All but one of the reorganized departments spent more after they were reorganized than they had before.

"The department of agriculture and markets was the biggest joke. You may have difficulty in believing rne, but the four departments that were put together to form this state department are still scattered all over the capitol although supposedly 'consolidated' in 192S, and they still have their old offices where they do as they please. "The chief result of this 'consolidation' was the creation of three new offices commissioners of agriculture and markets paying good salaries and giving the stalwart governor a chance to appoint stalwarts to these and the other new jobs created by the 'reorganizations'. "And this was all done to avoid duplication and expense. "Promise No.

Kohler, republican nominee for governor, did not keep his campaign pledges when he held the office, Mayor A. G. Schmedeman, democratic candidate, charged before a democratic party rally here Wednesday nierht.

"The 'cut-costs-with Kohler' promise of the Hoover-big-busl-ness-utility candidate of the reactionary republican party of Wisconsin is as hypocritical as his stand on utilities' Schmedeman said. Kohler Boosted Costs, Claim He declared that in 1929 and 1930 Kohler as governor had increased state expenditures higher than they had ever before been in any year, and that tax collections were Increased $5,400,000 in the same period. Schmedeman then discussed in detail the 1928 platform of the republican party, which he called "eight and one half pages of pretty sentiments, prettily expressed, and six definite campaign promises." "Promise No. 1. 'We pledge ourselves to conduct the affairs of state government with economy and good business judgment.

The practical way to reduce taxes is to reduce "Now let's see about that promise. The Wisconsin tax commission figures show that in the first year of the Kohler administration total taxes collected by the state government were $47,399,146 or more than the total the previous year. I challenge my Hoover-big-business opponent to deny the accuracy of that official record. "Also, in the first year of his administration as governor the state government cost $41,847,421 or more than in the previous year. "That was promise No.

The state budget system was changed.

(U.R) A reso lution calling upon farmers to de clare a moratorium on tax and mortgage payments has been adopt ed by the National Farmers' Holi day association, it was announced today by the association president, Milo Reno.

"With prices what they are, the farmer can't pay these obligations anyway," said Reno, "so we might just as well be frank about it and admit that payment is impossible." The resolution was adopted at a meeting of state representatives of the holiday association in Sioux City early this week. Reno said nire states were represented. Including also in the resolutions adopted was one declaring the intention of continuing the farm holiday movement "as long as there are farmers who need help" Reno said even if "cost of production prices are obtained, the holiday association will continue to function as a marketing agency." Individual states, according to Reno, will decide the method they will use to hold farm products off the market. "Regional conditions may call for highway picketing in some sections," he said. "In others the best result can be obtained by working directly with the farmers at their homes." U.

W. Regents May Condemn Chappie But Reported Resolution Won't Be Acted on Until After Election There will be no action by the University of Wisconsin regents, at least until well after the No vember election, on a reported resolution condemning John B. Chap pie for attacks upon radical elements in the university, it was indicated today. The regents, in special session here Wednesday to act on the budget, adjourned without taking cognizance of a resolution said to have been prepared by Daniel Grady, La Follette appointee on the board, denouncing the republican nominee for the United States senate. So far as I know," Frank said today, "there is on such resolution now he-fore the reeents." The board does not convene here in regular session again until Dec.

Charles G- Dawes and Parker Gilbert were praised by Dr. Julius Curtius, former German minister of foreign affairs. In a lecture 'Wednesday afternoon in Eascom hall. They "brought the brains and strength of America to bear on economic tasks, at once Europe's and the world's," he declared. "The initiative taken by your government in the matter of disarmament, the passionate demand of the American people for the safeguarding of peace, the pushing through of the idea and the plan for the outlawry of war are factors without which world events cannot be imagined today," he said.

America Tired of Europe "America is somewhat tired of Europe. We Europeans must not deceive ourselves on this point. The present moment cannot and must not lead to an attempt on the part of the Europeans to ask for American help. We are perfectly aware that we ourselves must put our European house in order." But America will cooperate with Europe for selfish reasons. Dr.

