High TAX RATES
IN FIRST DISTRICT
E. A. PoIleys Furnishes Sta
tistics of Taxes Paid Per
Acre on Lands in Differ
ent Sections of Wis.

Kenosha county's general property
tax on land per acre for the year 1918
was 81, 500 according to statistics COM
piled by 7 A. Polleys, tax commission
er of the G. & N. w. and the Chicago
st. Paul & Omaha railroads. The
taxes per acre on the lands in the 9TH
er counties of the First Wisconsin dis
triet are; Racine county, $1.915; Rock
county, 1882; Walworth, $1,269; and
Waukesha, Slab.
The average rate of increase in the
total taxes in Kenosha county since
1913 is $50. The state income taxes
per acre which have been levied for
the year 1918 was .0759 cents.
Amount Sufficiently Impressive
The present amount OF our tax bur-
dens is sufficiently impressive but we
have every reason to fear that the very
high rate of increase now prevailing
in such burdens will not be and per-
haps cannot be rapidly reduced and
that the taxes of five years from now
for all classes of public purposes, may
very likely be very much more than
they are at the present time. With
reference to the startling rate of in
crease in taxes now prevailing, / will
lay before you the following compari-
sons Of the amount of taxes paid or
to be paid by the Chicago and North
Western within several of its states
for the year 1918. In Nebraska an in
crease of 228s; in Michigan, Iowa and
South Dakota an increase in each in
stance of between Is and 209o; in ILL
nois probably somewhat mare than
900 increase in the state as a whole,
and not less than 5000 in the city of
Chicago; in Wisconsin an increase Of
approximately 25Go. In each of these
states the increases in the taxes of the
North Western are not because of any
increase in the tax valuations of our
property but are solely by reason Of
the increases in the general tax rates
prevailing in those states.
Still On the Increase.
The total tax burdens for 1918, borne
by general property in the State Of
Wisconsin, were, as I recollect, between
81 and So millions. AS it now seems
to me from the imperfect information
as yet at my command, the total gen
eral property tax burdens for the year
1919 in Wisconsin cannot well fall
much if at all below 72 millions. The
average tax rate payable by the rail
roads Of Wisconsin in the year 1920
Chased on the general property taxes
for the year 1919 will not be much,
if at all, less than $18 on the 1000
of true value, as against somewhere
around GA on the $1,000 which was
paid year ago.
\ The total tax burdens borne by gen
eral property in the entire state of Wis
consin for the year 1919 will probably
amount to not less than 70 millions.
At a much less rate of annual increase
