A great quality about Governor

The probability is that the legal

PROPOSED INCOME

a, Tho Wisconsin legislature has Just
PASSED q Bill providing for a state In
come tax, whose operation depends
upon the approval of majority of the
voters at the general election in No
.yember, 1912. The bill proposes a tax
on all incomes OF individuals, firms
and corporations, ranging from one
half of / to per cent. and exempts
the corporations which pay taxes dt-
rectly into the State treasury, such as
railroads and insurance companies
1T allows an eemption for an unmar-
ried person Of $1,000 year, with $500
additional for every person dependent
on the taxpayer for support. 1t fixes
the married mans exemption at $1,000
with an additional 5000 for every
minor child or other person dependent
on him for SUPPORT W.
q Thus Wisconsin becomes the first
state to make definite headway tot
ward the working out Of this perplex!
ling problem, agitated alike in state
and federal forums. The provisions
| Of the bill are apparently not unfairly
drawn; the exemptions are much
more liberal than those contained in
most European laws and would not be
regarded as a. hardship on any, par
Itioularly II, as 1t must be assumed,
this taation is to take the place tot
some other taxi being levied. oFl

thority as that involved in drafting
constitution. Moved by this crit
icism. the national assembly resolved
not to assume the power to make
constitution, but to leave that task
TO parliament to be elected in the
near future.
AT one time the assembly discussed
the question whether 1t should not
dissolve. owing to the attitude of the
provincial assemblies and Of the Lam
Chan troops, who have showed mark
ed activity In suggestions and de-
mands Of a political nature. but the
members decided that they could no;
lay down their functions until a new
parliament was ready to take them
up. While the discussion was going
on the government issued an edict
instructing the assembly, to take
steps for the election of a parlia-
ment.
Meanwhile Yuan-Shi-Kai has re-
fused TO assume the duties Of the
premiership, to which he has been
called, in spite Of the most urgent
appeals from the court and the ma
tional assembly; the revolutionary
leader, Li-Yuen-Heng, appears to be
intent upon substituting a republi-
can form Of government for the pres
ent monarchy, and Generall Chang.
the commander Of the Lan-Chan
troops. has declined an appointment
to act as imperial envoy to proceed
to the Yang-Tse provinces and en-
deavor to conciliate the people there.
IL is apparently his purpose to play
a part In the scenes likely to be en-
acted In and about the capital. There
seems to be uncertainty and confus-
lon. The emperor is a child not six
years old. the regent, Prince Chun.
Is said to be incapable Of connected
thought. and the other members Of
the court and the mobiles appear to
have no plan Of action. In the south
