Income Tax Proven a Failure.

''The income tax has proven fall
ure and farce in every state which
ever tried it and has been repealed by
all of them" said Attorney General
Bancroft before leaving for his Euro
pean trip on Saturday.
eff | were governor | would call a
special session of the legislature to re-
peal the income tax law, which is, in
my opinion, a disgrace to the state.
The only purpose of its passage was
to create another board of petty office
holders and the revenue derived from
the tax will scarcely suffice to pay their
salaries. If this substitute for the per-
sonal property tax proves failure the
only thing left for taxation will be real
estate. That will mean the farmer
and the already overburdened and over
taxed agricultural interests of the state
will be called upon to meet the deficit
of extravaganza in state expenses
which now cost upward of $12, 900, 900 a
year, and all of this enormous revenue
is expended on experimental legislation
such as state prison binder Irvine plants
and abandoned farms for the university
at 81, 900 per acre for the benefit of
Madison real estate spectators.
''The income tax has already driven
capital from the state. individuals and
industrial corporations have changed
their place of residence and have taken
with them their property, which here
tofore paid liberal portion of the pub
lie revenue. 1t stultifies the individual.
1t encourages perjury. It humiliates
and degrades the dignity of American
citizenship by subjecting the individual
to inquisitorial interference in his priv
ate affairs and his personal credit by
prying tax ferret who enforces his de-
mands upon the farmer and the bust
nessman alike by threats of criminal
prosecution.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-06-21

WILL some one, with the verbosity
characteristic of his political genius,
kindly give an inquisitive taxpayer but
one brief reason for the existence of
the princely salaried tax commission
with its retinue of highly compensated
funkies? No matter how many de-
tenders it may have, it is an indefensi-
BILE institution, absolutely useless for
any purpose, and bit of extravaganza
no well conducted government ought
ever to engage in. This state develop
ed rapidly without it. 1t got along
during infancy, its weakest period,
without it and made progress which is
today looked upon as truly marvellous.
Why, then, does it need it now? To
equalize taxes? There is no such thing
as equalizing taxes among people whose
business enables them to shift burdens.
The only benefits any governmental
agency can possibly confer on taxpay-
ers is to keep taxes down. This is not
what the tax commission does, or tries
to do. Then they spend two hundred
thousand year to maintain it.-Madi-
sonian.

SIR WILLIAM RAMSEY one of Eng
lands famous scientists, says there is
absolutely nothing, so far as he can
see, to prevent bore-hole from being
put down until the coal stratum is
reached and setting of the coal on fire
by electricity, thus converting the coal
in the bowels of the earth directly into
gas. Air would be sent down to enable
the coal to burn, the amount of air be-
ing restricted when sufficient heat had
been engendered; steam would be sent
down to provide a mixture of hydrogen
and carbonic oxide, or water-gas; great
gas engines would be mounted at the
mouth of the pit or bore-hole, and the
gas would be used to develop electric
power for distribution throughout Eng
land. A page illustration in the July
Popular Mechanics Magazine shows
how this unique idea might be worked
out.

The eyes of the country have been
turned toward Chicago where the re-
publican national convention is in ses-
sion this week and bitter struggle is
on for supremacy. The Taft forces
secured the first advantage in electing
Senator Root as chairman, but the
nomination cannot yet be foretold. The
ruction in the Wisconsin delegation that
occurred Tuesday is likely to have a
far-reaching effect upon politics of this
state. The convention seems to be
bluff proof and the only chance for
Roosevelt to win lies in a bolt.

Safe and Sane Fourth.

independence day is coming. Shall
it be a day of death, mutilation, lock-
jaw, powder-poisoning and devastation
by fire, or shall it be safe and sane, ed
ucational, with healthful games and
amusements? 1t is up to each city,
town and village to decide.
All intelligent citizens must realize
that the insane and barbarous manner
of celebrating the Fourth does not
teach patriotism, and has nothing to
recommend it.
The revolt against the insane and
barbarous manner of celebrating this
historic holiday has brought excellent
results. The deaths and accidents last
year were fewer than in any previous
year on record.
The state fire marshal calls attention
to Chapter 313, Laws of 1911, which
reads as follows: ''No person shall
or bring into the state for use therein,
any skyrockets, fireworks or frecrack-
ers containing pieric acid, pierates,
mixture of dynamite or other high eX-
pounded of any of the foregoing or
OCner nlgn explosive mixtures, expo
sive canes using blank cartridges or
explosive paper caps, blank cartridge
pistols, or any firecrackers more than
three inches in length and one-half Of
an inch in diameter"
A penalty of $50 to 500 fine, or one
to six months Imprisonment, or both
fine and Imprisonment is fixed.
Attention is called to Section 4397a
of the Revised Statutes, which section
prohibits the use, sale and possession
of toy pistols, toy revolvers or top fire
arms, under heavy penalty.

ONE Of the most valuable assets some
men have in business is their record
for truthfnlness. That is capital in
itself. When man lets the report
get out that he will tell lie to make a
sale, to cover up some business trans
action. or otherwise dishonesty get
hold oil a dollar, his success in bus
mess is endangered. Many men have
built up great businesses from small
capital by telling the truth.-Ex.

ing for his job, and Attorney Prosser
believed that a partnership between
Wilson and Link McCandless was strong
enough to satisfy any board as to the
financial ability of the parties con
cerned.
1t was pointed out to him that Wilson
was the bidder on the contract, and
that McCandless' 3 name did not appear
in any of the papers in the case.
Objections were made from time to
time, Deputy Sutton holding that any
animus which the members of the board
had toward Wilson personally had moth
ing to do with the case as long as
they did not believe him to be re-
sponsible bidder on this piece of work.
Has Strong Ahidavit.
Attorney Prosser has an affidavit
from d. D. Baldwin, manager o. "a
waiian Sugar company, as to Wilson b
work on Kauai in which he states that
he was a most competent road builder.
Baldwin states that if he had been
member of the loan fund commission
he would have awarded the contract for
the Heeia road to Wilson. Prosser
hopes to be able to introduce this afii-
davit in testimony.
CITY Engineer Gere and others were
in attendance on court yesterday but
were not called to the stand, being ex-
eused until this morning.
Chairman Andrew Adams of loan
fund commission is coming in from
KahulSu this morning and win be

that besides doing Wilson out Of the

hall, it. was decided by a large majority

prosperity as they are In a measure
