The board met in the office of Sec- retary of State Frear and went over the situation, having in hand reports from the various departments and ac- countants. While no final action was taken, it i3 believed that it will be possible to remit all the state tax this year, as has been done for the past successive six years. Difficult Task This Year. The task is exceedingly difficult this year ou account of the large ad- ditional and extraordinary appropna tious made by the last legislature and ou account oi the increased cost of the university. However, from ti o estimates discussed by the board it seems possible to avoid a direct tax this year, but it may not be possible to do so next year. The board did not come to a final conclusion because it was desired to get more complete and reliable information, so that no mistake be made and the possibility of embarrassing the state be avoided. Next Saturday the board will hold another meeting for the purpose of taking final action. In the meantime information will be had from the cap- itol building commission, as to how much of the capitol appropriation | will be required during the coming I year; also similar information from the university as to tho expensive new buildings to be erected there next year; from the state board of control regarding the binding twine factory at the state prison and other institutional improvements authorized by the legislature. Unless this re- vised information shows that the ex- penditures for these purposes will ; aggregate much more than the pres- i ent estimates indicate, there will be ! no state tax levied this vear.

The Canadian deputy minister of itol is 1600,000 a year for nine years. The commission, however, is not us- ing as much money as it is authorized to use, because the work is not going as fast as to require so much. How- ever, it is contemplated by the com- mission to clear away the old east wing and lay the foundation for the new next year, and also to build the new heating plant, which will cost uoout 1500,000. The board of control thinks that it will be impos- sible to do any work ou the twine factory this year and that it will not be possible to place the plant in op- eration before 1909. The situation with respect to the new university buildings is not known definitely. The total receipts of the state for the year coming will aggregate be- tween $5,500,000 and $6,000,000. No Tax for Capitol. It is believed that it will be pos- sioie to remit about $607,000. This would cover $157,000 ou the twine factory appropriation and $150,000 on the new capitol. The board is de termined that no tax shall be levied for the purpose of building the cap- itol and it is possible that nothing whatever shall be levied for general state expenses at all. The usual so-called mill school tax, for which the state treasury is merely a distributing agent or .clear- inghouse, will be levied. This tax is collected uy the state from the counties and is distributed or ap portioned back to the counties ac- cording to law. A year ago, largely through the in fluence of oecretary of State Houser, half of the school tax was remitted, as well as all the general state tax. This put the state treasury in some- what narrowed circumstances and in addition to the situation thus created, the legislature made numerous large and extraordinary appropriations, so that it was apparently assumed that is would be impossible to avoid levy ing a state tax this year. However, these appropriations were in part offset by large income, from railroad and other corporation taxation, from inheritance taxes and state land sales. The inheritance taxes the com- ing year are estimated at at least $200,000 and may bo twice that sum. labor has told the management of the Spring Hill, (N. 5.,) mines, whv r | there is a stride that the govern nient at Ottawa may be compelled ! this week to buy 60,000 tons of coal for the International railway in the United States.

GOVERNOR DAVIDSON DECLARES GOOD GOVERNMENT DE- PENDS ON FARMERS. SAYS THE LEGISLATURE STAYED LONG BUT ENACTED GOOD LAWS. Madison, Oct. 9. Some 200 farmers who raise to- bacco, comprising ihe members of the tobacco growers’ branch of the American Society of Equity, met in convention in the assembly chamber of tne capitol yesterday. The pur- pose of the organization is to enable the growers themselves to “corner” the market and dictate the price by holding the product until the demand sends up the price. Oue detail of the scheme is to have the members prac- ! ticaiiy piac* their Crops into the | hands of the officers of a designated i agent of the association. Governor Davidson addressed the meeting in the atternoon, declaring his sympathy with the purposes of the organization. He also defended the last legislature against the charge 1 of extravagance and explained the needs of the larger appropriation*, which were made. He also declared in favor of a national franchise law or some system by which the federal i.government would exercise regula- tion over corporations doing inter- i state business. | j.*.e governor began his remarks I * . h a complimentary reference to ; the farmer as the one upon whom I rests much responsibility for the i kina of government had. He said in i substance: | “I always love to meet with a com- j pany of farmers. I have a fellow- I feeling for them, for the first work i- - did in this country was on a farm. ! and I have confidence that I could ! make a good living and be happy if I were to return to the farm. Upon the men of the farms depends the government. Watch out, then, and send good men to office to make the laws. If any man prove unfaith- ful to his public trust, let the farm- ers retire him to private life. I do not know the details of your organ- ization. but so far as I know it, I am sure that I am In sympathy with its purpose. Every class of corporations is organized; why not the producers, the farmers? The corpo ations have their meetings to consider the mar- ket, to curtail production and allow prices to regain a profitable level; why not the manufacturers of corn and grain and tobacco? I would not advise you as an organization to en- ter politics, but it is the duty of each men of you to take an interest in pol- itics. It is up to you to see that we have good government. You select men for office and they come to Mad- ison or the county seat to perform the trust you impose. Watch them carefully, and if they prove unfaith- ful, it becomes your duty in main- taining good government to retire tfi ■ unfaithful public servant from p. lie life.
