Charles D. Rosa papers, 1911-1952.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145776183

Papers of Charles D. Rosa, a Progressive Republican who served as judge of the Beloit, Wisconsin municipal court, 1906-1912, state assemblyman, 1912, 1917-1918, and member of the state tax commission, 1921-1937. Correspondence falls largely into two categories. The first is comprised of political letters, most of which deal with Rosa's first term in the 1916-1917 legislature and with his unsuccessful campaign in 1926 against John J. Blaine for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. During Rosa's terms in the legislature, a number of letters relate to bills he sponsored on hotel and restaurant licensing, mothers' pensions, soldiers' bonuses, and the city manager form of government. The second group of letters consists of Rosa's correspondence as tax commissioner. Among his correspondents were John J. Blaine, Stephen Bolles, Henry Allen Cooper, Herman Ekern, William Evjue, Glenn Frank, James A. Frear, Walter S. Goodland, Merlin Hull, Paul Husting, Ada James, Richard Lloyd Jones, Robert M. La Follette, Robert M. La Follette, Jr., Philip F. La Follette, Solomon Levitan, Charles R. Van Hise, and Fred R. Zimmerman.

Wisconsin. Tax Commission

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6ck3098 (corporateBody)

The 1899 Legislature provided for the office of Tax Commissioner to supervise the state's taxation system.

Rather, the two agencies were coordinated when the tax commissioner was made a member and the presiding officer of the board. In 1901, the tax commissioner and the two assistant commissioners became the State Board of Assessment, rep...
