An Unfortunate LoophoIe.

The good gasoline tax law con-
tains a loopnole, as good laws are
apt to do. 1t provides, according
to a statement received by the
Journal from State Treasurer Sol
Levitan, that all persons who pur-
chase gasoline for other purposes
than for the operation of motor We
hicles on public highways or streets
will be entitled to a refund in the
amount of the two cents per gallon
tax which they have paid on this
fuel. To get such a refund a sworn
statement, accompanied by the
original invoice showing such a
purchase, must be presented to the
state treasurer. This statement
must set forth the total amount of
such fuel purchased the purpose
for which it was used, and upon
which exemption from the tax can
be claimed. Under the law, such
statement must be filed with the
state treasurer on each quarter of
the calendar year, beginning July
l." The quantity of gasoline con-
sumed for the purposes mentioned
is but a trifing percentage Of the
whole quantity of gasoline sold,
and in the interest of simplicity it
would have been better to let it pay
the tax. Those who pay the gaso-
line tax on gasoline used in their
engines on the farms would be ben
Gifted anyhow by the good roads.
A progressive Portage county
farmer, William Scribner, Of Buena
Vista, informed the Journal the
other day that it had already been
suggested to him that it would be
easy to avoid the tax by filling the
tank on his farm and making an
affidavit that the gasoline was not
intended for use in automobiles.
Mr.. Scribner refused the tempta-
ton. We think most farmers will
feel the same way If they can
have good roads, Portage county
farmers, so they tell us are per-
fectly satisfied to pay the tax and
do not intend to poster the state
treasurer with claims for two-cent
refunds on July 1.-Stevens Point

To Plant Less Potatoes.

The effect of four years of low
returns for the Wisconsin potato
growers-either low prices or small
yields-is shown in a reduction of
1870 to be planted this spring. If
the intentions come true the Wis
consin acreage in 1925 will be 211,-
600 acres or $3.50 below the big
acreage of 1922.
The acreage If potatoes for the
country as a whole is planned to be
4fo less than last year. This would
be the lowest acreage since 1908
and slightly less than the low acre
ages of 1916 and 1919. With pres
ent intentions and an average yield
in keeping with the recent upward
trend of yields there would be a
production of 3S3 million bushels.
This would be the smallest crop
since 1921.

Fur Bearers Disappearing.

Fur Bearers disappearing.
The supply of fur bearing ami
mails in America is rapidly dis
appearing. The growth of the
population and the immense popu-
larity of fur as clothing and orna-
ment has resulted in a combing of
the wilderness that is threatening
the very existence of fur bearing
wild life.
The Biological Survey sees the
handwriting on the wall and in
recent bulletin says:
THE fur supply, once a rich her
itage and prime stimulus for the
occupation and settlement of the
continent, is seriously threatened
by present conditions and lack of
uniformity in laws and regulations
relating to open seasons, trapping
methods, and primeness of pelts.
To remedy unwholesome conditions
as far as possible, and before it is
too late, the Biological Survey is
cooperating with State conserva-
tion and game commissions in en-
couraging the enactment of uni
form trapping laws in zones hav-
ing similar climatic conditions.
"Furs Of many kinds were COM
monty taken in all sections of the
country a few generations ago, but
with the depletion or extinction
over great areas of certain of the
more priced species, the most valu-
able fur bearers in the United
States, from the standpoint Of fl
nancial returns from the annual
catch, are now the muskrat, the
hunk, the 1accoon, and the
opossum.
Fur animals are the sole basis
of the fur trade one of the oldest
and still one of the most important
industries of the world. They con-
stitute a valuable natural resource
which should be perpetuated, for
if once exterminated 4 species can
never be brought back.
Fur bearing animals should not
be classed as game, for they are
trapped primarily for fun and not
for food.
Three months is sufficiently
long open season for any fur-bear-
ing animal, and the bureau is
recommending legislation to this
end. 1t is also urging that trappers
be required to make annual reports
of the number of each species
taken, for with data thus made
available a sound foundation will
be provided for survey of the an
nual catch and it's relation to the
breeding supply, or, as it may be
termed the capital stock"
In urging the Importance of
proper legislation on fur animals
the Survey points out that what is
needed is not more laws but bet
ter laws and stricter enforcement
of them. Laws relating to fur
species should be uniform through
out State, so that every section
may be equally affected. To frame
fur legislation requires an open
minded approach to the subject,
without bias or influence by one
