Wilson and family arrived this morn

the party shivered from the cold. The

by crowds everywhere, but he made
no speeches. To those who begged
him to talk, the president always said
with a smile: I'm not in the habit

PURE SHOE LAWS TO

DAVIES REVIEWS
TAX LEGISLATION
Wisconsin Income Law of 1911
Considered Most Important
in West.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Tax legisla-
ing 1912 is reviewed IN final report
on taxation of corporations presented
to President Wilson today by Com
missioner Davies of the bureau of cor
porations. One of the striking features
of le- Station reviewed is New York's
secured debts law of 1911 The Wis
consin income tax law of 1911 is con-
sidered the most important tax legis-
lation in the eastern central and west
ern central states.
"Other noteworthy features are the
decided trend toward greater centrali-
zation of the administration of tax
laws and the classification of property
for taxation purposes" says the re-
port wisconsin is a leading exx-
ample of the one and Rhode Island of
the o.her. Wisconsin. by its income
tax law, centralized it's administration
of assessments and successfully reach
ed Intangible property without en-
ploying the classification method.
Rhode Island has 1opted the classi-
fication method under which selected
classes are separated from the general
property OF the state, and eacn related
class is taxed at a rate which differs
from the general proptrty tax rate.
Legislation with respect to the es
tates of nonresident decedents is also
notew orthy. BY reason of the lack of
of state laws, such eststes
are sometimes subject to taxation
three, and even four, times. Massa- !
chusetts, however. has recognized the |
principle of taxing such property but
once, namely, by taxing the real es-
tate only. Personality is not taxed, |
since such property usually passes in |
accordance with the law of the juris- /
iiction where the decedent is domicil- !
ed. New York, in addition to taxing
real estate, taxes chattels located in |
New York and Wisconsin has passed I
tax legislation looking to-
ward complete physical basis fer

BEALL RETIRING;
SUFFRAGETS win
Alton Senator, Foe to Cause,
Says He Will Not Be a Can
didate Again.

Illinois suffragists have won their
first fight against n prospective can
didate for public Office who has op-
posed equal franchise without max
4 ing speech against him or holding
over him more of a threat than that
which his own political foresight sug-
| gested.
The 'bloodless victory" is reported
authenticaIly to have been won over
one of the most picturesque characters
| of the general. assembly, a senator
who has been figure in state politics
for 80 years and has occupied high
office during that time.
Edmund BealI of Alton, senator
from the 47th district, is the victim"
All his life an opponent of equal suf-
frage. Senator Beal lwas responsible
for defeat of legislation looking to
that end for several years. Even in
the face of knowledge that the bill
would be passed by the 4Sth general
assembly Senator Beall continued to
vote against it.
Mr.. BealI has announced privately
20 friends that he will not be a candI,
date for reelection. To them likewise
he has admitted he does not believe
he can be elected, even in the district
where he is so popular personally.
In the last assembly Senator Beall
was chairman of the committee or
fish ana game and a member of the
appropriations, educational. election, |
insurance. manufactures, military and |
naval affairs. public utilities, sena- |
torial apportic1ment water ways and |
visiting safe charitable institutions |
committees.
He was vice chairman of Lieutenant |
Governor O'Hara's senatorial welfare !
which investigated the
cause Of white slavery, and it was
oaly the approval given him By women
as result CT tha- commissions work
which caused him to believe for a
time he might be reelected, he said.
Though a republican. Senator Beali
was friendly to Governor Dunno and
aided him in combining the fish and
game departments when it appeared
the governors measure would fail.
Mr.. Beall was mayor of Alton for
several terms. He owns large i'm
plement and farm machinery manu-
featuring plant there and is reputed
10 be a millionaire. He has retired
from business leaving it in the care
0f his boys.
Mrs. Beall. who proclaims herself
an old-fashioned woman, sympathizes
with the senator's views on the suf-
rage question. but so many women OF
lis district do not, Mr.. Beall tod his
friends. that he believed he would not
