ed after laws which are In force in

cleanliness and to do what is needed
to prevent the spread of any of the

Senator Echols. of the finance COM

for publication. The bill is known to
carry bit more than $6,9o0,000 for
the year beginning March 1st, and
about 100000 less for the year begin

The committee has been working
hard to keep the appropriations we'll

they have raised the appropriation to

districts where the property is To-
Gated"
Both speakers emphasized the fact
the real reform in taxation was the
result of development after deep
thought and hard work on the part
of the reformers. In the case of New
York the system of special taxes has
been developed during the past TWEEN
ty years. The proceeds OF these taxes
go chiefly, although not entirely, to
the State treasury and for saveral
years have made it unnecessary to
levy any tax on the general property
assessed for local purposes, the So
called direct State tax.
In Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin the entire tax question
is controlled by tax commission
which was organized tweive years ago
with no power but to study the situa-
ton This study has gradually led to
complete understanding of the stu
alton and knowledge of the various
problems involved which, enables the
commission TO render valuable a ID to
the State In the matter and to pro-
tect the individual against unjust as
sessments.
The root of the tax>auestion lies in
the obscure districts and is based on
ignorance of the needs. To the ques-
ton. work and exhaustive study must
be brought and the WORK must be CEN
tralized in the State capital rather
than being divided in a number OF
centers variously situated in the
State" said Mr.. Adams
Mr.. Adams holds that some indus
tries Statewide in utility should pay
to the State. while others just as GER
tainiy belong to the local government.

the greatest interest on the part of the
reformers. the hardest W rk and the
most religious study was needed to
attain a degree of perfection or fair
ness in correcting the evils. Think
ing men must be employed on the job
continuously and they must be paid
sufficient to keep them on the Job"

Proposal Rejected
This proposition was turned down
and a counter-proposition was pro-
posed by which a preliminary caucus
OF both bodies was to be held of the
entire emocratic membership OF the
general assembly for the choice Of
u candidate Of the Southwest This
was refused by the Kelly faction. and
the fight L. something to speculate
on. Everybody Is at sea and the wind
is dead calm
The friends Of Judge West claim
that they have the nomination cltnch-
ed. but Kelly looms large In the back
ground. The friends OF Judge Kelly
declare that they have enough votes
to win. bu; the politicians are scratch
ing their heads for an answer to the
problem.
There is much talk among the lob
tory. but tonight, on the floor of the
caucus, the records of the two men
Will be torn to shreds and discussed
to the fullest extent. The entire night
Will practically be taken up with
this fight aud the nominations for
judges OF the circuit. corporation and
other courts will probably have to be
post poned for another time.
Kelly Optimistic.
II Is freely stated that Judge Kelly
has a large number OF votes pledged
10 him as second choice. but on the
other hand 1t Is said that Judge West
will bring such vote from the east
ern part of the State that Judge
kelly's supposed majority will fade
ike snow before a summer sun.
The hallotf.g will start about 10
o'clock, after the innumerable noni-
nation speeches. and It will take from
four TO six ballots to eliminate the
lesser lights. Just how the fight will
go is a matter of speculation, and the
result will be obtained about mid
night
