WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, March 20.-When the Bell
bill providing for tenders and pilots
Gil all street and interurban railways
came up for engrossing in the as
SCmbly, having been recommended
for passage by the committee on
transportation, Assemblyman ThOmp-
son of Milwaukee introduced a drastic
amendment regulating the penalties
failure to comply with the require
ments Of the law. The fines range
from $50 to $1,000, and the rate
commission is given the power to de-
termine the kind of fender to be used.
On motion of Mr.. Bell the bill was re-
referred to the committee on trans
POI tation. Three bills were ordered
fer engrossment: the Turner bill, re-
letting to the scattering of weed seed !;
the Cleary bill providing for penalties
for nuisances in the capitol park, and
the Jones bill requiring the Babcock
test for milk and cream. Two senate
bills were ordered to third reading,
one being he cause of a short debate.

one freebooter may sign five instead

bron amendment changed the bill so
as to substitute for "freeholders" the
words Registered, qualified electors"

The purpose of the amendment was
difficult to obtain the signatures of
two freeholders. The upstate mem
bers of the legislature were opposed
10 relaxing the registration require
ments and feared that such leniency
might tend to make electors careless
in the matter of registration. Messrs.
Hebron and Kander of Milwaukee
urged its adoption. The amendment
vas lost and the original bill was
ordered to a third reading.
BY a vote of 20 to 3 the senate
passed a bill introduced by Senator
Hardwood to extend the term of of,

outing place. All parks and play
grounds pay-pay enormously. They
pay, too, in the preservation of health
no less than in a financial way.
And SO all park projects as well as
the Estabrook bill for the creation or
state park commission, should be
regarded in a most friendly and fav.
orable light. There is nothing
vague or uncertain about the good
returns from such enterprises, under
takings or movements. They are in
tensely practical in their conse
quences.

Madison, March 23.-The committee
on state affairs reported On a number
Of excise bills, the most importan /
among which was the recommendation
of the Gotherburg license system.
Assemblyman Potter and Cleary dis.
sented from the report The bill
provides that the licenses in a com
munity may be issued to a corpora
ton organized for that purpose. and
that the corporation so organized
shall be responsible for the proper use
of such licenses. 1t provides that a
share of the profits of so conducting
the liqnor business shall go to the
community itself, and limits the num-
Der of shares which may be held by
any one person to one-fftieth of the
stock, any amount above that calling
for the payment of a penalty into the
city treasury. Another rather adj

AS to child labor it is we'll to I'M
derstdnd that there is no such amount
of it as dreaming sociologists imagine.
The child labor bulletin of the bureau
Of the census shows that in 1900 the
total number of breadwinners under
IA years of age, employed in other
than agricultural pursuits. was only
1S6,35S. The director of the census
says that with the growth of popula-
ton there has probably been a consid-
cradle increase since 1900 in the
number of children who are bread
winners. But the increase PROBABLY
has been confined to the children of
IA and IS. They composed in 1900
a majority of the child workers. The
state laws which have been enacted
since 1900 imposing greater restric-
lions upon the employment of young
children have not been ineffective In
1900 twenty-seven states and terri
tories legislated concerning the en-
ployment of children in mines. SO
that the reform is going forward so
effectively that there seems little war
rant now for the excess of zeal shown
in sentimental quarters to remedy an
evil which has all but been repressed.

However, people should not be inn
posed upon by over ger publications.
1t is the practice of some publishers
to continue to send their journals to
subscribers even after the latter have
ordered a disccntinuance, and then
10 follow tAeir impertinence by
brazenly forwarding bills. There is
but one proper method of treatment
in such cases-and that is promptly
10 consign all such bills to the waste
basket. A certain Minneapolis monthly
is a particular shameless offender,
and many Madison housewives have
had their patience sorely tried by it's
persistence and effrontery. The
fact that it is of a domestic character
seems 10 have had little effect in
promoting either modesty or a bust
ness-like spirit in its management.

Madison, March 23-The socfalistfc
bill for an eight-hour day on all pup
lie work-in the farming regions as
well as in villages and cities,-was
sent to the judiciary committee, to-
gether with the other mischievous
measure which would forbid a manu-
facturer, during strike, to deny ad-
mittance to his place to walking dele
gates from labor unions. These are
generally regarded as unusually radical
bills. A large number of bills were
advanced, then the assembly adj
jOurned over Sunday.

Every province in British North
America has a law prohibiting the
spring shooting OF geese, ducks and
Fother wild birds and the law is en-

this state to repeal the law forbid

However, the legislature will hardly
do that to please the game hog and
'uobC dy else wants it done.

1t is worth repeating and also
worth remembering, that the off-hand
retailing of intoXicants to minors in
this university center must become a
lost art. 1t cannot be comtenanced
and it will not. Saloonists have
their rights, and they are of gen
erous nature, but among them is not
the right TO corrupt our own youth
or the sons of others who are sent
among us for educational ends. Every
privilege belonging to a legalized
business must be safeguarded by the
a business of corrupting possibilities
must likewise receive proper atten-
ton.
