Petitions are being sent in from
Marathon county by a bunch of
real sportsmen to the Conservation
Commission at Madison, asking
the commission to use its influence
in having the 'one deer of any
sex" law repealed and put back in
actual working the one buck"
deer law, which had been in usage
IN Wisconsin for two years prior
to last season.
The one buck" law was one of
the best deer laws ever passed and
put in operation by any state in
the Union, and is liked by all real
sportsmen-but much cussed by
the fellow who wants any kind of
meat jest so it's meat, and dont
care a d--n who knows it The
real sportsman enjoys the deer sea-
son for two reasons: the outing ii
gives, and the sport of the chase;
doesn't really care if he fails to get
deer. The other kind of sports
man wants deer first, last and all
the time, and isn't particular
whether it is buck, doe or fawn.
As to the outing part he doesn t
care the snap of a finger. He is af-
ter blood in the bloodiest way be
can get it.
This doesn't mean to construe
that the man who isn't in favor of
the one buck law is savage or
criminal. This man does not take
stock in the conservation and in
creasing of the deer, and is to be
pitied because he fails in taking all
the advantage which nature gives

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
CAMPAIGN is ON.
One miiiiios War Savers by the Night
of February 10 ir the State of
Wisconsin Is Goal Set.

Over SO GOO workers IN the state
of Wisconsin have now but one
thought in mind, and that is to Sc
cure, by the night of February 10,
not less than one million War Saw
ers in the state, and for the first
time in the history of any country,
the government has arranged to de-
liver its own securities and collect
for them at the homes of the
people. If one War Savings Stamp
is bought in each home, more than
500, 900, 900 will be brought into
the United States Treasury.
Secretary McAdoo has issued a
brief but very strong message to
the American people as follows:
l write to ask you to help your
country.
You can do so and also help
yourself in a very simple manner.
Many of us can not fight, but
every one of us can help by saving.
Every dollar saved and not spent
on unnecessary things releases that
amount of labor and material to
make articles for our army and
navy. When dollar that is saved
is loaned to the Government it is
doubly effective.
To that end Congress has au-
thorized the sale of War Savings
Stamps and United States Thrift
Stamps in denominations of S. and
rs cents, respectively. Each War
Savings Stamp you buy is loan
to the United States Government,
is a direct help to every soldier and
sailor who is risking his life in the
war, and is a safe and simple way
to invest your savings.
The United States Government
pledges its entire resources and
credit to repay this loan on Janu-
ary /. 1928, with percent inter
est.
War Savings Stamps are a saw
ings investment which can not de
cline in value. and are guaranteed
by the United States Government
to go up in value as the interest is
added.
Should you want your money
back before January /, 1928, any
moneyorder postoffice will after 10
days written demand. refund to
you the amount you paid for War
Savings Stamps plus an added
amount for each month you have
held them after January, 1913"

All enlistments in the navy are
now for the period of the war only.
This gives young men who hest
tated to join for four years an OPP
portunity to get into the service
under the best possible conditions
and to help their country in its
time of need.
Men who join the navy now, af-
ter a few months in training, will
be sent aboard one of Uncle Sam $
big battleships. A chance for real
action awaits every man.
The navy needs apprentice sea
men, fremen, wireless operators
and men with trades for the ayia-
ton service. Men with little prev
ious experience can also enlist.
Machi1ists, gas engine overhaul
men, carpenters, wood workers,
etc, have splendid opportunities in
the navy.
Ask your postmaster for full de
tails about joining the navy. Or

Who Is Paying for the War?
BY JOHN R. COMMONS Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin

