capltoI at Madison Is Y.ars


Seventy-five years ago the city
Of Madison was chosen by the
members Of the first territorial legis-
lsture as the location of the capitol OF
the state of Wisconsin.
There were at the time many other
cities Of the state which were appeal
ing for the honor of containing the
chief ofices and capitol building OF
the state. but after system OF lobby
ing had been INDUCED in which would
have done credit or discredit to any
succeeding legislature, Madison re-
ceiyed a majority of the votes Of the
members and preparations for the
erection of the legislative hall was
commenced. In the whole of Dane
county at that time there were but
thirty persons, men, women and little
children.
Henry Dodge had been appointed
governor of the territory OF VISION
sin, established by act of congress on
April so. 1896, and on July 4 of the
same year the new officers were in
augurated. and in his inaugural ad-
dress the governor spoke OF the diff
culties Of selecting a place for the
capitol of the state.
Immediately after the converting OF
the territorial legislature men began
TO appear at Belmont, where the ses-
sions were being held, and presenting
the claims and qualifications of Fond
du Lac, Portage, Dubuque. Milwaukee,
Racine. Belmont, Mineral Point, Platte
Vile. Cassville, koshkonong, Wiscon-
sinapolis. Wisconsin City and Peru.
1t was finally left to James Duane
Doty to pick the site for the future
capital.
Judge Doty. afterward delegate to
congress and later governor OF the
territory OF Wisconsin, and still later
governor OF Utah, fixed upon the 18TH
mus between the third and fourth OF
the four lakes. and in conjunction with
stephens T. Mason purchased from
the government about 1000 acres in
sections 10. IA, % and "a, upon the
four common corners OF which the
capitol now stands He was then APP
pointed chairman of the capitol build
ing commission.
The cornerstone of the first capitol
of Wisconsin was laid on July 4,
1887, The legislature did not meet in
Madison I'll in 1888, and the new capt
tol, not being in sufficient stage OF
completion, that body met in the
basement OF the American house,
where Governor Dodge delivered his
annual address. The federal govern
ment appropriated 10000 for the erec-
ton of the capitol. Dane county added
$4,000 and the territorial legislature
$4,000 more. making a total cost OF
about 100000

Madison.--Dr A. II. Hartwig OF Wa
tertown resigned as state veterinarian,
following a hearing before the COVER
nor, on charges preferred against him
by the live stock sanitary board. The

W. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
tbs great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor. writes w. J.. Douglas. former
governor Of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudiees against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattairable. They employ able
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear.
plain and definite that II could not be
misunderstood 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the

countant There should be board
Of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma,
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the dlrec-
torates of these companies.

U. S. and state Clash.

The United States government,
through a writ of hRbeas corpus is
sued by Judge Sanborn at Madison,
brought to sudden termination ths
criminal action in the state courts
here against two Indians. members OF
the Bad River tribe at Odanah. who
had been arrested by deputy gar
war lens for violating the state law
by hunting out of season on their own
reservation.
Since the Indians were arrested, two
months ago, the United States Indian
commissioner has determined to make
test cases and establish the right OF
the Indians TO hunt and fish on their
own reservations. The state game
warden has been insistent that the
state laws should cover Indian reser.
yations and his deputies were instruct.
ed to vigorously prosecute the cases.
The trial of the Indians was to have
come up at Ashland, but United States
Marshal Pugh appeared there with a
writ OF habeas corpus. commanding
the sheriff TO take the two Indians UNI
der arrest to Madison before Judge
Sanborn.

Pays Tribute to Wisconsin.

The layman and the professor are
an excellent combination for the bust
ness of lawmahng and nowhere out
side of Germany has the plan been
adopted with such remarkable success
as in Wisconsin. This is the tribute
to Wisconsin paid by DR. Zollmann, a
distinguished professor of political
economy at Freiberg, Geimany, who
is making a study OF conditions here.
Just as in Germany the nations
ablest specialists are requisitioned to
study and frame legislation upon spe.
cial subjects, In the same way is this
being done in Wisconsin, Herr Zoll-
mann finds. In Germany the plan or
the proposed laws is made by the ex.
perts, OF whom the universities fur
nish many, but It's adoption is left to
the national lawmakers. He found an
exact parallel In Wisconsin, where the
policy regarding proposed laws is left
to the Legislators after experts in the
state legislative reference library and
the university draw up the form and
text of bills

Income La 70 eIve 81 .ooo.ooo


1t is estimated by X. K. KEENAN, su
pervisor Of the income tax, that the
state will realize at least $1,000, 900
from the tax the first year.
Just now the onstitutionaltiy or
tho law is undetermined. the question
having been put up to the state SUI
preme court
Mr.. KEENAN, maintains that the
laws exemptions are too high The
exemption is placed at $500 for sin
gle man, 1900 for married couple,
with an addition of 5000 for each per
son dependent upon that couple. Mr..
KEENAN, holds that the exemptions
should have been $500 for single men
and 81 900 for married men. He says
the exemptions release a large bulk
of the population from the tax. The
Wisconsin laws exemptions are
shown to be much higher than the av-
erage foreign countries, There is a
