According to w. J. Gleason, state
president of the Wisconsin Retail
Liquor Dealers Protective association,
the fight to keep the nation from going
dry will not end with the action Of
various legislatures. "We will keep
on with the hope of saving millions Of
dollars to the government, the NUM-
cipalsties and to property owners"
said he, land we will keep on fighting
to the end to prevent the prohibition
lists from depriving us of our personal
liberties. Should Milwaukee go dry
with the rest of the country it Will
mean a loss of more than $45O,OOO to
the city in license money alone. Thou
sands of men would be thrown out of
employment at time when the labor
market is being flooded with unem-
ployed. believe the people of the
nation should vote on a question like

Judge Chester A. Fowler recently
In circuit court at Fond du Lac hand
ed down a decision which makes IL
legal the method employed by the
state tax commission in assessing
trust estates under the income tax
law
The decision will have far reaching
effect in the operation of the law, par
ticularly in cities whsre there are
number of trusts administered. The
point was raised as to the illegality of
the method in the assessment of the
estate of Benjamin Wild, ST., a
wealthy Fond du Lac manufacturer,
who left his estate in trust to his six
children, the language of the will be-
ing such as to create six separate
trusts. The income from the estate
was $4,000. The income tax assessor
assessed the $4,000 as a single in.
come, after allowing the combined de-
duction Of the six benefciaries.
This made high rate applicable in
computing the income tax. The board
of review sustained the manner of as
sessment by the assessor, from which
the trustees appealed by writ of GER
tiorari, claiming that the estate should
have been assessed as six separate
trusts of $4,000 each, and using the
lower rate in computing the tax.
The court held that the point of the
trustees was we'll taken and annulled
the assessment. He held that although
the trustees invested the estate in its
whole, the letter of the will did not
oblige them to actually set over one
sixth part to each heir. Owing to the
fact that the decision strikes at one
of the fundamental principles of the
income tax law and were it allowed
to stand it would greatly lessen the
tax derived from trust estates, an
early appeal to the supreme court will
be taken in order to obtain a final in
depreciation.

It is easy and inexpensive to have

will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and

Aair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only

Total against the resolution-39.
While Wisconsin's ratification of the
prohibition amendment did not change
the result, the verdict in the nation
making prohibition permanently effect
tive one year from date will close out
an extensive industry in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has more saloons than
any other state which has ratified, ex-
cept the state of Illinois, and in pro-
portion to her population Wisconsin
has more saloons than Illinois. Wis
consfn had last year 1O,621 persons
holding federal retail liquor tax re-
ceipts (including drug stores and all
other places retailing liquors.. AS
there are 956 druggists, it leaves 1855
saloons, cafes, hotels, restaurants and
other vendors Of liquors. The pOpula-
ton of Wisconsin is ESTIMATED 1879
2,473, 633, so that there are but little
more than $50 population for each
saloon.
The farmer members of the legisla-
ture would limit the, length of the
legislative session to 80 days. To
accomplish this proposition Assembly
man CAM of Almo has offered a res
olutiOn in the house asking for a
constitutional amendment, fixing a 90
day limitation. In recent years the
length of the legislative session has
been about six months. Assemblyman
CAM has letters from a large number
Of the members of the legislature
pledging support to his measure.
