1. “Sec. 123.15(6), Stats., applies where a partner has been active in contributing his skill and labor toward the affairs of the partnership on a day-to-day basis. There, his labor is compensated for by a share in the partnership profits. This section does not apply where the skill and labor of the partner are his contribution to the capital assets of the partnership, as in the instant case. The return of such contribution on liquidation is not remuneration, but a return of capital investment.”
