viii be some legislation along the follow
ing lines: To regulate the issuance of
stock by corporations to regulate insur-
ance and adjust insurance taxation to
correct and perfect the primary election
law additional regulations concerning
factory inspection, child labor and pure
foods; for regulation of public service
corporations not now embraced within the
powers of the railroad rate commission
and to impose additional power upon that

The fisheries of Wisconsin are assets
which the State should carefully foster.
The work which has been done by the COM
missioners of fisheries in the past in the
propagation of game and commercial fishes
is commendable. Statistics tell Us that
SoO0,O00 was received by the fishermen of
the Great Lakes in Wisconsin during the
year 1905 and the inland fisheries of the
State are worth as much to our people.
Their value is not alone in the product, but
is found also in the money spent within
our borders by summer tourists and fisher
men from without the State and the recrea-
ton afforded for our citizens

state Board of Forestry.

The small beginning which the State
made in scientific forestry in 1908 has
grown until the forest reserve now COM
prises 254, 072 acres, under the supervision
Of the State Board of Forestry. No State
is more bountifully provided with great
rivers and lakes, and geological surveys
show that Wisconsin is tie greatest water
power State in the Union. When it is borne
in mind that the forests Of the northern
part Of the State preserve the head waters
of these great streams and prevent both
drought and floods, the necessity of wise
foresty policy is at on(e apparent. The
financial returns in those States and coun-
tries which have practieed forestry often
show an annual income of from $3.50 to
$500 per acre.

The only adequate remedy for excessive
charges by public service corporations is
the regulation of the rates by public au-

this power directly or it may delegate the
authority TO any appropriate public
agency. This doctrine has long been rec

State.
