Wisconsin LEADS, not only the Ma
ton but the world, in the manufac-
ture of cheese and condensery pro
ducts, in the canning OF peas and in
flour from custom mills.
In agriculture, Wisconsin ranks
EVERY OTHER STATE in milk, in
cigar leaf tobacco, in hemp, in pure
bred seeds, in dairy cattle, in peas,
in silage, crops, in acre production of
corn, wheat, oats and flax.
And Wisconsin ranks SECOND
among the states in the production
of hay and forage, Of potatoes and
vegetables, in butter, tame hay, po-
tatoes, cabbage and in VARIETY of
crops.
The gross value of her farm pro-
ducts in 1919 was $78O,616,OOO an in
crease of 1872 per cent in ten years
while the value of her manufactured
products at that time was $1,846,-
100000, an increase of PIP per cent.
In that year the total value of Wis
consin's farm property was $2,675, 900
600 and the capital invested in man
ufacturing enterprise $1,375 900, 900.
Here is a remarkable BALANCE be
tween the industrial and agricultural
interests -UNEQUALLED by any
other state-and which is one great
factor in Wisconsin's mounting pres.
perity.
| With Wisconsin's far-flung front
age and matchless harbors on two
great inland seas, that, before many
years, will be joined to the Atlantic;
With her tremendous resources of
hydro-electric power in her inland
streams, and, backing all, her vast
acreage of fertile, all-productive soil
this state looks toward future of
industrial, agricultural and CONNER
cial development that they may we'll
challenge the imagination.
If ever people had cause for con-
fidence,- for pride and for the "boos-
ter spirit, both for all that has been
accomplished and what the future
holds in store, it is this people of
Wisconsin
Then let them make vocal their
claim to achievement and supremacy
let them rise in their might and 81

COMMON OVERLOOKING INTER.
ESTS. Industry cannot prosper un.
less agriculture prospers, and upon
their prosperity, in turn, the pros
perity of trade and commerce is de.
pendent.
No economic element of the com
munity can live unto itself alone,
can hope to thrive at the expense of
any other element. In TEAMWORK
in common understanding and help
fulness. lies the hope of building the
greater Wisconsin for which nature
and our heritage have paved the way.
The Wisconsin 'knocker' is des-
tructive of that spirit, and. that is
another reason why he must go.
There should be no room, no audi
ence for him, within the confines of
the Badger state.
It is for the people of the state to
prepare his DOOM
Before the year has closed there
should be such an enthusiastic re-as-
sertion of the old Wisconsin spirit.
such a ringing re-emphasis of Wis
consin's name and fame, that this
false, selfish crew will be driven I'M
der cover, disgraced and discredited
for all time to come.
Then let us go to it.
Let us join hands, ALL OF US
Whatever our place, our labor or our
interest-in one great BOOSTER
MOVEMENT that shall put this state
of ours upon the map in the FULL
LIGHT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
And the reward will rebound in
happiness, prosperity and well-being
not only to ourselves, but to our

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-12-06

The propaganda of ill-omen with re-
spect to industry in this state is not
new, of course.
1t was turned on full blast nearly
fifteen years ago when INCOME TAX
ALTON and WORKMEN'S COMPEN-
SATIOn were the issues of the hour.
When this legislation was being con-
sidered and finally accomplished in
1911 you heard the clamorous predic-
ton that there would be wholesale
emigration of manufacturers from the
state
But it NEVER happened.
On the contrary as we have shown,
industry has flourished, grown and
prospered in Wisconsin SINCE that
time as in no preceding period
Nevertheless the knockers and
''croakers," when faced by the possibil-
ity Of tax revision last spring, again
began to sieze upon the slightest ex-
cuse to give the state a BLACK eye, :
and, when there was no excuse, to in
vent one.
They have distorted and misrepre-

