While every county in the state is affected to some exten by reforestration, directly or indirectly, there are certain counties which are peculiarly and Oneida county is one of them. This county is comprised of.34* Government Townships with a total acreage of 760,490, of which the state is holding for re- forestration purposes 69,620.48 acres, or abont 9 15-100 per cent, of the total area of the county.

Whence consider that the. of state lands within a town does nothing towards decreasing the necessary expenditures ind and that lands purchased by the state are removed from the amount of available taxable property, and that as a consequence all the taxes must be paid by the owners of other property in that town, it is easily seen that local residents must and do suffer an increase in the amount of their, respective taxes. For example: A town has 20,000 acres of taxable lands and requires a tax levy, in addition to the tax on personal property and i incomes of $2,000. The land would then have to pay and bear taxes at an average of ten cents per acre.

Now suppose the state comes in and takes 10,000 acres for reforestration purposes. Tins reduces the taxable land to one-half of the former amount, and to raise the tax of $2,000 the residents of the town would have to pay taxes on the average of twenty cants per In this way each man's taxes would be doubled with no corresponding benefit. Another injustice and mistake is to use these lands for re- forestration when they are in fact most excellent agricultural I lands. Oneida county has now developed to such an extent that it bids fair to become one of the greatest dairying and agricultural Mrs Jessie Hampton 'counties in the state. This is evidenced not only by the superior- Mrs.

While reforestration may benefit these people of means who desire a summer home with forest and stream, fish and game, it is at the expense of the state and to the extreme detriment of the northern part thereof. With these lands occupied by actual settlers they would become of greater value, and the farm produce and its proceeds help to enrich the entire state; the prosperity of Northern Wisconsin would be shared by the rest of the state and taxes paid by farmers on-these lands now held by the state and exempt from taxation would naturally reduce the amount of state taxes paid by the southern counties; banks, storea and all business would benefit; a new field for loans would be opened up, more bank depositors and purchasers of goods would spring up, and the poor man willing to for himself could obtain a farm within his means, which Continued on Last Page.
