Trades and Labor Assembly and
Commercial Club to Meet
and Plan Campaign.

A representative committee of the
Superior Commercial club and the
legislative committee of the Trades
and Labor assembly. will meet next
week or the week after, as soon as a
date can be arranged, to discuss plans
for the PRONUNCIATION of the move for
the municipal ownership of, the street
railway system. The joint commit
tees of the two organizations will hold
a. private meeting after which a con-
ference will be arranged with the city
commission to force the issue.
The Wisconsin laws provide that
public utilities can become municipal
ly owned if a majority of the people
Of a city desire it. At the last spring
elections the sentiment Of the people
CT Superior was shown to be over
whelming;y for the municipal owne
ship CT the street railway. The vote
however, was not binding one as it
had to do with the passage of the
utility law, and therefore another vote
would be necessary.
The entire matter. was. put up to
the city commission last August and
the city attorney was instructed to
prepare a brief. However, the matter
has been permitted to lag and moth
ing: has been accomplished. The Com
mercial club: and the Trades and La
Dor assembly have decided to take the
initiative in the matter, and the COM
mission will soon be forced to act.
If this matter is brought to- an is

will appraise the value of the sire Il
railway property, and, 1T 4, will be

If necessary bonds will be issued.

be paid must first be fixed by the

Another provision which is con-

employees is that which requires the
commission: in. case compensation be

the same.in the name Of the people of

pense Of the state; so that the injured
employe will not be obliged to carry
on an expensive and unequal contest
of the enforcement of his legal rights.

Our Progressive Taxation.

The assessed valuation of Wisconsin
in 1912 was So, 81, 412, $40. The rate
per thousand dollars was $11.086 or
IN other words, for every thousand dol
lars of taxable property man owned
he paid $11.O8 taxes. In the same year
the assessed valuation Of the state of
! Michigan, admittedly a weather. state
than ours, was 1898, 957, $50, or more
than one billion dollars less than Wis
| cOnsin, and the rate of taxation was
but So. So on every thousand dollars of
taxable property. If man held 81, 900
worth of property in Michigan he would
pay only $2.58, while if he had the
same amount Of property in this pro-
gressive ridden and sinecure infested
state of ours he would pay $11.08, or
! more than four times as much.
In Ohio the assessed valuation was a
trifie over six billion dollars, and the
rate per thousand dollars of taxable
property less than fOrty-siX cents.
The states having population about
equal to our state are New Jersey, as
sessed valuation two billions and a
quarter; no tax whatever for state pur-
poses. Iowa, assessed valuation seven
hundred and thirteen million; rate of
taxation per thousand, $500; Califor-
MIA, assessed valuation six hundred mil
lion dollars; rate Of taxation four and
four-tenths cents on one thousand dol
lars; Minnesota, assessed valuation one
billion and quarter dollars, rate of
taxation 1888.
These figures when analysed show
startling results. In the first place
they show that the per capita wealth
of Wisconsin is from three to six times
that of any of the states named, ex-
cept Minnesota, and more than twice
Minnesota's, or else all the states when
compared with ours are only assessed
at about quarter of their value.
1t is hardly supposable that the per
capita wealth of Wisconsin is twice
that of Minnesota, four times that of
Iowa and nearly twice that of Mich1-
gan. And yet if those states have been
assessed on the same basis ours was it
must be true. But it is not true. The
per capita wealth of Wisconsin is no
greater than that of Michigan, Iowa or
Minnesota, notwithstanding our high
valuation for taxing purposes. Com
pairing rates on the thousand dollars of
taxable property is where we show up
in true progressive style Here it is:
Michigan. ..........$ 2.58
Iowa $50
Minnesota. 10000. 3.SS

Who says we have nothing to show

COPIES of the annual report of The
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Co. are being mailed to policyholders
of the company. In the report, Presi-
dent Markham of the company takes
occasion to criticize policy loans. Be-
yond question there is a general
movement on the part of insurance
companies to lessen the amount of pol
icy loans, a practice which is growing
each year. The claim of the insurance
companies is that it defeats the very
object of insurance.
