celebration of Perry's victory on Lake
Erie (S4O, 000). Voted an appropriation
to the widow of H. w. Cheynoweth for
legal services after the claim had been
turned down by the governor and two
| previous Legislatures. Voted to pur-
chase state parks and a fixed annual
appropriation for ten years to be used
for forest reserve lands. For Camp
Randall Memorial park (S25, OOO) Pro-
viding for the purchase of lands for the
| university, farm lands at $1,000 per
acre, marshes at that, which few
years before were bought for $50 per
| acre. The local trades people will also
be interested in learning that he voted
for memorial to congress in regard to
the establishment of the parcels post.
Mr.. Gettle introduced the bill to create
estate board of public affairs with
powers OF supervision and inspection of
public bodies and other public Matters -
sort of commission to boss and super
wise the numerous other commissions
the state maintains at topheavy ex-
pense.
These are few things dug out of
the record to show that Mr.. Gettle is
not safe or conservative person to be
permitted to vote away the taxpayers
money.
The charge that the last legislature
was the most reckless and proftigate
ever assembled in the state seems to
be pretty we'll proven by the records.
The taxpayers are just little anxious
to know why the expense of state gov
eminent has grown from four to twelve
million dollars in twelve years. Gov.
Hoard thinks he has discovered the Sc
cret when he says: cat the bottom of
all lies the primary law which lets in |
lot of small, narrow, cheap politicians
to the legislature. Under the old eau |
Gus system such men could not get
chance to make laws
Finally, Mr.. Gettle, you are seeking
a nomination on the republican ticket |
and the people are entitled to know, if |
nominated, will you support the nom
inees of your party. The other candi-
dates have declared themselves. Will
you?

Assemblyman Gettle's Record .

With two candidates from Edgertor
seeking the senatorial nomination, The
Reporter was in hopes that the cam.
paign might proceed without resort to
personalities, but Mr.. Gettle has seen
fit to rush into print and say some
nasty things about the editor of this
paper as well as incidentally throw a
few bricks at his local opponent. Hav-
ing opene d the door for newspaper no
torlety he has no reason to complain if
The Reporter throws light upon his
record in the last legislature, which
might have some influence in showing
his fitness to sit in the higher body of
law makers.
First of all, Mr.. Gettle should be the
last man to mention the ''pie counter, :"
for almost twenty-five straight years his
pie pitt has been close up against the
mahogany" sometimes drawing pub
lie sustenance from two or three sources
and all the time with his eyes set on
something better. If anyone ever had
an appetite for Office, he has it, and in
the hands of any specialist his case
would be diagnosed as ''chronic.''
Mr.. Gettle complains that his oppon-
ent for senatorial honors was a mem
Der of the special legislative committee
of 1909 which cost the state large
sum of money in investigating the
proposition of guarantee of bank de-
posits and mot a single bill reported
by that committee was adopted by the
legislature of 1911" Let us see about
this. Fortunately the journal of the
proceedings of the assembly of that
session contains a record of what did
happen-a far better evidence than Mr..
Gettle's say so. Anyone who desires
to learn the truth will find that the
special committee on banking reported
five separate bills, four of which be-
came laws in 1911, and Mr.. Gettle is
recorded as voting for all of those that
passed. page $50 Assembly Journal.)
In his advertising matter, Mr.. Gettle
gives Is reasons why he should be re-
turned to the legislature, the most of
which are because he supported local
bills that affected his district. Among
the others IS the expensive binder Irvine
plant which is pretty sure to prove a
costly experiment. He is also on rec
ord as opposing the appointment of a
committee to investigate the plants in
Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana be-
tore installing the plant in Wisconsin.
1t might also be added that not wheel
has yet turned in the state plant nor is
there any present prospect of it's being
put into commission
He says he worked hard for amend
ment to the tuberculosis test law, abro-
eating the compulsory features and
giving the farmers fairer compensa-
ton for cattle slaughtered. Admit it.
But the same law is considered vicious
for it provides for no compensation at
all after 1912. While he did not vote
for the income tax law, he defends it
and wants it amended and retained.
When it comes to appropriation meas
ures and the establishment of new
commissions, Mr.. Gettle has consist
ent record of voting for everything
that came along asking for public funds.

WISCONSIN stands in danger of losing
its reputation as one of the largest bar
ley producing states this year if the
present heavy rainfall continues, ac-
cording to Secretary H. A. Plumb of
the Chamber of Commerce. "All grow
ing crops have been damaged more or
less by the heavy rainfall of the past
week." said Mr.. Plumb, "but the bar
ley has suffered most of all. The soak
ing it has received has in many sections
of the state colored the kernels and
swollen them to abnormal size, greatly
decreasing their value for mailing pur-
poses" In 1911 Wisconsin produced
IL per cent of the total barley crop of
the United States, or 2O,910, 600 bush
els, ranking third in Importance among
the barley growing states. According
to John Michels of the Milwaukee
School of Agriculture, grain crops in
southern and central Wisconsin are Sc
riously damaged.

DON'T place too much credence in
the reports being circulated as to rev.
enue to be derived from the income tax
as nobody yet knows the amount to be
paid in under this tax until the collec-
ton of other taxes is made next win
ter. They tell us that over $4,000 has
been assessed in Rock county but it is
not improbable that from go to Is per
cent will be offset by personal property
tax receipts and the amount actually
derived may not much more than cover
the cost of administration. 1t is not
the amount of tax collected that most
people object to, but rather the inquisi-
tive nature and unfair methods in the
law that creates the opposition.

We DOUBT if there is a state whe

WE DOUBT if there is state where
the political machine is as strong and
all powerful as in Wisconsin. Practic-
ally every candidate for office is picked
by the machine, and every one that is
picked must have stood the test of per-
feet obedience to the machine. He
must be in favor of the creation of all
kinds of new offices and commissions
and all forms of increased taxation. He
must be prepared to defend all of these
and he must in addition agree to sup
port every machine candidate for office.
These are the main articles of faith of
political reform in Wisconsin. Deer

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-08-16

In THESE days of political degener-
acy in this state we cannot refrain
from comparing the republican, So
called, with the republican party in
Wisconsin in the days of Governors
Fairchilds, Smith, Rusk, Upham and
Scofeld, when the state affairs were
administered economically, taxes were
low and the party united. Under the
lead of demagogues, wind TANNERS and
political fakirs the state expenditures
have increased 124 per cent, taxes in
creased in about the same proportion.
and the people have been burdened to
support an army of tax eaters. Wat

A NATIONAL gathering of editors was
assembled at Madison last week, under
auspices of the state university. The
leading question to consider and expa-
tate upon was care newspapers free
to tell the truth, and if not, why not?"
That's pretty serious question to put
up to the brethren. 1t is we'll for the
university, possibly, that the press does
not tell the exact truth. The Censor is
of firm conviction that the press, as an
average, is as liable to tell the truth as
the brand of frothy theorists who were
present to discuss the topic of truthful
ness. In this age of undertaking there
are very few honest men except the
fellow who stands on his hind legs and
proclaims himself the embodiment of
all the virtue, integrity and honesty of
his community. -Viroqua Censor.
