BERNHARD GETTELMAN (Rep.) was born Dec. 23, 1889, in
Chicago and moved to Milwaukee at an early age, where he
was educated in the ptiblic schools. He Was the chief
deputy sheriff during the Cudahy riots, and is the father
of the Gettelman Firemen's Law and of a plan to tax chain
stores, having been the first sponsor of this idea in
Wisconsin. Through his efforts, lumber companies have been
compelled to use a more careful method of disposing of
timber on state owned lands. Senator Gettelman is chairman
of the La Follette Bronze Tablet memorial committee and of
the state interim traffic committee which presented safety
recommendations to the 1931 legislature. He was elected to
the Assembly in 1916, and is now serving his fourth
successive term in the Senate.
