rAxss AND HIca cosr on LIVING

The advancing cost Of living is gener-
ally admitted. Il has become serious
reduction in the annual revenue. But
accompanying it comes a tremen-
dous increase in the cost of state and
local government. Think OF the people
of Wisconsin paying out thirty-six mill
lions of dollars in state expenses alone
as the cost of'state government for the
present two-year period. The tax pay
er is between the upper and neither
milestone of the high cost of living
which he cannot help. and the fearful
high cost of government which be can
ard ought to help. Il would seem as
if it is the one and sole thought of so
called progressive politicians to wiring
the last possible dollar out of the tax
payer -Governor Hoard.
OF the burdens laid upon the tsxpsy-
ers Of Wisconsin by the various taxing
agencies, particularly by the state gov
eminent, there seems to be no reason,
and almost no end. Ii is suspected,
however, that this time the politicians
who conduct the state government have
gone too far. Somewhere there should
b. line beyond which in the taking of
private property for public purposes.
or political purposes or whatever one
may choose to call it, it may not be safe
to go on. That line, we should say, has
now been crossed and it win be pretty
difficult for anyone connected with the
spendthrift crew satisfactorily to ex-
plain his position to the people when
the time comes to elect new set of
state officers and new legislature. 49,

KICKER EXPLAINS FALLING OFF
IN SOCIALIST MEMBERSHIP
A. w. Kicker, publicity director for
the National Socialist party, issued a
statement today, admitting that dis
sensions within the party ranks had
caused many locals to disband and
had caused an apparent loss in mem
bership.
Ricker's statement supplements a
recent article in the Party Builder,
the official organ of the party, in
which it was asserted that because
of inner warfare over sabotage and
syndicalism, advocated by the !. W.
W., the membership of the party, as
represented in paid-up dues, had
dropped from 135, 900 to $4,000.
Kicker declared today that the
greatest falling off in membership
was in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where
several locals disbanded because of
the factional strife. However, he
pointed to recent Socialist gains in
elections in Texas and Butte, Mont,
as evidence that in some localities
the party is gaining strength.
The statement asserts that fall
ing off in membership is always no
ticeable during the summer months.
