If all the appropriation bills pend
ing before the Wisconsin legislature
were to pass there would be deficit
in the general fund at the end of the
next biennial period, to be raised by
state tax, of 1866, 390.35. This is the
gist of a statement by Senator George
B. Hudnall, chairman of the senate
claims committee, and by l.. G.. Whit
tet of Edgerton, chairman of the as
sembly claims committee, which was
placed upon the desks of the members
for perusal. The document is a finan-
cial resume of the receipts and dis
bursements of the state for ten years,
together with an analysis of the pres
ent revenues of the state and possibly
necessary expenditures in the next
biennial period.
The pamphlet prepared by the
chairman estimates that at the end of
the year the estimated balance in the
state treasury will be $20928. With
out any additional appropriations, the
pamphlet shows that the total est.
mated funds available for 1910 will be
S6,182948, and that the total estimat-
ed disbursements will be $5,293,50O,
leaving an estimated balance in the
state treasury, with no additional APP
preparation bills passed, of $889,448.

ADMINISTRATION HISTORY.
New Work Shows Development OF
State Government.

State Government.
Under the title Indirect Central
Administration of wisconsin" new
bulletin in the economics and political
science studies of the University of
Wisconsin, has just been published.
The author, James Duff Barnett, who
received his degree of doctor of phi
losophy at the state university in 1905,
has made careful study of the central
administration of Wisconsin and the
various governmental functions.
From the appointment by the United
States president of the first territorial
governor of Wisconsin in 1886 to the
establishment of the most recent de-
partment of state administration, that
of the civil service commission in
1906, the writer has surveyed the en-
tire field of the states governmental
departments. He has confined the dis
cussion in his bulletin, however, main
ly to consideration of the origin and
development of indirect administra-
tive branches
Few radical changes have been
made since territorial days in the gen
eral functions of Wisconsin's indirect
government, the bulletin points out,
only two new departments the civil
service and tax commission, having
been added. Both of these depart
ments were created in 1905, though
both were developments of previous
systems. The civil service commits
sion, for instance, was preceded by
the merit system, applied in the
larger cities of the state by legisla-
ton beginning ten years before the
formation of the commission. The
state tax commission was direct
outgrowth of the investigative body of
commissioners Of 1928, says the
bulletin, and was not made a perma-
nent institution until 1905.
Another interesting development of
administration described by the bull
letin is the state Legislature reference
library, established in 1901, for the
purpose of furnishing information to
state officers and members of the leg
islature on all manner of subjects in
economics, government and law,
which may become matters of legis-
lation. More than fifty years before,
says Mr.. Barnett, similar aid was Civ
en- for a short time to the attorney
general by provision made in 1848
and repealed the next year.
In the consideration of the subject
of taxation, the monograph points out
the interesting fact that most of the
state revenues are now derived from
the taxation of corporations Methods
of collecting taxes from insurance
companies, railroads, telegraph COM
panies, electric light and power com
panies and others, also traced in their
development to the present system
under the tax commission. The es-
tablishment of the inheritance tax
in 1903 and the method of administra-
ton in its collection are also de-
Scribed

Governor of Wisconsin Offers Re-
ward for Arrest of SwindIer.
Gov. Davidson at the request of the
county board of Sank county has is
sued proclamation offering 5000 re-
ward for information that will lead
TO the arrest and conviction of Will
lam Saddleh, who is believed to be
one of the smoothest crooks who ever
operated in Wisconsin. By means of
forged deeds and abstracts he bun
coed J. P. Witwen, a real estate deal
or in Baraboo, out OF $4,000.
In January Saddler, whose correct
name is not known to certainty,
went to Witwen and asked him for a
be of the value of $4,000 in the town
Of Spring Green, Sank county.
Saddler had deed of the land and
an abstract brought down to date. 1t
has since been disclosed that he OBJ
tanned the deed, and impression of
The seal of Thomas w. King, a Spring
Green notary, by using the name of
the rightful owner of the land. He
forged the name of King with forged
the names to the abstract and then
brought the papers to Baraboo.
Upon this evidence Witwen loaned
Saddler $4,000 and drew mortgage
against the premises, which Saddler
said he owed. Saddler has not been
heard from since. Upon the record
ing of the deed and the mortgage at
the office of the register of deeds in
Sank county the forgery was discov-
cred. The county board has also of
tered a reward.

