TIE INCOME rAx LAW WILL sraso

The supreme court has placed its O.
K on the newly enacted income tax
law passed by the late legislature, and
it will now be in order for every citi-
zen of the commonwealth to prepare
to entertain an inquisitor who comes by
state authority to pry into every phase
OF personal and business life. Notwitn-
standing the fact that seventeen states
have tested and found an income tax law
to be failure, in practical results, the
Wisconsin legislature considered it nee
essary to try this fad in attempts to
squeeze more revenue from people to
meet the swiftly increasing state taxa
ton. McGovern says the income tax
is right; McGoyern probably has never
paid much tax of any character, his
usual occupation being Office holding,
and struggling for more Office. He
even upholds that feature of the in
come tax which compels home owners
to pay an income on their homes after
having contributed their regular real
estate tax on the same
Anyway, let US give the new fad an
honest test, for to do away with it

Many Wisconsin farmers who have
heard so much about the productive
ness Of the irrigated states will be sur
prised to hear that an acre each of
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, and
flax is of greater value in Wisconsin
than in the irrigated states, and the
Wisconsin farmer does not have to buy
water nor lead it round in little creek
let's over his farm with hoe and rub
Der boots and bad temper. Compar-
ing Wisconsin's 1911 crop with that of
Colorado. and taking the Novem Der
farm value of each as shown by the
United States crop reporter the aggre-
gate value of an acre each of the above
mentioned crops is more than $40
greater in Wisconsin than in Colorado.
The statistical department of the Wis
consin Advancement association soon
will have the figures worked out as ap-
plying to the other IRRIGATED states and
this comparison will be the best of rea-
sons why the Wisconsin farmer should
be satisfied that he located in the right
state and stayed there.
