COMMISSION RENTS FEES
Threatened Trouble Between State
Treasurer and Grain and Ware
house Body Is Averted.

Mauison.-The misunderstanding
between the Wisconsin Grain and
Warehouse commission and State
Treasurer A. H. Dahl over the re-
mittance of fees held by the former
on July 81 last has been cleared up.
Former State Senator George B.
Hudnall of Superior, representing
the commission, turned over to the
state treasurer a check for $1,000 as
the unpaid balance of the money in
the inspection fund of the commits
sion on July 81 and the suit threat
ened by the treasurer to compel
payment will not be brought.
Under the law the commission is
required to turn over to the state
treasurer the unexpended balance in
its fund on July 81. At that time
there was about $4,000 in the fund
but the commission believed it would
need part of this to pay it's expenses
until the receipts of the fall work
began to come in. In August it
turned over $500 and retained the
balance.
AS more than sufficient funds came
in during the fall and winter months
to pay the expenses of the commits
sion, it was able to remit to the state
treasurer the balance due, but it
failed to do so promptly and Treas
urer Dahl got after it.

ADVOCATES A LIFE PENALTY
Menasha Man Would Punish Hunters
Who Shoot Men and Fail to
Render Assistance.

Menasha. -Imprisonmen for ten
years, and in case they fail to render
assistance, life imprisonment, is ad-
vocated by NJ. j. Patchen, for hunters
shooting men for deer, in an open
letter made public here. Mr.. Patchen
also says that the proposed law per-
hitting the killing of bucks only
is impossible of enforcement, as the
average hunter cannot tell a buck
from a doe in the little time he has
to shoot.
Wolves and wildcats, he says, are
the worst destroyers of deer and
fawns, and he urges increasing the
bounty on wildcats to $40 and on
wolves to $500. The rapid increase
in these animals, from ten to sixteen
a year for each pair he says, is max
ing them increase alarmingly.
Finally, Mr.. Patchen urges against
spring shooting, stating that the
elimination of the spring season alone
will prevent extinction of the birds.
