STEEL CASE STARTED
FIRST STEP is TAKEN TO Dis
SOLVE BIG TRUST.
Special Examiner Begins Taking Tes-
tmony at New York-Big Array
of Legal Lights Take Part.

New York, May 6.-An important
step in the governments suit to dis
solve the United States Steel corpora
ton was taken here today when Spe-
cial Examiner Henry P. Brown of Phil
adelphia began the taking of testi-
mony in the United States customs
house
Even greater interest than that
manifested in the Standard Oil case
hearings, which were held in this
same building four years ago, is being
taken in the steel trust case. This is
due in part to the startling revelations
brought to light by the Stanley investi-
eating committee, and the prominent
part that ex-President Roosevelt play
ed in the absorption of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the steel
trust. 1t is mainly on this ground the
government bases rs suit to dissolve
the trust, and it rs not unlikely that
the ex-president will be called upon to
repeat the testimony that he gave be-
fore the Stanley committee in New
York last summer.
An imposing array of legal talent,
headed by Lindabury, Depue and
Paulks, looks after the interests of
the steel company, while the govern
ment's case is in charge Of Special
Prosecutor Jacob M Dickinson, former
secretary of war. Other government
attorneys are George w. Pepper of
Philadelphia and Henry E. Gotten,
special assistant attorney general.
While the investigation by the Stan
ley committee had nothing to do with
the filing of the present suit, it is be-
lieved the testimony divulged before
that body has helped the governments
case considerably and many Of the
witnesses that appeared at the con-
gressional committee hearings will be
asked to give their testimony in the
governments suit.

WALL C0LLAPSES; TWO DIE
Scores Burned in Debris of Building
in Toronto, Canada, ard Nine
Are Injured.

Toronto, May 6.-Tne south wall of
a fve-story building recently con-
structed for the William Nelson COM
pany, limited, buckled and fell in,
burying a score OF employees. Two
persons, a man and a woman, were
killed, and nine others seriously in
jured.
The building, which is situated in
Gladstone avenue, was occupied on
the first and second floors by manu-
facturers of ice cream and chocolates.
Two hundred employees, the majority
Of whom were women and children,
were engaged in this work when the
accident occurred.
One theory advanced is that the col
lapse was due to the fact that the
building had been erected on made
ground.

AN EYE-OPENER

The income tax is having this
good effect, at least. that it is direct
ing the thought of the people to th8
expenditures of government.
That is one advantage of all direct
taxation over the Indirect that the
taxpayer, feeling the pull on his
purse, begins to ask how his repre-
sentatives in Office are spending his
money.
The Wisconsin income tax has not
only increased the taxes of the average
existing taxpayer bit it has Created
large body of new taxpayers. Each
one of these thousands of citizens is
now beginning to ask, What is the
state going to do for me and for the
community with this large amount of
new income?'
Beginning with that question.
which is just and pertinent. the tax
payer is led to consider the tremen-
dous rate at which the income of the
state has increased in recent years,
and he asks again. What benefit
have I and the community derived
from this greatly increased income -
He notes TIE railroad taxes. the
Insurance taxes, the corporation taxes,
the Inheritance taxes which have
followed hard upon each other 8
heels to fill the Golfers of the state to
overlooking, but which the average
citizen has taken as a matter of course
because they did not effect him
So the interest suddenly becomes
active. now that the state has asked
him to pay up, whether all Of this vast
wealth has been spent tclnOm ically,
wisely and in the public interest
And this average cItizan begins to
recall that there was time before all
these taxes were collected when life in
Wisconsin was as just prosperous and
happy as it is today and the taxes Of
the individual not as high as they are
today. Of course, all sorts of things
may be said on this subject and il is
not for Us to say them now. The fact
remains that the expenditures of
government in Wisconsin have kept
pace with its income no matter how
greatly the latter has increased, and
that every legislature thinks it its
duty to blow III every cent at the
states disposed
Of this condition the citizenshi p
mas too long bsen tolerant. The
majority, not feeling its pockets
called upon, has been content to see
the law makers spend the states coiu
how and for what they have seen ft
Now that the pockets of the people
feel the call they are prompted to ask
for an accounting. And that is
mighty good thing. Milwaukee Free
