APPROPRIATIONS.
The Wisconsin legislature cannot be
accused of being conservative in the
matter of voting money away. During
the session the appropriations cover
ing a period of two years will amount
to only little less than $5,000,00O,
and this is in addition to special tax
of considerably over $4,000 900. While
a number of proposed appropriations
were cut and others were cast aside,
the legislature during its course of
constructive" legislation saw fit to
deal generously with state institu-
