being the amount claimed from the

And speaking of income, tax, we are
again forcibly reminded of the impracs

the entire amount collected, above off
sets to personal tax, was 81, 767 80
This year the total amount collected is
81 800 SO OF this the state receives
$3.50 04. the county $3.50 0S, the towns

that in rural communities at least, it
costs more to collect it than the entire
tax? So long as the federal govern
ment assesses an income lax Wiscon-

to pay a second tax. In fact we are
practically the only state where this
second levy is exacted,
