Statute Regarding Railroad Docks,
Piers, Wharves and Grain
Elevators Is Considered
to Be Vague.

MaG2soa.-State Treasure. Henry
Johnson, after consulting with Gov.
Philip and the members of the state
tax commission, decided to refuse to
pay to Milwaukee, Superior, Manito-
voc and other municipalities interest
ed any of the taxes to be collected on
railroad docks, piers, wharves and
grain elevators as provided by chapter
407, laws of 1915, until the Wisconsin
Supreme court has passed on the con-
stitutionality of the statute.
1t is estimated that the taxes to be
amount to $150,000, of which Is per
cent is to be retained by the state
and the rest apportioned among the
different communities in which the
taxed property is located.
The law provides that the state tax
commission shall make separate
valuation of this property before it
certifies the state railroad taxes to
the secretary of state in January and
that the state treasurer shall collect
the taxes of the property and after
deducting Is per cent for the state,
return the balance to the communities
In which the property is situated.
The state treasurer told the COVER
nor and tax commissioners that in
view of the doubt he had concerning
the constitutionality of the statute, he
believed that no money should be paid
out by him under it until the Supreme
court had held the law valid.

State Board of Control Wants the

Mothers Pension Act.

Madison-The state board of con-
troll asked the attorney general wheth-
err counties could be compelled by law
to make an appropriation for mothers
pensions, and whether boards of super
visors which failed to do so at the
November meeting may legally do so
at the January meeting.
Three county judges asked the board
of control if they could be compelled
to sign orders for the payment of aid
to destitute mothers under the law if
their board of supervisors had not ap-
propriated money for that purpose.
The statute is compulsory, but only
twenty-seven of the forty-one counties
from which reports have been received
by the board of control have made ap-
preparations for mothers pensions.
