the law provides an In
creased compensation for slaughtered
animals at present, all compensation
is to cease after July 1, 1913. This will
tend to put the herd owner on his
guard. This will tend to cooperation
on the part of owners and as soon. as
cool weather comes the doctor ex-
poets a lively campaign.

May Grant Concessions.


The efforts of the state board OF
agriculture to secure the same con-
cessio1 for horse exhibitors at state
and county fairs, as is granted cattle,
sheep and swine exhibitors, promises
to be favorably acted upon by the rail
roads.
In communication from ]. NJ. Win
terbotham, secretary of the railroad
commission, to William MacLaren, it
is made clear that the railroads may
place exhibits of horse breeders and
exhibitors in the same classification
with exhibitors of other live stock.

matter of the construction Of chapter
362, laws of Wisconsin for 1905, 1 W.

which it was held in effect that while
carriers might, of their own volition,

some particular class of individuals
than that provided for tbs general

The civil service commission has
denied the application of State Forest
er E. M. Griffith for permission to ap-
point Bryan j. Castle as temporary
special examiner in the forestry de
partment. The department soon will
have considerable work in the way of
examination of titles Of land to be pur-

The commission held, however, that it
had an eligible list from which ap-
pointments may be made, and that Mr..

Complains Of Notaries.


Complaint was made to Governor
McGovern by Capt. F. H. Magdeburg,
pension agent at Milwaukee, against
the practice of notaries in antedating
vouchers. The law specifically forbids
such an act. The complaint was di.
rected against Frank H. Denison.
notary at Sheboygan, who dated July
on a voucher effective July 4. The
postmark of the voucher, however.
read July 3.
Captain Magdeburg submitted the
matter to Governor McGovern, and
Denison was served with an order to
show cause why his commission
should not be revoked He filed an af-
fidavit, stating that he became mixed
up" In regard to the date, inasmuch as
July 2 fell on Sunday and July 4 was
holiday.
Governor McGovern notified Deni-
son that his license will not be re-
voked, but any like transgression will
bring to him revocation. Captain
Magdeburg expects to send the papers
to the United States commissioner of
pensions for such action as that Of
fetal may desire to take.

Corporations Pay Heavy State Tax.
That Wisconsin derives about sew
enty-one per cent. of it's total state
taxes from corporations and that this
percentage Is the greatest of any of
the eastern central states, is point
made in a report on state taxation of
corporations prepared by Herbert
Knox Smith of the bureau of corpora
tions and submitted to the president
by Secretary Nagel of the department
Of commerce and labor at Washing
ton, D. c.
The report affords a concise COM
parison between the tax laws Of the
states in the light of judicial decisions,
practical administration and revenue
returns. Other reports already submit
ted cover the New England and mid
die Atlantic states. Mr.. Smith says in
part:
Michigan and Wisconsin make elab-
crate physical valuation Oh steam and
street railway property, which. with
earning capacity, forms the basis of
state administered ad@valorem taxes.
Reversing the tendency almost univer-
sal elsewhere, these two states have,
with respect to the taxation of rail
roads, gone from the modern gross
earnings method to the ad valorem
tax. They also use extensively the cav
erage rate" method, /. e., applying to
certain public service corporations a
rate which is the average of the state
and various local rates.
'All of this group exempt shares of
stock in the hands of holders, when
the corporate property is taxed"

ROOSEVELT OFFERS

Brought vividIy Before People Nssf
Of Bringing Order Out of Chaotic
Government Policy as Regards Big
Business.

New York, Nov. 16-Recent litiga-
tion and legislation to regulate the
trust is discussed and a remedy to
meet the present situation is suggested
by Theodore Roosevelt in an editorial
entitled The Trusts, the People and
the Square Deal" published today in
the Outlook.
"The suit against the steel trust by
the government" Mr.. Roosevelt begins
has brought vividly before our people
the need of reducing to order our cha
otic government policy as regards bus
mess
He concludes with the following rec
concentrations:
"The national government exercises
control over interstate commerce rail-
ways and it can, in similar fashion
thru an appropriate governmental
body, exercise control over all industrial
organization engaged in interstate com
merce. This control should be exercised
not by the court but by an ad'
ministrative bureau or board such as
the bureau of corporations or the In
terstate commerce commission for the
court can not with advantage perma-
nently perform executive and admin
istrative functions"
Before taking up his general theme
Mr. Roosevelt pauses to deny that the
representatives Of the steel corporation
misled him while he was president.

Of the attack upon the constitutionality
of the law, but that the attorney gen.
eral is anxious that the criminal case,
which was to have commenced Mon
day, be pushed to an early conclusion.
1t is declared by the government
lawyers that substantially the Same
kind of case was brought by the
packers before Judge Carpenter last
June. when the points now raised be-
fore Judge Kohlsaat were overruled.
The action at that time was upon a
demurrer filed by the packers.
A few days after Judge Carpenter
made his ruling the supreme court de-
cided the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases. The packers then asked for
a rehearing upon the demurrer, using
the two new decisions as grounds.
Judge Carpenter denied that motion.
Possibility of the packers being tried
before Judge Carpenter Monday has
practically ended. regardless of what
action Judge Kohlsaat may take.
