CLOSE OF SESSIONS

AND SEWING SCHOOLS MAIN
TAIN INTEREST TO END
MAY Be HELD HERE NEXT YEAR
Success of Schools Speaks Well for
Proeressivenes Of cur Farmers,
Dairymen and Their Wives

The remaining sessions of the
Corn-Dairy and the CooklnS-SeWlng
School-in addition to those reported
in this paper last week-malntained
the high level of interest and impor-
tance. established in the opening, as
regards the subjects considered, and
the able manner in which they were
handled Practically the whole day
Friday, in the Corn-Dairy department,
was devoted to the consideration, by
ThOs. L. BeWick, Of WeedS-thOse
among the earliest of the farm boys
acquaintances and which perhaps &C.
cupy about as grim a place as any
in his recollection. "Quack Grass, :"
which holds the bad eminence" of
being among the most tenacious OF
life, received much consideration.
The other most common noxious
plants were also studied In the alb
sence of specimens for observation,
pictures were used, which enabled
the observers to get an idea Of the
appearance of the weeds. The seeds
of the farmers various botanical
depredators under consideration were
also on exhibition and were studied
by the members of the school.
This department of the school was
closed by F. H. Scribner, Of Rosen-
dale. Mr.. Scribner who seems to
be in the confidence of the dairy COW
to a great extent, and who apparently
knows as much about her constitu-
ton and bylaws as she does her
self, was formerly employed by the
federal government, in lines of work
similar to those to which he was as
signed in these meetings.
His attention was given Saturday
of the herd, by the use of a pure
bred sire, and a careful selection of
the young animals, to see that only
those that confOrmed to the dairy
type are made the basic animals for
breeding purposes.
Consideration was also given to
the barn, and various questions re-
lating to making an old barn meet
modern requirements of lighting and
ventilation. In this connection, tu-
bcrculosis in cattle, the necessity of
tuberculin testing, and the ravages
of this bovine plague We're pre-
sented to the listeners in man
ner so forceful as to make deep and
lasting impressions.
The speaker closed his remarks
with an invitation to the farmers Of

HOME CONTROL OVER TAXATION
One cf the Recommendations in
Report Of Tax Commission

Madison Jan. 1S.-The comforting
upon counties, towns, cities and vii
lagos of a limited measure Of home
rule in matters of taxation is one
of the most important recommends
tions in the biennial report of the
state tax commission to exempt, as
they wish, designated classes of prop
placed upon other classes. 1t is ap-
proved in several counties in the
north, where it is declared it would
lead to a large increase in settle
ment by an added tax on unimproved
lands held for speculation with an
exemption in favor of lands in
process of Development 1t is de-
manded in many communities in the
southern part of the state, as
means of exempting industries to
some extent so that they will be en-
couraged to come into the COM
munity.
The proposal is a step toward the
HluCu dHdtISLuiASu oluSAo LcA, Ou'
it has worked with excellent results
in Oregon and in Winnipeg and 9TH
ar Canadian cities. A proposed
amendment to the constitution to
permit this change was passed by
the last legislature for the first time
and will be again introduced for
passage in the present legislature be-
fore it is referred to the people.
Tax Changes PROPOSED
Assessment Of all property full
value.
Elimination of waste in d stribution
of mill tax.
Exemption of all personal property
from the tax roll.
Taxation of machinery attached to
buildings with real estate.
Assessment of water, light and
other public utilities Immediately by
the commission where they lie in
more than one district
Taxation Of motor vehicles by
horse power Or weight.
Assessment of real estate once in
four years.
Extension of home rule in taxation.
1t is believed that if this amend
ment is passed the legislature would
not permit the complete exemption
of any forms of property, but would
authorize counties and municipalities
to reduce the assessment of certain
classes of property, say 10, Is or per
haps so per cent.
The commission in its report
shows the increase in the equality
Of taxation to all classes of people
by the extension of the true value
assessment. 1t points out the fact
that under the present system of dis
tributing the mill tax, certain coun-
ties are benefitting unfairly at the
expense of others. 1t shows that
the difficulty of fairly assessing per-
sOnal property and the efficiency of
the income tax makes it possible to
drop the former.
The waste of assessing once a year
is pointed out. The report declares
that this leads often to a mere copy
ing of the assessment of the year
before, especially where the assess
or is retained from year to year 1t
declares that once in four years is
often enough to make the valuation,
to confirm the ratio of increase
which may be adjudged by the as
SCISSOR.

