EXPLAINS PLAN FOR BUDGET
usssr New Scheme Legislators Are
kss< Constantly in Touch With
States Condition.

Wiseonsin's plan for state budget
described as new policy among the
American states, is made the subject
f volume of 259 pages issued by
the state board OF public affairs, writ
ten by Gale Lowrie. Although ap-
preaching the English system it -
not expected the plan will work with
the perfection OF that system.
The Wisconsin budget is the concep-
tion and final achievement OF the state
board of public works and has been
worked out sance the 1911 legislature
closed. 1t provides plan whereby all
members Of the legislature have full
knowledge at all times of the fiscal
situation of the state and sufficient
information TO base their plans before
any action or Judgment is required OF
them.
Under the old plan In this state the
appropriations were lacking in uni
termity, the appropriation bills being
reported from the finance committee
separately and each considered on Its
merits, With bat little regard to the
other demands On the state treasury
or ON the resources available for pay
ment. When the budget plan was de-
ternl5ned on the board Of public af-
fairs sent blanks for estimates to all
the state institutions and departments,
asking them to state their needs for
the next fiscal period. These were
tahulatod and presented to the finance
committee Under the law creating
the board OF public affairs all depart
ments are required to submit esti-
mates OF their needs to this board thir-
ty days before the regular session. In
thta way all this material will be pre-
pared and tabulated for the use of the
Legislature before 1t convenes. ten
tetive budget will be prepared, sent to
all members before the session opens
and be given to the press in order
that publicity may be had.
Mr.. Lowrie also points out that it
in not essential that all appropria.
tons should be made at every session
OF the legislature and how great q
advantage lies in the system IF con
tinuing appropriations for perm anent
services. 1t is therefore important
that the appropriatins body make q
periodic review OF all state grants tC
determine the wisdom Of their contin
aance.

Assumes Task of Trying to Redeem
Bad Boys.

n. W. Norris, millionaire, son Of Mr..
and Mra Charles Norris of Milwau-
kee, has undertaken the task OF re-
forming bad boys after every proba-
ton Officer in the city has given up.
Young Norris saved Alexander Ro-
laanowicz a six-year term in the Wau-
kesha industrial school by promising
to take the boy in hand. The lad must
report to Mr.. Norris three times a
week and from the $3.50 week he
earns must pay $50 for property he
destroyed.
The court told the erring boy that
he had one good trait anyway-that
OF standing by his mother.
Mr.. Norris also took in charge Wal
ter Pepper. a boy who continually
runs AVA from home and whose
father wants him disciplined.

gagement to an End.

Nogales, Ariz., March 14-Constitu-
tionalists overthrow the federal garri-
son at Nogales, Sonora, and now are
in possession of the border town, after
a fight which continued with little
abatement for twelve hours. Casual
ties are estimated at 100 dead and
twice as many wounded on both sides.
Private Allen A. Umfeet, Troop G.

here. The shot passed through his
face from nose to ear. No other Amer

The United States soldier was shot
when the attack was at its height.
Lieutenant Colonel Tate, in charge OF
the Fifth cavalry patrol. instantly sent
word to General Obregon, in command
Of the rebel forces:
You have shot one of my men.
Cease firing or l shall be after you at
once
At the same moment the firing from
the regulars, under Generals Roster
litzky and Reyes, slackened. BY some
preconcerted arrangement Lieutenant
Colonel Tate called his bugler and Or
dered him to sound the Mexican cease
firing order The federal garrison
instantly obeyed, but desultory firing
continued to come from the besiegers.
Colonel Obregon succeeded in hold
ing back the fire from his men so that
Kosterlitzky and Reyes, with their
forces, were able to cross to the Unit
ed States, where they surrendered to
Colonel Wilbur e. Wilder, Fifth cav
airy, who arrived late to take com.
mand Of the American troops. The
Mexican federal soldiers stacked their

President Wilson Decides on
Extra Session Date.
C0NfERS WITH UNDERWOOD
Executive and House Leader Agree
That the Tariff Will Be the Only
Subject Considered.

Washington, March 13--President
Wilson's proclamation assembling the
Sixty-third congress ia special session
will fix April as the date and sug-
gest that the revision of the tariff
should be the only subject given con-
sideration
These facts became known following
"a conference between President Will
son and Representative Oscar w. I'm
derwood, the Democratic leader Of the
house.
1t has been decided that action on a
measure proposing changes in the
banking and currency laws shall be
deferred until the regular session OF
congress that will begin in December.
After consideration of all the facts
the president came to the conclusion
that it would be better to restrict the
work of the special session to the
tariff revision bills in order that they
might be placed on the statute books
a. tAC C~AatCSb P' dtISaoiS AotV'
1t was pointed ont to the president
that until uncertainty concerning the
tariff program Of the Democrats has
been dissipated business in many lines
will to some extent be suspended.
The argument was made that concur
rent action on the tariff and banking
and currency laws would delay enact
ments in both instances, with posi-
bility Of serious disturbance in
business.
The president will send first a mes
sage pointing out the necessity for
tariff revision and Will follow this
with a series Of messages upon specific
things which he believes congress may
be able TO act upon without unneces-
sarily prolonging the session. This
course is said to have been approved
at cabinet meeting.
1t was originally the intention OF
President Wilson to call congress to-
gether on or about April /. At the
instance Of Chairman Underwood and
his associates on the ways and means
committee it was decided that con-
gress should meet on April Z. The
change in date, was made to give the
tariff makers of the house more time
to complete the revision bills.
