The decade from 1870 to 1880 Is
memorable in that there was no in
crease in government expenses. With
that exception, though great econ
omies have been projected and effect
ed at Washing ON on paper, the gov
eminent has scarcely ever in a given
year spent less than in the year be-
fore, unless panic cut short it's rev
enues OF the close Of a war enabled
it to return to a peace footing. In
the last twenty years not even panic
has effected an important reduction in
outgo, while we now spend on peace
footing considerably more than when
at war with Spain, and expenditures
head have tended quite steadily to
rise. Broadly speaking, every dollar
appropriated is permanent charge
and goes on forever. In tpe last four
years aggregate disbursements have
gun just under seven hundred million
dollars, varying little from year to
year. Meanwhile a new impossible
corporation tax-has been introduced
and It's yield Of thirty millions year
has kept the balance op the right side
Of the Ice s9r Meanwhile, also, the
pension ioll las fallen by about eight
millions, standing a little over hun
dren and fifty millions in 1912; but
the new pension bill is coming into
effect and it will Immediately increase
the pension roll by at least twenty
i've millions a year, nearly absorbing
the yield Of the new corporation tax.
No doubt the government will never
spend less. No doubt it will spend
more and more The problem is to get
value for the money something that
swe don't do nov, by long shot

TAKE UP Big MILK PROBLEM
Inspection of Diaries Similar to That
Used by the City of Chicago to be
Inaugurated in Xenosha Within Few
Months-other Work of the Board.

The board of health met in regular
session at the city hall on Thursday
evening and spent al of three hours dis
cussing work now being done by Com
missioner of Health McShane and at
the end of the discussion the sanction
of the board was given to the various
plans made by the commissioner to Sc
cure better conditions in Kenosha.
Special action was taken in regard to
protection of the milk supply of the
city and acting on the suggestion of
Dr., McShane an inspection of all milk
will be made in the future. The board
will go back to the source of the milk
supply and to this end inspection will
be made of barns and dairies from
which milk is sent to Kenosha. In
making the inspections the agents of
the board of health viii follow the
rules laid down by the health depart
ment of the city of Chicago. This will
mean the complete inspection all barns
and stables and the inspection of all
facilities for handling milk. Later it
is expected that the board of health
will ask from the city the enactment of
an ordinance which will give the board
wide powers in the matter of handling
the milk supply of the city. This is in
keeping with legislation being passed
in other cities of the state and country
and it is expected that within short
time the city of Kenosha will take an
advanced stand on the question of pro-
viding pure milk.
The board discussed at length the
question of code of health rules for the
city, but it was found that there were
few cities in the state working under
the commission plan and this matter
will be given further study before a
formal code to be followed by the
board is promulgated.
The board will seek more power in
abating nuisances and will ask the city
council to make an amendment to the
health ordinance at an early meeting
so as to give the agents of the commits
sion wider powers along this line by
giving the right of having such work
ordered and the cost Of it assessed
against the property affected. This has
been one of the worst difficulties that
the board has been forced to meet and
it is thought that with a change in the
ordinance the work of the board can be
made much more efficient.
Reports of guarantees in the city in
dicated that the city was freer from
contagious diseases than it had been in
many months and conditions along the
line are regarded much more favorable
at this time.
DR.. G. II. Ripley was named as vice
chairman of the board and it was de-
cided that in the future meetings of
the board may be called by any one
of the members and that there would
be no stated time for the holding of
such meetings.
The board suggested to the city coun
ell that one of the members be sent
to Washington to attend the national
health conference and this matter will
be taken up by the council at its next
meeting.

The ACCESSIBILITY Of securing compe-
titive bids on all public work was
never better illustrated than in the
experience the city had in the con-
struction of the receiving well of the
trunk sewer. The well is just about
completed and in a manner perfectly
satisfactory 10 the city engineers and
It cost just about half what it would
have cost to have it built without bids.
This well should have been included in
The specification for the sewer in the
first place.

TO REoRGANIZE COMPANY.
Plans Being Completed For Reopen
ing of stick-tite'' Factory.