Everybody must expect hardships
from war The greatest hardship is
on the boys who go to the front. No
body can ever pay them what they
are worth to the nation.
But our nation is doing the next
best thing We have more than dou-
bled the pay that soldiers got before
the war The dollar a day, besides
food clothing, and expenses. which
they now get while training and fight
ing is four times as much as the
British soldier gets, eighteen times as
much as the French, and nine times
as much as the German.
Besides, if they are disabled, the
government compensates them for the
rest of their lives. by giving them as
high as 800 a month if totally dis
abled in addition to teaching them
new trades, if necessary, so that they
can make a living
Next 10 the boys at the front. the
greatest hardship is on their families
These families can never be paid what
the boys are worth 10 them. But the
nation does the next best thing While
they are serving their country it pays
their families according TO the mum
Der of children. In case of death it
pays the family the compensation the
boy would get after the war if he were
disabled and it furnishes as high as
$4,000 life insurance at less than half
what an insurance company charges in
time of peace. and permits him to con
tinue it after the war at substantially
the same rate.
The next great hardship is taxes
In former wars our government taxed
food and almost everything the peo-
pie used In this war it is taxing only
liquor, tobacco. patent medicines, lux
uries, amusements, new insurance
premiums, business documents, trans
portations and postage
Taxation of Big incomes.
Two-thirds of the people pay but
very little extra taxes directly to sup
port the war. The other one-third
of the people are taxed on incomes
and excess war profits.
In the Civil War the income tax was
3 per cent to Is per cent, and every
income as low as $500 was taxed. In
this war, three different income taxes
are piled on top of each other, so that
an income of $4,000 pays $40, and in
come of $1,000000 pays $475 eco and
larger incomes pay nearly 60 per cent.
But no income of married man
less than $4,000 is taxed at all, and
none less than 81 900 for an unmarried
man. No workingman with a family
pays an income tax.
The largest incomes. on the other
hand, are not yet taxed as much as
they can stand. corporation pays
two taXes-an excess profit tax that
is said to average about one-fourth the
profits above 8 per cent on its capital,
and an income tax of per cent on
what is left Our government has call
ed in the leading tax experts Of the
country to work on this problem.

The government Is trying to cut
down excess profits. As fast as pos
sible it is reducing the prices that pro-
ducers are permitted to charge.
This has been done for iron. steel
and almost everything else that the
government buys
II Is hard TO do this and yet not
discourage production. We must have
an enormous increase of food cloth
ing. munitions and other necessities
during the war
But the government is doing this
in the only way possible 1t calls in
the representatives of labor named by
the American Federation of Labor,
and the representatives of the manu-
facturers and farmers. The American
Federation of Labor wanted the price
of wheat fixed al $1S4 a bushel The
farmers wanted $3.50. They com
promised on $220 bushel
This is the way it is done for coal
and other essentials which the peo-
pie must buy. If the price is cut too
low then wages cannot be paid; and
if there are no profits. the thing will
not be produced in sufficient quanti-
ties
me HlSe IN wages.
Increased cost of living always goes
along with wars. But here is some
thing to remember:-th outbreak of
war in 1914 brought an increased de
mand for labor. at time of great in
dustrial depression in this country.
The demand of the Allies for muni.
tions, equipment, and food, set every
body to work in the United States.
Immediately also wages began to rise
They went up fastest and highest in
the industries that furnished muni-
tiOns to the Allies. The employees of
the United States Steel Corporation
have had an increase of 60 per cent
in their rates of wages, and when to
this is added steady employment, their
earnings by the week or year have
gone up far beyond 60 per cent.
In the state of New York-the only
state where statistics have been col
lected on a large scale-the earnings
of all factory wage earners throughout
the entire state have risen, on an
average. over 38 per cent since June,
1914. In some of the metal and ma
chinery industries, they have more
than doubled
Nobody can give exac. figures. but
the cost Of living-taking everything
into account-has gone up about 30
to 40 per cent. Food has gone up more
than that-47 per cent, according to
figures of retail prices collected by
the Federal Department of Labor.
But food is something less than half
of the workingman's expenses Other
expenses, such as rent, have not gone
up so much. Taking into account the
increased amount of work and the in
crease in wages, the total earnings OF
wage-earners have about kept up with
the cost of living Some have gone
far ahead, others have not kept up.
Those who have gained most are com
mon laborers and organized labor.

of Alsace- Lorraine are French by
blood and sympathy, they ATE to he

treaty transferring the provinces to
Germany was ratified. The same
rule applies to Schleswig- Holstein.
The registration will not apply

NO ELABORATE
BANQUETS NOW

]. F. Elder. food administrator for
Lee county, has received directions
about people eating meals at bed
time, or having banquets as a fourth
meal.
The food administration believes
the fourth meal to be unnecessary
and unpatriotic. In its orders to
public eating places the food admin
istration says:
Where suppers are served all
meats should be eliminated and such
dishes should be substituted as sea
foods, game in season, egg dishes,
and such by-products Of meat as are
desirable.
"The food administration believes
elaborate lunches and banquets are
unpatriotic and should not be served.
Lunches and banquets are recognized
as being necessary for social enjoy
ment of the people. but at such gath
erings a simple meal should be
served such as would be eaten in the
home No waste or extravagant use
of food should be allowed in this
critical time. The hour for such
functions should be SO regulated
that the repast will take the place
of one OF the regular meals"
