INCOME TAX HEAD RESIGNS
Superintendent K. X. KEENAN, Retired
. from Position on March -
Is Expert on Subject.

Madison.--K. K KEENAN, of Mil
waukee, superintendent of the in
come tax, has resigned and will re-
tire March /. 1t appears that Mr..
KEENAN, last fall gave notice to the
state tax commission that he would
retire at a time convenient to the
commission. He took the position in
the first place because of his inter-
est in the new income tax levy and
his desire to aid in the initiation of
its administration. He was prob
ably the best informed man in the
state on the subject of income tax
laws and his special knowledge has
been valuable in the work incident
to the first years experiment with
the new tax

Affects Freight Charge Claim.

1t the bill recommended favorably
by the committee on transportation
OF the assembly passes both houses
of the legislature claims for excess
freight charges may be filed any
time within two years The meas
ure is similar to the provisions in
the interstate commerce act and the
idea of the bill is to make the pro-
ceeding in each case uniform. When
the railroad commission act was
passed it contained provision that
charges might be filed within six
months The legislature two years
ago extended the provision to one
year and the bill to make the pro-
vision uniform with the interstate
commerce act was introduced by AS
semblyman Holmes The railroad
officials made no objection to the
measure at the committee nearing.

the masses were too hilarious to heed

ant and the east front of the capitol
was used for the first time for the in
auguration. In front of it surged
10000 persons who were restrained
only by great iron chain. Jackson
rode to the capitol on a white horse
and went through the ceremonies with
dignity, and started back to the White
House. Then began his troubles, for
the people broke loose with a ven-
geance.
"The president was literally pursued

who should first gain admittance into

understood that refreshments would

rary, Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith In

confusion became more and more al

building of railways and the crowd
that flocked to Washington was I'M

than that which ''honored' Jackson,
but it was hungry for offices.

of Washington that March day, ana

him and within one month he was
