assembly passed a war resolution de-
clarinc that the cost of the war shall

William r. Evjue of Dane county de-
clared that the resolution would be fol-
lowed by a bin providing for an in
creased income tax on all incomes in
excess Of $1,000.
The report Of the tax commission just
issued shows that during the past
year there were 1000 people in Wis

Of the state dairy and food commission

ers' association an astonishing state
ment regarding the 1915 production Of
WiSconsn's milk and meat business,
which shows on good authority that by
keeping up steam" the farm factories
Of the Badger state can turn out a
huge part Of the food needed for civil
Iian and military use.
on the basis Of an eight hour day
every day Of the year, the total pr0duc-
ton in dairy and live stock lines was
summarized as follows: Production
every minute-butter, 756 pounds
cheese, l349 pounds; condensed milk.
2.264 pounds; meat, 1856 pounds. The
meat listed Includes everything except
poultry-veal, pork, beef, mutton. POul-
try statistics show 56,000O00 dozen

Estimates for 1916 have not been
worked out, but it seems likely that the
increase over 1915 will be markedly no.
