PREPARING
MANY BILLS
RETURNED LEGISLATORS WORK
ING ON MEASURES.
OF SHORT SESSION
SoIons Urged to Get All Important
Bills introduced at an Early Date
New insurance Bill Ready
Speaker Ray VIII Name Commit
tees Tonight.
Madison, Jan. Is.


Many of the members of the legisla-
ture returned to the city yesterday for
the purpose of drawing bills, and the
indications now are that the session
Wednesday morning will see a perfect
food of bills presented in both houses.
All of the committees in each house
will have meetings Wednesday after
noon, and at these sessions the most
important of the measures which have
been introduced during the morning
Will be looked over and preparations
made for hearings on them.
Senator Whitehead has charge of
the drawing of the bills on the subject
of the taxation Of corporations, and it
is his intention to have some of these
measures ready for presentation to
the legislature this week. In fact be-
fore Friday it is hoped there will be a
great many important bills before
both houses. Speaker Ray and other
assembly leaders have been trying to
impress on the assemblymen the nee
essity of having their bills ready soon
and one of the propositions which is
under discussion by the leaders in
both houses is the passage of resolu-
ton this week providing for the shut
ting off of all new business on Feb. /
or not later than Feb. 10.
Just when the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company bill for the
repeal of the Orion law will be pre-
scented to the legislature has not yet
been decided 1t was originally plan
ned to have it come in this week, but
the indications now seem to be that it
will be withheld for several days.
| Speaker Ray is expected to return
today at noon. He will not, however,
announce his committee until this
evenings session. The leading chair
manships are as have been published
and there has been no changes of the
slate in this regard. 1t is stated that
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions is composed of La Toilette sup
porters, so that there can be no doubt
that the primary election law will
come back to this house with a favor
able endorsement.

ON THE RAIL-


Control of the vast interests of the
nations express companies may fail
into the hands of the railroad financial
powers. Preliminary steps toward
such an object are said to have been
taken under the guidance of j. Pier
pont Morgan, James j. Hill and others,
and that the general scheme has been
outlined. The report has it that the
powers intend to conduct the express
business of the country as a regular
department of railroad operation,
strong provisions being made to have
all roads act in harmony. 1t is claimed
to be the intention of the railroad Of
ficers to refuse to renew contracts
with the companies where the remain
ing life of the contracts is not long
and to make outright purchases of
franchises where the contracts still
have long before them. The express
companies have contracts ranging all
the way from five to twenty years and
at the expiration of their legal agree
ments they are at the mercy of the
railroad companies.
Notwithstanding the decision of the
Grand Army not to hold it's encamp-
ment at Denver, the Chicago & North
western railroad has issued notice to
