Costs (Continued from Page 1) tween one-sixth and one-seventh of the total disbursements of made during fiscal years ending in 1930 by all units of government in Wisconsin.

The 1930 disbursements of all Wisconsin units of government were 892 greater than In 1929, with $5,621,641 of this amount represented by increased disbursements of the state government under Kohler's administration. These figures compiled from the actual records of the state by statls-tirlarfs in the Wisconsin tax commission show recent statements by tax propagandists that Kohler kept government costs and taxes down to have been false. i Increases in disbursements by the state government in 1930 over those of 1929 were almost cntnely for highways and bridges, while the expenditures by the state for educational purposes were slightly reduced. General state government costs increased from $2,504,945 in 1929 to $2,946,066 under Kohler. City Funds Decrease Wisconsin cities in 1930 had their receipts reduced from $80,333,987 in 1929 to $77,078,818 In 1930, while they cut their disbursements from in 1929 to $77,408,536 in 1930.

Receipts of counties mounted from $52,196,147 In 1929 to $59,326,136 in 1930, and bursement? increased from $56,623,138 In 1929 to in 1930. Villages had receipts of 1929 and $6,216 879 in 1930 and spent $5,776,357 in 1929 and in 1930. Towns received $16 880,569 in 1929 and $18,739,949 in 1930 and spent $16 853,094 in 1929 and $18 498,790 in 1930. School districts In 1929 had receipts of $47,850,408 and in 1930 of $46,484,794, disbursing $56,411,767 in 1929 and $57,569,207 in 1930. School Expenses Up School districts thus spent almost $15,000,000 more in the fiscal year ending in 1930 than the state government spent for all purposes and also expended considerably more than receipts, borrowing $7,132,243 In 1929 and $6 478.399 in 1930.

For all divisions of government expenditures for general government in-cieased about highway and bridge costs were reduced about $400 000; education costs mounted and expenditures for public industries increased $1,500,000 from 1929 to 1930. In the county governments comparison of the two years shows a decrease in highway expenditures, a $750,000 increase for recreation, and an increase of $3,000,000 in the cost of general government. Cities reduced expenditures for highwajs and bridges $4,500,000, increased casts of general government increased recreation costs increased public industries and reduced debt and interest payments $3,000,000. Villages reduced debt and interest payments slightly, increased general government costs, reduced expenditures for highways and bridges, and increased the cost of public industries.

Cook Socialists to Have County Ticket in Race The Wisconsin state fire fund at the present time has a surplus of nearly $3,000,000 reduced to the market value of securities as of Dec. 31, 1931, in which the surplus Is invested.

H. Mortensen, state insurance commissioner, announced today. Mr. Mortensen issued a statement concerning the fire fund as a reply to criticisms made of it at the recent meeting in Oshkosh of the Wisconsin State Association of Insurance Agents. Answers Propaganda At the Osrucosh meeting "the usual propaganda was evident in an attempt to corn ey to the public a misleading idea of the soundness and practicability of the fund," Mr.

Mortensen itd. At this time the state fund after charging off for investment depreciation, which most stock companies have not done, has a larger surplus In proportion to Insurance in force than any company writing fire insurance in Wisconsin." Moneys in the state fire fund ana other state trust funds are Invested by. Albert W. Trathen. director for th state annuity and Investment board, it was recently revealed that out of $11,000,000 invested in securities bv Trathen, only $30,000 had defaulted on interest.

During 1931 the state fire fund receded premiums of $191,000, got from lmestment Interest, and had expenses of administration of less than $60,000, and $210,000 was therefore added to the surplus or more than the premiums received. "The association members or anybody else. Mr. Mortensen said, "need have no fear that the reserve has been impaired through the construction of the new state office building or the children's orthopedic hospital. "On the contrary these buildings represent an additional saving to the taxpayers and Justify the plan whereby the insurance premium dollars are kept within the state and diverted to public use.

About $750,000 was taken from the fire fund suiplus by the 1929 and 1931 legislatures to build the two structures. Premiums charged by the state fire fund are 60 per cent of these of private companies A portion of Mr. Mortensena statement follows. "In the 29 years of its existence the experience of the state fire fund Indicates, if we use stock companies rates as a gauge, that only 16 cents of the piemium dollar paid on public buildings would have been returned to the community in payment of losses; the balance of 84 cents of such premium dollar going to agents for commissions and to companies for profits. "The greater number of these companies are from other states, and indeed some of them are from foreign countries.

