Special to The Journal
Madison, Wis, May 1.-THE ad valoren
bill, as passed by the assembly. will go
to the governor for his signature to-mor-
row and it will be signed without delay.
This morning the senate, in accordance
with the report of the recomme tons.
OF the committee on conference, receded
from It's position with reference to the
exemption Of railway bonds from taxa
ton and the bill was passed.
While the senate recedes and the bill
mentions railway bonds none of the bonds
will be taxed. In the opinion of the SEM
ate conferees the railway bonds will be
treated in the light of mortgage deben-
lures, which under the mortgage taxa
ton bill passed by the assembly will not
be taxed, so that under that bill the
bonds will escape. The only difference
Is, the senator's say, that the senate
amendment will avoid "the operation Of
the circuitous and costly plan Of bill
No 662 A, with reference to real estate
mortgages, viz, relief from double taxa
tion.''e
While asserting their oft-expressed con-
viction In the business and correctness
of their position the senate conferees
prefer to accede to the assembly, they
say, rather than jeapordize the BILL main
tanning. however, that their position with
reference to the principle Is correct.

The new grain inspection bill passed
by the assembly, was received by the sem
ate at last evenings session. and on mo
ton Of Senator Hudnall was ordered
placed on, Wednesdays calendar.
More vetoes by the Governor.
Governor La toilette last night returned
to the senate bill 2S2 relating to the Mil
waukee district court, without his ap.
| prevail In setting forth his reasons to,
nonapproving the bill the governor says
that its manifest purpose is to indirectly
increase the salary of the reporter Of thu
district court.
The governor also refused approval t
! the bill giving G. w. Henika and 9. w
i Fowell the right to build and maintain Z
dam across the Kiokapoo river at Reads
