WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, March 1.-THE evils of
administrative officers of the state
government carrying employees on
the pay roll after the appropriation
for such work is exhausted were CIV
en- attention in the senate when SEN
ator Hudnall protested vigorously to
bill appropri 1ting S1,5S5 to persons
engaged in the work Of compiling the
last state census. The legislature
two years ago made a specific appro-
priaton for this purpose, not to ex-
coed $4,000 This appropriation
ran out before the work was com
pleted. the clerks remained at work
and now seek to get their justice Of
the claim, but Senator Hudnau de-
olared his unalterable opposition to
setting a precedent which allowed
administrative officers to exceed ap-
priauons. The bill was ordered
to engrossment and third reading. A
number of bills were passed, includ-
ing the Barker bill providing for sani-
tary regulation of hotels. and the
Pearson bill to provide that the pos
session of a federal retail liquor H.
cense shall be evidence that the pos
SCISSOR Is engaged in selling or other
wise dispensing liquor. This bill is
TO assist dry towns to enforce the
law against blind pigs. Senator
Stout, for the committee On eduCa-
ton, introduced a bill to authorize
villages to pay part of the cost OF
county schools OF agricultural and
domestic economy, and to issue bonds
for this purpose not to exceed one
fifth OF the cost. The committee on
charitable and penal institutions re-
ported in favor of indefinitely post.

cigaret bill passed the assembly al
ter a brief discussion, without a dis

judiciary on account of some minor
errors and a substitute drawn which
provides that all persons under the
age Of IG are subject to a fine Of $40
Tor using cigarets, cigars, or tobacco

t-onsl convention Of the states of the

appropriation of $4,000 for nor

the bills passed were Senator Bark

In the assembly Mr.. Roycraft y~e-
scented a petition from citizens OF

bers to vote for J. o. Davidson for

One of the bills concurred in, the
one relating to the capitol and
grounds was the most important. The
debate on this bill few days ago was
rather fierce, but it seems that the
whole matter was thoroughly thresh-
ed out at that time, since the bill was
concurred in without any remarks.

mended the Miller bill to limit cleo

He objected to the engrossment Of
the Schauer bill calling for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment association.
The attack was answered by Assem-
blymen Schauer, Elger, Ainsworth
and -1cGregor. These pointed OUT
that Mr.. Bancroft had made super

would easily have discovered thar
