Warns ASSESSORS.

That property in Wisconsin should
be assessed at actual value. no
more, no less, and that employees
of the state should refrain from polit-
ical activity while acting for the state
were the points urged by Governor
Philip in an address to the assessors
of incomes gathered in annual confer
ence in the assembly parlors.
If / learn of any employee of the
state. over whom | have any control.
becoming politically active in my be-
half, | shall ask for his dismissal; If
! learn that any state employee is &C
tive in behalf of any other persons
shall also ask for his removal" was
the way the executive made himself
understood.
Political activity by men in public
service Governor Philip declared is
wrong, in fact, disgraceful. AT the
same time, he said, he would not de-
prive any man of the right to vote
and think as he pleases.
Governor Philip urged the assess
ors to be considerate of the people
with whom they have to deal and to
explain 10 them truthfully the materi-
al facts relating to assessments and
taxation.
1T is just as much of a violation
of the law of assessment to over-value
as to under-value," said the executive,
who explained that he had heard COM
plants, particularly from the northern
sections of the state. Men have
come to me-" he said, and offered to
sell me lands at rs per cent of their
assessed value" The state ought not.
he said, to assess property at more
than its value. 1T should be as
sessed at just what it is worth; no
more. no less"
Governor Philip urged that mas
much as it is the policy of the state
and the nation to conserve the re-
sources of the state, care should be
taken in assessing growing timber so
that the burden of taxation might not
compel the owners to sell or cut the
timber. prematurely.
Your work has been good" said
the executive to the assessors in con
clusion. Assessments of property in
the state have been made ore uni
form and equal than they were, and
your task is to make them still more
equal"

Rosenberry succeeds earnee.

Justice John Barnes of the state
supreme court rendered his resignation

A gardener at Randers hired a man

The hired man began to work with mis-
overcoat aud mi:tens on. His employ

do some decent work the gardener
told him that he might just as well
quit his job. But the gardener re
fused to pay him anything. and a law
suit was the result. The court held
that the course of the gardener was

NORWAY.

The government budget for the fis-

the effect of the war on the small neu-
| trail European nations. The total In

get is s5,235,O00. This does not cover
the extraordinary expenses incurred
by the mobilization of the army and
navy which the war made necessary,

with the prospect of this amount ris-
ing to s13, 500, 600 for the next period.