MEETING OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
Large Number of Business Men At
tend One of Best Sessions in
City's History

A very-much-alive and interesting
meeting of the Commercial Club
was held at the city hall Saturday
night, with President l.. E. McGill in
the chair, and Phil S. Reed, secre-
tary. Among the routine business
transacted was the election of three
additional directors; r. B. MacDon-
aid, O. e. Peterson and J. w. Car
ow-the other members of the board
being L. E. McGill, j w. Fritz, w.
E. Thompson, Thos. Baker, John Ry-
all and Phil S. Reed-and L. c.
Streater was appointed treasurer,
vice T. F. Armstrong, resigned.
! Despite the unfavorable night,
some thirty representative business
men were present, and what the
meeting lacked in numbers was GER
tainly made up in animated discus
sion-in which everybody partic: psf
ed-of matters of unusual Importance
along city development lines. Many
instructive points were brought out,
and considerable significant action
taken.
Committees were appointed, besides
one to arrange for tonight's meeting,
to confer with the city council, with
view to the provision of perman-
ent quarters in which the club can
meet; for the censoring of special
forms of advertising; for the confer
ring with certain industries that are
seeking a location.
Regarding the promotion of city
development, the great preponder-
iance of opinion seemed to be that
the places that float the bigge st
banners and raise them the highest,
describing what they want and what
they have to offer for it, get the
business. The securing of the 500
railroad was given as an illustration
of the proper course to pursue. How
not to do it, was also shown by this
city's loss, to Rice Lake last spring,
of the Excelsior factory.
Ladysmith, it was held, is strategi-
cally located, has the railroad and
market facilities and natural resour-
ces, but unless something additional
is forthcoming etc.-her
growth will not be commensurate
with what her opportunities promise
and some other city within her at
present large, logical circle of terri
tory will arise and dominate the sit
uation. A majority present favored
granting every possible and reason
able inducement to industries seek
ing location. A city appropriation
for advertising purposes was also
favored
The drawback of the present legal
status of water power development
was referred to. It's remedy, by leg
islation, it was held, was hampered
by the mistaken idea of the southern
part of the state, as to the attitude
of northern Wisconsin; and propagar-
da was favored looking to the edu-
cation of that section upon the SUBJ
ject.
Another meeting will be held in
the near future, on call of the presi-
dent.

GIVES GOOD ADVICE
Rev. Robinson Speaks to Students in
OlisSt Town In South
Carolina.

Georgetown. S. c.. June 1.-THE
ccpmenCcm Mt exercises of the
Howard school Of this city took place
today; The Howard school FOR
negroes is one of the Oldest in the
state of south Carolina There are
u teachers, with an enrolment of
nearly 1000 pupils This year quite
fifty received diplomas.
The graduating exercises TOOK
place in Bethel A. NJ. E. church, the
largest church of that denomination
in the state. Moro than 1000 per-
sons were OUT, including the board
CT education, both Of the bank presi-
dents, the mayor of the city and
about 100 other prominent white
citizens. The annual commencement
address was delivered by DR.. J. G..
Robinson, Of Zine Bluff, Ark. Dur
ing the course of his address, he
said:
81 have been talking to schools
and colleges so much of late, that |
fear some of you will think | call
myself teacher, but | am not. | do
however, congratulate myself on
in the town whore still stands the
house in which George Washington
and Lafayette spent night and ate
their meals. | also congratulate
myself because | am in the town
where DR.. H. T. Johnson, the great
est editor cf the negro race was
born. Young people, this is a coun-
try founded upon the principles Of
liberty and righte ousness, and what
ever may have been tho trials of the
negro, &c has conformed to the prin-
ciples OF the nation, and obeyed it's
Ii VS., and he will ultimately come in
possession OF all th, privileges ac-
corded other men. Right here in the
South is the place for the negro. You
should stay here and work out your
destiny. We are bringing to our
cause friends by the thousands each
year, and they will be multiplied in
proportion as our ignorance and
crime are wiped out. We have made
mistakes. What people have not?
+ Five Of the best men in the South
have made the mistake OF abusing
the negro, and yet they are good
men. | refer to the Hon. Ben. Till
man OF your state. the Hon. Thos.
Hardwck of Georgia, the Hon. Nor
ris Shepherd Of Texas, the Hon. Jas
X. Vardaman OF Mississippi, and the
Rev. Thos Dixon, Of North Carolina.
These men have strewn thorns
along the Negroes pathway, yet under
Gcd, we have been pushing them out
Of the path by the school and the
church house. The negro must
build we'll homelife of Christianity
and honesty; the negro must prac-
tice economy, and live within his
means; the negro must let whisky
alone, and live life of sobriety;
the negro must be honest and law
abiding, and grasp every opportunity
to serve and make good in the com
munity in which he lives. He must
huri to the winds by his action, that
he does not seek social equality So
called, but that he seeks justice"
