WISCONSIN Legislature.

Madison, April Ex-Governor La
Follette's long looked for message on
the freight commission bill was de-
livered to the legislature. The
message, the third of the session,
deals exhaustively with the question
of railroad freight rates. 1t takes up
every phase of the case and contains
an answer to the arguments advanced
by the railroads, explains the reason
of the opposition to the bill by the
manufacturers of the state, and then
gives tables showing that the freight
rates of Wisconsin are higher than
those of Illinois and Iowa. This done,
he seeks to demonstrate from the
financial reports of the st. Paul rail-
road company that had the earning of
that company been $6,000,0 600 less, the
company could still have paid its stock
dividend, bond interest and operating
expenses, and necessary improve
ments. The senate refused to re-
consider the Superior grain inspection
bill. Senator Hudnall asked favor
able action in a few words but the mo-
ton was lost by the same vote that
killed the bill-17 to Is. Two assembly
bills were passed. COff1and's appro-
priating $4,000 for stock for the ex-
pertinent station, and Finnegan's, ap-
propriating $4,000 annually for the
geological and natural history survey.
In the assembly the senate bill eA-
empting credits from taxation was
killed. Mr.. Root combatted the com
mitee recommendation for postpone
ment, and speaking on the bill said it
was unjust to retired farmers. Mr.
Smalley, with Mr.. Bradford, argued
for the committee, the latter making a
strong argument showing that pas
sage of the bill would remove $73,O00,-
600 from the tax rolls and exempted
the men who were best able to pay
taxes. Mr.. Ray thought the bill was
the Door mans measure. He SAID II
was impossible to find a mortgage on
record made the past year, where pro-
vision was not made for payment OF
tax by the man who gave the mort
gage. Mr.. Dahl said it was prepos-
ferrous idea to exempt all people from
taxation just because some were able
to hide their property and escape.
The bill was then honoured in 81 to
81. Discussion arose over the bill
giving married women the same prop
erty rights as single women but the
assembly refused to pass the bill, 60 to
%. The Merton joint resolution call
ing for a constitutional convention to
provide for election of United States
senators by direct vote then came up

vention of bubonic plague, by a vote
of q to 6. The senate amendment

ton of the bill. The Lang antitrust.

strenuously, was laid over until,
Wednesday. The banking bill was
amended and ordered to third read

aggregate of SS6,644.S2 were passed
or concurred in, as follows: Ap-
propriating $4,000 to the Milwaukee,

ton; 5000 to the state poultry as
sociation; $500 for steel cases for
! the preservation of the battlefags,,
$500 as contingent fund for the
custodian of the Grand Army me-
mortal hall; $40 for A. L. Abraham

! improvements at the state fair
grounds; S1,074 to parties mourning
! expenses in connection with the un-
constitutional Portage levy law, and
| $4,000 for the purchase of stationery
| for the state.
| In the assembly the bill from the
committee on taxation, relating to
property exempt from taxation,
caused discussion. An amendment
| by Mr.. Ray, including in the exemp-
ton of one watch Of a value not to
exceed $50, was adopted. Mr.. Dahl,
who is a jeweler, explained that he
paid a heavier tax on his stock of
watches than the rest OF Douglas
county on the same article. There
fore, he would like to see stocks of
merchandise exempt. A call from
Mr.. Breitwisch, asking all who had
paid tax on their watches to rise,
was answered by some 20. The bilR
was finally ordered to a third reading.
| There occurred quite a debate upon
the senate bill relating to county aid
in building bridges. The Doolittle
amendment, increasing the amount
of aid from one-eighth to one-tenth,
was defeated, and the bill cOncurrel
in, % to 80. The bill which came
from the judiciary committee, provid-
! ing Sr the election of county superin-
! tendents at the spring elections, was
passed The joint resolution applying
to congress to call a constitutional
! convention to submit 9n amendment
to the federal constitution for the
election of senators by popular vote,
was indefinitely postponed. The fol-
! lowing other bills were passed:
Dudgeon's, to provide for securing
| full weights and measures and Rays,
appropriating $500 to the interstate
fair association of La Crosse.

The Congressional Directory says I am eighty-three. Maybe I am but I don't feel that old by forty years have never eaten much gravy. I was raised on a plain diet, and I have lived on 1t all my life. In this day gravy is called sauce, know. It's a French word that means gravy. and if 1t had not been given a French name by the English-speaking races I dare say not so much of 1t would be eaten. It is shortening the life of the race, just like so many other French abominations are, and the sooner we banish 1t from our diet the better will be the health of the generation of young men and women coming on to take our places.
 Now. mark you, don't object to a little gravy on my meat. but just a lit- tle-just enough to aid digestion. It does not aid digestion at all you know; on the contrary it harms it-first, by interfering with the functions of the salivary glands, then by preventing the gastric juices from doing their perfect work. and finally by neutralIzing the action of the alimentary juices. So tell you to quit eating gravy on your meats. If you prefes to call 1t sauce, all right; but by whatever name you designate 1t, by all means stop soak Ing your meats in 1t before eating them. "A little of the natural juices of the meats even if occasionally thickened with flour to give the gravy consistency, is not harmful but, since the race is running to sauces, am loath even to hint at the harmlessness of this''
 But, Senator" the young man pro- tested, maybe It's your habits that have preserved you in perfect health to such A ripe old age. Haven't your habits been always regular? No late hours, and that sort of thing. eh?''
