OF the domestic flowers there will prob
ably be many kinds on the local markets
this Easter. Owing to the lateness of
Easter season, the lilac will probably be
very much in evidence, but while the late
Easter will permit the people of Wash
ington to enjoy the lilac the same reason
will probably deprive them of the ever
popular violet. The recent warm weather
has already had its effect on the timd blue
violet and it seems almost certain now that
there will be very few of these flowers to be
had by the time Easter arrives. In place of
the violet, however the local markets will
supply in abundance gardenias, lilies of the
valley, sweet peas, orchids, spring roses
and carnations.

The bill to return taxes on railroad
terminal property to localities in
which the property is situated was re-
ferred to the committee on the assess
ment and collection of taxes. Sena-
tor Hudnall opposed preference, de-
claring it was merely an attempt to
kill the bill or destroy it's effective
ness by amendments. The motion pre-
vailed by vote of Is to IA.
The Norris county option bill IN"
definitely was postponed. 1t was OBJ
jected to by brewers and city people
for the reason that it would give coun-
try voters power to leglslate saloons
out of cities. The assembly adopted
resolution shutting off new business
on May Is. The new bill for the state
tax commission was introduced. The
committee on claims had hearing on
the new capitol bill. Senator McG1ll1-
vray, opposing Cass Giibert's plans
accused the commission of stealing

chamber was called upon to pronounce
the famous Greek word Of some eighty
syllables, used in Athens to designate
hash, and some of the members de-
clared they would call for the dish as
soon as they reached home.
Return of fine weather, and desire
of the members to stretch their over
Sunday vacation at home, resulting IN
many absentees, caused the legisla-
ture to lie idle Friday. This was ex-
pected in the assembly, but the senate
had one of the longest schedules OF
business before it of the entire SEES
sion.
The lower house met, heard commit
tee reports and adjourned to Monday
night at 9 o'clock. The senate refused

THE STATE LEGISLATURE

By vote of 50 to 35 the assembly
Tuesday refused to pass the so-called
telephone physical connection" bill
requiring that telephone exchanges
provide connections with other ex-
changes for the benefit and conven-
fence of patrons of all. The measure
was introduced and pushed in the in
terest of Independent companies and
was vigorously opposed by the So
called trust
After long debate, which at times
was spirited, the assembly by vote
of 81 to 10, adopted the Andrews
amendment to change the distribu-
ton of taxes from 20 per cent to che
state and 80 per cent to localities to
Is per cent to the state and So per
cent to localities. Speaker Lenroot
left the chair to lead the debate
against the report Of the committee
and in favor of the adoption of the
Andrews amendment.
The bill to strengthen the corrupt
practices law, requiring candidates
for Office to file statements OF ex-
penses; providing that delinquents
should be prosecuted, and that no de-
linquent could qualify for any office
to which he had been elected, also
was passed.
The Roehr bill to punish usury,
and which was aimed at loan sharks
of Milwaukee, was on the calendar
from the committee on judiciary, with
recommendation for non-cOncurrenCe,
but on motion of Chairman Ekern OF
that committee, was re-referred to the
committee for further hearings and
consideration.
There were about twenty absentees
in the assembly, and Henry Johnson
declared that unless more members
attended the session the next day he
would cause a call of the house. 1t is
apparent that members are becoming
fatigued by the long session and are
caring less about being absent with
out leave.
The senate passed the Lewis and
Clark appropriation bill by vote OF
% to 6. 1t provides for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Wisconsin ex-
hibit at the Portland exposition, to-
gether with the unexpended balance
of $4,000 remaining FROM the St.
Louis appropriation. The forestry
commission bill, on the calendar for
passage, was laid over for day. The
corn shredder safety appliance bill
was on the calendar for advancement,
but was laid over. Treasurer Kempf's
bill to pay for his additional bond
was on the calendar for concurrence,
but was laid over. The Stout 30O-fOot
bill to remove saloons from the prox-
unity of schools was delayed as was
also the Stevens bill to increase sal
aries of circuit judges.
The senate advanced the emergen-
cy appropriation bill for the current
expenses of state charitable and
penal institutions. 1t carries an ap-
preparation of $4,000.
The senate concurred in the assem-
bly's bill providing that divorced per-
sons cannot marry until year from
the Gate of the divorce except that on
application of the party obtaining the
divorce judges may grant permission

The assembly Monday by a unan1-
nous vote passed a bill to assess on
an ad valorem basis property OF street
railways and heat, light and power
companies operated in connection
with railway companies. The assess
ment is to be made by the state tax
commission direct, and IS per cent OF
the tax is to be returned to the cities
or towns in which the companies are
located. The bill now goes to the SEN
ate.
Senator Munson determined that
lawyers of the senate should not nave
a second opportunity tc reject the
Torrens land title registration system
for Wisconsin, and he had the salts
faction of having the Dahl bill to es-
tablish that system referred to the
committee on state affairs, when the
lawyers wanted it sent to their
slaughter Rouse, the judiciary COM
mittee. The secret appears to be
that the lawyers have profitable
portion of their business in the work
the Torrens system would abolish.
Lieut.. Gov. Davidson referred the
bill to the committee on state AFFAIRS.
Senator Roehr asked that it be referred
to the committee on judiciary, explain
ing that it was a matter OF peculiar
legal importance and properly should
go to that committee. Senator Mum
son said that the judiciary committee
already had killed such a bill this ses-
sion, and would like to kill this one
if given a chance. He objected to the
change of reference. A rising vote
was had and Senator Munson had his
way.
The assembly joint resolution to
shut off new business on May 16 was
received. and on motion of Senator
Whitehead was referred to the com"
mittee on rules.

After a debate of three hours on
Wednesday the senate by a vote of Is
to Is ordered to third reading the
substitute for the assembly bill pro-
viding that railroad terminals shall
be taxed locally. Senator John M.
Whitehead of GAINESVILLE called atten-
ton to the fact that for fifty years
Wisconsin had been working toward
a policy of taxing railroads as unity
instead of in local taxation districts.
AS the policy had been worked out
the revenues from this source were
turned into the state treasury. If at
this late day, when the completed
system has been in operation but two
years. the state is to reverse it's pol
icy, then that act would be the begin
ming of the end of WiscOnsin's lead

Senator Frear introduced an amend
ment that railroad shops be included
the state should collect the tax and
with the list of properties on which
refund it to the municipalities, but he
did not favor distributing to munich
palities any portion of the tax collect
ed by the state. Senator Hudnall
said Senator Frear was in the posi-
ton of highwayman who was afraid
to take part in the hold-up, but in
sisted upon sharing in the "swag.
Hudnall said that the state tax
commission had subjected to distribI-
ton to localities moneys collected by
