International Association Kills
Proposition of National.
TWIN EXHIBITION HOPELESS
Wisconsin and Minnesota Organixa-

Illinois FIRST Show Was Held Hero
Two Years Ago.

Milwaukee.-The proposition of
the National Dairy Show association
to combine with the international
Dairy Show association this year and
hold single show In Chicago in Oc-
tober was turned down by directors
of the latter organization in the of
fee OF Manager IL. w. Claflin this
noon.
The action OF the Wisconsin Or
ganlzation concludes negotiations of
several months standing, by which
the National Dairy Show hackers
have endeavored to combine the two
shows.
The National Dairy show was held
for the first time in the Auditorium,
two years ago this fall. Although it
was understood that Milwaukee
would be the permanent location of
the show, the directors decided to
hold it in Chicago the following
year Their withdrawal from Mil
waukee resulted in the organization
of the International Dairy Show as
ISOLATION by Wisconsin and Mime
sofa stock breeders and dairymen.
This year the dates of the two
shows, October 90 to 81, coincide,
and 1t was suggested that the two
organizations combine in the hold
ing of a circuit of expositions in the
larger dairying centers this fall with
the last of the series in Chicago. This
proposition was turned down, the Off
GERS of the International association
being OF the opinion that plans for
the Milwaukee exposition had pro-
crossed too far to permit of change
at this time.

NINE ROYALTY UNDER TAX
State Commissioner Holds Fact IL Is
Depletion of Capital Makes
No Exemption.

Madison. Mine royalties are tax
able in Wisconsin as income after al.
lowing for depreciation. This decl-
sion by the state tax commission is
the elimination of series of hear
ings in which mine owners from all
sections of Wisconsin appeared be-
fore the commission, claiming that
mine royalties were NOT income tax
able under the income tax law.
The DIRECTORS asserted that royal
ties were depletion of the original
capital.
Certainly the day laborer is ex-
hausting his capital every day he
works, yet his wage or salary Is
plainly subject to tax, says the
opinion.
