school team with a Sc to score or
saturday. The local boys started Of
With rush and kept the visitors from
getting a real start all through the
me. The Beaver Dam fullback was
the most effective man of the invad
IS. The midget end started some
Ling in the third quarter by grab

otting down an open field for 4C
gards bcEo:e his pursuers could catcl

larry III the game the Beaver Dan
unner Was tackled behind his own
goal on the kickoff, an unusual pla!
netting two points.
All the local men did good work
teamwork predominatlng over indi
yiduGI starring The forward pass was
worked TO good advantage, and when
the back field got the ball they were
hard to stop.
Each game shows improvement il
playing ability and the coming games
with strong teams should be interest

meet the Waupun high school team at
Washington Park here.
Milwaukee Normal 10, n. w. C.. O.
The Northwestern College eleven
returned from the Milwaukee Normal
game at Milwaukee, Saturday with the
short end of a 10 to 0 score The col
lege warriors are a strong aggrega-
ton but the Milwaukee eleven is said
to be represented by the most power
full bunch they have had in recent
years. The strong wind was a dis
advantage to the college team, spoil
ing their forward passes and kicks.
With two touchdowns against them
the Black and Red showed comeback
ability by pushing the ball to the three
yard line just before the whistle blew
in the second quarter The teamwork
was good and the defeat is no fore
cast of the result in future games
Next Saturdays battle will be at
Whitewater with Whitewater Normal.

S00,000.00



There are many other items of
smaller amount on account of new
appropriations which have impaired
the general fund but this is sufficient
to show the conditions of disburse-
ments
II the critics are correct in their
estimate as to the finances for the
future and are correct in their state
ment, it is matter entirely for the
Legislature in planning for future ap-
preparations to make provision for q
tax levy to meet said appropriations,
as the legislature will meet in Janu-
ary and have all the facts before them.
State finances today cannot be COM
pared with conditions fifteen years
ago. By a state policy we are giving
aid to almost everything. Whether
this is a good policy may be debat-
able. We turned back to the counties
1852, ,S35.24, whereas the total amount
S4,433, ,736.00. The state treasurer's
office is today a collecting and dis
tributing agency where same did not
exist fifteen years ago. The only
question that should be asked is:
Are the funds handled honestly, and
are we getting the worth OF our
money!
There is and will be sufficient money
in the general fund to meet all obli-
cations until taxes are received in
1917.
There is this to be said of the Phil
| ipp administration. There has been
a decrease in. expenditures without
destroying the efficiency of any of the
departments.

Past Years.

The following communication has
been received at THE LEADER office
from State Treasurer Johnson, con-
tanning complete report of the fl
nancial condition of the state, with
explanations covering the difference
in the state funds OF last year and
this year
There has been so much said in
the last eight months about state f..
nances, so many insinuations made
and statements given out to news
papers, that the question may well be
asked,-'Is state government run hon
estly and on business basis?' First
it must be understood that the secre-
tary of state cannot and does not
draw any warrants on the treasurer
excepting same are authorized by law,
be the amount ever so small
1t has been given out on several
occasions that the state is bankrupt,
at least when comparing finances with
last year. If a comparison must be
made as to the general fund on Octo-
ber 1st, 1916, and same date last year,

buds are being carried ere they
bloom. Look back, II you can steal
a moments time from looking for
