Is not this enough evidence to the tax
payers of Wisconsin, that the state
should not strive to conduct as well
as regulate all kinds of business. The
present state administration and its
hackers are even outdoing the social
lists. They propose to take all man
has through a system of taxation
while the socialist wants to take a
mans property by system of divi-
sion.

The Fate of the Bill In the Senate.

Those who are well informed are
predicting that the bill repeating the
free toll will pass the Senate by good
safe majority and will become a law
in a few weeks. 1t in also believed that
the overwhelming majority which the
bill received in the house will add
strength to the Wilson forces in the
senate. The Panama canal cost us
approximately 800, 900, 900 which was
paid for by the American people, and
why should less than l per cent who
own the ships, reap the benefit of free
toll which the other SO per cent have
paid for. The fact of it is every ship
of commerce passing through that
canal should pay the same rate in
toll, and that is the only just and
equitable way to operate the canal.

high up into the hundred million dol
lars, and that property is being in

having interest in Mexico to keep
'hands off, and leave it to us. They
have done SO, although their property

that in the higher regions of the Him

The probability of Venus being in
