BUDGET OF MAYOR
1t Calls for an Increase OF
$4,000. Over Last Year.
Firemen To Get Big Raise I'm
der Corwine's Plan.

Calling for an increase Of S26,-
2Oo.5o the 1920 budget Of Mayor Cor
wine for the police and fire depart
ments has been filed with w. H Was
son. commissioner OF finance.
The mayor asks for an increase OF
s14,29S.50 for the fire department and
for s11,s02 for the police department.
In 1919 the fire department budget
OF the general fund called for STA
s23; it has been increased for 1920 TO
SsS,214. The extra platoon called for
s51,55S and has this year been in
creased to S32,460.
Aside from many incidental operat-
ing expenses the chief cause of in
crease IN the budget OF the fire de-
partment is the hike asked in salaries
The request calls for an increase in
salaries Of the members Of the fire de-
partmeut ranging from $40 to $40 per
month.
General Fund Increases.
The expenses Of the general fund
carry an increase of s13,3s1.5O, while
the cost OF operating the extra platoon
viii increase by S9O7 under the new
budget
The Police Budget.
Altho the request from the police
department has an increase. it is not
TO so large an extent as is the budget
Of the fire department
In 1919 the police asked for S56,05S.
This year the amount is increased to
$3.50. Tn chief cause for increase
IS In salaries. Practically every mem
Der of the department would receive
$40 raise should the commissioners
grant the increased budget. The sal
airy of the chief of police would be
increased to $500. Patrolmen will
received 1920, or 500 per month.
They receive $50 per month at
present.
OF course there is no assurance that
this budget Will be granted. It is
tentative outline Of what is considered
most desirable and most needed. All
of the city departments will show in
creases. After all the budgets are
turned in, the commissioners will have
something to work on and may get
down to work on the main budget
There is no doubt that the main
city budgets will get heavy increases.
There is no way of avoiding that. and
also an increase in taxes. However. it
will no doubt prove true, that no one
department will be granted the full
extent OF the request.

REFORMING THE UNIVERSE

In vetoing for the second time the
repeal of the daylight saving bill,
President Wilson declares that he
gravely considered the public welfare
in relation to manufacturing industry
and in relation to agriculture, and,
deciding in favor of the former he
with utmost reluctance" negatived
the MEASURE. The American farmer
is unable to avail himself of that
extra hour In the morning because
the dew prevents. 1t is said that
the laborer will not consent to pro-
gram which calls him to the mill an
hour earlier in the morning and blows
the "knock-off' whistle in the even
ing, yet, in reality, that is precisely
what he is doing under this daylight
saving plan.
Time can no more be turned for
ward than it can be turned backward.
If it could a healthy majority OF the
country would be willing to shorten
its allotted span by something like a
year and half in order to speed the
arrival Of March 4, 1921, which will
put period to wisconsin. The nub
of the whole situation seems to be
that the industrial class refuses to 60
to work an hour earlier and is doing
it, while the farmer simply can not
60 to work any earlier and hope to
achieve anything. Nature will not
let him. ST. with this situation
plainly before him, Mr.. Wilson once
more arrays class against class and de-
cides against the farmer Meanwhile
food is far more vital to the A merican
people than steel billets or cotton
goods.
