Parks Being improved.

The state forestry board has already
started it's work of improving the
state parks. The last legislature
passed a law placing the duties OF
the parks owned by the
state upon the park board. State
Forester E. NJ. Griffith has just re-
turned from visit TO the parks and
in three of the parks he has already
placed a crew Of men to blaze ~
and improve the roads
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000, available March /, 1914, for
the improvement of the Peninsular
park in Door county. This park is
composed of 300 acres and a forest
ranger with crew OF FIVE men have
been placed at work in making I'M
provements. Practically the same
work is being done at the state park
at Devils lake. This park is COM
posed of 1,040 acres of land and the
legislature has made an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for improvements. A
crew of five men is now at work In
this park
Senator Glenn is looking after the
Glenn park at the junction Of the
Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers I'M
til a forest ranger and a crew can
be put to work This park is COM
posed of 1000 acres and an appro-
priation Of $4,000 has been made for
improvements.
On October 1, ranger and crew will
be put at work in the interstate park
at the dells of the St Croix. This
park is composed OF 700 acres of
which $50 acres are on the Wiscon-
sin side of the river The appropri-
alton for this park was only $4,000,
because previous legislatures had
made appropriations for improve
ments
No appropriation was made for
improvements of the Brue river park
In Douglas county. bug the work can
be carried on under the forestry re-
serve law. This park occupies 5000
acres of which $500 acres were
given to the state by F. e. Weyer-
haeuser of st. Paul.
Wisconsin has wonderful sys-
tenn OF parks" said Mr. Griffith 1.-THE
last legislature gave the work of i'm
proving these parks to the state for
estry board. Surveys of the parks are
being made, trails are being laid out
and the roads are being improved. We
are also selecting camp sites and in
another year will be able to accOmmo-

Big Increase in state Valuation.

Taxable property in Wisconsin, real
as compared with the state assess
ment of 1912 in the sum of $156,557,-
289, according to the assessment
made public by the state tax commits
sion. The total value fixed for all
property for the year 1913 is $685.
fS7,705 as against s2,s41. 630,416 for
the previous year.
A great proportion of this increase
comes on real estate which for the
present year is assessed at $2.464.-
094,7 FOG, as compared with $2,30S, 301,-
Gil for 1912, an increase of $155, 1885,
095. Personal property for 1913 Is
assessed at 1884 1922 99, as against
$3.50, 328,S05 for the previous year,
an increase of $764,194.
This assessment is made by the
state tax commission to be used as a
basis for the levy of all state taxes
and for the distribution of all
moneys that are to be returned by the
state to the counties according to as
sessed valuation.
AS nearly as may be this assess
ment shows the real increase in the
value of property, particularly of real
estate in. the state, for 1T is made
from year to year on the same basis.
and while the standard of valuation
used may be arbitrary in some cases
1t is supposed to be the same each
year.

State Finances Low.

The state treasury is almost bank
rupt. State Treasurer Henry Johnson
in a letter TO the heads Of the different
departments of government has called
attention to the low balance in the
treasury and suggests a meeting to
discuss methods of tiding the state
over a period of stringency until taxes
are collected. Mr.. Johnson says there
will not be dollar in the state treas
ury by December l and that the tax
money will not pour into the Golfers of,
the state until early next February.
The legislature was fully appraised
to this situation, but it was unable to
pass any remedial legislation. Last
year the state RENTED 100000 of
the state tax money during the cam
paign. 1t later proved that no remit
lance should have been made and this
is the cause of the tie up. State
Treasurer Johnson will urge upon the
governor upon his return a meeting of
some of the stat& officials and econo-
mists to ascertain if some method OF
relief cannot be devised There has
been some talk q calling the legisla-
ture in extra session, but this idea is
generally secuted among the officials.
The entire expenses Of the state de-
partments and institutions is nearly
$1,000, 900 a year based on last years
expenditures. On September 81 there
will be not more than million and
half dollars in the state treasury of
disable funds.

ARE DIVIDED INTO GLASSES
New Detective Methods Recognize ire
Individuality of Those Whose
Speciality is Crime.

The new system of detecting Grimm
nails is based upon the facts that the
criminal class is composed of many
classes and sub-classes, and that each
sub-class is composed at last of indi-
vidual human beings each with dis
tinct and distinguishing individuality
of his own. The criminal is an artist
in his own department. and stamps his
individuality on his crime.
If this seems on the face of it un-
likely, it is easy to show that certain
crimes Of widely different nature new.
er are and never could be committed
by the same criminal. The tramp
who snatches linen from a hedge, OF
the area sneak who steals the milk
cans, could not be fraudulent trus-
tee or company promoter; nor could
the fraudulent trustee pick a pocket
nor would he steal the milk cans. The
truth is manifest enough in the case
of crimes so different, but it is still
true Of crimes much more alike. The
humping sailor with his false tale OF
shipwreck could not change places
with the bogus parson or doctor with
his false tale of having been robbed
or lost his purse. The welcher and
the racecourse thief both carry on
their operations on the turf, but they
never exchange parts; the, man who
passes base coin does not pass fash
banknotes; the railway thief lis not
a hotel thief and vice versa.
