INCOME TAX WISCONSIN.

The Leader, Victor Berger's Socialist news
paper in Milwaukee, does not understand why
it is that few workmen or farmers have an
income in excess of $500 yearly. If represen-
tative government has been restored in Wis
eonsin, he asks rather sarcasticaiiy. why are in
comes SO low, and intimates that II represen-
tstive government does not make for prosper
ity. there is little use in it.
MIR. Berger 10 too pessimistc about the ma
teTiai prosperity of the workers and farmers
of Wisconsin and too optimistic about their
honesty in declaring their incomes for taxa
ton. He gets his figures as to the number of
those receiving more than $500 annually, If
single, and $1,000, II married, from the income
tax list. In Virginia we have learned that the
income tax list Is the last place to which to go
to learn the amount OF mans income

Points Out That Municipality Is
Seldom Reimbursed for

Mayor Gaynor does not intend 70 have
any permits for the discharge of fire
works in the city limits authorized, even
II they are asked by political associa-
tons Of the Democratic variety Nester-
day he disapproved OF two resolutions OF
the Board OF Aldermen suspending the

Democratic leader OF the 10th District,
and the latter is Of the club OF Mr.. Nc
Manus, leader OF the llth District. They
are TO have their summer outings in
August, and wanted permission to set off
fireworks In front of their clubhouses on
their return in the evening.
Mayor Gaynor pointed out In III. veto
message that the courts have decided that
the city In granting permission for such
exhibitions holds itself liable to damages
for personal injury, death or injuries
to property which may be caused by the
setting of Of the fireworks The courts

THE giving OF such a bond will not re-
store tho lives lost or tho limbs shat

seldom, II ever, been able TO recover on
such bond. You will remember how
scores OF persons were killed and manned
by the explosion OF fireworks set off by
a candidate running for Office about ten
years ago, For tho deaths and injuries
caused thereby the city has paid 500 ooQ,
but has not thus far been reimbursed 10
