and he read from the report of the tax
commission to show that the commits
sion agreed with him on this point.
Mr.. Wallrich endeavored to show
that the northern counties needed
more money than would be raised for
them under a six-tenths tax, and he
denied that a greater tax would tend
to make the districts extravaganza or
cause them to depend upon the state
tax entirely. Inc present law govern
ing the distribution of the fund he
said would prevent any abuse of this
kind.
Mr.. Smalley admitted that the prin-
ciple of the wealth paying for the edu-
cation of the children was a good one,
but he saw no use in raising more
money than was needed even if the

ed that the total that would be raised
for the schools of the state under the
six-tenths tax would be about $780,

Madison, March %.
Assemblyman Hamm appeared be
fore the assembly judiciary committee
yesterday for the passage of his pawn
snOp biiis, requiring these places to
take out licenses and lowering the
rate of interest they charge on loans.
He said the bills were meritOrious and
ought to be passed, that some of the
pawn brokers in Milwaukee were
charging as high interest as 10 per
cent. per month on small loans and on
good security and that the usurous
practice would be prevented by his
bill. He said the purpose of the other
bill was to require the concerns to
procure local licenses so that they
would be subjected more to the local
municipal authorities. Now they OPP
crate unregulated and unrestrained.
The committee reserved the bills for
executive session for action.

ed by the heads of the departments
frequently brought business of I'M
portance TO the capitol on Saturday
afternoons and were subjected to great
inconvenience. delay and loss by find
ing the Offices deserted and locked. He
said the office hours were not long,
the toll required not arduous and
that the law allowed a vacation of one
month with pay to each employee.
State Treasurer Kempf appeared and
said in his department it was necessa-
~ to close the banking business at 4
