The Lvre Bird.

The fully developed male Tyre bird
is one of the most handsome and nota-
BILE of the forms of bird life of Queens
land The contour of the bird, with
it's long neck and stout gallinaceous
feet, is by no means unlike that of a
peacock, and the wonderful tail, pos
sessed only by the male birds, fulflls
a corresponding role of vain display
The bird executes antics for a train
Of female admirers on a raised earth
en- mound. For a short period Of the
year, about January, the Tyre bird loses
it's characteristic plumes and has to be
content with the sober plumage of its
mate.

You will notice that both the state
taxes and the county taxes for the year
1915 were lower thai they were for
1914, while the city tax and the school
tax for 1915 are higher. This explains
the increased taxation for the city of
Edgerton by the fact that local taxes
have increased while state and county
taxes have decreased.
Thus while Gov Philip has made
good in measure his promise to re-
duce state expenditures and the Rock
county board of supervisors were rea
sonably economical in their appropria-
tons, our public schools and city ex-
penses were about $4,000 greater than
a year ago.
II this connection it may be of inter-
est to you to know that the entire state
tax is $780, 900 less than it was last
year; that for Rock county it is S24,-
174.58 less, and for Dane county it is
S42, 1923. 80 less. In addition to the de-
crease in state taxes, Rock county re-
ceives in the shape of state aid for
good roads $25,107;. Dane county, $44,
038. This is in fact state aid for it is
not raised by taxation but comes out
of the general fund of the state. You
recall that under the old highway aid
law the money which was paid back to
the counties by the state was first
raised by direct taxation. 1t went into
the state treasury and was redistrib-
uted. The state, as matter of fact,
acted simply as collecting agency.
Under the new highway aid law there
is no state tax for highways. The aid
which the state gives is taken from the
general fund. This general fund is
made up from the taxes received from
railroads, public utilities, inheritance
incomes, etc.
