TO SAVE TUBERCULAR CATTLE
State Veterinarian Plans to Raise
Healthy Calves on Guaranteed
Stock Farm.

Madison.-Dr o. H. Eliason, state
veterinarian, has been agitating pro.
posed legislation, the idea Of which
seems to have been original with him,
to obviate wholesale waste in the
handling of tubercular cattle. Dr. Ella
son proposes that the legislature now
sitting shall enact a law which will
authorize the Wisconsin livestock san
itary board to hermit individual own
ers or companies, upon application to
it, to establish quarantine farms for
the purpose of raising healthy calves
from tubercular cattle, under what is
known as the Bang system" and in
confirmation with such rules and reg
ulations as may be established by the
board. A bill is now being drafted for
such legislation, and its sponsors are
optimistic as to its final passage.

NEW INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for Gradu-
ated Payment System in
New Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. Concluded in the
income tax section, which would re-
quire every resident of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 q
year to pay a tax of l per cent. on
his earnings in excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $40ff to pay tax,
but it would demand that one who
earned $4,100, for example, pay into
the government treagury an annual
tax of per cent. on 500, or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding surtax of
per cent additional ca earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000; per cent. additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000, and 3
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of 100000.
How Surtax Would Be imposed.
Under the surtaX provisions the man
who earns $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate of
l per cent on $16,000 $4,000 exempt i,
or $3.50 If he earns 100000 he would
pay / per cent on $4,000, and 3 per
cent. or $4,000. making his annual
tax $3.50. The person with a $4,000
income would pay per cent. on &c.
900 and 2 per cent. on 100000 total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
of 100000 would be required to pay
l per cent on $4,000, per cent on
$4,000, and per cent on $4,000,
which would be $1,000, bringing his
total income tex to $2.260 Anyone
with a net income of a million
would pay this s2.26O on his first
100000 and in addition he would pay
per cent on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to $3S,260
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
per cent tax on the earnings of
corporations, stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like. bur Il
would exempt partnerships. This is
fat tax, there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpo-
ration tax act. concern chiefly the time
of making returns and the time for
collection.
The bill includes under its provi-
sions the property and earnings in this
country~of persons who live abroad

DEATH TAKES R. w. GUENTHER
Man Who Made Political History In
Wisconsin Succumbs at
Home in Oshkosh

Oshkosh. - Richard w Guenther,
who broke all political precedents by
invading a congressional district, of
which he was not resident, captur-
ing the nomination, and then after a
most bitter campaign defeating the
nominee of the stronger party of that
district, is dead here.
Death was due indirectly to an OPP
Grafton performed while he was United
States consul at Cape Town. Africa,
two years ago.
Mr.. siuenther attained national
prominence as politician through his
defeat of A. J. Delaney, for election
to congress from the old Second dis
trict. Gen. Z. S. Bragg was seeking
denomination by the democrats. After
thousands of ballots had been taken,
Mr. Delaney was declared the nominee
of that party. The republicans in des-
pair turned to Mr.. Guenther and pur-
suaded him to enter the field against
Mr.. Delaney. He did and captured the
election.
Mr.. Guenther had a varied political
career in Wisconsin. In 1877 he was
elected state treasurer by a majority
of 1900 and two years later was re-
elected. Gabe Bouck, a democrat, was
then the representative from this con-
gressional district The republicans
put up Mr.. Guenther and elected him
by majority of 3,400 votes. He was
twice reelected from this district.
President Harrison appointed Mr.
Guenther consul general to Mexico
City to succeed Gen. Bragg. Upon
his return to Oshkosh in 1894, Gov
Upham appointed him member OF
the state board of control. The fol
lowing November he was appointed
consular general at Frankfort. Ger

L0WLANDS SWEPT BY FLOOD
Big and Little Rib and Chippewa Riv-
ers Swollen Following
Heavy Rains.

Wausau.--Heayy rains at head va
tiers and along the valley of Big Rib
river have changed the stream into a
torrent of madly rushing waters, in
undating lowlands and bringing great
quantities of food trash and logs into
Lake Wausau.
Little Rib river is also very high,
ed both are rising. The Wisconsin
river here is almost at flood stage
and slowly rising. If the predicted
rain comes on Friday, melting the
deep snow in the woods north of Tom
ahawk and Eagle River the situation
may become serious All along the
river the gates in dams are open to
allow quick passage of water, ard all
possible precautions are being taken
against damage.
The railroad under the viaduct high
bridge was closed as a precaution
against further rise and washouts. A
log jam above the bridge in the north
part of the city threatens the struc,
ture, an attempt being made to move
1t with dynamite The Milwaukee road
is flooded at Heights. Passengers
were transferred by boats.
Little Town Flooded.
Chippewa Falls.-Much territory al
Jacent to the banks of the Chippewa
river faces serious flood. The little
town OF Cobban, fifteen miles north OF
here, is under eight feet of water and
the residents have fed to the bluffs
near the city. Cobban has popula-
ton of $50. The breaking of big
Ice gorge in the river on the east city
limits in Chippewa Falls caused great
anxiety here for time.
The telephone operator at Cobban
remained at his post until the water
reached his waist He notified Chip
pewa Falls and other places along
the river of its rapid rise and then
fed.
A terrific thunder storm broke VI
the ice gorges one mile up the Chip
pewa river from here, letting loose a
roaring torrent of ice, water and de
bris. Thousands of tons of ice eigh
teen inches thick swirled and twisted
down the stream, carrying with it sew,
eral log booms. Thus augmented, the
river roared down stream and practi.
cally ruined the Omaha railroad
bridge.
Flood at Marinette.

ed street caved in to a depth of thirty
