GOVERNOR ELEcTIsFAVORABLE
Appropriation Made to Extend Over a
Term of Years Will Probably be
Wiped Out by Legislative Action and
New Appropriations Are Planned.

There will be forceful discussion
at this session of the legislature in re-
gard to the present financial system
of the, state, and it is probable that
bills will be introduced which, if en-
acted into laws, will place the state
OF Wisconsin as well as the city of
Milwaukee, on a strictly annual APP
preparation basis.
This would mean the wiping out of
the appropriations and which unless
changed by statute at every session
OF the appropriations which are now
by statute provided for as annual APP
preparations which, unless there is a
legislative enactment on them, are
practically permanent appropriations.
These appropriations include the So
called mill-tax appropriations which
give certain proportion of mill tax
for the support of certain state depart
ments such as che University of Wis
consin, the state normal schools and
the common schools, and if any change
is made the provision in the future will
be that each legislature shall make an
appropriation for all specified objects
for which the state expends money.
Gov.-elect Philip has been giving
this question a great deal of study of
late and will undoubtedly make very
definite recommendations in his initial
message on the question. Just what
stand he will take in regard to the
appropriations no one, of course, can
say until his message is presented to
the public, but there are many persons
who believe he will take stand in
favor of the direct appropriations
which would give an opportunity for
every tax payer in the state to know
exactly just what amount Of state
money is being spent each year for
any specific purpose. This plan of d.
rect appropriations has had many sup
porters for many years among people
who are cognizant of the state affairs,
but each year it has been encroached
upon by departments of the state who
desired to divorce themselves from leg
islative control.
Attempts have been made in the past
to do away with some Of the so-called
fixed appropriations, but the friends
of the departments receiving these ap-
preparations have always been power
full enough to prevent any change.
The attempt this year, however, will
be more decided than any of it's pre-
decessors and there are great many
people who believe that the present
system of state appropriations will
be materially changed by the enact
ments of the coming legislature.
Anyway, as said before, the proposed
new financial policy of the state will
be given consideration. The fact that
the taxes have, been rapidly increasing
under the present system of appropria-
lions may have a good deal of effect
III giving support to the direct ap-
preparation plan. 1t almost goes with
out saying that any attempt to re-
turn to the direct appropriation plan
will have strong opposition before
the legislature.

sIxTY-sEvEN YEARS MARRIED.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. yule to Observe Nota-
bic Anniversary at Los Angeles.

On Friday, New Years day, was
the sixty seventh anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. George Yule
and the veteran president of the Balm
Wagon Company and his wife will OBJ
serve the event at their winter home
in Los Angeles. 1t will be the first
time in several years that Mr.. and Mrs.
Yule have not been at their Park
avenue home to receive the congratula-
lions of their friends on the anniver-
sary of their marriage, but many tele-
grams of congratulation will reach
them from Kenosha. "Fathern Yule
who was recently stricken with paralv-
sis, is regaining his health and strength.
He was so much improved on Wednes-
day that, his son, George A. Yule, went
up to SanFrancisco to spend the day,
but he will be back in Los Angeles on
Friday to be present at the family din
ner. Father Yule is now thought to be
out of danger and he is able to be
about his home.

Carl Christian julius Won
Ahlefeldt-L aurvigen Died
Suddenly in City Friday.
LONG RESIDED IN TH|SCOUNTRY

A son of Danish peer, a man who
at one time carried with his name the
title to vast but ruined estates in both
Norway and Denmark, died in Keno
sha early on New Years morning.
There was nothing of the ancestral
home to mark his death bed, but he
passed away at the pleasant cottage of
his home on 766 JENNIE street and it
was not until after his eyes were cold
In death that the story of his life be-
came known. Before that he was
known only as kindly disposed old
Danish gentleman who had polished
manners and who seemed to take little
interest in the things about him but
went to and fro from the home of his
son with far-aWay look in his eyes as
If dreaming of castles somewhere else.
The man was Carl Christian, julius Won
Ahlefeldt-Laurvigen only son of Adolph
Won Ahlefeldt-Laurvigen, one time a
power in Denmark. In Kenosha all
mention Of his honorary position in
Denmark had been dropped and he was
known under the prosaic name of Julius
Ahlefedlt, but he will be buried with
his entire name inscribed on the plate
on the casket and while far from the
home of his ancestors he will have
every honor that would have been paid
to him in the days when his family was
close to the throne in Denmark.
The story of the old man reads like
romance. He was born in Tornholm
the family estate in Korsor-Sialland,
not far from Copenhagen. His father
was rightfully one of the last of the
barons in Denmark. At one time the
family estate Tornholm had been noted
for its beauty and its splendor, but
when England went to war with Den
mark early in the nineteenth century
the landed estates of the Won Ahlefeldt
family, among others, were ruined by
the drain made upon them by the war
and when the descendant, who as an
old man died in Kenosha on Friday
was born, there was little left of the
estate. The son was educated in his
native land and bore with honor the
name of his family. Thirty years ago
he was forced to leave his native land
and he came to America and settled in
Chicago. Here he lived until his wife
died in 1893 and then with his one son,
Carl, he returned to Denmark hoping to
sell property which he had acquired in
Chicago and from the returns Of it pur-
chase back at least little part of the
ancestral estates Of his family. While
he was in Denmark he lost his property
in Chicago. The one son Carl Able
feldt grew to manhood and returned
to America, the land Of his birth, and
dropping the family name became
known only as Ahlefeldt. He came to
Kenosha county and for time was
engaged in the plant of the power
company at Pleasant Prairie as an en-
gineer, but for number of years he
had resided in Kenosha. When age
overlook the father he returned to
america and since that time he had
made his home with his son. He was
eighty-one years of age and death
came very suddenly. He had been in
seemingly good health on Thursday but
early Friday morning he was seized
with acute indigestion and he died Just
after four O'Clock in the morning
