STATE TAKES ANOTHER "POUND."

Kenosha Telegraph Courier: The
willingness of the state tax commits
sion to get the full pound of flesh"
from the estates of deceased persons
in Wisconsin is shown in a letter, or
rather official order, received by Judge
Taylor in the county court this morn
ing. Under the new holding of the tax
commission the insurance paid to
widows and orphans OF deceased per-
sons is made subject to Inheritance
tax. Under the order of the commits
sion the rule is to effect all insurance
paid to legatees in Wisconsin since the
18th day of last June. Many estates
in Kenosha county which under the
old law would have been forced to pay
only small Inheritance tax will be
forced to pay considerable amount
under the new ruling of the commits
sion. Of course under the previous
law much of the money which had
been paid to widows, orphans and
others as Insurance on the lives of
relatives had been subject to the in
come tax law. However, there were
many who found a way to escape this
form of taxation, but under the new
ruling of the commission there is little
chance for escape. When the income
tax was assessed against such insur-
ance benefits as were returned for
taxation the county received some 80
per cent. of the amount collected on
these monies. Under the new regula-
ton the state will receive in excess of
80 per cent. In Kenosha county this
ruling will mean a vast addition to the
amount of Inheritance taxes collected.
Many of the men who have large es-
tates in Kenosha have also left large
insurance benefits to be paid to their
heirs.

In the United States, the question
of protection is a strictly partisan
question. The Democrats believe in
free-trade, the Republicans believe in
protection to American industries.
Every other political issue is subvert-
ed to that issue. 1t is the crux of the
political situation If man believes
in a protective tariff he has the max
ings of a good Republican If he is
cursed with free-trade proclivities the
voting majority want none of him
Hence, it is folly to speak of non
partisan tariff commission in the
United States A tariff commission
well and good. To collect data on
manufacturing industries and submit
it to congress for legislative action.
But nOn-partisan tariff commission
woul be a governmental eunuch.

GREAT CLUBBING OFFER.
Wisconsin Farmer and the WtertOWn
Weekly Leader For $3.50 For
Year-Offer Limited.

Mr.. Farmer: You know what the
Wisconsin Farmer is. You know
what the Watertown Weekly Leader
was and what it is today.
With the improvement made in the
Leader, the management is DESTROYS
of increasing the circulation several
hundred before the first of January,
1916.
The Leader is now recognized as
one of the very best weekly papers in
the state. Like old wine, it improves
with age.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the Leader can club with
the Wisconsin Farmer and for linn
tied time both papers will be offered
for the price of one-the nominal
sum of $3.50.
In this clubbing arrangement, far
mers of the county can secure a farm
journal of reputation and standing
and local county paper for the price
of the latter alone. This offer will
hold good for a limited time only
Notice will be given at the expiration
of the remarkable clubbing offer.
This offer is not only good for new
subscriptions to the Leader, but to old
subscribers as well. Every farmer
who is now a subscriber to the Lea
der who pays up his back subscrip-
ton, if any, and year in advance
will receive the two papers for the
price of one.
1t is urged that every friend of the
Leader on the rural routes and rural
sections, notify their neighbors and
friends of the exceptional bargain.
This is an offer that should act as
stimulus for a much larger subscrip-
ton list, to say nothing of the great
Improvement which has been made ia
the Leader.

LESS POLITICS, MORE BUSINESS.

The new naval advisory board con-
tains the best scientific talent in the
country. There was no politics in it's
selection. The government wanted
the best service and it appealed to the
famous scientific societies for assist
ance. The result is a board that is
beyond all criticism The manner in
which twas selected directs attention
to the fact that when the government
wanted an industrial investigation
with view to harmonizing the differ
ences between capital and labor, not
scientist of high repute but an OBJ
scure agitator was selected in the
person of Frank p Walsh. The re-
suit was disastrous The president
selected Walsh without consulting the
Missouri senator's, who naturally were
expected to pass upon the appointment
of man from their state If Eugene
V. Debs had been selected as chairman
of the Industrial Relations Commits
sion the country would have been no
worse off and the report of the COM
mission might have received attention
because Debs is frankly Socialist. If
business men of the country had been
consulted with reference to the enact
ment of the tariff bill, the business of
and the revenues of the government
would not have fallen off-Thomas F.
Logan in Leslie's.

TARIFF A PARTISAN QUESTION.

Fl. Fl. Gross, president of the Perma-
nent Non-partisan Tariff Commission
League. in an address before the ex-
position of chemical industries, held
in New York city a few years ago.
advocated the establishment of a per-
manent non-partisan tariff commits
sion. and cited the German tariff COM
mission as an example for the United
States to follow. He spoke of that
commission as being composed of Ger
man manufacturers and other indus
trial interests and as working toward
the welfare of the German Empire
Mr.. Gross believes the German tariff
commission illustrates the feasibility
of establishing a non-partisan COM
mission in the United States He is
not alone in his belief, nor in his fall
lacy The argument for nom parti-
san tariff commission is of long stand
ing, and of light weight, and is being
agitated today. A non-partisan tariff
commission in Germany is possible,
because the German empire is prac-
tically unit on the subject of protec-
ton to home industries That is a
policy accepted as correct by all par
ties. There is no partisanship what
sOever in the matter. The exclama-
