Three i'm One Family
Down with Smallpox
Health Department Goes Five Days
without Single Report of Con-
tagious Disease Until Friday.

What is declared by Health officers
here to be a record in Kenosha was
established during the past week when
from Sunday to yesterday not one case
of contagious disease was reported to
the city health department. Earlier IN
dications made it look possible to
send a weekly report to the state
health board at Madison giving Keno
sha a clean slate for the week, but
Fridays report spoiled the otherwise
clean record.
Yesterday three cases Of smallpox
were reported in single family living
on the north side of the city. All
three cases could have been avoided,
it was said, if the proper precautions
had been taken. A father and two sons
are stricken. One of the sons noticed
the preliminary symptoms on himself
two weeks ago but no physician was
called. Friday the father and another
brother broke out with smallpox and
today the house is under quarantine.
The weeks report is one of the best
the city has ever turned in to the
state department. 1t was said at the
health Office today that one report for
the week was nothing short of rec
ord here and that similar report had
not been possible in Kenosha for a
long time past. The present cond1-
tions are tribute to the. activities
of the city health officers and show the
first results of their campaign to edu-
catae Kenosha in graduating com1nun-
icable diseases.

Governor Blaine Issues
Formal Proclamation
for Labor Day.
ON BUSINESS BASIS

Governor Blaine today proclaimed
Labor Day. September 1, and requested
that it be generally observed in Wis
consin, according to report from Madi-
son.
"On the character and intelligence
Of the working people Of country
depends in large measure the rank OF
that country among nations" the pro-
clamation declares. place in review
the civilized countries; where labor is
oppressed and facilities for labor,
which are preserving to the laboring
man his independence and self-respect,
those nations are forging ahead and
commanding the respect of the world.
In the United States, the prosperous
and forward looking states are these
where children Of tender age are kept
in school, where the intelligence OF
the working man is respected and his
rights protected.
.Wisconsin Is proud to be in this
group. She is proud Of her working
people. She is proud of their high
rank in intelligence and prosperity,
which she has labored continually to
improve. It is indeed fitting that the
people of the statae jain together to
celebrate this holiday in recognition
of labor's achievements"

Hirst Declares
Figures Juggled
A. r. Hirst Says Blaine's Claim of
Collecting $3,000,O00 Back
Taxes Is Untrue.

Beaver Dam, Wis.--Sharp reduction
in state expenditures is the best way
to reduce taxes now levied in Wiscon-
sin, A. r. Hirst, Republican candidate
for governor said here Sunday, in
which he advocated an immediate re-
duction in taxes.
Mr.. Hirst declared that statements
to the effect that more than three
million dollars in back taxes have been
collected by the state during the past
three years are untrue, saying that
state tax commission records show
that less than a million dollars.
"The statement is being repeated in
this campaign that the present admin
istration in it's first three years has
dug up unpaid income taxes totalling
SO, 234 900. When in Madison last week,
I went into the tax commission and
found that the actual amount was
1911, 492.67. These statistics are Off
cial. AS matter of fact, the total
back income taxes amounted to only
$1,936,442 and the offsets amounted to
1887 1858 and some of the balance has
not been collected.
eve are not going to reduce taxes
to any appreciate extent by digging
up back income taxes, every cent Of
which should be dup up, or by Jug
Cling with the facts and talking about
shifting the burden. We can reduce
them only in one way and this is by
cutting the taxes, by spending less and
levying less"

Candidates Now
Flock to KenOsha
Kenosha to be battle-ground Of last
Week of the Campaign as Two
Candidates Speak Here.

