WOES OF WISCONSIN

Even if misery does love
company, we would hate to see
another state get into the po-
sition that we are here in Wis
cOnsin. You ought to be glad
you are doing business in Min
nsota."
That is the conclusion of a let5,
ter written by a wisconsin manuS
facturer to friend in the same
line of business in St. Paul. He
sketches the depressed condition of
business in that state as the result
of the TAXATION policy Of sthe legis-
lature and his conclusion is -nfat
the burden ofxtaxes laid on manu-
featuring Industry lis SO great wto
say nothing Of new expressions in
measures pending at Madison
that competition with similar in
dustries in other states is increas
ingly impossible and nothing is
left but removal from the state.
1t is interesting to recall that
two years ago, before the radical
machine of Wisconsin had so firm
ly intrenched itself in power, the
industrial interests were given 4
hearing before the legislative COM
mittee in charge Of taxation mat
tiers. Among other things it was
shown that one of the largest pro-
ducers of Milwaukee paid Wiscon-
sin taxes at the rate of $65 a year
for each man employed. while the
same concern paid in Ohio $27 per
man. Another manufacturer testi-
fed that his Wisconsin taxes were
$50 per man, while he paid in Ohio
$25 and in New York $37 on the
same basis. AS the result of the
showing at that hearing several of
the more oppressive tax laws were
defeated. but the burden Of taxa
ton was SO increased, notwith-
standing, that the exodus of indus
tries from Milwaukee, Kenosha,
Be'oit and other manufacturing
points has taken place, as hereto
fore stated in these columns.
1t is important that the effect or
such a situation be thoroughly un +.
derstood. If state requires a
certain revenue and proceeds to
drive out large sources of taxa
ton, those sources of taxation
which remain must supply the en-
tire revenue. This makes the bur
den increasingly heavy upon the
industries which the state retains
and they must advance their
prices accordingly throwing the
burden upon the co9sumer, or elsa
close their factory doors and add
/, to the ranks Of the unemployed
This means loss to all business
