DISCUSS Tx LAWS
Chester Barnes and Com.
missioner Haugen Have
Interesting Debate.
LOCAL ATTORNEY OPPOSES LAW

Chairman Nils P. Haugen Of the
state tax commission discounted the
claim that the income tax will discour-
age manufacturing and asserted that
if anything it. will encourage indus
tries speaking on the income tax be-
fore the Saturday Lunch Club in Madi-
son recently. Attorney Chester D.
Barnes of Kenosha attacked the law
in detail, and declared it would drive
industries out Of Wisconsin, He said
it was theoretically perfect but prac-
tically imperfect. Chairman Haugen
incidentally made reference to dis
covery that man in Vernon county
lis entitled to an exemption Of $4,000
for himself, his wife and twelve child
rem under eighteen years Of age.
Mr. Haugen laid stress upon the
difficulty of assessing personal prop
erty, pointing to the fact, by way Of
example, that in six of the seventy
one counties Of Wisconsin, no assess
ment whatever Of monies and credits
was made. These counties included
Douglas, with the second largest city
in the state. He said it is much hard
er to assess personal property in a
large community than in small cities
or rural districts.
Explaining the effect Of the in
come tax on local revenues, Mr.. Hau-
gen referred to the fact that the tax
is certified back TO the localities be-
fore November /, in time for county
and town boards and city councils to
take it into consideration in making
up their budgets and reducing their
local tax rate if desired. That the
income tax is local tax, he said, IS
proven by the provision that % Per
cent IS to be retunsd % the town,
city or village in which it was col
lecte1, 20 per cent goes to the county
and lie per cent TO the state.
Mr. Barnes declared that The nat.
ural consequence OF the law will be
that the manufacturer will escape the
tax if be possibly can, and that he
will be liable to shift it upon his la
borers, the wage learners. He said
that making public one private f
nancial affairs, even to one ofilcial
lis distasteful to the average man.

SPEAKS BEFORE MEMS CLUB
Well Known Chicago Stun Worker Tells
of Great Work Being Done to Keep
Men From Starving in Congested Dis
tricts Of Chicago.
( @a.-.sr..e...-.-.-.-.s

What may justly be termed the
banner meeting of the Mems Club of
st. Matthews Parish was held lat
Guild Hall Tuesday evening. The oc-
casion was Ladies Night not the
ordinary Ladies Night, at which
the gentler sex are invited to hear an
interesting talk on some subject or
another with Light refreshments serv-
ed afterwards, but an innovation in
the shape of having the ladies sit
down to supper. A very inviting re-
past was served by the Ladies Aid
Society and after the ladies had visit
ed in the upper part of the building
and the men had smoked in the smok-
ing room, everyone sat down to listen
to a most interesting and fascinating
talk by Malcolm Mcdowell, founder
of the Bread Line in the city of
Chicago and who is, as the Tribune
says, one of the city's great men.
Mr.. Mcdowell for exactly one hundred
nights during the past winter served
anywhere from three hundred ; to
eighteen hundred homeless and hungry
men with coffee and rolls. issuing a
total Of $4,000 cups, an average Of
eight hundred per night. He describ-
ed the bread line in detail telling of
the different characters that go to
make up the fotsam and jetsam of a
great city Here may be found grad
yates from the principal universities
in the country. In fact there was a
regular University Club in the Bread
Line. Mr.. McDowell's description Of
the different lodging houses was most
interesting; the dop' or 5 cent
place, the g clubhouse or 10 cent
place and the Auditorium or 20
and 25 cent place. Conditions in Chi
cage during the past winter as de-
scribed by Mr. Mcdowell were most
appalling. 1t was probably a great
surprise to many Of his listeners to
know that the vast army Of men fed
every night was composed not of
hobos but mainly of men out of
work, not from preference but because
they could not obtain it. As a rene
dy Mr.. Mcdowell suggested closer
intimacy between employer and en-
ployee, a little more Of the friendly
and brotherhoo1 spirit in getting an
unfortunate out of work job rather
than giving as matter Of form to
charity and continuing to help even
at the cost Of denying ones self
some little luxury.
Mr.. McDowell's address was listen
led to very attentively by about one
hundred and fifty members of the
club and their ladies and the eontinu
led applause at its close was sufficient
evidence that it was thoroughly ap-
preciated by all.

CHEERED BY VOTE IN MADISON
For First Time Prohibitionists Make
Big Showing in Capital City and
Will Seek to Use This as Lever for
Bigger Gains in the State

Wisconsin Prohibitionists are great
lly elated over the results Of last
Tuesdays election. They made a sur
prising run in Madison, casting 1888
votes for their candidate for mayor,
carrying three precincts, one more
than the Republicans. They in
creased any previous vote in Milwau-
kee by nearly so per cent, and the
state presidential preferential vote in
dicates nearly as many votes as were
cast at the general election for gov
ernor two years ago. The Prohibs
carried Norrie in Marathon county for
the third time and with a larger
majority They cast more primary
votes in Marinette City than they did
in the entire county two years ago
and trebled the vote for Taylor
county. The Prohibs had two candi-
dates for president in the primary
ballot, Eugene w. Chain and Oliver
w. Stewart. Both are popular lead
ers and represent two factions in the
party, the mid-roaders ard the pro
gressives. Returns so far received
indicate that Chafn is in the lead.
Chairman Smith counts these re-
turns as a vindication of his mid-road
policy, which calls for Prohobitionists
to cut out all popular vote aud nom
partisan methods and stick exclusive
Fly to party building. There has been
much discussion in the ras.ks Of the
drys' as to the wisdom OF the
course. The election returns Of last
Tuesday seem to indicate the mid
road policy hasn't broken up the
party at any rate as the other side
has been claiming.
The next event in the cold-water
campaign will be big state .conven-
ton in Madison June II and y, post
poned from last February It con
templates 1000 men delegates and
1000 women delegates, It will be
preceded by whirl-wind tour of the
state by Eugene W. Chain who will
attend about twenty-five county con
ventions, and address, in addition,
about thirty-fve public meetings.
Banquets will be held in connection
with many Of these conventions nota-
bly, at Elkhorn, Monroe, Reedsburg,
Lacrosse and Sparta. Madison Pro-
hibs are planning for big jolHfca-
ton banquet on April 18th or 10th in
honor Of their city campaign commit
tee and candidates.
The plans for the new Prohibition
state paper, s'The Partisan, are now
nearly completed. A large circulation
for it is anticipated as much interest
was manifested in the first number
circulated some time ago. State
