EASY TO DIGEST TAX BILLS.

One can not believe that the easiest thing
that the Wisconsin assembly does is to digest
a tax bill. The rather remarkable speed which
was shown in the passage Of the latest bill to
reach the legislature should be an eye-opener
to the people of the state. This bil-the most
important piece of legislature to come before
the session-Was written and engrossed in the
assembly in period of less than seventy-two
hours Creditable reports from Madison de-
clare that but two members of the lower house
of the legislature had read the bill. 1t is
probable that ninety-nine per cent Of the men
who voted for it never saw it.
This may be tribute to leadership-it may
proclaim the wonderful faith that the majority
of the members of the lower house has in a
couple of men, but it can hardly be said to
represent intelligent consideration of important
legislature These men may know that they
voted for a tax bill-one which would divide
the burden of taxation-but the one best bet
is that not one-fifth Of them have the slightest
idea what they voted for or could figure out
their own income tax under it.
This is entirely in keeping with the way the
whole tax problem has been handled in the
present legislature. 1t has been series of
don't -get-the-money- bills with no one
knowing just what the legislature was driving
at except few political leaders who stood in
the background and declared that they had
mandate from the people to keep the pocket
books from being stepped on unless they were
bullying pocket books
1t may be that this is an intelligent way to
run the affairs of great state, but somehow it
is hard for us to see it.
It is to be hoped that the state senate viii
at least insist that this bill be read twice in
the senate and have the sanction of some com
mittee before it is railroaded into law It's
easy to pass bill to take money and other
things out Of people Of state, but it's hard
to correct the errors made We do not counsel
useless delay in legislative action, but we do
believe that the members of the legislature
should know what they are voting even though
the people of the state are kept in complete
ignorance Of details of important legislation.

GAINING.

More Americans are being born than
are dying. Census figures show that
close to % babies were born last year
for each 1000 population, with only IL
deaths. asss
That gives US an excess of II births
a~year for each 1000 population. It
means that Americans are increasing
in numbers nearly 100000 a year
without the aid of immigration. At
that rate, it won't be many centuries
until we have as many people as
China.
Nature will kill off the surplus by
wars and disease epidemics if we get
too many. Increasing population, when
it reaches a certain point, breeds it's
own destruction.
