A Shoppers Law.

The Insurance Age-Journal, of
Marblehead, Mass, is opposed to the
publication of income taxes. "It is
securing information, which while
legal according to our courts, saw
ors of the surreptitious."
The Boston Herald considers such
publication an exploitation of the
intimate details of our fellow citi-
zen's business, merely for the graft
fication of idle or malignant curios-
ity. Such publication breeds sus-
picion and distrust, jealousy and
animosity. 1t exposes business men
to sinister or demagogic attacks.
1t yields huge amounts of misin-
formation, for in numerous cases
the bare figures revealed are not
anywhere near an exact revelation
of the taxpayers income. The av-
erage American does not like to
have folks shopping around to find
out what they can about his priv
ate affairs. His resentment is just"
Nothing will do more to drive
large incomes and capital out of
productive industry into hiding, or
tax-exempt bonds, so long as they
are permitted by law, than the
publication of income tax returns.
Millions of Americans feel that the
amount they make, so long as it is
acquired honestly, is no ones bust
ness but their own and they will
not submit to having their affairs
talked over by the town gossips.

Spend the money improving their
places instead of seeking Florida
sunshine simply because the other
fellow did.
The Wisconsin men who migrate
to Florida each winter and talk ten
months at home about the two
months they spent in Florida, are
largely responsible for the Florida
Land Boom"
/ have been informed that the
newspapers of Indianapolis have
agreed not to accept advertise
ments from Florida promoters nor
publish a favorable word regarding
Florida. This morning the Chicago
Tribune says among other things:
so many Ohioans have been flock
ing TO Florida that the state off
cials have recently refused licenses
to Florida development companies
to operate in Ohio" The average
sea-level all over Florida is from 5
to 20 feet with the exception of the
ridge region" in the middle of the
state where short distance from
Lake Wales it reaches an altitude
of 385 feet. Compare this with the
altitude Of Wisconsin. AS Chairman
of the Lake Land Division of the
Wisconsin Realtors Association you
should prepare a circular letter Civ
ing thoughts contained in this let
ter and get all your members ac-
lively engaged in an effort to stop
the talk regarding Florida and get
them started to boosting Wiscon-
sin.
If you will start an investigation,
you will find that millions Of acres
of land was valued at so cents an
acre less than two years ago, which
is now selling for Sc to SIP per
acre-lots of it swamp land and
none Of it more than 20 feet above
sea level. Advertising and public
ity has increased the value of this
almost worthless property, which in
Wisconsin you have Is million acres
of cut over lands, much of which,
right now could be bought for a
song, but all of which is suitable
Tor hunting preserves and there
are 60 million people living within
an over nights ride of this great
undeveloped playground.
Wisconsin should not wait for
Florida developers to come in and
cash in on these vast resources. 1t
is time for Wisconsin to wake up.
Very truly yours,
Milo E. Westbrooke, Manager.

STOP TALK OF FLORIDA
Wisconsin People Warned
to Boost Their Own Re-
sources and Not Florida.

Milo Westbrooke, manager of the
Outdoor Life Exposition at Chicago
and man who believes in Wiscon-
sin and it's resources and also its
bully good boosters for the outdoor
game, sends a warning to Wiscon-
sin people to TALK Wisconsin and
CIT out fattering Florida to their
own detriment.
He tells the story of what Wis
consin is coming to in a great many
things in the following letter writ
ten to j. F. Habrich of Eagle River:
Dear Mr.. Habrich:
About the best thing l have seen
in a long time is the question mark
and the three words on your folder
why Talk Florida?"
Some days ago | had letter
from Louis Maier of Amigo in
which he wrote in part, "You see l
am making sort of study of the
Great Florida movement, trying to
fathom the psychology of the whole
thing" and to which ! replied:
The psychology is all very simple.
Wisconsin people are largely to
blame for all this Florida boom.
You have some bitter cold spells in
Wisconsin for very short periods.
Mr.. Rhinelander meets Mr.. Hay
ward and says, 1t was 2 degrees
below zero in Rhinelander this
morning with IL inches of snow"
las a matter of fact there were
only inches of snow). Mr.. Hay
ward wants it known that they
have to suffer more in Hayward
than they do in Rhinelander, so he
comes back at Mr.. Rhinelander and
says: "Oh, hell; it was II degrees
below zero in Hayward yesterday
and we had "a inches Of snow"
probably they only had A inches Of
snow; but you get the ideal.
Now, by that same token-that
habit Of boasting-the resort man
or merchant who can afford it goes
to Florida, writes back about the
sunshine in Florida, and the fellow
back home with little to do except
to think about the weather, de-
cides he should go to Florida.
Now, let's draw the other picture
as it always should be drawn.
Rhinelander says 2 degrees below
zero and 2 inches of snow and Hay
ward comes back and says, ooh, we
only had a sprinkling of snow-no
wind and beautiful warm sun
shine; get EN- to Boosting how
fine it is, not how bad it is.
Now here is another angle. ooh,
you bought that land over in Punk
county; it is the worst spot you
could pick in the state. WE have
in Good county the only land worth
buying" Down in Florida: "Oh,
you bought over in Fair county.
Well, you made a good buy. Fair
county land is nearly as good as
ours-you will like it over there"
In Wisconsin there is too much
knocking about the other fellows
stuff, and too much complaining
about the weather.
Before Wisconsin comes into it's
own, the natives must throw away
their hammers and bury their axes.
They must forget the two months
of cold weather and talk of the six
months Of fine weather. Instead
of toasting their shins when it is
cold, stay home and work, that will
keep them warm and enable them
to put their house in order"

