Madison, May 3.-The senate CON-
mittee on privileges and elections IN
troduced bill to amend the present
caucus and convention laws. Its prin-
cipal provisions are to do away with
proxies, to provide for nominations by
d plurality vote instead Of by ma
jority as heretofore, to provide for an
open ballot and to make an aye and no
vote necessary on every question that
comes before conventions. Senator
Mosher's bill authorizing the governor
to put in an electric lighting plant
for the capitol was passed The
senate concurred in the Frost
mortgage bill without discussion or
opposition This is the only taxation
measure of any consequence which
has been been passed at this session
and though it can give no such relief
as the railroad bills framed by the
tax commission, it is thought to be a
step in the right direction by prac-
tically all those interested in tax re-
form. Senator Mills bill reducing
the state oil inspectorsh1p to a
salaried position with pay at 81 500 a
year was passed. Senator O'Neirs
bill providing for a woman factory
inspector was passed % to 2, and
Senator Martins measure for one
woman member of the state board OF
control was ordered to a third read
ing. The Dodge wage exemption bill
sent in from the assembly was killed

bill providing for the appointment Of
a woman factory inspector was adj
vanced to engrossment
The assembly did handsomely by
the university passing a bill carrying
these amounts: For an agricultural
building $150,000, for equipping en-
cheering building $4,000, additional
annual income S21 900. The chief de-
bate Of the day was over Mr.. Ross
mans bill No. 13a, relating to the
taxation of bank stock. The author
made an extended address, showing
| how bank stock largely escapes
taxation and how unjust the present
system is to other taxpayers. He
created a lively diversion by boldly
dealing in personalities, declaring that
Judge Orton's bank was lodging
taxes and that a concern in which AS
Isemblyman Mccormick was interested
was doing the same. Mr.. Orion
denied that bankers were dishonest
and he was grateful for the oppor-
tunity to repel the SANDER uttered
against them. In very plain language
he declared that Mr.. Rossman didn't
know what he was talking about.
The bill was killed, SO 70 81. Mr..
Kern's bill requiring assessors TO
stamp notes was killed SO to IS, a.
though Mr.. Benson declared it to be
in the interest of fuller taxation of
securities which now escaped. Mr.
Cady made motion to reconsider the
vote by which the senate bill had been
honoured in providing special ballot
boxes for women at school elections.
Mr.. Dodge made motion to lay the
motion on the table, and it prevailed
by large majority This action
renders further reconsideration i'm
possible and makes the law GER

Fenelon bill requiring that all beer
be labeled BARLEY beer,' 'erice beer
or corn beer" according to it's make,

preparations of some $4,000 for i'm.

formatory and penal institutions was
ordered engrossed. The house CON-
mittee on agriculture submitted an
For1glnal bill for the creation of live
F stock sanitary board. The senate bill

Madison, May 1.-THE senate re-
fused to concur in the assembly
amendment to the Hagemeister pri-
mary election bill by a vote of II to
II. The bill was messaged over to
the assembly. 1t is claimed that the
assembly will not recede from it's po-
sition, though it has not yet been
decided whether or not there will be
conference committee appointed.
Senator Munson's bill providing that
the commissioner of labor statistics
shall compile and publish the blue
book was passed. Senator Mosher's
providing a state electric lighting
plant for the capitol building and
park was ordered engrossed Among
the bills passed were: appropriating
$4,000 to the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association, and limiting the amount
OF fees and expenses allowed in a con-
test for a seat in the legislature to
$500. The licensing of dogs afforded
Gov. La Toilette a coveted text for
reading the riot act to the assembly.
bill had been passed permitting the
licensing of dogs at from 81 to SO
each, according to sex, and in vetoing
1t the governor said: "The bill pro-
poses to exact license fee of from
one to three dollars from every owner
or keeper of a dog. Residents of
cities and villages can escape payment
OF such tax by ceasing to own or
keep dogs. Upon the farm, however,
the watch dog and shepherd are as
much a necessity as the other do
nestle animals which they protect
and guard, and the license fee would
amount to an increase in taxation.
The fee or tax proposed may not be
esteemed by the legislature serious
burden in itself, but it would add to
burdens borne by a great majority of
the people which are already out of all
proportion to those borne by others
whose influence would seem to be
more potent" Then the legislature
was lectured for not taxing the cor
porations more heavily. By vote of
81 to - the assembly yesterday morn
ing killed the second railroad tax bill.
This measure was drawn by the tax
commission and provided for the ad
valorem tax system, or that railroad
property should be assessed the |
same as all other holdings. There was !
a long debate. A feature Of the |
session was a vigorous and earnest eff |
fort made by Assemblyman Benson |
to secure favorable action or his bill |
for the publication of |
school text books by the state and |
heir sale at cost. Despite sturdy op-
position Mr.. Benson carried the bill
% third reading. Among the meas

