Adams Figures.

Every student OF Professor Adams
tax demonstration" must pause in
amazement when he strikes Table 3,
which purports to show the cost OF Ger.
tain commissions, and the proportional
amount of all taxes consumed by them.
Here are his figures for the three
leading ones:
Tax commission, $2S, 200.
Railroad commission, 1927, $50.
Industrial commission, $17,S50.
How are these figures obtained? and
what do they represent? The table
dosen't show. They are little larger
than the bare salaries OF the commits
sioners, but not, as rule, large enough
to include salaries of the commission
ers and chief clerks.
Take the cheapest one Of these, the
industrial commission. According to
figures which we believe to be official,
that commission uses the services OF
fifty-three persons. at ar aggregate SAL
AIRY of $74, $50. Thoy are AS follows:
Three commissioners, one assistant, one
secretary, ten factory inspectors (male)
three factory inspectors (female), four
statisticians, twelve members OF the
public employment bureau staff, one
building inspector, one deputy (women
and child labor, and bakery inspector,
one chief examiner for workmen's com
pensation, one working fellow OF the
university of Wisconsin," six stenogra-
piers and eight clerks.
Here is the sum Of nearly $4,000 paid
out in salaries, while the total cost OF
that commission last year, according to
the secretary of state was $50, 995.53.
Thus, it is seen that the plan, OF Of
fetal figures, authority for which we
have on file over the signature of the
states officers, show that the industri-
al commission alone costs the state four
times as much as Mr.. Adams says 1t
did and more than the amuont OF his
statement for all three of the commits.
sions under consideration.
The railroad commission, according
to the secretary of state, costs $l65, 366.
IL. the tax commission 1857, 955. SO.
These figures of course include the
amounts paid for the hire of assistants
travelling expenses and Office expenses.
Mr.. Adams evasion does no credit tn
his own intelligence. He knows that
what the people are complaining about
is not merely the amount paid TO the
commissioners for salaries, but the
sums paid out for assistance and other
expenses. He knows that these charg-
ges are all properly included under the
head OF various commissions, and have
actually been SO included In his Office,
and had never been separated until he
separated them himself to meet the ex-
igencies Of his defense.
The taxpayers are not going to be
turned aside by such flimsy special
pleading. Wausau Record Herald.

REAL SECRET OF BADNESS
Under Certain Conditions, the Man
Whose Hair Has Gone May az
Well Abandon Hope.

The actual condition of the scalp
and of the hair has very much less to
do with the health Of the latter thar
is popularity supposed. The bulbs OF
the roots of the hair go down com.
pletely through the skin and into the
fatty layer which lies between 1t and
the skull, and the thing that to the ex.
pert eye Is really significant OF the
prospect as to progress or cure in o
particular case of badness Is not the
condition, or color, or cleanliness OF
the scalp, but the thickness or thinness
of this fatty layer which underlies it.
So long as this Is present and the
scalp Is freely movable over the skull,
there Is hope OF restoring a reasonable
growth Of hair; but when this fat has
been absorbed and the shiny scalp
sticks as closely to the skull as the
cover on q baseball, the outlook ID
practically hopeless. This, Of course,
shows at once the futility of most OF
the local applications to and manipula
tions of the scalp, from which 1t sui

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, lAA

A Chicago Judge has declared that
so per cent. Of girl and boy delinquents
are children OF divorced parents, and
the Department Of Agriculture has is
sued bulletin in which it says that
not glven-of the
delinquents are the product of unlovelys
uncomfortable, insanitary, farm home
which drives sons and daughters to the
city. Maybe the farm boys and girls
make up the SO per cent. whose ante
cedents the Chicago Judge has not yet
ascertained. So with domestic felicity
in town and plumbing and bay window
in farm houses the social question
would be solved. Every child would be
brought up in the way it should go
and would decline to depart from it,
However, the problem may be re-
regarded as complicated in view of the
fact that from other sources eq Tally
reliable statistics accounting for the
delinquency OF boys and girls with
equal cock-sureness can be had. If the
various causes should be listed and the
figures footed up it would be easy to
prove by statistics that there Is no
chance for any considerable number of
bipeds to escape careers OF vice and
crime.
The New York World, which places
the Agricultural Department bulletin
and the, Chicago judges statement side
by side observes that only hopeless con-
servatives nowadays ascribe the vicious
ness of anyone to faults that are separ.
able from the influences of environ
ment and that it is always wrong to
"bla.Le the boy" or the girl.
1t was doubtless in the hollow of the
hand CT Providence that many millions
OF decent young men and women ma
tured under the influence OF old-fash-
Toned lawabiding. Godfearing parents
who placed The blame for delinquency
elsewhere than upon the nebulous goat
called society" before twentieth
century theorists found out that nobody
is responsible for his or her own vices
and crimes, but everybody is to blame
for those of someone else. Neverthe-
less there are those who still believe
in trusting to the combined influences
OF a sympathetic creator and rod to
keep the child in the straight path,
and who doubt the wisdom of teaching
the younger generation to lay the
blame where it is most easily laid in
stead OF admitting their own moral ac-
countabiity.