Lieutenant Governor George F. Com
ings, candidate for governor on the
LaFollette Progressive ticket, will
speak here Wednesday evening at Ii
brary park at 7:45 o'clock.
A very bitter battle has developed
between Lieut.. Gov Comings and Gov
ernor Blaine. While the latter has
the official endorsement Of Senator La
Toilette, Mr.. Comings asserts that
the governors record and platform
show that he is not a true La Fol-
lette Progressive.
"No true LaFollette progressive gov
ernor would need an endorsement II
he had a progressive record" said the
lieutenant governor. Il charge that
Governor Blaine, himself, not. the pro-
gressive legislature, was responsible
for the failure to pass the important
progressive measures that were up be-
fore the legislature. have chal-
lenged the governor to debate in public
with me on this charge, but he has
not even peeped."
Il want the opportunity Of proving
to the vast number of voters in this
community that Blaine's record cam
not stand a genuine LaFollette type
Of an investigation, and / intend to
make good that opportunity at Library
park Wednesday evening"
Lieut.. Gov. Comings is only one OF
the candidates who will speak in Ke-
nosha during this last week of the
campaign. Indications are that this
city is to be one of the political bat
fairgrounds for the last week Of the
campaign. Tonight at Germania hall,
Congressman Cooper is to speak and
Tuesday evening at Library park Gov
ernor Blaine will speak here. The vis-
it's Of Blaine and Comings to Kenosha
is the closest that the two have been
heard in the same city in the present
campaign.

HIRST PROMISES
CUT in PAYROLL
Reduction of State Payroll
Advocated by A. r.

GRAHAM IN WI N
tBy Associated Press


Milwaukee. Training, experience
and equipment should be the only
basis for selection of state depart
nent heads, A. r. Hirst, Republican
candidate for governor, declared in an
address here today. Mr.. Hirst pledged
himself to such policy if elected
governor.
Mr.. Hirst also advocated the reduc-
ton Of the state payroll ard other
expenses wherever possible without
affecting needful public service"
He made reference in speaking Of APP
pointments particularly to the tnsur-
ance commissioner, declaring 1T IS a
betrayal of the people to appoint a
man to an important position Of this
character who is wholly lacking IN the
knowledge and qualifications which
are requisite" He said in part:
'The state is the biggest business
institution in Wisconsin. 1t collects
SEE, goo year. Obviously, then,
the state should be conducted on bust
ness 4 so far as the collection and
expendl..., of funds are concerned.
Il propose, should | be elected
governor, to handle the problem Of
state administration as if it were my
private business enterprise. The leg
islature appropppriates the fund and
they are spent by officials. The pay
roll of the university amounts to, in
round numbers, $35o000 month, the
normal schools, 100000, charitable
and penal institutions, 100000 and
other state functions, $250,00O, or a
total of approximately 100000. Where
this payroll can be cut, or employees
reduced, without affecting needful
public service, it sholld and will be
done, if within my power.
SIN the selection of departmental
heads but one thing should be taken
into consideration-trai expert
ence, equipment for POSITIONS; the
best men and women should be select
ed. Instead of selecting departmental
heads because of their ability to at
tract votes, on political consideration,
they should be selected because they
can deliver the goods.
IF an insurance commissioners IS
appointed, he should be appointed be-
cause of his knowledge of the insur-
ance business, coupled with high char

Blaine Upholds
Financial Record
Governor Claims His Administration
Has Accomplished Economies In
State Management.

East Troy, Wis,-Opening the final
week of his campaign for reelection
here today, Governor Blaine upheld
the financial accomplishments of his
administration and reviewed econo-
mics which he said have been accom-
plished.
The governor will spend most
of this week in which is generally con-
sidered antagonistic territory to the
progressive cause. In today's address,
he dealt particularly with state taxes
affe citing Racine and Walworth coun-
ties.
"The state government has lived
within it's normal income" the execu-
tive said. 'sUnder the present admins
tration, there have been no additional
state taxes levied to pay the running
expenses of the state government of
her institutions. Taxes levied in 1920
and paid into the state treasury to
pay the operating expenses of state
government and institutions were ST.
627 900 more than were levied for the
same purposes in the year 1928 and
paid in 1924.
"The tax. levied on homes, farms
and business property toward the sup
port of the university was reduced
$610, 900 in 1923, thereby reducing the
tax on real and personal property in
the state for state purposes $1,115,000.
"All counties in the state, according
to their assessed valuation as com
pared with the total valuation of the
state, paid less into the treasury for
support of state government in 1924
than they paid in 1920"
The governor said that $3,243,000 in
back income taxes have been collected
during his administration, portion
of which has gone to the taxing dis
trfcts.
