If the legislature would appropriate a
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
We're 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 i special appro" .4tion 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.
1t 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
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 multiplied,
ton of additional special appropria-
ton bills for various deparun ents or
associated interests il 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
principle, was on tt calendar for ad-
vancement to third reading, but after
4 few remarks the senate voted to

gave as his reason for opposing the
hill the fact that the primary election
law had not been given a fair trial I'M
der the primary election system as
formulated by the last legislature and
adopted by the people at uhe polls in
November. He made it plain, how
ever, that by no means did he approve
of the situation regarding the Wiscon-
sill 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
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.

Vetoes Sustained.
Four of the governors vetoes W ere
on the assembly calendar for consider
alton. An effort was made to pass
lbe bill providing for license to agents

unauthorized companies over the gov
eInor's head, but the attempt failel
by vote TO 81 to 81. No fight was
Iuade on the others. The bill to pro

ty and the bill providing for an appeal

eral minor senate amendments TO I'M
important bills, was all the business
to come before the assembly yester'
cay.
