SHOE STORE Bhd d ada tod do PN ge Millions Its Wisconsin is building a new state capitol to cost from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000; expenses of maintain ing its government are heavy, and yet its people are not to be called upon for ome penny of state tax this year. Under the law a school tax of one mill must be levied, annually, yet so plethoric is Wisconsin's pocketbook that half the amount required for the schools will be paid from the state treasury, leaving hali a mill tax as the only state burden imposed upon Property owners. Civil war claims to the amount of over $1,000,000 have been collected, together with back taxes from rail- roads. But Wisconsin's financial pros- perity is due principally to the laws requiring corporations to bear a greater shave of the general burden than they have done in the past. With a generous balance in the treasury at the beginning of the year, and a revenue expected from corpora- tions more than equal to meeting the running expenses of government, why not relieve the people of a state tax ? Were it not for the building of the new capitol the entite school tax would have been paid from the treas- ury, and the people would now be enjoying the unigue distinction of remaining absolutely untaxed - for state purposes. With all bills paid, Wisconsin's trea- sury on January 1st, contained $1,- 500,000, and it is estimated that the year's receipts, with state tax elimin- ated, will be $4,689,700. As total disbursements are not ex- pected 'to + -exvesd i : seems no need of 'troubling the people with a state tax, and so none will be levied. In' fact, a tax for the maintenance of the state government has not heen imposed since 1902, although the one- mill tax for schools was regularly col- lected, Now, however, even half the fund re- quired by law to be raised for*school purposes will be paid from the over- flowing state treasury. Generally speaking, the people were quite satisfied with the remission of general state taxes. They didn't con- sider it a hardship to pay the ene- mill tax for achool purposes. Rich Helped The Poor. This was not a tax for the main- tenance of state government. It was simply an arrangement = whereby the richer, more densely populated coun- ties aided the poorer ones in estab- lishing and maintaining schools. The money all came back to the taxpayers; they were satisfied. But when the ample pockets of Wis- consin expanded so that she must find a means of exhaust for her surplus coin, she looked around for some way to ease the burden of her children still further, and could find none ex- cept. to cut this one-mill tax in half. What could be done about it? The law said specifically that the tax must be levied. After considering oth- er plans, the state board of assess- ment--the governor, secretary of state and stato treasurer--hit upon one which worked admirably. They would satisfy the law by col- lecting the tax; hut, instead of taking ell from the poor taxpayers, they would simply collect half, and trans- fer the other half from the account of was the state unusually large. " So only the half of that one mill matter of remitting all the mill tax was considered, but it was decided to leave enough money in the treasury to provide for exigen- construction of the new was levied.

The state's expenses had doubled in since 1890, but the meantime, caused the rank and fi zens no uneasiness; the increased bur- den fell upon backs well able to bear it. As long ago as 1896, a man named La Follette--later Gov. R. M. La Fol- lette--tried to tell the people of Wis consin how the railroads and big cor- porations--then operating under license fee system---could be made pay all the expenses of running state. It was a simple enough remedy that he suggested--that were taxed. The fact that the man happened to aspirations to the governorship may have had something to do with it, but, anvhow, the people refused to take his panacea at cause he wouldn't let go of his idea, he was twice defeated for the guberna- hold torial nomination.
