THE HOTEL CHECK PROBLEM.
A Question of Whether to Offend

A Question of Whether to Offend
Guests or Risk Losing Money.
The hotel clerk was standing behind
the desk with a disconsolate look on
his face.
Whats the matter?" asked
friend.
Matter" said the clerk. Why,
it's the same old story I've been
stuck for another check. This check
business causes us hotel clerks more
trouble than anything else in the
world. There is a general rule in
hotels that no checks shall be cashed,
but very often travellers run short Of
money. 1t is good business policy to
cash these checks when you can be
such that they're all right. No hotel
can afford to be continually offending
guests. At the same time if a clerk
Cashes a bad check he has TO stand
the loss.
The hotel clerk has learned by
bitter experience to be pretty good
Judge of human nature, but every now
and then he slips up. Only a week
ago a big splendid looking fellow
came to me and got me to cash q
check for 500. l sized him up and de-
Cided that he was all right and that he
was good man to keep among the
steady patrons of the hotel A few
days later, back came the check with
no funds marked across it. The re-
suit was that was out 500"
While the clerk was talking a swag-
ger-looring woman came up to the
desk and smiling sweetly at the clerk,
said:
will you please cash this little
check?"
The clerk was all graciousness. He
took the check and examined it care
fully without saying anything.
"Oh, it's all right" said the woman
of course if you don't want to cash
it you needn't Nh So-and-So knows
me quite we'll and you can telephone
him about it if you want to, but it
would save me great deal of trouble
if you would cash it for me now"
Certainly. madam" said the clerk,
and he went over and held a consulta-
ton with the cashier.
They decided that the woman was
good investment and gave her the
money. She went away smiling, and
then the clerk said
Now, there is just about an even
money chance. If | hadn't cashed
that check she would have been high
ly insulted and would have talked
about this hotel as long as she could
will be a good customer, but if she
isn't l am out another twenty-five.

Madison, March Ex-Governor La
Toilette sent his first veto to the
legislature when he returned to the
senate the bill eXempting from taxa
ton the grounds and buildings of the
Milwaukee industrial exposition In
his message the governor says: My
reasons for returning the bill are that
in my judgment its provisions are in
conflict with that portion of the con
stitution which prohibits the legisia-
ure from enaCting any special legisa-
ton or private laws for the assessment
or collection of taxes" Senator
O'NeiPs bill providing for one woman
member on the board of normal
regents was passed and Senator
Miller's bill designed to confer the
title of colonel upon Capt. Curtis, in
structor in military science at the
university, was also passed. Senator
Whitehead's bill prohibiting the dock
ing of horses was likewise passed.
An assembly bill was concurred in ad-
hitting deformed children to the
Sparta state school Mr.. Spratts bin
to pension members of police and fire
departments was sent back to com.
mittee. After one of the bitterest
fights in the history of Wisconsin
politics, the primary election bill
passed the assembly. Closing a CON
test consuming the entire week and
involving the use by both sides of the
most desperate methods known to
parliamentary practice, it passed by a
vote OF 81 to As or a majority of three.
One man, Assemblyman Esau of Mil
waukee, was brought from a sick bed,
and Assemblyman Herman Miller of
Marathon, was brought from the
death-bed of his son to vote against
the measure. 1t was announced from
the floor of the house that Mr. Miller
had postponed the funeral of his son
one day in order to vote mo" on this
important question. The debate was
long and intereting inasmuch as the
principal speech for the bill was made
by Assemblyman Cady of Wood who
was supposed to be against it until a
few days ago, and that he should
lead the discussion for the measure
was a great surprise. E Ray
Stevens, author of the measure, ex-
planned its provisions at great length.
Mr. McCabe, a democratic member
from Milwaukee, said he was not op-
posing the measure on partisan
grounds but because he wanted to
satisfy his own conscience. Then he
began an effort which involved some
OF the shrewdest parliamentary
practice ever seen on the floor of the
assembly, to have the bill so amended
that II would be submitted to vote
OF the people for ratification at the
next election. In this he was baffled

In the senate an assembly bill was
concurred in providing for the
separate assessment of lands and the
buildings and improvements thereon.
Madisn, March 21.-After sharp
debate the senate voted to kill Sena-
tor MilIer's bill which gave the COVER
nor power to confer the title of colonel
upon the instructors in military
science at the university and other
colleges of the state Also the bill
giving fraternities sites for chap
ter houses on the university grounds.
The assembly devoted itself largely
to franchises, the apportionment and
bridgcs-the last a matter of no gen
eral importance, the others of really
vast moment. The owen bill giving
common councils and village trustees
the power to alter franchises hereto
fore or hereafter granted and to fix
rates. tolls, etc, or street railways,
gas, electricity and water, produced
from Mr.. Keene a tiowery speech in
opposition in which it was. asserted
that such a law would be unconstitu-
tional as in violation of contracts. MI.
David Evans declared a statute of this
kind would unsettle vlues and ruin
the market for bonds. Mr.. Owen spoke
at length in support of the bill, insist
ing that the constitution expressly re-
serves to The Legislature the right to
alter franchises. The bill was killed,
So to %. Another matter debated az
some length was the assembly appor-
tionment bill. Mr.. Krumrey, repre-
senting Sheboygan county which loses
one district under the new deal, OPP
poses consideration at present on the
ground that the whole apportionment
senate and assembly, should properly
be passed upon at the same time. He
made a motion for delay which was
negatived &C to 30, then the bill was
ordered engrossed. seemingly very
innocent bill introduced by Mr.. Babb
caused half hours debate. The
measure, while general, is neverthe-
less calculated to legalize the specific
act of the electors of the town of
Redwood in Richland county in vot.
ing $4,000 of bonds for building a
$4,000 bridge over the Wisconsin
river Mr.. Sturdevant deemed this
wholesale business of legalizing Illegal
acts as dangerous, but Messrs. Orion,
Cady, Babb and Rossman justified the
act and the bill was ordered engrossed.
Among the house bills passed were

Allison Gives Notice of Calling Up
the Appropriation Bills.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The
Republican committee on order
of business in the Senate is to meet
today to consider what course TO pur-
sue in reference TO the pending ship
ping bill and other legislation. The an
nouncement in the Senate by Senator
Allison that he would cali W the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
on Monday indicated that he would
displace the shipping bill with appro-
priation bills. This is what the op-
ponents OF the shipping bill desire. 1t
has been suggested that Republican
caucus should be held to develop
whether it is true, as claimed, that
number of Republican Senators are
opposed to the shipping bill. but it is
not fully decided upon. Opposition to
an extra session of Congress is becom-
ing pronounced among Republican
Senators.
