A few days ago the papers CT the
late Governor Taylor of Wisconsin
were found in a barn at Cottage
Grove in Dane county. The pa
pers have been brought to Madi-
son by O. d. Brandenburg and DR..
Joseph Schafer, secretary OF the
State Historical society. These
papers are of great value from a
historical standpoint.

When you come to place like
Palm Beach it makes one wonder
whether we Americans are turning
into a nation Of gamblers. OF
course, we've always been a peo-
pie who took chances. We could
not have won the wilderness and
conquered the continent that was
our business. If in our diversions
we continue the same instinct that
gave us dominion from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, do we not run the
danger of leaving undeveloped the
other side of our nation, that which
makes for more elevated pleasures,
pleasures such as books, music, and
good talk? When not playing golf
at, sometimes, 500 hole Eyes, my
dear, this is not an unusual bet on

other little white ball whirl around
the shallow basin, men and women
here are for the most part playing
bridge. Nah Jongg, by the way,
is losing much of it's erstWhile vo-
que. The bridge stakes here run
everywhere from 21a cents a point
to 25 cents point. This means
that those who take part in such
games are not entertaining them
selves; they are earning their live
lihood or protecting what they al
ready have from others eager to
get it-Exchange.
The i1ea Of taxing big business
sounds we'll for the farmer on the
surface but because of the fact that
all business, down to the smallest
industry is so closely inter- woven
makes it impossible to overtax any
body without having that organiza-
ton shift the load elsewhere.
In his usual pat" way Arthur
Brisbane has summed the matter
up in brief pointed way in his
column He says:
"The state of Wisconsin, espe-
cially it's skilled mechanics and far
mers, should take an interest in
taxation.
'The idea is to make big indrS-
tries and big merchants pay all the
taxes, double the inheritance tag.
provide a big fund to pay wages
to all unemployed, etc.
"That sounds interesting, hat The
plan as outlined will drive indus
tries across the Wisconsin line into
Illinois and other states. The
JohnS-Manville Company, Palm
Olive Soap and the great Simmons
furniture concern have moved ont
of Wisconsin already.
"If Wisconsin carries cut too
thoroughly a scheme that would
drive industries and employers to
other states, there will be plenty
of applications for the unemploy-
ment allowance, and that allow
ance won't be as good as regular
wages.
1.-TWO more of it's biggest con-
Germs in Wisconsin now plan to
move out. If employers move, of
course the workers will follow, for
they can't live forever on the I'M
employment allowance.
eff the workers go, who will buy
the stuff produced by farmers?
at is possible to overdo taxa
ton no matter how virtuous your
intention"
