WISCONSIN LAW MAKERS

Madison, May ia new principal
was introduced in the senate when
Senator Burns of Platteyille offered
an amendment to the Wisconsin
river reservoir bill providing that the
franchise rights and privileges pro
posed to be granted by the state to
the Wisconsin river Improvement cor.
poration be granted instead to the
regents OF the University. He be-
lieyed that it would be far wiser for
the state to give the regents the
work and give the advantages de
rived to the university instead of 70
a private corporation. He said that
the corporation was organized with a
capital stock of s1O0. 900 and this was
not so large a sum that the university
could not properly execute a plan to
be handled with such an amount of
stock He laid emphasis upon the
fact that the bill proposed to give
away valuable rights without com.
peusation and he declared that when
the state possessed an institution able
rights. it was best to give the ad
vantage to the state institution rather
than to private corporation. Sena-
tor Brazeau. one of the sponsors of the
biz. acknowledged surprise that such
an amendment should be offered de
claring that is adoption would be
equivalent to killing the bill.
Various other amendments were
offered several by Senator Hudnall
to provide that in the event that the
senate proposed at any time TO pur
chase the property OF the improve
ment company 1t could do SO and the
purchase price would be calculated
on the then actual value of the ma
