The senate killed the bill intro
duced by the committee on assess
ment and collection of taxes, limiting
tho amount of money that may be
raised by the one mill school tax.
What the result of this action will be
cannot be told, but the members Of
the tax commission are fearful lest
much trouble will ensue. The COM
mission has said that the great fault
Of the entire system of taxation in
Wisconsin was the failure to assess
property at its full value, and had ex.
nected to insist upon true valuation
Of property by the assessors through
out the state. If this were done, the
commissioners explain, the amount of
money raised under the one mill tax
would be more than doubled, or would
be almost 81 800. 900 more than is now
required by the schools. The bill
which the senate killed limited the
amount which might be raised under
this tax to sS50,0O0. The bill to
abolish tuition fees at the university
for students living in Wisconsin was
passed. The Dodge wage exemption
bill which was killed last week was on
the calendar for reconsideration. The
senate, however, was determined to
stand by its former decision in the
matter and by vote of 16 to II re-
fused to reconsider The bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for improvements
on the capitol building and in the park
was passed. AS was also the measur 2
allowing the state board of agriculture
s25, 900 for improvements on the state
fair grounds. Orton's bill making an
appropriation of $4,000 for monu-
ments in the national park at Shiloh
was advanced to third reading.
In the assembly the governors veto
of the detective license bill was sus-
tanned, sc to Is. Mr.. Karel made an
eloquent speech in favor of spring
shooting, but the assembly negatived
the proposition. The Andrew bill
putting street railways under local
taxation the same as they were prior
to 1895 was advocated by Mr.. Lenroot
who said that he had never yet heard
any valid reason why municipalities
should not have taxing Jurisdiction
over their street railways instead of
the state having that power; but the
bill was killed. The Keene resolution
for n constitutional amendment per-
hitting cities of over rs, 900 population
to vote 50-year bonds was adopted.
The limit is now 30 years. The con-
constitutional proposition to increase
the supreme court from to 7 men,
bers had only votes In the opposi-

Another commission is In prospect,
and al to determine mooted questions
regarding voting by machines. The
