McNutt—budget balanced i four years consecutively: no state ’ debt: property tax rate cut 35 .per ! cent; *10,500,000 in the state treasury and 34 per cent of the relief load carried at home without resort to extraordinary federal aid. The Wausau. Wisconsin, Daily, Record-Herald, gained quite a bit ot publicity, some favorable and ' unfavorable comment, when it pub-| lished in its May 29th. issue a re quest to all auto drivers who ex- , pected to get drunk ou Memorial I Day to send their photos and obit uaries to the newspaper office in advance. The editor made his appeal on the grounds that those. who expected to get drunk and then run their cars knew in ad-, vance that they would be killed or badly injured and that it would save his reporters a lot of time in digging up photos and dates. His readers must have taken it to heart. No accidents were reported and no pictures or obits were l furnished. All newspapers might endorse the plan.