If this insurance were placed with the state fire fund all the money would remain In Wisconsin, and with the exception of a nominal amount used for the expenses of supervision, would redound to the benefit of the taxpayers. "The state, in maintaing the state fire fund, is following the same procedure that has been for years the policy of large business concerns with scattered lisks. The large number of mutual fire, compensation and casualty insurance companies created by the allied bulsness men of the state were at one time the target for misleading propaganda on the part of come competitors, as is now the state fire fund "State insurance funds are operating In many states while the larger cities, New York. Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit. Boston, St.

Louis, Washington, Providence ard many others have set up funds within their own limits. i "The federal government operates parcel post and registered mail insurant funds, a soldiers and sailor's life insurance fund, a government employes retirement fund and a pension fund for teachers in the District of Columbia, all of which can be operated by the government more economically than by private companies. Wisconsin can furnish fire and tornado Insurance on public buildings at a great saving to the taxpayers. "Why not save the people money? Frat, U.ofW.

He was not only an outstanding lawyer and jurist, but a man with social vision Rnd an Inmate sense of justice that enabled him to render to the people of the state a significant, unusual service. His going is a great loss to the people of Wisconsin as well as to his friends who loved him. GEORGE NELSON, Justice of slate supreme court In the death of Judge Luse I feel a very great personal loss. During my professional days I often appeared before him. In appearing in his court I was ever conscious cf my profound and abiding faith in his Judicial integrity, fairness, and ability.

As time went cn I came to have the highest respect for his court and for him the deepest affection. The nation and the state have sustained, in his untimely passing, the lass of a very eminent judge. JUDGE A. C. IlOPPMANN, circuit court The passing of Judge Luse is a distinct loss to the bench.

He possessed exceptional Judicial qualifications. In addition to being a close student of the law' he had and used rare good judgment in affairs pertaining to the administration of justice. He was highly respected end beloved by the bench and bar of Wisconsin both as a judge and as a citizen. Attorneys and litigants always received the most courteous consideration In his court.

Broderick, state banking superintendent, was acquitted at 2:35 a. m. todayof willful neglect of duty In failing to close the bank of United States sooner than he did. The Jury had been out 15 hours.

The verdict was a climax to an eight weeks trial during which Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who appointed Broderick, testified In his defense. Max D. Steuer, noted attorney, acted as special prosecutor.

Three other indictments are pending 8 gainst Broderick but it was not known whether they will be tried.

Hoover Brands Garners Bill Gigantic Pork (Continued from Page 1) of communities would justify them Not 20 per cent, he said, could be brought to the stage of employment for a year, and only 100,000 men could then be put back to work. It Is apparently expected, he Tsald, "that the cupidity of these towns and sections will demand that their congressmen and aena-.

tors vote for this bill or threaten to penalize them if they fail to join in this squandering of money. I just do not believe that such lack of intelligence or cupidity exists amongst the people of our United States. If that shall prove true then this is not the United States that had the intelligence to frame the constitution of this republic, which fought the war of the Revolution, or the Civil war, or the World w-ar, that it might be forged into the greatest nation of the world. Garner Remains Calm Speaker Garner received word of Mr. Hoover's attack with equanimity, and neither ne nor his Democratic associates showed any Intention of deviating a particle from the program planned for the bill three days of committee hearings next week and house passage right after.

Garner said he was promised strong Republican support also. Sen. Reed, followed the President In denouncing Garner, charging him with willingness to destroy the government's credit in endeavoring to promote his personal prospects. The original list of building projects in the Garner plan is now undergoing extensive overhauling to correct many inaccuracies, frankly admitted and attributed to ha-te in shaping the program. Garner Attacks Hoover Speaker Garner today in a formal statement assailed Pres.

Hoover for his criticism of the relief program and denied that it was "pork barrel legislation. He said that the President's allusion to the proposed public works program in his relief plan as "pork barrel comes with poor grace from one who demanded that congress cooperate with him In passing the Reconstruct tion Finance Corp act. "It would be, Garner added, just as logical to refer to the reconstruction act as a pork barrel for the banks. Insurance companies, railroads and financial institutions of the country, "It is not 'pork barrel nor can any other program which will extend aid in this period of distress be termed as such. Ohio State Loans Trucks To Vet Bonus Army ZANESVILLE, O.

By NEA Service I3ROM the frank deceptions of P. T. Barnum to the tragic misrepresentations of John Hughes Curtis, fake Lindbergh case negotiator, the world always has been ready and willing to be fooled. But never has such a wave of deep resentment been known as that provoked by Curtis admission that the "kidnapers of Charles Augustus Lindbergh with whom he claimed to have dealt, were creations of his Imagination. While the Norfolk shipbuilders hoax recalls the scries of famous hoaxes with which the nation's record is studded, the cruelty which distinguishes his fabrication p'aces it definitely at the head of the list.

