HUNTERS DETERMINED TO
PROHIBIT USE OF SHARES

1t is estimated that there are at
least 1000 genuine sportsmen resid-
ing in Calumet and vicinity, either
affiliated with the several sports
mems club of this district, or in SYM
patty with them. Calumet has seven
sportsmens clubs.
The experience of Game Wardens
Gipp and Uren last Thursday, when
they found a total of 200 rabbits ready
for shipment by the Indians. all Of
which had been SHARED, presumably
for home consumption, has caused a
wave Of Indignation among the sports
men generally. This will result in a
well-attended mass meeting next
Sunday, when il is expected that legis
lation will be urged to prevent further
wholesale sharing of rabbits.
The sportsmen will also endeavor to
create interest in the matter of Sc
curing a large number of rabbits for
propag eating purposes, and a resolu-
ton will be offered asking eac., MEM
Der of the several clubs TO contribute
at least 81 to a fund for the purpose
of defraying the expenses incurred.
The species favored are Sbe Belgian

STATE HAS NO AUTHORITY
TO DEAL With Rail ROADS
Next Legislature Will be Asked
to Provide for Handling
0elinquentS.
RECENT ILLUSTRATION GIVEN

The next legislature will be asked
To provide authority under which
state officers may handle railroad
property in case IL ever becomes ne
cessary again To attach road for the
taxes due Now that the details of the
action taken TO enforce collection
against the Wisconsin and Michigan
and two other roads. have all been dis
posed of. Auditor General Fuller adj
mits that he was somewhat nervous
all during the time his department.
with the aid and advice of Attorney
General Bird. was going ahead with
the operations which ended in the
sale OF the railroads for taxes, for fear
that for one reason and another no
bidders would appear and he would
find himself with a railroad or two on
hand.
That would not have been a salts
factory situation he admits. There is
no authority under which the auditors
department could operate the rail-
road. lease il 10 others To operate. or
do anything else with the property.
The roads and their rolling stock ana
other equipment would simply have
been useless property which ,could
not be touched until legislative au-
thority could be secured TO dispose of
them in some way. 1t happened that
the whole deal went through with
out a hitch and the attorney general
and auditor general are congratulating
themselves on the success of the ac-
ton taken but both will advise the
next legislature that If the present
system of taxation is to be continued
and the auditors department is to
force collection of the taxes assessed,
it will be necessary for the lawmakers
TO provide authority for the state to
handle the property to advantage in
case the railroad attached for taxes is
not bid i'm by anyone and the property
is left in the states possession.

STORMS and STRIKE CUT
DOWN RAILROAD EARNINGS
Northwestern and St. Paul Roads
Together With Others Are
Affected.
FREIGHT TRAFFIC is REDUCED

1t is reported that the bad weather
and continued snow. coupled with the
switchmen's strike, had the effect OF
making deep inroads into the earnings
OF the Chicago and Northwestern and
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul and
other railway systems operating I'M
the northwest for the past six months.
The snow and cold in December were
such as TO reduce the freight trains to
forty per cent. OF their normal size,
and this. together with the strike, made
Il impossible to move the freight bust
ness Of the roads with any degree
of promptness.
During n number OF the storm per-
iods freight trains were often entirely
suspended and passenger trains We're
only able 10 make good progress by
using two engines. Altogether the sit
uation was about as bad as il could
be Operating expenses were nearly
doubled.
The bad weather also interfered
with operations during the greater
part of January. and practically all Of
the railways in the northwest are
still having trouble on account of the
snow. Many of the cars that were
showed in during the big storm Of
four weeks ago are still out Of COM
mission. The railroads lost large
amount of business in both December
and January on account of their in
ability TO handle II properly.
1t is thought that considerable
percentage of the business that could
not be handled on account Of bad
weather will be made up during the
coming spring and summer, when
many Of the railroads. especially those
operating in the west. expect To break
~ previous records i'm both the
freight and passenger departments.
The earnings of the roads will be
considerably affected by unfavorable
weather again this month. Freight
trains are belated in many sections
and there is a shortage of cars at
most of the important points.

STATE TREASURY MAY BE
BENEFITED BY OLD ACT
May Divert Corporation Taxes
From Primary School Fund
to General Fund.
UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL

While coming the laws governing
the administration of the ad valorem
tax system recently Secretary George
Lord OF the state tax commission dis
covered a heritage of the days OF the
so-called Immortal Nineteen" which
may result i'm a part of the tax coli
lected this year from corporations be-
ing diverted to the general fund in
stead of going To overfill the already
plethoric primary school fund. Just
what effect a proviso which the "Nine-
teeners" inserted i'm the act Will have
Is question which Secretary Lord has
put up to Attorney General Bird to
determine The clause in Act No 40
Of the Public Acts of 1908 reads
"Provided that il any of the cor
porations, companies or assoeia-
tions herein named were not pay
ing a specific tax to the state on
Nov. 6, 1909, the tax collected from
such corporations, companies or
associations under the provisions
Of the act shall be paid into and
become a part Of the general
fund"
Proviso Overlooked.
The existence of this proviso seems
TO have been overlooked or forgotten
No mention was made of il I'm the
constitutional convention when the
question Of the use of the corporation
tax was under discussion. nor was
it mentioned during the last session
of the legislature when the law was
amended TO place the telephone and
telegraph companies under the ad
Valorem system Of taxation. The
present tax commission has never
been aware of the existence TO such a
clause. According TO the recollection
Of state officers and others when the
bill relative To the ad valorem tax law
was up In 1908, the nineteen senators
who had formed close corporation
relative to legislation, decided that the
corporation tax might some time be-
come so large as to overload the prim-
airy school fund and they proposed
this proviso. There was considerable
opposition but i'm the end they won
and the proviso went into the law.
When the constitutional conven-
ton met, the delegates drafted and in
serted in the constitution section / of
article X i'm which it is set forth that
all jeets of taxation now contri-
buting to the primary school fund
under present laws shall continue to
contribute to that fund. This, it is
pointed out, somewhat complexities the
matter. The tax commission has new
er acted under the provso, nor have
the taxes collected from corporations
which have commenced to pay specific
taxes since 1900 or from those or
ganized and brought under the ad
valorem system since that date, been
turned into the primary school fund
rather than to the general fund as the
proviso directs. In view Of the con-
stitutional provision il Is thought that
perhaps even though the taxes col
!ected should have been turned into
the general fund, the fact that the
money had been turned into the pri-
mary school fund, may establish the
right Of the school fund to continue
TO receive il. Aside from this inter-
