Wisconsin Farmers
Favor Gas Tax
Survey Made by Wisconsin Farm
Bureau Association Shows Soil
Tillers Want 1t.

Wisconsin farmers over
whelmingly favor enactment of a
gasoline tax measure by the state
legislature, judging from results Of
survey made by the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau Federation and an
nounced here today The report
states that 81 per cent of the more
than $4,000 farmers answering
qucstionaires favored the gasoline
tax.
4 total of 36,904 farmers express
ed themselves as favoring such a tax
and 6,i66 opposed it, The review
represents all but three counties Of
the state, reports failing to come
from Crawford Milwaukee and
Richland counties.
Resolutions also have been re-
ceved from more than 400 town

boards which are favorable to the
tax, l. NJ Wright, state secretary,
declared.
The survey was undertaken as re-
suit of the question of the stand Of

Hurley Trims Superior
City Police Team
Pitchers Battle, Replete With Thrills,
Goes to Hurley by Score
of 2 to 0.

Hurley defeated the Superior city
police team Sunday by the score of
to 0 in one of the best games of the
season.
1t was pitchers battle and with
both beavers getting the best of
support it was a real baseball treat.
But one error was chalked up and
that came when a Superior man
made a bad throw.
Eberhart was on the mound for
the visitors and lived up to his
reputation of being a classy HEAVIER,
allowing but five hits. Lefty
Hoeft for Hurley was never in better
form and surprised even his most
ardent admirers with the way he
moved down the visiting batsmen.
And he did not ease up any as the
game went along, for in the last four
innings he retired them in one, two,
three order, but twelve men facing
him in the four innings. Three hits
was all that the visitors got.
Hurley made their runs early in
the game, getting the first one in the
second inning on walk, hit and
two sacrifices. Hurley played a
hit-and-run-game, sacrifices being
the system adopted as the offensive.
They worked the stunt again in the
third inning and chalked up the
second run.
Superior never got in on the
scoring, although in the ninth frame
it looked as though they would stave
off shut-out when a long fly was
knocked to left field. 1t looked
good for a couple Of bases. Pappio
playing that position staged one of
the thrills of the game. Running
back to the boards he stopped the
ball with one hand and although the
ball bounced out Of his glove he re-
covered it before it struck the
ground, thus spelling the visitors
best chance of scoring.
The Superior team is nifty az
gregation and is probably the
fastest outfit that has tangled with
Hurley this season. To Hoeft's
good pitching and the errorless
support accorded him goes the credit
for stopping Superior. The local
players fielded every chance, made
thrilling stops and shoestring catches
and were right on their toes all
the time.
The game deserved a larger at
tendance, for it was real exhibition
of the national pastime, one of those
poppy affairs that tickles the innards
of the American baseball fan.

Levitan Campaigns
For Reelection
State Treasure Starts Speechmaking
and Declares He viii Run on
His Past Record.

Solomon Levitan, state treasurer.
who has filed for reelection. opened
his campaign at Dodgeville Monday
and in his first campaign speech
declared that the handling of the
peoples money is not a matter for
politics, that it is a task demanding
efficient business methods and
sound business economy.
1.-Two years ago." said Mr.. Levitan,
II came to you a stranger asking
only that | be given the opportunity
TO prove that the state treasurer's
office could be freed from politics
and administered for the good of the
people Today come to you TO
give an account of my stewardship.
In two short years the state
treasurer's office has been trans
formed from plaything of politics
to an institution of Service to the
people. Anticipated methods that
had not been changed for 40 years
have been replaced by efficient
business methods of today. Useless
red tape has been eliminated; need
less expense has been done away
with, with the result that thousands
of dollars have been saved to the
state. Not content with that, we
have undertaken work which had
been neglected by the previous
treasurer for years and have
succeeded in bringing into the
treasury thousands of dollars in past
due license fees and back taxes which
otherwise would have been lost to
the state.
Furthermore we have placed the
surplus funds of the state back into
the many country banks of the state
so that the farmers and those who
needed the money might be able to
borrow what they needed to tide
themselves over the depression In
stead of sending millions Of the
taxpayers money out Of the state in
outside investments as had been the
practice of the previous administra-
ton we have put the money to work
here at home in our own state We
have placed it where it was most
needed
IL have tried to administer the
peoples money for the good of Wis
consin's people and it is on that
record that | come to you asking for
reelection that / may continue the
good work | have begun"