The world laughed at Barnum's curious deceptions. It sneered when Dr. Cook was exposed following his famous pole discovery hoax. But when the word was flashed that Curtis had fabricated the "negotiations which were watched with hope and fear by all the world, an unequaled storm of bitter anger broke loose. BARNUM, "Prince of Humbugs, hoaxed the credulous out or $4,000,000 and madp em like it.

His career as a showman began In 1835 when he went barnstorming with "Joice Heth, 161-year-old Negro nurse to George Washington. and he blushed not one lota, when, upon her death, a surgeon declared she could not have been over 80. Barnum's "Feejee Mermaid was another of his early, but piofitable deception. The $3,341 this work of art with monkey and fish drew through the gate in four weeks convinced P. T.

there was gold In gullibility. The American Negro he supplied with strange head of hair and hairy hide and passed off as "Zip-the-What-Is-It?" added' to his fame and bankroll and has Its echo in most every county fair and carnival today. Of such claptrap. Barnum later wrote; The public like a little of it mixed with the great realities which I provide. Ji nfr DR.

FREDERICK A. COOK hied away to Greenland In 1907 on his way to the North Pole. He was unheard from for two years. Then on Sept. 1, 1909, a lonely telegrapher In the remote Shetlands flashed the announcement that caught the morning editions of the whole world.

Cook had reached the pole! Royalty and cheering crowds greeted him on his return. The world was hoarse with shouting when Commodore Peary's true discovery was reported five days later. Then science exposed Cook as a faker. He later was imprisoned in connection with an oil deal. IT was a year after Gertrude Ederle's swim across the English channel In 14 hours and 31 minutes that Dorothy Cochrane Logan staggered ashore at Folkestone and gasped her claim to a record of 13 hours and 20 minutes for the feat.

England's chest went out. Then Dorothy ad mitted she'd crossed in a boat. Ephemeral estates have netted shyster lawyers millions of dollars from hopeful heirs. Title to the very heart of Philadelphia an estate valued at $800 000,000 was the bait held out to catch unsuspecting victims of unscrupulous lawyers in 1921. And two years later 300 heirs of one Charles Christopher Springer saw their hope of getting $500,000,000 out of Wilmington, go glimmering as the claim proved a myth.

EVEN the dead can't rest In peace when hoaxers get to work. In 1926 an enterprising writer by the name of Frank Power announced he had discovered the body of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener in wayside cemetery at Egersund, Norway.

Memorial Day Is Not Mere Holiday. Governor Holds Issuing a Memorial Day proclama tion today, Gov. La Follette declared that "Memorial day has for Americans a deep significance, for It was instituted to honor those who fell in the Civil war. As the events of that war recede into the past whh every new year, Gov.

La Follette wrote, It Is the more important for us to make evident to our children that Memorial day is not a mere holiday but that It should be dedicated anew each year to honor those who meet courageously the challenge of citizenship. Too long have we neglected this lesson even in the milder days and events of peace. We can only transmit it to our children by example, by contributing our best effort to the tasks that confront the nation. A startled world awaited its opening But the casket was empty. In 1835, a New York paper published remarkable discoveries on the moon, made by "Sir John Herschel, at the Cape of Good Hope, with his new and powerful telescope.

Strange creatures the scientist saw something between a human being and an orang-utan with wings like a bat. Scientists lent respectful ears. But the story was written in Brooklyn by Richard Adams Locke. ONLY two years ago, the Cornell Daily Sun set the country chuckling with Its fictitious Hugo N. Frye, "pioneer New York Republican.

Hugo was described as a veteran of the Mexican War who had settled In Elmira and established the Republican party in upstate New York for protection of prosperity and "freedom in the land of the free. Invited to a "sesquicentennial dinner in Hugos honor, Vice President Curtis. Secretary of Labor Davis, Senator Joe Grundy, National Chairman Claudius Huston and other G. O. bigwigs reported their Immense regret they could not attend, but sent fulsome eulogies of Frye to be read at the banquet.

The records show that nothing happened to the hoaxers in this century who gulled the world with strange and fradulent tales. But Curtis was clapped into jail by determined investigators and faces charges of obstructing justice. His arrest put an abrupt end to the most tragic hoax in history. 2 Ft.
