BILLS PASSED.
The wide wagon tire bill of Repre-
| sentative Boxrud provoked some de-
bate when put upon its passage. Sen
| ator Yale opposed the bill. The bill al
lowed a reduction of 81 upon the road
/, tax to persons using the wide tire
| wagon. Senator Heneman thought
| farmers knew as much about the sub
! Ject under consideration as a lawyer.
His experience taught him that a wide
| tire makes and narrow tire breaks
| a road. Senators Greer and Iltis ia
| Vored the bill. Senator Yale said that
he had an experience of fifteen years
| as farmer and had found an advant-
| age in using the wide tire wagon. but
| he did not see the force of an argu-
ment in favor of hiring farmer to
use the best wagon. He believed that
| the farmers are sensible enough to use
| the better plows and wagons without
| being hired to do so. The bill passed
