Wisconsin banks are taxed on their

nearly half of Wisconsin cities have
compromised with the banks, al
lowing them a lower taxation than
that provided by law. Lake shore
cities have compromised on Ia SIS
Of SO per cent and in many smaller
cities the compromise has been on
20 per cent basis. If the stock
taxation law is repealed and banks
are taxed on incomes the amount
received will be approximately the
amount now paid by banks under
the compromises which they have
made with various cities. Dwight

Howling hounds, expressing their
displeasure at Imprisonment, have
prevented sound slumber and
frazzlled the nerves of residents OF
I Asbury St., according to complaint
receivd by Mr.. Fixit today.
- DEAR MR.. FIXIT: This is my
first complaint to you, but we have
reported to police several times and
it doesn't seem to do any good. In
the 1900 block on Asbury ST., there
are three or four dogs kept penned
or tied that almost run the neigh
bors wild. We can't sleep day or
night for their bowling and barking.

years old going to start in Septem-

go alone up there across railroads
and street car tracks? And also
could a small baby carry her lunch
up there?
Last year we had a portable
school by the Riley Hospital, but
they tore it down on account of
the hospital.
There is no hope for building
nearer your home, D. T. Weir, as
sistant superintendent Of schools,
told Mr.. F'ixit. The school your
mentioned was closed because or
insufficient. attendance, according
to Weir.
The school board has no objec-
ton to the child bringing the
lunch, but the safest route for her
should be determined. Weir sug-
gested via North to Blake ST.,
thence south involving the cross
ing of only one street car line, the
Michigan St. line.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: There are
Several large holes in the gutter at
208 E. Twenty Eighth st. Every
time a car hits them the water and
mud splash over the sidewalk. A
little concrete Is all that is neces-
sary.

Otto J. Smelcer, superintendent
of improved streets, said he would
repair the holes as soon as his
force of men has finished patching
n up streets damaged in recent

DEAR MR.. FIXIT: Would like to
call your attention to the fact that

sary revenue. Cordell Hull, Demo-
crat, Tennessee. suggested that If the
States could adopt uniform laws he
was in favor of leaving this kind of
taxation to the commemorative, but
until such could be accomplished he
was in favor OF leaving the Federal
law on the statute books.
Prof. Adams OF Yale, opening the
morning session today, declared the
progressive tendency in American
life had become convinced of the eff
cacy and justice of the Federal in
heritance tax, and even should the
tax be abolished within a short time,
this tendency would bring 1t back
within few years.
Indulges in Prediction.
Prediction that the Federal Gov
ernment could get along without the
Inheritance tax, and that 1t was a
political possibility to abolish it.,
Prof. Adams said II it should be
abolished and left to the States, the
states would probably make such use
OF 1t that the "demagogue would be
furnished situation on which he
may ride to power within few
years" Proposal for early adoption
urged by Prof. Adams included re-
duction of the present tax rates, de-
clared to be entirely too high, "adop-
tion of rates which can be enforced
and administered" thereby develop
ing more favorable psychological
attitude of the taxpayer: change the
arbitrary definition of the size of
shares OF stock, and establishment OF
Government machinery to terminate
delay in settlement of disputes ever
collections of Federal inheritance
taxes.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Dewey, declaring that the American
ideal looked toward equal opportu-
nifty for all 'in building for the fu-
ture," said that "a man cannot be ex-
pected to continue to work, day after
day, increasing through his efforts
the productiveness of this country
and thereby benefiting the living con-
ditions Of others, if he knows that
upon his death the major portion Of
his earnings will be dissipated in
Federal estate and State inheritance
taxes"
Productive capital suffered from
burdensome inheritance taxes, Mr..
Dewey said, warning that 'it is es-
sential, therefore, in levying taxes to
raise revenue, that we do not destroy
the sources from which that revenue
is derived" Mr.. Dewey related a
fable" in detail Of the operation Of
State and Federal inheritance taxes
which drove one manager of a sue
cessful business to retire, TO invest
his earnings in tax-exempt bonds and
move to Florida, where there is no
inheritance tax. "A. tax system" he
said, which penalties the creative
spirit and discourages initiative can
not be the right system for Amer
ica," said Mr.. Dewey.
Prof. Bullock of Harvard discussing
the future of estate and inheritance
taxes, declared that if the revenue
is not absolutely needed by the Fed
eral Government and is in fact a
positive incentive to extravaganza, 1T
should be repealed at the earliest
possible moment. and this conference
should reaffirm the resolution adopted
at Columbus in 1907 to the effect that
succession taxes should be reserved
wholly for the use of the several
States" There were only two pos
sible plans in sight, Prof. Bullock said
either "one tax, levied by the Fed
eral Government; or We should have
a system mot a choas) of taxes
