FAYORS AN ANGLERS LICENSE

To the Editor of The Milwaukee
Journal: The state derives about
$4,000 from different fish and game
sources, which is turned in to the gen.
eral treasury. I suggest that this a
mount be increased by doubling our
nonresident hunting and fishing IL
cense to 81 for hunting and fishing, or
81 for either. This would work no
hardship on anyone, and would be fair
to all. Provide a special license, as you
suggest, for such persons or places as
earn part or all of their livelihood
from these sources, all such funds to
be used only for the protection and
propagation of fish. This committee
in charge should be composed only Of
such sportsmen who are familiar with
every side of the question. We would
have more game wardens with less
territory to cover and their work
would be more effective.
The work of propagating fish and
game, especially deer, should be in
connection with our forestry depart
ment, as it is the lack of timber that
will drive deer away. Further, | sug-
gest that all foresters be made game
wardens. C. NJ. NASH.

GUARD VALUABLE
FOXESCAREFULLY
Thirty Animals at Farm and Each
Carries Pelt Worth From
$500 to $4,000.

Reedsburg, Wis, Jan. 8.-The
raising Of the silver black fox no long
er is an experiment, but is establish
ed as a successful enterprise. During
the past ten or fifteen years fox ranch
es have been established in number
of places in Wisconsin, the natural
home of the animal, but not until re-
Gently has the business been attempted
on a large scale.
The new 100000 ranch at Reeds
burg is the largest and most modern in
the state, and many claim there is no
better equipped institution of the kind
anywhere. Every fox in this new
farm, and there are thirty ofthem,
is genuine, pure bred silver black and
each carries pelt worth anywhere
from $500 to $4,000, or possibly more.
In this ranch is a pair of animals
which fox raisers declare are among
the most perfect and beautiful speci-
mems ever seen in this country. They
were imported and paid a duty to the
United States government of an even
$500.
Reedsburg has two fox ranches,
each a separate corporation and or
ganization with its own pens and dens.
The ranches are located in adjoining
enclosures and for matters of economy
in feeding and caretaking are operat-
ed jointly.
The value of the animal causes the
owners to employ great caution in Sc
curing them. This is accomplished by
enclosing the pens in a high board
fence on the inside of which a car
pet of woven wire extends for three
or four feet. If one or more of the
animals should manage to escape from
the individual pens, it would take some
time with this arrangement before
they could dig out of the exterior or
enclosure. At the top of the fence
there is a ceiling or overhang of wo-
ven wire which makes it impossible for
the animals to climb out.
The pens are arranged in two. In
each lot for a male and female the
animals can be separated if the keep
er so desires. The pens are construct
ed entirely of woven wire which is
sunk into the ground to bed rock,
found here at a depth Of about four
feet. The wire again is turned inward
at the bottom. The fences Of the pens
are eight or ten feet high and have
the overhang arrangement on all sides.
Thus the animals are safe from with
out and within.
AS an industry, fox raising in Wis
consin is in its infancy, but not so else
where On the Prince Edwards ISL
and, a territory much smaller than
this state, there is said to be more than
$15,0OO,OOO invested in the business.

DO PROFESSORS
GET RICH On
TEXTBOOK
royalties

Madison, Wis, Jan 8.-The popular
idea among college students that their
professors grow rich by writing text
books and requiring their classes to
buy them has been exploded by a
journalism student who has made an
investigation at the University of
Wisconsinsin preparation for special
article.
The average royalty which a local
professionalism receives from the
sale of his books in his own classes is
about $2393 a year, the writer finds
For every dollar royalty realized by
local professors, more than SO in roy
atty goes to authors outside the uni
versity for other books.
Twenty-eight professors now teach
ing at the university have written
books that are being used in their
classes. AS several have written more
than one book, some 81 books written
by present faculty men are in use
in various classes.
The total amount realized from the
local sale of these books is about
$8,865.5O a year the writer learned
from books stores. AS the authors
royalty is about 10 per cent of the sale
price, the total yearly royalty on the
local sale Of those 81 books is about
$886.65.
Although the average yearly roy
atty is thus $23.93, more than one
third of the professor authors get less
than So year from the sale of their
text books to their students, the writ
er finds One-sixth Of them get a
bout $3.50 a year each; two net $3.50
each; and one makes $3.50 a year.
There is of course one exceptional
professor who makes almost 5000.
All professors do not, however, re
ceive royalty on books used in their
classes, the writer finds. Books and
pamphlets published by the univer-
sity are sold at cost and the author
receives no royalty. Ten professors
have published texts of this kind.
AS the total sales of textbooks of
all kinds used in the university amount
to about $4,000 a year, the royalty
made by the % local REPRESENTATIONS
is but a drop in the bucket
How much the professors income
is augmented by sales in other uni
versities, the journalism student was
unable to discover. The article mere
ly attempted to test the statement
current among college students to the
effect that "the profs are getting rich
off us by writing books and making
US buy them"

INEQUALITIES OF
REPRESENTATION
Congressman Browne Makes Some
Observations on the Inequalities of
Representation and Taxation Be-
tween the Northern and Southern
States.

Representation ana Ia4dLlOn Be
tween the Northern and Southern
States.
Mr.. Browne says: Wisconsin, at
the recent Presidential election cast
no. 84 votes. It has II congressman
and Is votes in the Electoral College.
Alabama, which cast only 126,44O
votes, has 10 Congressman and u
Electoral votes.
With less than one-third as many
votes as Wisconsin Alabama has prac-
tically the same representation in
Congress and counts for practically
as much in the election of President.
In other words, one voter in Alabama
has more voice in the Government
than three voters in Wisconsin.
Under the present administration,
Wisconsin has contributed $34,379,158
in internal revenue to the support of
the government, and received $685.
Gil in federal appropriations.
Alabama has paid $11,792,497 in
internal revenue and received $2,304,-
298 in government appropriations
With less than one-third the votes but
practically the same representation,
Alabama has obtained nearly four
times as much in government expen-
ditures as Wisconsin, while paying
approximately one-eighteenth as
much taxes.

WAR AND BIBLES.

AS the war continues the world ap-
parently grows more religious. AT
least, the Bible seems to have become
the most popular book of the war. II
is said that the presses Of the Ameri-
can Bible Society have been running
sixteen hours day since May l, and
that 100000 copies printed in the mean
time. orders are still far in excess of
the supply.
The Y. M. C. A. recently wanted
500 900 pocket Testaments for soldiers.
1t was unable to procure them. 1t
now has an order for 100000 Bibles
waiting Its turn to be filed
OF course, everybody's giving BIZ
bles to soldiers With the attempt
to supply every man in all branches
OF the service with a Bible, it isn't
difficult to see where part of the un.
precedented demand comes from. But
1t Is stated that quite aside from the
unusual war demand, there Is a great
ly increased call for the book for use
among civilians
If people are sincerely seeking
spiritual truth in proportion to their
growing interest in the Bible as one
source, there should be tremendous
moral reinforcement of civilization at.
ter the war. And that. of course, will
be one ofthe gains wrested from wars