Then the house by the same vote
refused to adhere to it's amendment in
favor of applying the primary princi-
pie to city and county officials and
Legislators, with a referendum clause
submitting the primary question to
the people next spring. After con-
siderable sparring over parliamentary
points the Hagemeister substitute was
adopted, 48 to 46. This substitute
merely provides that county officers
shall be chosen under the primary
law and each county is to decide for
itself whether it will operate under
the law. 1t is believed the governor
will veto it.
By vote Of AZ to 81 the assembly
killed the Erickson bill recreating the
state board of immigration. An I'M
successful effort was made by the
members from Sheboygan county,
Messrs. Spratt and Krumrey, to
amend the senatorial apportionment
bill. Mr.. Brunson offered an amend
ment making Senator Burns and
Senator Munson's districts as they
were in the last apportionment. This
was adopted by the assembly and was
almost Immediately concurred in by
the senate. Among the reports was
one from the state affairs committee
recommending non-concurrence in the
Joint resolution passed by the senat
to increase the pay of members of the
legislature to $1,000. The judiciary
committee reported a joint resolution
for constitutional amendment in
creasing the number of supreme court
judges from five to seven.

Pipe Transaction.
From Leslie-s Monthly.
-whi my brother in-law. Mr.. Boyn-
ton. was IN tbs hardware business in
Springfield. LiRcoIn's son. Robert
then a boy of 10 or L.. entered the
store one day with another boy of
his own age The lads had q quantity
of lead pipe which they wished TO sell.
A bargain was made and the money
paid over 20 the boys with no ques-
| tons asked. Later in the day, how
ever. Mr.. Lincoln was visited az his
home by the owner of a house which
was undergoing repairs. and informed
that his son Robert had stolen a guam
tity of lead pipe from the place, and
the owner desired 10 be paid for the
| same or have it returned,
Mr.. Lincoln was shocked. He call
ed Robert. and without asking any
questions took the boy by the arm
and marched him down to the store.
When they entered Mr.. Lincoln was
looking very stern.
Mr.. Boynton. said he, did my son
Robert sell you some lead pipe to-
day.
My brother-inlaw was greatly EN-.
barrassed. Everybody in Springfield
knew Abraham Lincoln His honesty
and integrity never were questioned.
and the idea that his son would steal
was highly improbable. Mr.. Boynton
had, however. been notified in some
manner that the pipe was stolen
property. Nevertheless. he did not
want to implicate the son of Abraham
| Lincoln. so he said:
Ahem, -er-well. Mr.. Lincoln. let
me see. No. don't think it was your
boy who brought that pipe in here
| He don't leok like the boy
There was a tinshop at the rear of
the store and just as my brother-in-
Jaw was congratulating himself that
young Lincoln would get out of the
scrape, the sharp voice of the tin
smith exclaimed:
| Yes. It's. too. That's the chap
that Lincoln boy and another one Of
about his size. l remember EN-
Mr.. Lincoln drew out his pocket
book and laid a bill upon the counter
Please let me have that pipe, Mr.
Boynton, he said.
The pipe was accordingly brought
cut. Mr.. Lincoln placed it across the
boys shoulders. The two then left the
lstore.
1t was an extremely hot day and
Robert Lincoln was barefooted. The
