| into justice and constable districts.
| The assembly bill providing for the
regulation and registering OF at&o-
mobiles in the Office of the secretary
! of state was advanced. Advancement
propriate $1,000 to the Wisconsin
Health Park association. This con-
sumptive-cure corporation, which has
acquired 240 acres Of land from the
estate of the late William Bradley at
! Tomahawk and had made some i'm
provements. In order to hold the gift
| the corporation offered it to the state
if the legislature would appropriate q
sufficient sum to keep the gift from re-
verting to the estate. This sum is
the $1,000 appropriated.
Varsity Bills Held Over.
The university appropriation bills
were laid over on the motion of Sen
ator Hatten. One is the main univer-
| sity bill, providing for annual ap-
preparations equivalent to tax Of 81
of one mill on each dollar as assessed
valuation in the state, and the other
/ is a special appropriation to the uni
Versity law school. The committee on
claims amended the latter bill so that
instead of calling for direct speciaf
appropriation from the state treasury,
it requires the board Of regents to
make the Appropriation out OF the gen.
eral university funds. This amend
ment grew out of adverse opinion as
j to the unsyStematic manner OF making
university appropriations. 1t has been
| frequent and customary in times past
to have a general university ap,
preparation bill and then a multiplica>
| ton of additional special appropria-
ton bills for various departments OF
associated interests in the university.
The committee on claims is OF the
opinion that the general university
appropriation should cover the entire
institution and that the departments
or other interests in the university
should go to the regents for the
money, to come out of the general uni
versity fund.
Senator McGillivray moved recon
sideration of the vote by which the
Stout Gutenberg liquor dispensary
system bill was refused advancement,
and the motion was laid over.
No Extension of Primary Law.
By vote of 13 to 16 the senate re-
! fused to extend the application OF the
primary election principle to the Sc
lection of delegates to the national
convention. The Beedle bill, which
provides for this application of the
iprinciple, was on the calendar for adj
vancement to third reading, but after
few remarks the senate voted to
make no change. Senator Wilcox
gave as his reason for opposing the
bill the fact that the primary election
law had not been given a fair trial un-
/! der the primary election system as
formulated by the last legislature and
adopted by the people at the polls in
November. He made it plain how
ever, that by no means did he approve
of the situation regarding the Wiscon-
sin delegates to the last republican
national convention, as developed
! cut of the bolt and divided conven-
ton in Madison a year ago. Never
/ theless, he thought that as another
i Legislative session would intervene be-
| fore there would be occasion to use
the plan proposed in the Beedle bill
there was no need or necessity for en-
acting such law at this time He
chose to have the primary law tested
in practical way as it stood when
the people passed favorably upon it
rather than to begin so soon, sooner
than need be, to revise and change it.
Senator Frear explained that the bill
merely provided for the extension Of
the principle SO overwhelmingly ap-
proved by the people to the selection
C delegates to the national conven-
ton.