The time is more than ripe when
every loyal, right-thinking son and
daughter of Wisconsin, regardless OF
taxation or politics or any self-interest
must take stand against this denies.
tic propaganda of falsehood and de-
traction that is undermining the repu.
tation Of their commonwealth
Whereas Wisconsin taxes or any
other Wisconsin policy has NOT
driven industry from the state, this
propaganda, if unchecked and uncom-
batted, will assuredly act to keep new
industries OUT of the state.
More that that, it is slowly operat-
ing to vitiate the CONFIDENCE of
the people of Wisconsin themselves.
Every manufacturer who can see be-
You'd the hour, every business man
who looks to the future, evry citi-
zen, in fact, whose prosperity is
bound up with the prosperity of Wis
consin, must appreciate what this is
going to mean to his OWN ultimate
welfare.
There is one sure way in which
to stop this evil game, to spike the
guns of these knockers and that
is to meet their campaign of false
hood with a campaign of TRUTH :
by BOOSTING" as never before the
great RESOURCES, ACHIEVE
MENTS and OPPORTUNITIES of
the Badger State.
Facts like those we have adduced
in this article merely skim the sur
face.
We have here in Wisconsin a
mighty agricultural and industrial
empire, UNLIMITED in possibilities
Although this state is possessed of
neither coal nor oil, those great adj
jupcts of industry, it has risen, by
reason of its FAVORED LOCATION,
it's FRUITFUL SOIL and the EN-
TERPRISE and THRIFT of it's citi-
zens, to EIGHT place among it's
forty-eight sister states in the num-
Der of manufacturing establishments
and their invested capital; TENTH
place in the number of persons en-
gagged in manufacture and in the val
lie OF manufactured products
And it has maintained those ranks
despite the loss of it's great brewing
industry, and the natural decline of
its great lumber industry as well.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-12-06

For over a decade past Wisconsin
industry has enjoyed record breaking
GROWTH and PROSPERITY
During the period, 19O9-1919- the
last for which federal statistics are
available-the number of persons en-
gagged in manufacture increased about
so per cent, the capital employed 1876
per cent, and the value of the manu-.
featured product PIP per cent.
During the latter half of that per-
iod, this progress was fully as remark
able; in fact, Wisconsin's percentage
of increase in the NUMBER of. its
MANUFACTURERS and Of WAGE
FARMERS, in the VALUE of it's MAN
UFACTURED PRODUCT and the
VALUE ADDED BY MANUFACTURE
was FAR GREATER than the increase
registered by the United States AS
A WHOLE
In fact, Wisconsin, during the last
five years in question, advanced
MORE RAPIDLY in manufacturing
than ANY OTHER STATE East of
the Mississippi, with the exception of
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, centers
of the automobile industry.
Wisconsin's progress SURPASSED
that of such great Industrial states as
Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts by wide margin.
More than this, and as another evi.
dence of the Badger States economic
stability, Wfcosnsin weathered the
period of postwar depression MUCH
MORE QUICKLY and with LESS OF
LOSS than any other manufacturing
commonwealth.
Federal statistics for the past three
years are not available, but we know
that the value of Milwaukee's indus
trial output for 1922 topped that of
1921 by $S7,OOO,OOO, and nearly DOUB-
LED that of<1916, the city's last year
of record growth prior to the war.
AS to the recent progress of the
state as whole, the corporation in
come tax affords a significant clue.
Whereas corporation incomes for
1921 paid $3,746,OOO, they will pay,
without change in rate, almost DOUB-
LIE or $6,698,OOO for 1924 sum but
little less than that levied during the
most prosperous war years, and FAR
IN EXCESS of the corporation taxes
of the pre-war period.

Today, Wisconsin boasts the great,

No decent, self-respecting family in
which differences arise say as to the
bringing up of its children-would
think of advertising those differences
to world of lying about itself to its
neighbors, or telling those neighbors
that theirs is higher plane of domes-
tic life all that this or that member
of the household might gain the up
per hand
No, every decent and self-respecting
family, bound together by common
ties of interest and well-being, settles
those differences WITHIN IT'S FOUR
WALLS.
Thus it should be in a city or a
state.
If Wisconsin's taxes need revision,
if any other laws or policies upon
which the citizenship differs call for
reconsideration, the issue should and
can be settled by HONEST argument
and FAIR political contest HERE AT
HOME.
1t should not and it cannot be set
tied at least not for the BENEFIT
OF the community-by parading it be-
fore the country in false or mis-
leading form that discredits the state
and injuries it's prospects.
This, as we have said, is not a poll
tical editorial, but it is essential to an
appreciation Of the insincerity of
much of the propaganda in question
that one political phase be Illuminated
The Stalwart gentlemen who are
now bewailing taxes and the alleged
loss of industry had one of their OWN
number at the head of the state govern
ment for three successive terms, and
during part of that time they also
controlled the legislature.
Yet that regime ended with HIGH
Err TAXES for Wisconsin than ever
before, and WITHOUT REVISION of
it's tax system.
In the face of that failure, and in
spite of the fact that the present adj
ministration, during its first fiscal BIZ
ennium from June 1921 to June 1928,
REDUCED the taxes Of it's predeces-
sors by an appreciable margin, the
Stalwart spokesman are working over
time to create the impression, not only
that taxes have been boosted by the
present administration, but, indirectly,
that it is responsible for every taxa
ton i'll with which they hold the state
to be afflicted

