Forestry Committee Reports.

The special legislative committee
which has been investigating the
forestry conditions of the state for
some time past has made its report.
The committee found that with
13, 100000 acres undeveloped in
Northern Wisconsin, and three and
a quarter million non-agricultural
that is Is per cent, there is sufici-
ent land for forestry and yet no
dearth of land left to farm.
The report recommends that
scattering state lands should be
sold and the money used toward
the purchase of lands in the pro-
posed permanent reserve and that
none of the timber owned by the
state be sold until mature or un-
less there be a real demand for the
land for agriculture. That all tim
Der lands should be conserved.
A important recommendation is
that agricultural lands, in areas of
1000 acres or more, now owned by
the state be classified and immedi-
ately offered for sale to actual sett-
lers. That said lands be sold cheap
ly, on long terms at low rate of
interest. Sold under some such
provisions as to the occupancy and
Improvements as now required un-
der the United States Homestead
Law. In tracts not to exceed 100
acres.
The forestry board also recon-
mends that the department of fish

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Important Rulings Are Handed Down
by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin.

A number of important decisions
were handed down by the state SUI
preme court this week. One of
these affects the ore and freight
docks of railroads. The decision
was the result of a case originating
in Douglas county, it being the 500
railway company VS.. Douglas coun-
ty. The court held the terminal
tax law unconstitutional and that
ore docks and freight docks belong
ing to railroad company and used
only for transferring ore and freight
from cars to vessels and vice versa
cannot be separated from the ball
ance of the railroad property and
subjected to local taxation at a
higher rate than the rate applied by
the tax commission to the other
property of the railroad.
Ashland is effected by this de-
cision of the court and according
to reports will be the loser by $50 :
900. The tax of 1912 on the Ash
land docks amounting to $14, 800
08 on the Northwestern and S4,-
530.51 on the 500 were allowed to
go delinquent and the railroads
bought the tax certificates. The
taxes of 1913 were paid by the rail-
roads under protest TO the city
treasurer. The decision means
that Ashland will have to pay back
to the railroads the tax paid last
year, will be charged up tax OF
1912 returned to the county delin-
quent and will not receive the tax
on the docks this year,
Another important decision af-
tects The right OF persons of foreign
birth to vote. The court held that
persons of foreign birth who have
their first papers may still vote il
they are residents of the state and
satisfy the other requirements. In
1908 a constitutional amendment
was passed requiring that after
1912 a person must be full citizen
before he would be entitled to a
vote. The supreme court held that
this amendment was improperly
passed and to be of no effect This
will readmit to the right of ballot
may persons throughout the state,
as the requirements for citizenship
are the same as before the amend
ment was passed.

Application for Injunction Argued.

therefore be a few weeks before a

and game, state fisheries, state
parks, state conservations, state
public lands and state forestry be
consolidated under A board of three
members to be appointed by the
Governor.
The committee found that Wis
consin conditions are ideal for grow
ing of trees, particularly white and
Norway pine, and that artificial
reforestration will ultimately be
come source Of profit to the state.
1t was found that the task of decid-
ing which of the lands in the for
est reserve are best adapted to agri-
culture is an impossible one for the
committee, capable of solution only
through soil survey. Large areas
were found, however, which were
better adapted to forestry tn,
farming, and which if used for
forestry would not interfere with

France Is closer to us than any other
nation.
As to the duration Of the war, DR..
Ney states that it is conceded that its
termination is at least eighteen
months away. That in the meantime
France is doing nicely in the matter
of food and that the cost of living
is remarkably less than is generally
understood. Women are doing all
kinds of work, in the field, in the
shops and on railroads, and they
are doing it cheerfully. He believer
the plans being effected by the allies
cannot fail to accomplish their bur-s
pose and that they are on the eve
Of a successful campaign.
DR.. Ney sayssthat among the thrill
ing sensations Of his short star at
the. front was the blowing away Cf
one corner Of his hospital by the
enemy's shells. He says that the
mutilation Of the wounded Is fright
full. yet the nurses OF the Red Cfoss

abandon of veteran soldiers.
