Knowles, Warren P MARY SATHER INTERVIEW WITH WARREN P. KNOWLES MS: Today we have a much honored guest; this is Warren P. Knowles, former Governor Knowles. We are conducting this interview at Warren's brother's, the late Robert Knowles, and Mrs. Lucille Knowles. The address is Route 2, Box 9, New Richmond. The setting is just above the "ne1v holes 11 of the golf course. We are in a beautiful setting of pines and is one of the move lovely homes in New Richmond. Directly south of here is Hiway 64. Let's talk about your background. What is your address and what are you doing? WPK: I am in Milwaukee and have been since 1971 when I retired as governor & I am living at 3039 E. Newport Avenue and have since I moved from Madison. At present, I am Chairman and President of Newton Funds, an investment fund firm in Milwaukee which has growth equity funds. I have been in that position since August 1, 1985. My work address is 3030 Kilbourn, 2 East Plaza and I occupy an office on Suite 1150. MS: The date today is 12/27/85 and Warren is spending Christmas with Lucille and her family. Do you like Milwaukee? WPK: Very much. Having been born in northwestern Wisconsin, it was a change for me to move into a metropolitan area but Milwaukee is a city of villages, 16-20 villages and it is a small town which has grown into a megalopolis. MS: One of the reasons you have settled in Milwaukee is because you spent a great deal of time in the southern part of the state because you were governor. Let's review that history. WPK: I was born in River Falls on August 19, 1908, and I lived there with my parents. In 1926 I graduated from high school and was president of my class and participated in a great many sports. We had basketball, football, baseball track and chorus. My father was Warren P. Knowles and he was born in River Falls. His father was Warren P. Knowles and his grandfather was Warren P. Knowles who was born in New Hampshire but moved to Wisconsin in 1837. His father was a captain in the Civil War, Warren P. Knowles II, and he died when he was very young. My father died in 1939 at the age of 60. He had been elected County Judge of St. Croix County and held that position for 25 years, prior to his death. My mother was a daughter of Dennis Dineen, & Anna Dineen, of Irish descent. Dennis was born in County Cork and Anna was born in County Wicklow. They came to the U.S. via Canada and settled in Hammond, WI where Dennis ran a country store and became postmaster in 1932 when Roosevelt was elected. They were Catholic and my mother grew up in River Falls where her father had sent her for an education. They had a good normal school and my mother and aunt, Mae Doar (Mrs. w. T. Sr.) both graduated from the normal school at River Falls. 2 MS; Were they the only two children in the family? WPK: They had another sister named Lottie and 4 brothers: Andrew, Emmett, Dennis and John. I knew all of them during the time I was growing up. My grandfather was a patriarch and active in the Democratic Party and active in forming the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, an insurance company. I later went to school at Carleton in Northfield, MN and graduated in 1930. I was president of my class and played football. MS: You were into politics early. WPK: I never really aspired to a political career. MS: Are you Warren P. Knowles IV? WPK: Yes, my middle name is Perley, which undoubtedly was a family name. You can trace it to the New Hampshire people of English descent. My father was Welch and English and he always told me that Peregrine White was my 42nd cousin who was the first white child born on the Mayflower. So I am I have traced it back and did have relatives who came over on the Mayflower so I 1 m entitled to be a member of the Mayflower Society. I have tried to trace the descent of the Perley 1 s. All they find is that it was a family name. My brother has a son whose name is Warren and I insisted he be Warren Patrick rather than Perley, and his son is Warren Paul so it is a succession of the WPK name. MS: The grandfather from the East, did he come directly here? WPK: In the Knowles family he went directly to Hudson and worked in a quarry outside of Wilson and was a mason by profession. He came here and started building and located in River Falls in 1840 and lived there. MS: Does family history indicate why he left the East? WPK: I think it was at the time that everyone was going West. The records at Gilmanton, N.H. were burned and there is no record on that phase. I tried to get a secretary in the governor 1 s office there to help me and she said once, 11 Mr -"nw1ps_ vou know that Gilmanton, NH was often referred to as Peyton Place and I wonder if you want me to go on with this. 11 I almost let it go. MS: So, your mother Anna & Warren Knowles met in River Falls? WPK: They were married in 1906 in River Falls. My father had never studied law except in the office of a man named Ferris White who was the renowned lawyer and he passed the bar and practiced law from 1906 until he died in 1939 at age 60. 