Revise States Plan of Keeping Book:

Revise States Plan Of Keeping Books.
A summary of the special report of
the state tax commission on the
finances Of the state, compiled for the
legislature, was submitted to that
body. The gathering and compiling
of the data was done under the direc-
ton of A. E. James, statistician of
the commission.
On the average for the seven-year
period (19O3-1909) the revenue re-
ceipts totaled $6,214,6O667 out of a
total for all receipts of 1882 ,999.29,
or 841S per cent. In 1909 the total
revenue receipts were $8,500,957.97
out of $9,811,519.19 or 1864 per cent.
During the period of years covered in
the investigation, receipts as whole
increased from $6,S14,792. in 1903 to
$9,811,51919 in 1909. Revenue re-
ceipts increased during the same
period from $5,441,6 83.61 to $780,
957.97.
The state accounts are not kept in
a single fund, says the report, but diff
cation of payments by subdividing the
accounts into number of funds. So
far as these funds amount to the
segregation of the states obligations
as trustee from it's general disburse-
ments, the practice is not only proper
but is very necessary. So far as it
amounts, however, to the setting up
of separate appropriation accounts as
funds it has the effect of splitting up
the states money and making much
of it unavailable for the claims for
money coming in, even though appar
emily there is plenty of money in the
treasury. 1t also has the general ef-
feet of creating confusion in the case
of the university and normal schools
between money derived from the trust
investment funds of the state.

gestion of the heads of the two bu-
reaus; =
The two first-named bills take the
place of the original recommendation
Of the forestry committee that
2-10 mill tax be levied on all proper
ty in Wisconsin to provide fund OF
100000 to take care of both the
purchase of additional forest reserve
lands and of the proposed county fire
warden system. AS arranged in the
new bills, the forest reserve apprO-
priation is directly from the general
fund, but it is contended that within
a few years these lands will be bring
ing into the treasury at least $4,000
600 from the wood-using industries.
Completion CT this reserve also will
protect the water powers by maintain
ing in somewhat primeval state the
headwaters of the rivers of the state.
The special committee is satisfied
that the protection of the forests and
Of the fish and game should go to-
gether, and that much good can be
accomplished by utilizing the wardens,
both kinds for both purposes, at sea-
sons of the year when the entire
force might be available.
Adhering to their platform pledge,
the senate Republicans advanced the
Mcconnell second choice primary bill,
known these many years as the Mary
Ann" bill. Three members made
speeches, Senators Whitehead, San
born and Gaylord. In the end the
vote was Is to for the bill, the op-
ponents being Albers, Burke, Gaylord.
James, Randolph, Shower, Thomas,
Whitehead, Zophy and Lyons.
The senate passed the assembly bill
limiting the hours of work on public
buildings to eight except in extreme
emergencies such as fire, flood or
war Senator Sanborn presented the
resolution for advancement of bust
