TAXES 10 PER CENT OF INCOME.

That Victor Berger is less dangerous
than Gov. McGovern and DR.. Charles
Mccarthy, head of the legislative refer
ence bureau, because Mr.. Berger is
more sincere is said by Ellis B. Usher
He says:
cit is worth while for those who are
writing to really inform the people of
Wisconsin as to the question of taxes
to be careful that Prof. Adams, the
governor and others, do not shift the
issue to mere details. That is the evil
dent purpose, and it will lead to mis-
understanding. Prof. Adams is right
when he says that the specific cost of
commission service makes but small
percentage of the aggregate of state
expenses, or of the total cost of state
government. The only point is that
their cost is growing, and they ire not
exceptional.
at cost less than s4,000.0O0 to run
the state in 1900. For this year, Prof.
Adams says, tbs budgest appropria.
tions are $i6,21c, l24. That is an in
crease Of ovei. 300 per cent in cost OF
government against gain in popula-
:.on and wealth that falls back and is
below the average of the country as a
whole.
