Income Tax sa,5o1,tet.4s.

The annual report of the state tax
commission places the total income
tax assessed in the state at $3,501,-
l6l.46. of which s2,39S.l54.44. or $50
per cent. is paid by corporations. The
average rate of taxation against firms
and individuals is 1.95 per cent. and
upon corporations, 5.4 per cent. The
number of taxpayers. excluding cor
porations, per 1000 population is
1896 and varies from 40.27 in Mil
waukee county to 2.55 in Burnett
county.
After deducting all the personal
property offsets, the commission ap-
proximates that tle net yield of the
income tax viii be about S2.200,000
OF this amount the state will receive
$220,000 the counties $4,000, and
the towns. cities and villages $780,
coo.
The result of the first assessment
makes it clear tlatsthe income tax is
primarily an urban tax" says the re-
port. over 40 per cent of the en-
tire tax is assessed in Milwaukee city
alone. and over so per cent. in the
counties containing cities of the sec
ond. third and fourth classes. Meas
ured by income, there are plainly
more persons capable Of paying taxes
in the city than in the country Elk
Guiding corporations. about 403 per
cent of the population is assessed for
income tax in Milwaukee county
about one family in every FIVE. In
sixteen counties having second and
third class cities. about two per cent.
of the population is assessed for in
come tax or one family in every ten.
I'm the flfty-four remaining coun-
ties only IL per cent. of the popula-
tion are subject to the tax, or some
thing over one family In every TWEEN
ty. The typical taxpayer also pays a
larger income tax than does the rural
taxpayer. Thus in Milwaukee city
the average income tax assessed is
1908. while in the sixteen counties
it is 5000, and in the other counties
$14.95
After making deductions for the

commission, corporations will pay
something over &c per cent. farmers
less than one-third of one per cent,
manufacturers-not classed as cor
porations-nearly II per cent, and

RlNGWoRM ON CHlLD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger. about the size
of birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
ful. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.

unlversltx,s Value Shown.

That one Wisconsin citizen in every
ten days has been the direct recipient
of instruction from the state uni
versity is shown by statistics just
compiled by the executive committee
of the Alumni Association of the
University of Wisconsin, of which
George A. Buckstaff of Oshkosh is
president, for a handbook on uniyer-
sity activities issued by this alumni
committee
This estimate of the direct results
of university teaching is figured on
the basis of a population of 2,233,860
and takes into consideration 10000
graduates and regular students scat
tered over the state; 1000 farm boys,
who have attended the short course
in agriculture: 5000 dairy course
students: 5000 correspondence stu
dents who have enrolled in the extern
sion division; $4,000 annual partici-
pants in the farmers course and
farmers institutes conducted in vari-
GUS parts of the state; 125,000 per-
sons who have attended lectures
given by representatives of the ex-
tension division of the university,
and 1000 citizens who have made use
of the package libraries sent out upon
request by the university.
Over 100000 worth of pure bred
seeds are now being sold annually by
the Wisconsin Experiment associa-
ton, numbering 1850 farmers who
have attended the courses at the col
lege of agriculture, and their work
has resulted in making Wisconsin the
leading seed breeding state of the

That millions of dollars have been
saved to farmers of Wisconsin by the
work of the college of agriculture in
eliminating oats and barley smut; in
saving thousands of bushels of pota-
toes previously lost through diseases
of the potato plant. and in controlling
the pea blight is demonstrated in the
alumni handbook.

Wisconsin's dairy and food law must
be strengthened by the next legisla-
ture
Commissioner Emery has discov-
cred methods by which the public can
be defrauded which are unamenable
under the law. Every session of the
legislature brings fight on this
statute, Two years ago Commission
er Emery's vigorous enforcement of
the law nearly cost him his job But
in his legislative recommendations
made public he demands that the law
be Better fortified.
LAS changes in conditions designed
to circrmvent the effectiveness of the
law are taking place" says Commits

TO light. there must be amendme nts
to the food laws from time TO tue to
meet such change and changing con-
ditions This statement is applicable

To aid In this work Commissioner
Emery says that the department can
be greatly strengthened by the aid Of

Higher Pay Asked for All Teachers.
Higher wages for all teachers, in
dustrial education in the schools, more
practical courses in the high schools
and a better preparation of teachers
were among the recommendations
adopted by the state board Of normal
school regents at its meeting in Madi-
son. The recommendations were re
ceived in suggestions from the prin-
cipals of the normal schools of the
state.
The board also recommended that
the certifcation Of teachers by state
and county superintendent of educa-
ton replace the present system by

either. The compulsory improvement
of physical conditions in the schools
was also urged as well as an increase
in the number OF hours a week to be
spent by students from fourteen to six
teen years old, in class work.
The board also directed the com
mittee on legislation to prepare bills
which viii provide for an appropI'ia-

state, the engineering course TO lead
up to the same course at the univer
sity.