trees being cut under the permits
issued to buyers. The larger rlan
for state forests would make each
of these state tracts nucleus, and
add to it adjoining tracts bought
from private owners.
The forestry board is backed in
its claim that state forests are the
most practical method of tree con-
servatlon by report from the sell
ect committee of the United States
senate which visited Minnesota ana
Their states to study the question.
Inc forestry board recommend:
"That suitable legislation be en-
acted, looking toward the acquisl-
ton by the state, either by tax
foreclosure or donation, or pur-
chase, of cutover lands already
bearing second growth of conf
fers or suitable for a growth
thereof, to be held as state for
est reserves, with the timber
growth encouraged and protected,
until such timber growth shall be
suitable to market"
Otto H. Diercks, superintendent
of state timber and a member of the
forestry board, favors the latter
plan. 1t would require constitu-
t.onal amendment. The state trust
funds have received more than $751;
100000 from state timber. With
ST, 900, 900 of that money, he says,
the state could buy vast acreage
of cutover land of 81 to $3.50 an
acre, and the timber grown on it
would bring good return on the in
vestment The state would have to
wait some time for it's returns, of
course.
Two bills are before the legis-
lature giving the state absolute title
to land sold for taxes. The primary
object of these bills is to end the
practice of letting taxes go and
then bidding the land in for frac-
ton of the taxes due, as the law
now permits. Under the present
law, 10 years after a delinquent tax
sale, or at any time thereafter. the
property can be bought back from
the state for one-fifth of the taxes
due. This encourages, and right
now taxes are delinquent IN half the
land in one large county.
One bill by Erlings Swenson in the
house gives the state absolute title
to land not redeemed at tax sales.
A later bill framed by F. j. Nc
Partlin of international Falls, spon-
sored by Marius Waldal and others,
provides the same thing with more
detailed machinery.

TITLE To LAND
FOR UNPAID TAXES.
BILLS NTROD CED WOULD
GIVE STATE CHANCE TO
GET TRACTS.

State forests grown on land
acquired from private owners, after
the original timber has been logged
of, will be the ultimate solution to
the forestry problem in Minnesota,
in the opinion of some of the best
informed state officials says Charles
B. Cheney in the Minneapolis Jour
nal.
They are skeptical about results
from any plan to encourage private
owners of hand to cut timber on
forestry principles and save growing
trees for future years. The prac-
tice of lumbermen in the state al
ways has been to "cut clean" and is
only restrained by the state rules
adopted for cutting timber from
state owned land.
The idea of state forests is gain
ing some ground and it promises to
be live issue in future legislative
sessions. 1t Is not being advanced
this year in any concrete proposal,
but bills which are pending to give
the state absolute title to land bid
in at delinquent tax sales are prob
able forerunners.
If a law of this kind goes into
operation the state VIII become abb
solute fee owner of considerable
cutover land, and the common sense
policy win be to set it to growing
timber. If the state could get pos
session of cutover land in large
tracts, they could be devoted to tree
raising and form a constant supply
of timber for future years.
Plans of. the state forestry board,
however, do not depend on haphaz-
ard acquisition of land at tax sales.
The board urges the buying of cut
over land for state forests.
The state timber board, which
manages the sale of timber from
state lands, is working in close har-
mony with the forestry board, nd
under its policy all large tracts Of
sound timber owned by the tatc
are being handled as permanent for
ests, only the mature or damaged |
