T. C. Richmond Asks Why.

But why the necessity for this special
session of the legislature? Why were
these excessive taxes levied?
No one important material fact IS
known now that was not equally we'll
known at the time the legislature was
in session when the bills referred to
were passed, excepting the fact that
since then the people of the state, re-
CARELESS of party, have, in public meet,
ings held all over the state, expressed
their Indignation and demanded relief.
Until recently, we have been told again
and again, by those who are RESPONSE
BILE for the present condition of things,
that taxes are high and justly so; that
it is necessary that they be high, and
that we may look forward to higher
taxes in the future.
Now we are told that the legislature
acted in response to what was at the
time plain demand of the people.
Here is an attempt to throw the
blame for the present condition of
things on the people. At no time had
the people in any way, or by any action
on their part, justified or attempted to
Justify such legislation. The facts are
that, as a rule, at the last session of
the legislature the bills were prepared
by the commissions, or others acting
for them; that the Individual members
of the legislature had little or nothing
to do with drafting the bills; that they
were told again and again the commits
sions and their experts could do that
work better than the legislators them
selves, and that all the legislators were
called upon to do was to vote for the
measures presented to them. After
all that was done, it developed near
the close of the session that so many
blunders, many of them inexcusable,
had been made, a curative statute of
approximately one hundred pages was
necessary. One would think that after
having the bills prepared by experts,
after session of nearly eight months,
after the adoption of creative stat
ute, our laws would be all right. Now,
however, comes a demand for an extra
session of the legislature. If an extra
session is called for the purposes stated
in the petition, we may here respect
fully ask, who will prepare the bills?
We certainly cannot trust those who
made such mess of it before.

More Than Taxes.

But more than mere salvation from
excessive taxation must any legislature
do if it is to bring satisfaction to the
people of Wisconsin. That object,
though great and urgent, is not alone
what the people of this commonwealth
are demanding.
They ask, and ask justly, for the
restoration to them of the self-gOvern-
ment of which they have been robbed.
They ask. and will continue to ask,
that the state tax commission be abol
ished.
They ask, and will require, the aboli
ton of various other commissions,
boards and bureaus.
They ask for, and will agree to moth
ing less than, complete reversal of
the attitude of the capitol toward our
citizenship. There must be reversal
of authority. Servants must no longer
pose as the masters. Indignant citi-
zens protesting against grievous wrongs
must no longer be damned in lordly
tone as barbaric yawpers. 1t is the
people who rule, and that fact must
soak in upon the understanding of
those who temporarily are elevated to
official positions.
The crusade is not to stop merely
with an attempt at modification by the
promise of taxes slightly decreased.
Great issues lie over and beyond, and
they must and will be settled, and set
tied right. We are having and have
had mad and preposterous overlap
ping of government. Layer upon layer
of administration has been piled, one
upon the other, over all our patient
people. Now there must be disinte-
grafton; the burden of government
must be lifted; commissions must go;
the people given their freedom, and re-
lief from arrogant inquisition. Re-
dundant inspections must end and the
wisconsin idea" be restricted to ra,
tional bounds. Nothing less will do.
If a special session of the Legislature
will accomplish these ends it viii
be welcome. If only it is to guarC
some small measure of relief from
taxes outrageously high it will come ii
vain. The long-suffering people OF
Wisconsin are in no mood now to be
satisfied with little belated sop.

bers Of the state want the law regulat-
ing their business changed; the water
power interests of them would
have the law governing their activities
modified; one citizen asks that regula-
ton providing for the assessment of
AUDITING property in cities to pay for
oiling the streets be changed. Numer-
Gus suggestions that the law providing
for county boards of education be re-
pealed, already are filed in the execu-
tive office.

OVER in Grant county the people are
going to get around the ''fool law, as
they term it, providing for a county
board of education by voting for five
candidates who have declared their
willingness to resign after being elect
ed, and thus render the law imperative
and of no effect in Grant county. Ac-
cording to the provisions of the law,
vacancies on the board must be filled
by the board itself, so if the board re-
signs and there is no board, no one else
has the power to fill the vacancies.