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-12-06

But what of Wisconsin, the great
state of which Milwaukee is the nigh
ty metropolis?
THE WISCONSIN NEWS has time
and again called attention, with facts
and figures, to the tremendous resour
ces, achievements and opportunities
of the Badger state, yet no reader
need be told that throughout this pros
porous and record-making common
wealth the "l1nocker" is as active as
he once was in Milwaukee.
This past year has been one OF the
worst of ALL
Not only through the press, but in
the public forum, picture of this
state has been broadcasted to the ma
ton as FALSE and SLANDEROUS as
any ever drawn of Milwaukee.
Whatever the inspiration of that
picture-whether inspired by selfhood
politics or mere ignorance-it is as
DISGRACEFUL as 1t is HARMFUL
to the people of this state.
This editorial is written to expose
the falsehood Of this, propaganda and
to focus attention on its dangers.
It is written in the hope that the
rank and file of Wisconsin's enlighten
ed and loyal citizenship may wake up
to the insidious, undermining influ-
ence of this "knocker" policy, and
join hands in a GREAT, COMMON
POLICY OF BOOSTING. which the
character and record of Wisconsin
so richly merits and so justly needs.

But worse even than these misre-
presenta lions has been the out and
cut FABRICATION of a. story that the
Warner Company would quit Wiscon-
sin to set up 500 hand plant in Illi-
nois-a tale purveyed both by adver-
tisement and fake news item, and
which has been branded as WHOLLY
FALSE.
Of like character was the recent re-
port, carried by certain newspapers,
that the American Can Co, had looked
over the situation in Wisconsin with
the view of opening a large manufac-
turing branch in the state, but had
found the prospect too discouraging.
That mares nest, too, has been en-
phatically EXPLODED by the presi-
dent Of the company.
Indeed, so widespread, reckless and
manufactured has this sort of propa-
ganda become, SO varied are its
sources and mediums, that there is
ground for suspecting an ORGANIZED
and WELL-FINANCED AGENCY be-
hind this ruthless effort to blacken
the state for the benefit of certain
selfish interests.

Knock Out the Knockers Gays the
Wisconsin News Full Page Editorial
High Time for Constructive Booster Campaign to Down
Their False and Dsoyal Claims That Give
Black Eye to this Great State

This newspaper believes in BOOST
ING as one of the most potent stimu-
Iants of PROGRESS.
Not boosting" that is mere brag-
CART Boosting, but the CONSTR NC
TIVE kind that publishes, emphasizes
and exploits the demonstrable adyan-
tages and achievements that distin-
guish the community.
Conversely, we hold that knock
ing" the degenerate, sinister offspring
of legitimate criticism, is a DESTRUC-
TIVE force and a DETERRENT of
progress.
In this belief THE WISCONSIN
NEWS has sought to serve Milwaukee
This city has had more than its
share of .knockers" WITHIN whe
were willing to give aid and comfort
to the knockers without. But worse,
perhaps, even than this civic disloyal-
ty has been the IGNORANCE and
APATHY a all to many citizens
about the real greatness of Milwaukee.
We have tried to counterfeit and
correct that spirit For several years,
now, we have published, both at home
and abroad, in season and out, the
FACTS about Milwaukees TRUE
SPIRIT and her MIGHTY ACHIEVE
MENT.
Thanks to the cooperation of enter
prising civic bodies, of the schools
and of thousands of enlightened citi-
zens, this effort has met with meas
urable success.
Not that the need for it has passed
by any means; nor that Milwaukee is
yet "sold" for her TRUE WORTH to
the nation, to the state or even to
her own people; but that many of
the false impressions created by igno-
rant and vindictive knocking" have
been largely effaced.
