Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the Wisconsin State Tax Commission to the Legislature, 1900 The first edition of this report was printed just before the legislative session of 1901. Such first edition Was prepared and printed in some haste in order to be ready for use of members at the opening of the session. It was the expectation at that time to add somefurther matter to the report and print a more complete edition for general distribution, as soon as practicable For this reason the first edition was limited to such number of copies as was required for immediate use, and was designated as Part I. It was then intended to add to the first edition, among other things, a discussion of the subject of taxation of life insurance companies and a statement of sundry needed amendments relating to the administration of the tax laws. It was intended also to add some statistical tables and other mat ter showing more in detail the facts set forth in the text of the first edition. The preparation of such additional matter was very much delayed by the pressure of work in drafting sundry legislative bills and otherwme assisting members and commit tees of the legislature upon taxation measures. Before work on the second edition could be taken up the subject of taxation of life insurance companies was disposed of, temporarily at least, by the enactment of chapter 21, Laws of 1901, and it was found to be more expedient to present suggestions for the sundry amendments referred to in the form (if legislative bills. It was found also that the] preparation and printing of much of the de tail matter would very considerably delay publication. Conse quently this second edition contains but little additional mat ter. A few slight changes and corrections are made in the text, but none is of sufficient importance to require special mention or explanation. Norman S.' gilson.