Progressive Tom FooIery.

A story that Is almost incredible
comes from Wisconsin, the home OF the
eugenic marriage law. The story Is
that provision OF that law makes 1t a
felony for any couple to evade the law
by going out of the state to get mar
ried.
Good heavens. Wisconsin must be
qualifying to be the original and only
single state. What business is 1T OF
hers or Of her legislators where her
citizens choose to get married! One
naturally reaches for the constitution
OF the United States. And not without
consolation. ARTICLE w., section z.
Citizens OF each state shall be entitled
to all privileges and immunities of citi-
zens In the several States" including
let US hope, the privilege OF getting
married anywhere that is convenient,
and immunity from arrest, trial and
punishment for so doing.
The Wisconsin reformers have slop-
ped over very badly in their engenlc
marriage law. What the law aims to
achieve is, OF course, desirable, but the
doctors testify that the law would avail
nothing TO achieve 1t. 1t is simply an
impertinent piece of Legislation that
tries to compass an end good III itself
by an intoleratle and inexpedient regu-
laton of private life. People adjudged
responsible must be left to shoulder
their own responsibilities. The whole
contemporary aspiration to transfer to
the state the responsibilities that prop
erly fall on individuals must come to
nothing. Watch now to see the Badg-
ers rise up ard pitch this absurd law
out of their statute book. Life.

bare ROOM in front of US Is a great
frame, perhaps 20 feet in width; in
front of the frame are seated half q
dozen women and girls, whose deft fin
gers fly like lightning as they break
off two or three inches Of wool from
punches of different colors that hang
over their heads.
With incredible activity they knot
this little piece Of yarn to one of the
threads of the web, choosing with mar
velous exactne3s the right shade to
match the pattern that is before them
So rapidly do their fingers move that
one can scarcely follow them, as with
all the skill and exact precision Of a
practiced piano-player they break OIL
and tie the little piece of yarn, reach
for another of a different color, break
1t off and knot it, keeping up this ex-
acting task for hours at a time, until
one aches in sympathy with the tired
hands that are flying in and out In

Coniiscatory Taxes.

Here in Madison, within a few blocks
of the university, is little vacant lot,
only 35xI00 feet, that is assessed at
over $500. 1t gladly would have been
sold at any time, or will, be sold now,
under $500. The tax on that plot is
This year ........,......&!.72
Last year it was. ..,..... $26.35
If it we're sold at $1,800,-but it can
net be,--and that sum were loaned at
six per cent, the income would be SlOS:
SO that today the owner is paying as
taxes some 81 per cent of the highest
possible revenue which the property
could return! Last year it was about
rs per cent.
And Madison's local tax for general
city purposes, as stated by Mayor Rein
is some $4,000 less than last year while
the states levy against this municipal
ity is Sll2, 900 more
II the same increase in imposition
occurs, year hence that little lot up
near the university will have over
half of any possible return OF which it,
or its utmost cash equivalent is capa-
BILE, consumed by taxes alone!
On your lot, on your home, Mr.. Read
er, what per cent Of the possible in
como are you paying? Apply the facts
and figures directly to your own per-
sonal case and see what stupendous
burden, what an outrageous and con-
fiscatory tax, government, mere govern
ment, is imposing on you.
One OF Madison's most prominent
citizens declares that more than 81
per cent Of his income goes in taxes.
A widow in nearby city has prop
erty worth perhaps $1,000. Its great
est possible revenue could not exceed
S4O0, yet her taxes are 1874, or more
than 80 per cent of the income. Last
year she paid less than 1888 in taxes
So yoa see locality is no element to ex-
plain the trouble.
Over in the township of Blooming
Grove, out at Verona, ten miles away,
in fact, everywhere so far as one
learns, the same extraordinary situa-
tion respecting taxation exists. What
then must be the conclusion? Nothing
is palmer. State taxes are at the bot
tom Of the whole bad business. There
is no escaping that cold fact.-Madison
Democrat.