3 I graduated from Carleton and these were very trying years. 1929 was the stock market crash. I then went to the University of Wisconsin and then was totally on my own in getting through the University and I graduated in 1933 and I had intended to practice with my father who had a partner named Doolittle. They had gotten a lot of notoriety from a partnership called"Know-Less and Do-Little". In 1933 my uncle Tom Doar had married my aunt Mae and he had a good practice in New Richmond. He had a man working for him named Ed Casey, a local boy who had studied law and was working in the office and he contracted osteomyelitis and they took off his leg and he died. I graduated in June, 1933 and my uncle called and he was up against it. He had no one in the office and asked if I would be interested in practicing with him. I talked it over with my father and he and Tom Doar were very close and he suggested it would be good for me to have the diversity of that kind of law and also Mr. Doar had an outstanding trial practice. So I came to New Richmond in 1933 and I made $50/month for the first 6 months. I lived at Ernie Bell's resident on West 6th St., paid $5/week for my room and I ate most of my meals at Paul Albrightson's for about a dollar a day so I had about $15 a month to spend. I bought a car from Joye Johnson and paid $750 for the car and I paid it up over the years. It was a new car and I was flying high. I stayed with Mr. Doar until 1941 when I was elected to the state senate. During that time when I was in New Richm,ond I was elected to the County Board after a fellow named Will Burroughs,who ran a woodworking shop, died and he had been on the Board. Carl Friday had run against him and Mr. Burroughs said, "Mr. Friday can take as many vacations as he wants but the only vacation I get is when I go down to the County Board." Obviously he won. He died in office and John Van Meter was Mayor of New Richmond and he asked me if I would succeed him on County Board and from that time on, I had some interest in politics. I enjoyed my 6 years on County Board. Jim Frawley was chairman and Frank Van Someron. Jim Frawley was a long-time County Board member who was a powerhouse. He was chairman of the Hiway Committee and there were about 30 members on the County Board then. Anyway, in 1940, Kenneth White was the senator from the Tenth Senate District which comprised St. Croix, Pierce, Pepin and Buffalo counties and he came to me and said, "You've had some experience and I think you should run for my seat because I am going to be called into active duty. He was a Commandant in the Nat'l Guards. I ran for office and he also had told 5 other fellows the same thing, so I had Fred LaGrandeur, Carl Simonson, Grover Brockland and someone else running from every county. I won the primary and later on, the general election and took office on January 1, 1941 and served in the state senate from 1941 to 1955, ran for lieutenant governor in 1954 at the request of Walter Kohler who was then governor and entering his third term and I had been his nominator and then his state chairman in 1950, 1952, and 1954 and he asked me to run. During the period of 1940 - 1954 I was an active participant in the legislative process in Wisconsin 4 and had gained somewhat state-wide recognition.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    Earth Day 1970-1995: An Information Perspective Fred Stoss <[email protected]> Energy, Environment, and Resources Center, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37932, USA. TEL: 615- 675-9510. "Earth Day is a commitment to make life better, not just bigger and faster; to provide real rather than rhetorical solutions. It is a day to re-examine the ethic of individual progress at mankind's expense. It is a day to challenge the corporate and government leaders who promise change, but who shortchange the necessary programs. It is a day for looking beyond tomorrow. April 22 seeks a future worth living. April 22 seeks a future." Environmental Teach-In Advertisement New York Times January 18, 1970 (1) The celebratory event known as "Earth Day," created in 1969 and 1970, found its initial inspiration in the 1950s and 1960s, decades marked by tremendous social and cultural awareness, times of activism and change. One cultural concept around which millions of people began to rally was the environment. The legacy of environmental thought in the decades prior to the first Earth Day gave birth to the event in 1970. A body of environmental literature emerged in the United States which traced its roots to the colonial and post-Revolutionary War periods. The writings of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and George Perkins in the latter half of the 19th and in the 20th century stimulated and created a philosophy and ethic for the environment and concerns for nature and the wilderness. The "birth" of the contemporary environmental movement began with the 1949 publication of Aldo Leopold's SAND COUNTRY ALMANAC, considered by many to be one of the most important books on conservation.