Curtius said, pointing out that "a policy of isolation, if it were at all possible, would not be worthy of America's power nor of her dignity." The whole world must find "in common" a relaxation of the existing tensions, of reconstruction world economy and of reaching higher cultural standards, he predicted. "Whether the countries or continents want it or not, their mutual relations, interdependence and penetration into each other are increasing and the exchange of political, economic and cultural experiences and possessions is continuously becoming more powerful and more intense." Europe Trying to Recover European attempts at reconstruction in the field of commercial policy such as preferential duties, triangular agreements, the Layton-Lammers report, the Tardieu plan, the Belgo-Luxemburg-Netherlands convention, the Austro-German customs union show "a strong endeavor to get out of the impasse into which Europe has brought herself in the field of commercial policy," Dr. Curtius averred. Common action on a regional basis in order to reach larger economic units and to formulate an elastic and liberal economic policy was cited as the important thing for Europe. Europe must become economically sound again, and strengthen her buying power, in order to fulfill, not her hegemony which belonged to the past, but her tasks as a continent in cooperation with other continents for the furtherance of mankind in the future." Spirit of Versailles Present Dr.

Curtius reviewed the reasons for the proposed Austo-German customs union and declared "the spirit cf Versailles had not yet disappeared, there were still two different standards and the security-psycho-Bis still continued to keep the idea of solidarity in the background. The policy of might was triumphant over economic reason." In explaining the reasons for the union Dr. Curtius pointed to preferential trade clauses between other nations. He also pointed out that the League of Nations had passed resolutions recommending referential tariffs for grain from south eastern Europe and suggested other measures for selling its agricultural stuffs: that the European Enquiry committee had urged economic that the Tardieu plan of the French government had proposed a plan for the reconstruction of the Danube nations Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Roumania. In commenting upon the treaty of St.

Germain prohibiting Austria to abandon her independence without the consent of the council of the league of nations, Dr. Curtius said: Favors Cnstoms Union "State practice offers no precedent Indicating the incompatibility of customs union and independence. On the contrary, it can as a matter of fact be proved by history that a customs union can actually serve the purpose of enabling a small state to maintain its existence without compelling it to transfuse itself politically into a larger state." The proposed customs union would have been "beneficial to both Germany and Austria," he said.

Candidates Tell Views to Women Voters' League Hears Discussion of Utility Issue The power referendum was the chief issue discussed ednesday night at a dinner meeting of the League of Women Voters.

Mrs. Harold E. Marsh, president, presided. Several political speakers addressed the league. Short discussions on the referendum were given by Fred N.

Mac-Millan in favor of municipal ownership, and by Theodore Case, Milwaukee student at the University of Wisconsin, in opposition. Those who spoke, their parties and candidacies were: Miles C. Riley, democrat; Alvin C. Reis, republican; and Sam Mintz, socialist, all for state senator; Adolph Bie-berstein, democrat, and Francis E. Lamb, republican, assembly from the first district; Mrs.

Louise Pachel, prohibition, for county clerk; Fred T. Finn, re publican, and Theodore Walker, socialist, for sheriff; Fred E. Risser, republican, and Glenn Turner, socialist, for district attorney; W. E. Campbell, for coroner; and Emil Orne, socialist, for register of deeds.

Says Voters Are "Yes" Folk "People, in voting, seem more easily inclined to vote 'yes' than they are to vote declared Case in pointing out why he did not favor municipal ownership of utilities. Tax loads in some communities are at their maximum, he continued, and in order to save property, these communities will have to resort to 'the good old indoor sport of digging into the national treasury. In discussing his candidacy Riley said "our first concern, of course, Is the depression and its consequences, and there is no other party as solicitous of that concern as is the democratic party." Turner Explains Aims There must be direct relief for the depression, he went on, and that must be secured by reduced taxation. The children's code was cited by rope and the world have often received Austria's SOS call. Attempts were often made to come to her assistance.

A number of loans were granted to her. But her real needs, calling for wider opportunities of trade, and economic development outside her narrow borders, were never met at all, or at most in a form which ran counter to her fundamental character." He pointed out that Austria can never be self-supporting; that the customs union would have aided in the restoration of Germany's buying power and "European interests would also be promoted at the same time."

mil ANNOUNCING The Formal Opening of The Approve Plans for First Road Separation Project Set for Racine County Plans for Wisconsin's first highway separation, in Racine county, and for a grade crossing in Waukesha county have been approved by the state highway commission, it was announced today. The Racine project will carry state highway 20 under the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pa-crfie railroad line and under the Howel road running parallel to it. A subway will be built under the railroad and an overhead bridge will carry the Howel road, county trunk over highway 20. The Waukesha overhead grade crosfslng will carry state highway 59 over both the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago, Milwaukee.

St. Paul and Pacific tracks in the southwestern part of Waukesha, Reis as an outstanding issue in the republican party platform. Reviewing the aims of the socialist party, Glenn Turner said, "with socialists, it is not a matter of electing men to office. If we were interested in office, we would now be running on some other ticket." "We are more interested in an intelligent vote than in a large vote; we are more interested in success after the election than we are at the election," he concluded.