Plans are now being completed fol
the re-opening of the plant of the
Stick-Tite Fly Paper company and it
is now thought tnat the plant will be
in operation within a few weeks and
that the reopening of the business
will be under very auspicious circup-
stances. New capital has been inter-
ested in the business and the company
has been given assurance that the en-
tire production of the company will
find ready market. It is stated that
already the entire output Of the plant
for next year estimated at nearly fifty
cars of fly paper has been contracted
for. Changes have been made in the
stock of the company and the stock is
now being sold locally.

MAY PAY ON PERSONAL AGAIN
State Chairman Declares That the Peo-
pie Directing to the Income Tax are
Now Better Off Than They Would be
on Return TO the New System.

| A declaration that repeal of the
income tax law would automatically
restore all moneys and credits to the
rolls for taxation under the former
personal property rate and would re-
suit in a tax many times larger than
required under the income law, is con-
tanned in statement today BY Nils
| p. Haugen, chairman of the state tax
commission. From an analysis of his
statement it is evident that the tax
commission possesses such information
as would lead to a nearly complete
enrolment Of taxable property of
much Of which heretofore was over
looked or otherwise omitted from the
tax list, should the income tax law be
repealed.
In the city of Madison, according to-
Chairman Haugen, the restoration of
the personal property tax would result
in some individuals and corporations
paying nearly six times as much taxes
as they would under the income tax
law. What is true of Madison, he
adds, is true of practically every other
city in the state.
| Under the income tax law an indi-
vidual or corporation would pay not
to exceed three mills on the face value
of $1,000 security, while under the per-
sonal property tax system, which
would necessarily be restored if the
income law were repealed, the owner
would have to pay the local tax rate,
which in the city Of Madison is IL IT
mills.
"Those who simply shout for the
req al Of the income tax law do not
seem to have any idea as to where
such action on the part of the legisla-
ture would leave the people of the
Estate of Wisconsin, said Mr.. Haugen,
who was asked if he thought the in
come tax law would be repealed. Re
tpealing the law without further legis-
lation leads to a complication of the
tax question that can hardly be reaiz-
ed The income tax law itself amends
the law in regard to the exemption Of
personal property and materially in
creases such exemptions. Repeating
it restores every article of personal
property mentioned in that part of it
which treats of exemption to the tax
able list

What Repeal Would Mean.

Repeating the tax law would make
al moneys and credits, including
stocks and bonds, taxable locally at
their true cash value. 1t would make
taxable every article Of wearing APP
p5rel, every article of household and
kitchen furniture, musical instruments
Of all kinds, and all growing crops.
Il would also make taxable the tools
.of mechanic kept and used at his
trade, no matter how small their
value; all farm, orchard and garden
machinery, implements and tools, no
matter how insignificant in value.
"Those who cry out against the in
come tax law may labor under the i'm
preston that repeating it would re
store the old state of affairs but it
would not. Our tax laws expressly
|provides that taxes shall be levied
upon all property in this state except
such as is exempted therefrom' An
other part of the tax law provides.
designating certain articles as belong
ing in the personal property class, that
personal property shall also include
all goods, wares, merchandise, chat
tells and effects of any nature or de-
scriDtion -

Repeal Alone Not Enough.


9 1t is idle to speak of the repeal of
the income tax law without proposing
in connection herewith substitute
something no one has as yet men
toned. Those who cry loudest against
the income tax are undoubtedly
parties who under the old system es-
capped their due share of taxes.
Moneys and credits especially, in the
city Of Madison-so far as this section
of The state is concerned were very
inadeqnately assessed, In the report
eff Inc tax commission for 1909 it ap-
pears that there were less of moneys
anG credits assessed in all the cities
and villages of Dane county than, in
the country districts. Let the farm
Iers take note of this. Much of the In
come from this source will be taken
under the income tax law. Those mef
who have formerly escaped their iust
share of taxes will be compelled I'M
der the income tax law to pay taxes at
a very light rate compared with that
which was due from them under the
law.
