Crandon.-The graft investiga-

recent term of Circuit court in which
thirty-seVen criminal actions and
thirteen civil suits were disposed of.

all but three were disposed of, those
affecting one man who secured a con-
tfnuance. Some were convicted, 9TH

the civil suits, all We're settled out of
court.
1t is probable that a few may be
appealed, but the prosecution has
brought over $11, 900 into the treas

$4,000 more will be added to this
sum.
Attorney A. c. Umbreit, Milwau-

months been acting as district at
torney following the suspension and
disbarment of former District Attor-

no ENLARGED CAPITOL
COMMISSION DECIDES NOT TO
MAKE CHANGE IN BUILDING
PLANS OF STATE HOUSE.
Structure, Which VIII Cost $1,000.
600, to Be Fully Completed
in Four More Years.

Madison.--The capitol building
commission will not change the
plans of the new statehouse so as to
provide for a larger assembly cham
Der. The present chamber N tho
west wing of the new capitol will
continue to be used by the lower
house of the legislature and a small
er chamber for the senate will DO
prepared in the south wing, which is
now under construction.
The plans have been partly
changed so as to provide for larger
than those first adopted. The SEN
ate at the last session of the legis-
lature reduced the number of its
standing committees from seventeen
to five, but increased the member
ship of each committee, thus requir-
ing larger committee rooms but
fewer of them. To meet this change
the plans for committee rooms for
the senate were altered by the cap
itol commission. Two of the four
finished, another is about to be
rooted and the steel work for the
central or dome part has been fin
tshed. 1t is planned to complete the
wing now building and the dome
part before the next legislature
meets. leaving only one wing, the
north, to be built hereafter. 1t is
estimated that it will take the entire
fourteen months intervening before
the next legislature meets to COM
plete the work now in hand. Ali CT
the WORK on the new capitol has been
pushed faster this year than at any
time since it was begun about six
years ago. The new capitol will
probably be finished within four
years and will cost about 100000.

can't put it back Never take out a
limb this year that you are sure will
not do any harm il you do not take IT

limbs that are SO diseased where there
is no hope of recovery from any treat
ment Here Is another mistake:
Very many times those limbs are
taken out and are left lying in the

s940,235 IN STATE
TAXES IS RENTED
FUNDS IN TREASURY SUFFICE
EMIT TO HELP BEAR COST
OF GOVERNMENT.
LEVY is $4,000 BELOW 1911
Governor Discovers There Is; Money
Enough on Hand to Near.y Nee.
Appropriations Made at the Last
Legislative Session.

Madison.-A remission OF $780,
z35 from the tax levy as recently
made was ordered by the state board
of assessment which consists of Gov.
McGoVern, Secretary of State Frear
and State Treasurer Dahl.
This means that instead of total
levy OF s5,557,255.95 the actual to-
tai levy will be but $4,617,O20.95;
that instead of an increase of $751;
996.42 over the total levied in 1910
for the tax OF 1911, the increase is
only S21,761.42. 1t means more
than this, for the amount RENTED
exc eeds the amount OF all the in
creases of special appropriations
made by the legislature of 1911 by
s6,973, and were it not for the in
crease of the amount levied for spe-
c1al charges against the counties the
total of the levy would be consider
ably less than that of a year ago.
The remission is made possible by
the large income the state has re-
ceived from the inheritance tax and
other sources of indirect taxation.
The present remission is of the
special appropriation for the new
capitol S450,000, and the appropri-
alton for the normal schools, $780,
235, making total of $94O,235.
The condition that made this re-
mission of tax possible, almost neces-
sary in fact, was that there appeared
IN the treasury an extraordinary
balance ON Oct. 27, 1911, of $2,499,-
1923, Il sum in excess of that in
the same fund on the same date a
year ago by 1921, 1888 and ST.
651,667.51 more than was in that
fund on tile same date In 1909. Fol-