''The opportunities for farmers to

In urging the advantages of this new
agricultural region, he gives ten
points which will assist the new
farmer in attaining success:
Grow clover on your land it is
the best crop you can raise.
cultivate we'll at least a part OF
your land; do not attempt to clear
too large "a farm at once.
Dairy cows and sheep should be
kept on every Northern Wisconsin
farm.
Grow cultivated crops, potatoes
root crops and corn on at least one
fourth of your land.
Strawberries and garden vegeta

Bulletins Show Results.
At the three northern substations
of the agricultural experiment station
at Ashland Superior and Iron River
the problems confronting farmers in
the new territory are being worked
out and results given directly to
farmers in these sections. Bulletins
giving results with various crops in
this section may be hid by address

Glover is the most valuable crop
that can be grown in Northern Wis
consin," writes Mr. I,elwiche, "and
every effort should be made to obtain
good plans. Every settler should get
at least one or two go ID cows, which
may be grazed on adjoining wild
lands, and with proper care and feed
a good cow will give a net return OF
$50 to SIS per year. Sheep are a
great help in clearing land. Chick
ems pay good returns and every farm
err should have a flock. A few pigs
should also be raised to furnish al

cHlRoPRAcToRs TURNED DOWN
Davenport Doctor Fails to Convince
Committee

Cadavers, nerve centers, ganglae
and the spinal column figured in hot
discussion before the senate commit
tee on public health last week when
the Morris bill relating to the practice
of chiropractic came up for a hearing.
The bill will be reported for death
DR.. Palmer of the Davenport Chiro-
practic school was on hand to advo-
cate the recommendation of the bill,
but his efforts failed. DR.. ]. B. Ste
vens, secretary of the state board of
medical examiners, who halls from
Jefferson, was pitted against him in
the hottest kind of a debate in which
members of the committee entered oc-
casionally. DR.. Palmer insisted that
chiropractors had discovered new
nerves which, with proper treatment
with the hands, cured victims of
many diseases. He maintained that
present medical knowledge was wrong
in theory and practice, and said that
chiropractors would before long cor
rect many mistakes. DR.. Stevens
took issue with him when Dr. Palmer
said that he had traced new nerves
their entire length. He offered to fur
nish DR.. Palmer with a cadaver and
pay his board and expenses for as
long as he remained at the job if he
would come to Madison and trace the
nerves of which he spoke. DR.. Pal
mer protested that he did not have
time to accept the offer, but offered
to produce photographs taken during
long periods of research.
DR.. Palmer's bill sought to create a
special board of examiners appointed
by the governor, this board to have
jurisdiction over practitioners of the
new medical science. 1t was to be
separate from the present board of
medical examiners. The discussion
came to an abrupt end when Dr.. Pal
mer left to catch a train.

Can Be Brought.
State Treasurer Dahl believes he
has discovered a law that will permit
the prosecution Of former Insurance
Commissioner William A. Fricke of
Wausau for fees alleged to have been
retained by him while in office. Some
time ago it was ascertained that no
actions could be maintained after ten
years. AS Emil Giljohann was serv-
ing as commissioner within the last
ten years, Attorney General Gilbert
started suit Against him to ascertain
if the fees really belong to the state
Since then Mr.. Dahl has discovered a
law which in effect says that the stat
ute of limitations does not run against
persons residing outside the state. AS
Fricke resided in New York for num-
Der of years after serving the state
as insurance commissioner the state
treasurer believes there is sufficient
justification for suit against Fricke.

One Firm Alone Has Cut Over a Hun
dred Million Feet.
The logging season has been one of
the most successful in years. The
most extensive operations have been
carried on al the Odanah reservation,
where the Stearrs Lumber company
is operating. Twenty-three camps
were opened on the reservation, and
over 1,50O men were given employ
ment.
With the breaking up of the camps
over 1C0,000,000 feet will have been
logged by this one concern. Con-
tracts have already been let for the
saving of this timber, and six mills
will be kept going during the sum-
mer. The company will operate their
large mills in Washburn and at Oda-
nah, and they will also do saving at
the two mills at Bayfield,, one at Red
Cliffe and one at Ashland.
The Edward Hines Lumber COM
pany has had busy season in the
woods, and will run two large mills
through the summer. Extra camps
will be started to keep mills going.
