? rec 52me LunCneS barred.
The state conservation commission
receives many communications from
Wisconsin saloon and hotel keepers.
restaurants, etc, asking If they could
serve duck, mudhen or venison
lunch free TO their guests.
Mr.. Scheibel, the secretary of the
commission, says This is absolute
~ in violation of the law. 1t is bar
ter. pure and simple. When a saloon
keeper serves game of any kind as a
free lunch it is done so with the idea
that it win increase his patronage.
and that the persons who come in will
spend their money with the intention
OF partaking of the game lunch. Ac-
cording TO section 6210 Of the laws Of
1915. no person shall sell or barter
or offer To sell or barter any deer. or
any bird for which a closed season
is prescribed. No keeper. manager or
steward cf any restaurant, club. hotel,

served or given To the guests or board
ers thereof the meat of any deer, wild
bird or trout of any variety other
than lake trout at any time, or the
meat of any wild animal during the
closed season therefor"
This law. which prohibits the serv-
iur of ueo game lunch in saloons
etc. was passed by the last legisla-
ture for two reasons First. TO pro.
teCt the game To permit anything of
this kind increases the demand for
game and encourages the market
hunters Second. because many cases
were lost by the state. as the violat-
ors. serving game dinners to their
guests, claimed after they were ar.
rested that they did not charge FOR
the meal The conservation commits
sion warns hunters against shipping
game birds by parcel post. which is
against the postal regulations and a
violation of the state and federal laws

purposes with the exception OF $1,000
which the legislature provided as the
tax levy to comply with the constitu-
tional requirement AS compared with
the levy of 1914 the present levy is
$S41,6 28 less.
The tax levies Of the last three
years are as follows: 1913, $685.
3IS; 1914, S5,272,363; 1915, $4,4SO.-
1873.
In connection with the reduced tax
levy must be taken in considera-
tion various appropriations made by
the last Legislature which materially
affect state finances and which accrue
directly to the benefit of the tax pay
ers: For example, the terminal tax
bill. which carries back to counties IN
which terminal railway property is To-
Gated fully $l50,0OO, and the payment
Of 100000 annually upon the retire
ment of certificates of Indebtedness.
The state tax levy for the present
year would have been lower if the
state tax commission had not this
year increased the valuation of taxa
bic property in the state $3.50, 900, 900,
thus increasing the sO-called mill
taxes for the support of the univer-
sity, normal schools and common
schools All of the money raised by
state taxes. except that for interest
on the state debt and the 1000 lev
led for general purposes, will be re-
turned to the taxpayers in the form OF
state aid for educational purposes.
1t was impossible to make the tax
levy lower this year without taking
more money out of the general fund
of the state treasury and applying it
to state tax purposes than the condi-
ton OF the general fund, considering
the demands on it TO meet legislative
appropriations for the coming year,
would justify.
The levy was fixed after a two-day
conference attended by Governor Phil
ipp, Secretary of State Donald, State
Treasurer Johnson, Assemblyman l..
c. Whittet and other state officers.
Estimates of receipts and disburse-
ments for the coming year were made
and considered before the levy was
decided on
At the time the secretary of state
certities to the county clerks the
amount of the tax levy for each coun-
ty he will also include the special
charges against each county for the
care of insane persons in state asy-
lums and dependents in other state
institutions and the school district
loans due
