MADISON LETTER.


non-partisan, can say that the present
legislature Is not trying, at least, to full
fill it's promise OF shor. session this
winter.
The past week has been an important
one. probably the most important one
Of the session thus lar.
The joint committee on claims report
ed favorably the general appropriation
bill for the state University. The bill
provides for the appropriation 0.
$l20, 900 annually, for two years, in ad
dition to the present Appropriation to
the university. Chairman Baxter said
that the committee had examined very
carefully the report of the board of
regents, and that they were convinced
that the finances of the institution were
being ably and economically admins
tered. The expenses of the regents
themselves during the past two years
amount TO but 500, and the committee
were entirely convinced that the stories
OF corruption and extravaganza were
wholly untounded. The committee re-
ported the bill unanimously for passage,
making but one amendment thereto,
which amendment provides that at
least $4,000 of the money so apprOpri-
ated shall be expended on the agricul-
tural college. The balance of the mon
cy Is to he used by the regents for in
creased administrative expenditures.
This morning another amendment
reducing the appropriation to about
$50, go for two years was introduced in
the Assembly. The matter has been
made a special order Of business and
will be considered at once. 1t looks as
though the amendment would be killed.
The bill providing for the retirement
of the judges of the Supreme Court on
half pay after having reached the age
Of 8eventy-five and having been on the
bench for fifteen consecutive years was
killed in the Assembly. The bill in
CreasinG the salary OF a Supreme Judge
was also adversely acted upon. though
it was shown that the judges are poorly
paid, and after their retirement from
the bench are frequently almost wholly
without adequate means of support for
themselves and families.
