If an effort was made to discover
the worlds most uninteresting play,
then broadway and Butterrnilk"
was the right choice.
1t is hopelessly and foolishly hay
seeded to death. 1t is silly hokum.
Every laugh I encountered was
caused by being bored to death. Why
in the world was this silly play put
on as a farewell by this company
of popular players? I am speaking
only for myself. Have your own
opinion.
Broadway and Buttermilk" is a
play of no entertaining merit. 1t is
down right silly. 1t means nothing
as contribution either to the stage
or to that broad term known as
entertainment. The actors are
powerless because of the play to
lift this drab and foolish material to
anything that resembles entertain
ment. 1t is So slapstick and so full
of hokum that "Peck's Bad Boy" is
a classic compared to this line Of
bunk.

Agreement Rumored
When the railroad taxation bill
came up in the Legislature rumors
began to be heard about the rail
roads having an agreement in writ
ing with me on that subject, which
would be made public sooner or later
to my great embarrassment.
Some of my friends came to me,
very much disturbed over the story,
but my only answer was, You in
wife any one who asserts that there
is such a statment signed by me to
publish it,"
The letter had quite a career. 1t
bobbed up at intervals for four years.
l could have given 1t to the press
at any time, but I chose to hold it
in reserve, preferring to publish it
at a time when 1 could use it most
effectively as an example of our OPP
ponents' preversion of the truth.

roads," I gave this famous letter to
the public. Here it is:
Madison, Wis, May II, 1900.
Dear Tom:
You have been my personal and
political friend for twenty years.
Should I become a candidate for the
nomination for Governor, 1 want
your continued support, if you can
consistently accord it to me-
But you are the attorney for the
Wisconsin Central Railroad Com
pany, and am not willing that you
should be placed in any position
where you could be subjected to any
criticism or embarrassment with
your employers on my account.
For this reason I desire to state
to you insofar as 1 am able my posi-
ton in relation to the question of
railway taxation, which has now be-
come one of public interest, and is
very likely to so continue until right
ly settled. This L can do in a very
few words.
Railroad corporations should pay
neither more nor less than a justly
proportionate share of taxes with
the other taxable property Of the
State.
IF I were in a position to pass
officially upon a bill to change ex-
listing law, it would be my first care
to know whether the rate therein
proposed was just in proportion to
the property Of other corporations
and individuals as then taxed, or as
therein proposed to be taxed.
THE determination of that ques-
