quette University at Milwaukee. and
Mr. Chisholm, who has been at ]. F.

State Taxes Doubled
in Four Years
Cost of Highways and Bridges Main
Reason for Increase in Taxes in
the Past Four Years.

Taxes in Wisconsin have practically
doubled in the last four years accord
ing to a statement issued by the state
tax commission. Total receipts in
1918 were $92,959,793 and in 1922
a total of $179,18l,0S9 was
collected.
The cost of highways and bridges
showed the biggest jump in the four
year period, $19,S5S,52S in 1918 TO
$50. ,23l in 1920. Of the total
of $l70,lS1, 0S9 in taxes in 1922 only
S35,138,344 was due to state ex-
penditures. The state, itself, spent
$IS,220,663 in 1918 in the four
year period. State expenses in
creased 92.S7 per cent whil5 county
expenses increased 1853 per cent.
Cost of school increased 174.40 per
cent The cost of highways and
gridges increased from $19,S5S,582
in 1918 to $50, ,231 in 1922, an
icrease Of 1866 per cent.
The rapid increase of highway ex-
penditures is cause for differences
between Governor Blaine and the
state highway commission. The
governor is demanding that re-
trenchment policy be followed during
the period Of depression.

WISCONSIN MARRIAGES IN.
CREASED LAST YEAR
Gain of 2Os Over the Total for 1922;
Still Below Eight-year Record
Preceding 1922.

Madison--A rise in the number of
marriages contracted in Wisconsin
in 1928 is disclosed in tabulations
just completed by statisticians in the
offices of the state board of health.
The gain over the year 1922 was POS,
but the total is still well below that
recorded in any of the eight years
preceding 1922 with the exception of
1918. Economic conditions usually
are ascribed for such declines.
The marriage total for 1928, re
presenting marriage rate of 1870
(per thousand estimated population).
This rate is the same as that of 1922,
the slight increase in estimated pop
ulation acting to preserve the rate at
the same level
OF last years marriages, seven of
the parties were under 10 years of
age. In the age period of 20 to "a
wears were found the largest group,
1856 brides and $3.50 grooms
marrying at those ages Three
persons over 80 years of age essayed
marriage, and 218 grooms and 90
brides were between the age so and
70.
The figures show further that of
the grooms 1866 were widowed and
346 divorced, and of the brides l,l88
were widowed and 800 divorced. In
14,779 marriages both parties were
native born.
The highest marriage rate in the
state was found in Wood county, be-
ing 1913, and Milwaukee enjoyed the
second highest, with 1877. The
lowest was in Burnett county, 80.
Other low rates were Bayfield,, AS;
Jackson, Al; Florence, 40; Forest,
So.

frame six Hurley men travelled
around the bases, which, together

ideals of service in the various de

Keeping the state service clean
and effective and the great highway
enterprise out of politics is only