To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, PO Box 1866, Mountain View, CA 94042, USA. he Wisconsin Constitution grants the governor the power to veto legislation.1 The governor can veto any bill in its entirety and any appropriation bill in part.2 The veto power provides the governor with a key role in the legislative process, Tone that allows the governor to check and contain the legislature’s lawmaking power. The governor’s veto power, however, is not absolute. Although the governor may veto legislation, the legislature may override a veto by a two-thirds supermajority vote. Just as the legislature’s lawmaking power is a qualified power subject to veto, the governor’s veto power is a qualified power subject to legislative override. This paper examines the legislature’s power to override executive vetoes. The paper describes the legislature’s veto override power, charts the veto override process, and dis- cusses the history of veto overrides. The paper finds that even though the legislature’s veto override power is potentially a significant limitation on the governor’s veto power, the failure of the legislature to override vetoes in recent decades has made the governor’s veto power practically invincible.

AT A LOSS: THE STATE OF WISCONSIN AFTER EIGHT YEARS WITHOUT THE PUBLIC INTERVENOR'S OFFICE JODI HABUSH SINYKIN* I. INTRODUCTION In the years since its elimination in 1995, citizens and state officials have made a concerted effort to restore the Wisconsin Public Intervenor's Office ("the Office"). The Office was a state entity created in 1967 by Republican Governor Warren P. Knowles to protect public rights in the state's natural resources and to ensure fair play and due process for matters of environmental concern. With every passing year since the Office's demise, the base of citizen and political support for its restoration has only grown larger. The 2003 Assembly Bill 46, seeking the reinstatement of a Public Intervenor's Office with all of the authority and powers possessed by the Office prior to 1995, represents the most current legislative effort in this respect.

  • Angela Cannon a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of The
    VISIONARIES IN WISCONSIN'S CONSERVATION HISTORY by Angela Cannon A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE College of Natural Resources UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Stevens Point, Wisconsin December 1993 APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE COMMITTEE OF: r. ichael Gross, Committee Chairman Profes or of Environmental Education/Interpretation Dr. Christine Thomas Professor of Natural Resources Dr. arl Spangenb Professor of Natural Resources and President of the Wisconsin Conseivation Hall of Fame. 11 ABSTRACT Throughout American history, Wisconsin has pioneered new ideas and progressive steps toward the conservation of natural resources. For example; Wisconsin set precedent for the first rural zoning law, was the first state in the nation to ban the use of DDT, and has set standards for some of the most stringent groundwater and ozone layer protection legislation in the United States. These progressive programs and accomplishments have come about through the efforts of Wisconsin's citizens - many of them leaders in the conservation and environmental movement. These individuals have demonstrated great wisdom, perseverance and vision regarding quality of life and quality of the environment in this state and the nation. This thesis examines the conservation history in the state with a separate compendium of significant dates and events. A contemporary definition for the term "conservation" was created by the researcher using responses from the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame Board of Directors and Board of Governors in a modified Delphi-Panel survey. 18 short biographies on the Inductees in the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame located in Stevens Point, form the final accumulation of this research into Wisconsin's conservation and environmental history of the last 150 years.
