Highway Law offers Real Aid.

Because Of the recent discussion OF
the new highway figures have been Sc
cured from the state highway commits
sion wnicA are interesting.
It is plain when the two laws are
compared that Wisconsin now has for
the first time real state aid for high
ways. The new law, introduced by AS
semblyman Woodland of Chippewa
county is shown to be one of the best
pieces of constructive legislation ever
passed in Wisconsin.
The fundamental difference in the
two laws is that while under the old
law counties paid money into the state
treasury first, and then were allotted
the so-called state aid, sometimes
more and sometimes less than they
had paid in, under the new law the
money comes direct from the general
fund and no county is the loser by the
transaction.
For instance, the 1913 legislature ap-
propriated $1,200,O00 for state aid for
highways. In 1914 $1,00C,000 was
placed in the tax levy and 100000
was to be taken from the general fund
The demands having been received
from the counties, the $1,20O,000 was
appOrtioned and the allOtments made
TWenty-three counties paid more into
the state treasury than they received
under the allotments of 1915, the last
year of the operation Of the old law.
In 1914 the figures are surprising. It
is shown that sixty-nine out of seven
ty-0ne counties paid more into the
state treasury than they received. Flor
ence and Forest counties alone were
the recipients of state aid Florence
paid in $2,56352 and received $2,615.89.
Forest paid in $7,2351S and received
$7,38408.
In 1913 the sum Of $350,000 was col
lected from the counties. The de-
mands of the counties, however
amounted to $83O,OOO. To meet this
situation bill was passed by the next
Legislature appropriating $450,000, and
this was placed in the next tax levy,
making the total collection of taxes
for highway aid 81 ,650,000 in that year
In that year but four counties paid in
more than they received, but the tax
payers paid the benefits back to the
state later.

Fishermen Bring s5,5s8 in Revenue.

One aspect of the economic impor-
lance of the despised carp in Wiscon-
sin is revealed in the records of the
state conservation commission, which
show that during the present season
commercial fishermen have taken 321
tons of these fish from the waters in
this state, and that the revenue ac-
cruing to the state already amounts
to $5,588.92.
These figures are from returns made
to date by the fishermen, through the
wardens. Large quantities of the fish
are still impounded and unreported
and the process Of taking them is
still going on.
The most important of the carp
SEEMING operations are on the Madison
lakes and the principal fishermen are
w. E. Weidner, who operates on Lake
Kegonsa, and Rice and May, who de-
vote themselves to the waters of Lake
Mendoza. Weidner has reported 205,-
500 pounds of carp shipped and he
paid the state $2,O5893. Rice and
May have taken 124,803 pounds and
have paid $1,248.03 to the state.
The carp are sold in New York city
and consumed by poor people.

THE GIFTS FOR MOTHER

The gladdest hour of Christmas day,
The time the hearts are hghtest
An every care is chased away
An all the smiles are brightest
Is when the family, young an old,
From dad to little brother,
With all the love that hearts can hold
Come bringing gifts to mother.
We keep her presents till the last
An then when she sits rocking,
An all the other gifts are passed,
We go an get her stocking.
We gather round her easy chair,
First one an then the other
Steps up an says: well, | declare!
Here's something else for mother"
An with each present goes a kiss,
An all is still an quiet
When mother murrnurs: what is this?''
An hastens to unite it.
Then everybody wildly cheers
An shouts for perfect gladness,
An mothers eyes are moist with tears,
But not the tears Of sadness.
Oh. here's a scene that gold can't buy.
Or stage in imitation,
The smiling face. the glistening eye
OF loves own celebration
And with each jolly Christmas day
We pray to know another
When we shall meet the self-sane way
And bring our gifts to mother.

FUNDS FOR REsERVISTS.
Germany Will Help Men Join Their
Various Commands

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 2O-To facilitate
the return of reservists who would ioin
their commands, but are unable finau-
clally to do so, the German govern
ment has promulgated an order ac-
cording to which the men have but to
make their way to the nearest district
commander to receive money for their
railroad fare and expenses.
The expense of travelling to the dis
trict headquarters is supposed to be
borne by the men, but in case it was
necessary for them in part or in whole
to borrow funds for the journey, it is
arranged for the repayment of these
sums. Money likewise is advanced in
case the reservist officers family was
left in want, or for the purchase of his
equipment.
