STATE POLITICS AND
 POLL TAG RECEIPTS

Little Rock, July 7.-Poll tax re- ceipts afford an interesting study for those interested in Arkansas politics. In race for State auditor a year ago, the fact that poll tax blanks, returned to the state from various counties, and supposed to have been destroyed, had found their way back to the coun- ties, thereby permitting many illegal votes to be cast, created quite bit of excitement It was one of the turning points of the campaign.
 Now Auditor Oliver receives a re- quest for some of the old, and unused blanks, from a county in Arkansas. The blanks that are not used in the various counties will not be returned for a month or so, but when they come in, Auditor Oliver declares they will be destroyed.
 One county in Arkansas, where there has been considerable political censure in the past, and where a county seat contest is scheduled, has ordered 2500 extra poll tax blanks. Such local fight is going to make business pick up for the school fund, for it will cause the registration of hundreds who have heretofore evaded the payment of their just taxes.

PACKING PLANT IS CLOSED
Farmers Cooperative Company of la
Crosse Has Not Proved Success.
Lose 100000 in Two Years.

La Crosse-Affairs of the Farmers
Cooperative Packing company of La
Crosse, the first institution of its kind
started in the United States, will be
aired in court. The plant is closed
and the business will either be wound
up through a receiyership or sold.
Over $500 farmers, who are stock
holders in the enterprise, are eagerly
awaiting the trial of an action started
by the Langdon-Boyd Packing COM
pany, to recover $4,000 alleged still to
be due on the purchase price of the
plant
That sensational developments ex-
pected in the trial of the case will re-
veal in part how the farmers lost over
100000 in two years, is the contention
of parties to the action. 1t is said
that books of the company will show
that $4,000 was spent in organizing
the cooperative company; that the
spelling of one batch of meat cost the
company over $4,000, and that mis-
management was responsible for the
loss of thousands of dollars additional.
The sale of property, it is expected,
will not yield the stockholders over 10
cents on the dollar invested.

Don't TrifIe With Truth.

When you repeat something which
someone has told you, be careful to
give it the same meaning as the, one
who impaired the information.
Often the change Of one word puts
an entirely different meaning to a
story, which leaves a wrong impress
sion.
If you had cataract on one eye,
and you contemplated a simple opera
ton in time which would effect cure,
how would you like to hear that you
had "gone blind?"
Perhaps your father has moved his
business to, a distant city where there
is an asylum for the insane. Under
these circumstances how would you
like to hear in a public place that
your father had "gone crazy?" Yet
this very thing happened. An incor-
rect information gave the impression
that the man had gone to the asylum
and stupid friend misconstrued the
statement.
Some people, too, like to add just a
little sensational touch to whatever
they repeat. They think it gives pep. >
Satisfy your vanity in some other
way than perverting the truth. Pitts

DOWN HALF-MILE DRY BILL
Measure is Defeated After Spectacular
Debate on Floor of the
Assembly.

Madison-The assembly has again
killed the Schiewitz bill for half
mile dry zone around the Soldiers
home at Milwaukee. The final debate
on the matter was spectacular, it be-
ing charged by Assemblyman Evjue
that unless something were done to
clean UP conditions around the home
that there was every probability the
home might be closed by the federal
government. Assemblyman j. G. Han
son Of Dane county read report Of
J. E. Grain, governor, and Fl. Hamill,
treasurer of the home, declaring that
approximately 500 deaths have oc-
Cured at the home in the past two
years, and that of these at least 80
per cent were due either directly or
indirectly 60 the use of liquor. The
report also declared 80 per cent of the
offenses at the home were due to
drunkenness. 1t declared further that
a half-mile dry zone would reduce
drunkenness in the home SO per cent.
Assemblyman Evjue offered an
amendment providing that the licenses
of existing saloons shall continue until
their expirations This was adopted.
Assemblyman Carl Hansen then
moved the indefinite posrponement of
the bill which was carried by vote
of IS to AZ.

1916 STATE INCOME
TAX IS S5,344,395
CORPORATIONS Pay $3,743, 100
WHILE INDIVIDUALS ARE
ASSESSED $1,6o1, 213.
MINE OPERATORS PAY MOST
Lead Bankers in Last Years Assess
ment-Fourteen Persons in Wis
consin Have incomes Over
100000.

MadiSon-T are 1856 taxpayers
in Wisconsin who have incomes in ex-
cess Of $4,000 annually. These con
stitute one-sixth of / per cent of the
total number of taxpayers, who are
assessed for 1895 per cent of the az
gregate tax and the average tax on
each person in this group is $4,865.b1.
These facts are contained in the forth
coming report of the Wisconsin tax
commission. For the year 1916, which
tax is now being collected, a total tax
of 1884, 393.51 was assessed. Of this
sum, SO, 743, 1905 was assessed
against corporations and $1,601, 213.35
against individuals. Corporations pay
approximately 70 per cent of the tax
assessed.
A total of 62,272 individuals paid in
come taxes in Wisconsin this year and
of this number 42,422 had assessable
incomes of $1,000 or less. There are
fourteen persons in Wisconsin who
have incomes in excess of 100000,
and these fourteen individuals pay
slightly better than 10 per cent of the
entire tax assessed against individu-
ais. While these figures are surprls-
ing, it is a fact that 1856 taxpayers, with
incomes in excess of $4,000 in the
state, actually receive 1856 per cent
of the total income of all taxpayers.
Contrary to the common belief, farm
ers of the state are assessed for 1886
per cent of the entire tax on individ-
uals. 1t is also interesting to note that
in the past two years the class of mine
operators has climbed from sixth to
first place in the amount Of tax pay
able Bankers and capitalists, who
led in 1914, with an average tax per
taxpayer of $11633, are forced to take
second place to the mine operators,
whose average tax is $148.70. The IN
crease in the mining tax is caused by
the impetus given the industry as the
result of the European war The ll6
mine operators comprise only nine
teen-hundredths of i per cent OF the
total number of taxpayers of 62,272,
but pay LOT per cent of the total tax
agains individuals.
