Need Of State Parks.

The state park problem is attracting
considerable attention at the present
time. In commenting on this Hon. ..
A. Cook of Neenah said: Not year
masses in Wisconsin that does not VIII
ness the absorption by private lndl-
viduals of large tracts of land for their
fine water power or for their plctur-
esqueness. Within ten years, II this
process is kept up-as 1t is likely 10
be-we shall have no attractive places
where a man may go to find recreation
in camping or in fishing without Sc
curing permission from owners. Inc
idea Of the legislature in providing for
a state park board was to have the
state secure large tracts of land in PIC
turesque portions of the state to be
kept for all time for the use OF the
public-places where the seekers
after health or rest could go and,
without money and without price,
and free from all interference on the
part Of owners, set up their camps and
enjoy nature in its wild state. The
members of the state park board serve
| without pay because they are deeply
| interested in securing for the state
such reservations. They have in view
six tracts in as many different portions
of the state, and when the legislature
| meets will recommend the immediate
| purchase of one or more of these. If
| the one in the lake region of northern
| Wisconsin is purchased, for instance,
it means free fishing and camping
grounds forever for those who enjoy
nature in her wild state. 1t isn't in
tended to improve ,nese parks, but to
maintain them just as they are pre-
| served in their natural beauty from

FIear in Tax Statement.


Secretary of State Frear issued a
statement on the state tax levy and its
relation to the county tax for 1906 and
1907, and sent copies of it TO members
of the legislature, county officers and
other persons in different parts of the
state During the last few weeks he
has received large number of letters
of inquiry regarding the state tax for
1907 The statement is accompanied
by a letter giving the reason for its
preparation and publication. The let
ter is as follows The inclosed state
ment has been prepared from the rec
Ords in this department in response to
inquiries received from other counties.
The subject is one of interest and inn
portance to the general public, and
you will observe that the statement
shows the relation of the state tax
levy to all other taxes collected in the
state, also the direct effect upon your
county of the state tax levies of
l906-07, The method Of distributing
the common school fund back to the
counties is also explained. The re
mainder of the state tax as stated Is
directly or indirectly shared by the
several counties for educational pur-
poses. The fact further appears that
the state tax is, on an average less
than ten per cent of the entire levy
within the state for all purposes, and
that two-thirds of this is directly re.
funded to the different counties of the
state. Any additional information on
this subject viii be cheertully fur.

Speaker Cannon says that women always
comand one vote, that Of the man Of the
family. and that If they had vote Of their
own it would be unfair. Women, he thinks,
have so many other privileges that they
can afford to forego thstprivilegs OF vot-
ing. He tells a story apropos OF women's
attitude In the matter OF privileges. One

Two college girls OF wealthy families left
New York a short time ago to study the
conditions OF the factory girls life In Troy,
N. Y. They have Just returned TO their
homes, very much wiser for their explor-
ing expedition, and quite ready to tell OF
the adventures they had. They worked

They left New York with SIS each for
railroad fare, and a determination TO live
for two weeks on what they could earn.
They went to a working girls home in
Troy and told pitiful stories OF their in
ability to get work in New York, their
invalid parents and their starving sisters
and brothers. These tales were promptly
declared "fishy" by the woman who kept
the house, but at length they obtained
rooms for 81 a week.
