few favors for the many favors,
financial aids and grants which these
railroads companies have received;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council
of the City of Milwaukee, That the
city attorney be and is hereby
authorized and directed to draft bill
to be presented at the opening of the
next Legislature, giving the citizens of
the state fare not to exceed / cent
per mile each way, from and to any
station in this state, on all railroads
doing business in the state, on the
following days and covering periods
of time stipulated:
"Menorial day, good for three days
for return from date of sale; indie
pendence day, good for three days on
return journey; Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of Wisconsin state fair
week, good for six days for return
from date of sale; Artisan day, good
for three days for return from date
of sale.
After the council meeting Aid. Fie-
brantz was asked if he believed the
railroad lobby at Madison would per-
nit legislation OF the kind proposed
to. get through.
II do,o he emphatically replied.
There is no doubt that every com
munity in the commonwealth would be
in sympathy with and support its legis-
lative delegation in standing behind
this movement It would have been
put into effect when the cent fare
bill went through had it not been for
the fact that friends Of the cent fare
did not care to ask too much at that
time, fearing if they did they might
lose that fight.
Reduced rates for such occasions as
the state fair have been requested OF
the companies frequently, also for In.
dependence and Memorial days, and re-
fused. I believe if the companies will
not make these concessions without il
then the sovereignty Of the people
should be invoked to force them into
effect"

Wisconsin republicans are even
more exasperated over this outraging
act (the income tax law than are
emocrats-because there are more of
them; and they viii be found in the
fall more generally voting the demo
cratic ticket than at any time since
their party came into existence. Re-
publicans who are both responsible for
the law and for It's inquisitorial en-
forcement may pnrfunetorily insist up
on its perpetuity, but whatever their
course regarding the measure, frank or
faltering, they already have created a
storm of overwhelming, irresistible
force. Nothing like the hostility to
any Wisconsin statute ever has been
known before. No act ever intruded
so insultingly into private affairs. If
studied effort had been made es-
pecially to infame Wisconsin citizens
nothing more successful could have
been devised. Partisans living off POI
litics may seek to convince themselves
that the law is all right, but never
were mortals more blind. Fourteen
American states have tried local in
come tax laws and repealed them, and
in the only other six states retaining
them they are practical nullitiesl Such
too is the Wisconsin statute fore
doomed to donaldson Democrat.

original contract by the city so that
the report of the committee will
recommend the payment of a little less
than $4,000 for all extras. "A part of
this work was done az the direct order
of the common council. This work in
cludes additional concrete and the
work under the tracks of the North
western Railway. This work the COM
mittee expects the city to pay for at
the full amount agreed upon.
The report of Engineer Lenthe has
not been made public and it will not
be made public until it is presented to
the common council with the report
of the Street Assessment Committee.
The engineer in making his estimate in
vited the engineer for the construction
company to visit him and explain his
own estimates of extra work. 1t is
admitted that an error was found in
the former estimate presented to the
council which made a difference of
many thousand dollars in the amount
claimed by the contractors
It is not entirely beyond the realm
of possibilities that the contractors
will accept the settlement suggested
by the committee but it is certain that
if this settlement is declined that the
question of the amount of extras will
have to be settled by the courts.

The wholesale poisoning of Sunday
when twelve people narrowly escaped
with their lives after eating toad stools
for mushrooms slows the danger of any
but the most expert judges attempt
ing to gather these fungi. There IS
only one safe rule and that is unless
you are absolutely sure that all the
mushrooms in any particular patch
you may find are edible let all of them
alone. More of the poisonous varieties
have appeared in the fields and woods
near the city this fall than ever be-
fore and the inexpert are taking great
risks in gathering mushrooms even in
places where up to this fall all of the
mushrooms appealing have been ecihle.
The poisonous varieties are so numeronsT
and so widely scattered this fall that
no one but an expert should attempt to
gather mushrooms and under condi-
Ions similar to those of this year even
experts have been known to make mis-
takes.

FIND ERRORS IN FORMER BILL
Report of Expert Engineer is Not Made
Public, but it Shows That Amount
offered by Committee Would be Fair
to All Concerned.

The street assessment committee of
the common council met in long
three hour session t>the city hall on
Friday evening for a final considera-
tion of the report of the committee in
regard to the bill of extras for the
trunk sewer and at the conclusion of
the meeting that committee had de-
cided to make the Cleary White Com
pany an offer of fat settlement with
the city paying the company 100000 in
full of all claims. This settlement
would follow the settlement by the
contractors of all the claims filed by
the people of the city following the
construction of the sewer It is not
known whether or not the contractors
will consider the offer, but it is certain
that the committee, and it will have
the backing of the members of the
council, will not offer any large sum
for the final settlement. The contrac-
tors have claimed more than $4,000 for
extra work and materials and the re-
port of the experet engineer employed
by the city shows that this claim is a
much over estimated one.N The engineer
in charge of the estimate for the city
was G. d. Lenthe of Chicago, the head
engineer for the Chicago Drainage
Board. His report is a most complete
one and strange as it may seem his
profile of the work done follows closely
the profile made by the engineer for
the Construction Company. His re-
port however does not in any way in
dictate any amount Of extras as has been
claimed by the contractors. Some
strange errors were made by the con-
tractors in figuring up the amount of
the bill for extras and when these fig
ures were received by the expert en-
gineer the amount reached was little
less than has been offered by the com
mittee for the full settlement. The
contractors have balance OF little
over $4,000 now due them on the

TO GET OLD EXCURSION RATES
Milwaukee Common Council Passes
Resolution Asking Action of Legisla-
ture and Councils of all Cities in
State asked to Take Similar Action.

"A campaign for reduced railroad
rates on such special occasions as
Fourth Of July and Memorial days,
and the state fair, was launched
in the Milwaukee common council by
Aid. Fiebrantz, who introduced reso-
luton authorizing the city attorney
to draft such legislation as may bring
about these concessions from the
transportation companies.
Under the rules of the council, the
measure went to the committee, but
the author said he would insist on
early report and adoption thereof.
:" Wisconsin is one of the few
states" he explained, wherein spe-
cial rates are not granted for holidays
and such important occasions as the
state fair. / have no doubt but that
if there had been reduced rates on the
railroads for the recent state fair the
attendance of farmers would have been
at least one hundred per cent greater
than it was.
"This is a subject which affects
every community in Wisconsin, and I
believe that this movement will re-
ceive endorsement in the next legis
lature. y The preamble and resolution
is as follows:
Whereas, All railroads in the state
of Wisconsin of any Importance have
received financial aid, special favors
and grants from cities, villages, towns
and counties in the state; and
Z Whereas, The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway Company and the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Com
pany have become two of the largest
and best roads in the United States, of
which Milwaukee and the state at
large can feel proud; and
Whereas, The time has now come
when the City Of Milwaukee,. and the
state at large, can reasonably expect
these railroad companies to begin to
return to the citizens of the state a
