BY vote of ~ to As the Assembly
Tuesday morning put itself on record as
opposed to the Smoker bill to put mar
ried women on the same plane with men
as regards property rights. Both sides to
the argument claimed to be the gallant
champions of the fair sex. The Donlad
bill to prohibit discrimination in the
charges in telephone rentals in different
cities was passed without debate by a
vote of GO to %. The Senate concur
red in the Assembly amendments to the
Milwaukee and Platteville normal school
appropriation bill, which now goes to
the Governor, and the bill relating to the
establishment of State park about
Devils lake. The Senators got into
tangle over whether the ayes and noes
ought to be called on the bill authoriz-
ing the county boards to levy tax for
soldiers. After being concurred in and
reconsidered and division ordered on a
motion to lie over and almost endless
discussion and citation of authorities, the
ayes and noes were taken and the bin
was concurred in.
Without a word of debate Wednesday
morning the Assembly advanced to en-
grossment the bill to abolish dover and
courtesy and substitute heirship therefor.
This is one of the bills in the interests
of married women and was introduced by
the committee on Judiciary. 1t is along
the same lines as the Smoker bill, which
was killed in the Assembly the previous
day after a sharp debate and denied re-
consideration by a decisive vote. By
vote of 4S to 80 reconsideration of bill
353A was ordered. The bill gives the
board of medical examiners power to re-
fuse licenses to persons guilty of unpro-
fessional conduct. The bill was sent to
the judiciary committee. The bill requr-
ing officers to require from all candidates
for nomination or election statements Of
expenses before issuing certificates of
nomination or election was sent to en-
grossment by a vote of 4S to 10. At the
same time No. 86A, to repeal the present
corrupt practices act, was killed.
g.
Gov. La Toilette on Thursday morning
sent to the Assembly a veto of the bill
decreasing the punishment exemptions.
His reasons for Withholding his APP
prevail were that it removed protec-
ton from the working man which was
honestly his due The Assembly post
poned consideration of the message The
bill to create a school book commission
to establish uniformity of text books in
the common schools of the State was or
dered engrossed by a vote of 46 to SO, af-
ter spirited debate in the Assembly. Mr..
Braddock's anti-pass bill came up again,
he having an amendment permitting Of
use of transportation by officials in the
discharge Of their duties as the employees
of railroad companies. In reply to a
question from Mr.. Coff1and, Mr.. Brad
dock explained that competent authori-
ties gave it as their opinion that news
paper men who were public officials could
not ride on mileage under the law. The
vote on engrossment was rs to Z. In
the Senate the Frear life insurance res
olution was adopted and the following
bills concurred in: 73A (Beedle), pertain
ing to printing Of proceedings Of associa-
tons of trustees and superintendent Of
county asylums 5S3A (McGregor), relat-
ing to teachers certificates.
Gov. La Toilette has played his trump
card and won the game in the freight
