tscheme OF the Budget Commission TO
y Divert Licenses Meets Opposition.

Ii ist understood that the budget
commission which is to propose to
the next legislature plan for more
coordination in state affairs. had con-
sldered the advisibility OF diverting
the license money now paid on auto
mobile from the state highway depart
ment TO the general fund II they
make such a report II is certain 20
Aring out determined opposition.
Such plan has been suggested. but
whether 1t will be incorporated in the
proposed bill will not be determined
until after the committee goes over
the matter in final conference with
the governor and state officials.
If the bill is so framed that the idea
of the present law is preserved and
the funds received from the sale OF
automobile licenses can still be used
for highway purposes without bien-
nial appropriations from the legisla-
ture. no objection will be raised on
the part OF the automobile owners. AS
a general rule the motorists do not
care what system Is employed to han
die the fund so long as the money is
fused on the highways OF the state.
There is also a disposition on the
part OF some Of the members OF the
budget committee to take the money
from the sale Of gun and rod licenses
under the present law and place 1t In
the general fund. Instead OF giving
the department free rein 20 use the
funds derived from this source for the
protection and propagation OF game
fish. it has been suggested that the de-
partment be placed on an appropria-
tion.
Such a plan, ii is believed, will meet
with united opposition from the
sportsmen from the state. II was at
their suggestion that the gun license
law was passed and il is their money
that Is being used to protect game.
Wild life conseryationists and
spOrtsmen claim that the plan pro-
posed by some OF the members OF the
state would be blow at the game
Aconservation program. Legislative
'committees have been slow TO vote
money for game protection, but under
the present plan the sportsmen de-
clare they are paying for 1t themselves

that the money is properly expended

Actlon should Re Taken.

With the beginning OF the new year
the board OF supervisors OF this coun-
ty should take some action towards
meeting Gogebic county. Under ex-
listing circumstances neither county
can consistently invest much money
right now in an undertaking OF the
kind. Neither can any additional ex-
pense be added to the county in tho
way of salaries for park commission
ers.
1t looks to us, however, that there
are enough public spirited men in
this county who would be willing TO
devote a little OF their time TO the
beautifying of this section, or rather
to an attempt TO preserve the beau
ties and that IL the board would take
advantage OF the act authorizing the
counties TO appoint park commission
ers and have IL expressly understood
that no salaries are to be attached to
the Office nor Is any compensation TO
be allowed for labor on the part OF the
commission, that three good men can
be found who will in the next year
or two map out course OF procedure
and make arrangements with the land
owners and the public domain COM
mission to take over a strip for pub
lie park purposes
After the war when things right
themselves some money can be put in
to the project and in time Iron coun-
ty will get big returns for the pre-
serving OF these beauties
The suggestion Of non-salaried
commission is made because we be
lieye that this work calls for the at
tentlon OF men of certain tastes, and
If the proposition is made a mercen-
airy one the object which is being
sought will not be attained
