Appeals to Voters
to Save Forests
Commissioner Hall Urges Adoptiop
of Conservation Constitutional
Amendment.

Madison-An appeal for the adop.
ton of the conservation con.
stitutional amendment was issued to.
day by Elmer S. Hall. state con.
servation commissioner. Mr.. Hal
declared that the future of industry
commerce and reereational facilities
In Wisconsin depends TO a large
extent upon the adoption of the
amendment.
when we stop to think about
what the forests have meant to Wis
consin and what they should mean to
industry, commerce and recreation
and that no adequate program for
reforestration has ever been develop
ed, we can realize the Importance Of
the amendment. Besides a pro-
nOunced industrial significance
which means jobs for thousands, the
forest amendment is of great value
in building up all of outdoor re-
sources"
Mr. Hall expressed belief that it
would require several years after the
adoption of the amendment before
an effective program could be put in
to effect.
He pointed out that waning tim
Der supplies were jeopardizing the
industrial security of many Wiscon-
sin communities and that the accu-
mulated acreage of cutover land
amounting to about ten million acres
was becoming burden.
1--WE have oceans of land right
here inWisconsin," he said, "for both
farm, forest and recreational de-
yelopment. Even if we struck the
maximum in the way of development
of these possibilities, | am inclined
to think the job is too big for us for
generations to come but / am for
a start on a solid foundation
of common sense and legal authority
and so far as forest development is
concerned, this proposed amendment
alone will provide that foundation
and it should be approved by the
voters"

Voters Will
Pass on Them
Three Amendments to Wisconsin,
Constitution VIII Be Ratified or
Rejected This Fall.

With record of having adopted
80 constitutional amendments ant
defeating %, Wisconsin voters will
decide the fate of three amendments
this fall. The records in the secretary
of states office show that constitu.
tional amendments have been un-
popular with the voters since 1912
with Is defeated and only one
adopted in that period.
The last amendment to meet de-
feat came last year with the voters
failing to ratify a raise in salary for
legislators. The increase proposed
would have paid assemblymen and
senators $3.50 a year The present
salary is $500 for a term of two
years.
The home rule amendment 10 be
voted on this fall has aroused con
siderable interest. Under the pre-
sent provisions Of the constitution,
cities and villages have only the
powers Of determining their local
affairs and government which may
have been granted to them by the
legislature. If this proposed amend
ment is ratified. cities and villages,
by following the methods of de-
termination which may be prescribed
by the legislature, will have powers
of determining their local affairs
and government not prohibited by
the constitution or state enactments.
The constitutional limitation of in
debtedness of five per cent Of the
value of the taxable property Of
municipalities remains unchanged.
Another resolution to be voted on
this fall would give the state more
power to engage in internal inn
provements. Under the present
provisions of the constitution, the
state is prohibited from engaging in
internal improvements except under
grant of property to the state espe-
cially dedicated to particularly works
of internal improvement, and except
as to the construction and improve
ment of public highways. If the
proposed amendment is ratified, the
state may appropriate money, not
exceeding in any one year two-tenths
of one mill of the states assessment
of taxable property, for the purpose
of acquiring, preserving and develop
ing the forests of the state.
The third amendment would only
affect Dane county for the present
and would permit an additional cir
cult court judge. Under the pre-
sent provisions Of the constitution,
the number Of circuit judges is limit
ed to one for each circuit, except in
Milwaukee county, but should this
proposed amendment be ratified any
circuit containing a county having a
population Of over $4,000 may be
granted an additional circuit Judge.
The Dane county court presided over
by Judge T. Ray Stevens is the most
important circuit judgeship in the
state due to the fact that all cases
arising out Of state commission de-
cisions are tried at Madison.
Besides the three amendments to
be voted on this fall there are five
amendments that win be before the
legislature for second approval this
Writer and if passed will then be
submitted to the people.
