WANT ONE DISTRICT
Rediyision of State of Wis
consin Desired by Collector
of Customs Deyos
OTHER DISTRICTS CREDITED

Once again the fight to have the en-,
tire state of Wisconsin in one Gus
toms district has been re-opened.
Leading in the effort to have Wis
consin get full credit for all its ex-
port and import business, instead of
helping other districts to make great
showing through Wisconsin business is
collector of customs, William H. De-
vos of Milwaukee.
AS the customs districts are now
made out, the New Orleans customs
district sweeps up and takes in part
Of the southwest section Of Wisconsin,
including Lacrosse as the principal
port. On the other hand, the Mar
quette, Mich, district swings over and
scoops slice from the northern and
northwestern section, including Superb
or.
What this means to Wisconsin, Col
lector Devos makes clear by referring
to the figures for 1902 covering the
exports and imports at Superior. The
imports in that year amounted to
$61, 246, and figuring on rs per cent
duty, this means more than $4,000
duty collected and credited to the
Marquette, Mich, district, though tax,
en- in at a Wisconsin port.
The valuation of clearances in the
1902 report is shown to be $76,531 ,051,
and the valuation of arrivals, $27,12S,-
537. Credit for these, too, goes to
the Marquette district instead of to
Wisconsin, the state in which the port
is located
Lacrosse figures would show a big
credit to the New Orleans district, as
superior, under the present system Of
districting gives credit to Marquette
The plan Of Collector Devos is to take
off that portion of the New Orleans
district that extends into Wisconsin,
lop off the Wisconsin end Of the Mar
quette district, and, consolidating these
additions with the present Milwaukee
district, form one large district COM
prising the entire state and to he
known as the Wisconsin district. This
would do away, he contends, with all
necessity for the Marquette district.
The fight for this re-distrieting
which is one of long standing, is just
re-opening and the favorable action of
Congress must be secured before the
desired changes can be made.

Protective Assn, Will De-
mand New Legislation
TO INTEREST ALL SPORTSMEN

The executive committee Of the Wis.
consin Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation met at the Plankinton house in
Milwaukee to discuss informally a
plan for an advertising campaign in
Wisconsin to arouse those interested
in the preservation of fish and game
and encourage the formation of sports
men S clubs for this purpose.
A committee Of three, M. A. Beck,
H. Mullen and T. M. Toll, with head
quarters in Milwaukee, was named to
take charge of the campaign and issue
circular letters urging the formation
Of protective clubs, the circulars to be
| followed up in true advertising style.
It is the intention to hold general
meeting in Milwaukee next fall after
statewide interest has been aroused
in the work. The association favors
the work of the conservation and will
cooperate with it in the effort to pre-
serve fish and game for future genera
lions in the state, in connection with
other natural resources to be con
served.
The next regular meeting of the as
ISOLATION will be held at Madison dur
| ing the next session of the legislature
when delegates will be present from
$50 to 200 clubs, exerting strong in
fuence in favor of stronger legislation
on the members of the fish and game
committees and Of the legislature in
general.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed unanimously:
Whereas, a bill has been introduced
in the House of Representatives by
Representative Weeks, the purpose Of
which is to protect the migratory birds
of the United States, and,
Whereas, if said bill becomes law
it will stop the wanton slaughter of
wild birds in spring, or during the
breeding season, in all of the states,
and would henceforth preserve our
song and insect-eating birds; there
fore, be it
Resolved, that we, the Wisconsin
Fish and Game Protective Association
indorse said bill, and pledge ourselves
to do all in our power to assist in the
passing Of the said Weeks bill, HI. r.
No. 1926.
Whereas, efforts are being made by
an organization known as the Milwau-
kee Hunters Association to have the
law prohibiting the killing Of water
fowl during the mating and breeding
season repealed by the next legisla-
ture; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the Wisconsin
Fish and Game Protective Association
an organization of true sportsmen, or
gained for the purpose Of preserving
and protecting our fish and game, con-
denim and denounce such selfish, in
human and unsportsmalike movement,
and,
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves
to do all in cur power to prevent the
repeal of one of the best laws on our
statute books for the preservation and
protection of fish and game and.
be it further,
Resolved, that we appeal to all good
citizens of Wisconsin to assist us in
our just fight against the destruction of
the remnant Of our wild bird and ami
NAL life.
