recognizing the tax commission, re
adjusting and replacing the duties
which have been imposed upon the
commission into the departments
where they rightfully belong.
I'm the first place the bill proposes
a transfer of the collection of the in
hcritance tax back to the office of the
attorney general where it was prior
to the year 1911.
Second, in regard to the valuation
and assessments of the steam rail
roads and public utilities Of the state,
the bill proposes to transfer this duty
70 the railroad commission and the
engineering staff which is the joint
property of the railroad and tax COM
missions is placed under the super
vision Of the railroad commission The
purpose of this change is to simplify
tn whole matter Of the valuation and
assessment Of properties of this char
acter and consequently reduce the
cost.
"The bill proposes that the valua-
tons of railroad properties and public
ut Titles should be made by the rail-
road commission and where the val
uation is needed by the tax commits
physical properties of railroads and
public utilities the railroad commits
sion is required to furnish the in
formation on file to the tax commits
sion.
Accounting Systems Could Be Dropped.
Third, in regard to the accounting
systems introduced into cities, towns,
villages and counties by the tax COM
mission, it is the opinion of your COM
mittee, as we'll as the opinion of the
tax commission that this could be
very we'll dropped from the list of
activities of the tax commission.
Fourth, in regard to the supervisor
of assessment mentioned in the bill,
the county boards are given the right
to control their own assessments and
to elect supervisor of assessments
for term of three years, decide on
his salary, and determine the number
and remuneration of his assistants.
He is required to furnish a bond for
$5,000.0O.
"The bill proposes a tax commission
composed of three commissioners, one
of whom shall be the active head of
the comission, while the other two are
to be the governor and the state
treasurer, both as eX-officio members
Of the commission. The salary of the
active commissioner is placed at
$4,000. He must take up his residence

flee nor serve on any committee of
any political party

by the commission on real estate in a
the market value of the property in
question. These conditions have lead
the people of the state to claim that
the commission has been arbitrary and
bureaucratic in it's methods and the
people of the state no doubt have had
some justifics ton for the feeling that
the employees of the commission have
been entirely too arbitrary in the
pursuit of their duties.
Your committee has taken consid-
cradle amount of testimony from the
members of the commission and from
citizens of the state and the commit
tee feels that there has been a great
deal OF justification for the complaints
that have arisen.
Growth Unwarrarted.
"The growth of the commission has
been unusual and unwarranted. Duties
have been imposed upon the commits
sion by law; other duties have been
transferred to the commission by law;
While unnecessary activities have been
assumed by the commission. The COM
bining of all these duties and activi-
ties has made the commission - large
important commission and Us also
made it very costly one to the state
Of Wisconsin Some of the duties inn
posed upon the commission should be
repealed; some of the duties should be
transferred to other departments and
some of them should be discontinued
altogether.
Since the organization of the COM
mission in 1899 the cost of maintaining
the activities of the commission for
each years is as follows.

farmers will be especially interested

Gilbert Speaks on Change in Taxing.
Wide interest is being shown in the
administration bill to reorganize the
state tax commission. Addressing a
committee Of the legislature on this
subject, former Attorney General
Frank L. Gilbert said:
There has been a widespread de-
rland throughout the state for a re-
organization of the present tax com
mission. 1t has been generally claim
ed that the procedure of the commits
sion has been arbitrary; that its
growth has been unusual and unwar-
ranted; that each succeeding legis-
lature has added duties TO the COM
mission, and that the commission has
enlarged upon and appropriated activi-
ties which were not intended by the
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-06-09
Y Nine months.

When the commission was organ
lied for the purpose of securing fair
and equal assessment of property
throughout the state and an equaliza-
ton of the taxes as between the differ
ent counties of the state and the vari-
Gus municipalities. The commission
at that time consisted of one commits
sioner and two assistants, together
with some clerical help bit cost of
about $4,000 a year. With the addi-
tiop of the duties enumerated above,
the commission has grown to three
commissioners at a salary Of 100000
year each, legal counsel at 3d.
10000, a secretary at a salary of 49,
100000 a year and about one hundred
and twenty-five assistants, consisting
OF stenographers, statisticians, engin-
GERS, accountants, clerks and travelling
agents at cost of $1S5, $4,000 for last
year.

trainers Of the original commission,
nCr of the succeeding legislatures.
cit has also been claimed that the
commission has accomplished the
main purpose for which it was created
and because of that fact, there is little
need for the commission to exist in
its present form. The main object in
creating the commission was to Sc
cure an equitable and fair assessment
of properties of the state, together
with a just and proportionate levying
of state taxes. That this object has
been secured is freely admitted by the
commissioners themselves. Conse-
quently it is fitting that at this time
the duties of the commission be in
CURED into and a reorganization
brought about such as may seem wise
to the legislature.
Three Commissioners Not Required.
ct is true that the main construc-
tive, formulative period in the life of
the commission is at an end; that the
duties which are now left to the COM
mission are largely performed by the
clerical force in the Office. and that
the work will not require the services
of three high priced commissioners.
For instance, the large task which
was imposed upon the tax commission
of valuing and assessing the railroad
and public utility properties of this
state has been largely accomplished
and the large joint engineering staff
which is maintained by the railroad
and tax commissions has become, in
the main, an arm of the railroad
commission. Likewise, in the general
property assessment of the state, the
work of the commission has been or
ganized and accomplished so that the
task of making the state levy on the
general property of the state has been
thoroughly covered 1t is the opinion
of the members of the commission as
stated before your committee that
this yearly valuation could very we'll
be made every second or third or even
fifth year instead of every year as is
being done at present
Employees Arbitrary, Claim.
at has also been claimed by a great
many citizens of the state where re-
assessments and valuations have been
made that inexperienced outsiders
have been sent into these localities by
the tax commission to make the valu-
alton Of the local property. This has
been followed, as a rule, by general
annoyance, trouble and sometimes Iiti-
cation. Valuations have been placed,
it is claimed, away above the market
values of property in localities where
valuations have been made. 1t is true
that the duty imposed by a former
legislature on the commission was to
bring the assessment of all property
in the state up to q full value. This
of course has not been an easy task
fer the tax commission and would
naturally find considerable opposition
In the localities where the revalua-
tons were made. However, a great
many instances have been cited to the
committee where the valuations placed

LACK OF MONEY
MEANS CLOSE OF
FAIRGROUNDS

Although school does not open until
September -. the public Fairgrounds
located at the Baxter, Whitewater,
Hibbard and Warner schools will
close next Saturday on account of
lack Of funds. The East End play
grounds will be kept open until the
end of the summer
The Fairgrounds at the schools have
been open for ten weeks and accord
ing to a statement made byRobert
Nohr, Jr, director of physical educa-
ton, have had an average daily at
tendance of between 500 and 900
children.
The funds for the support of the
summer schools and recreation
grounds are supplied by the city,
which turns over to the Recreation
Committee a certain percentage out
of the taxes. This year it amounted
to about $500, but only half Of that
sum is available at the present time.
The balance of $500 is not paid until
December.
Besides the amounts specified above
there was over $500 turned over to
the Recreation Committee as the re-
suit Of the exhibition of physical
training held last May and this money
was used to help defray the expenses.
