CUES, Tor instance, have not the right
10 suppress Objectionable billboards
and saloon signs. All of which goes
to show which way the wind is blow
ing and is pat in connection with this
proposed legislation
The Liquor Question.
Ihe liquor question will be a big
boAe of contention later on. Nearly
2C0 bills affecting the sale of LIQUOR
nave been introduced in the two
houses, This does not mean much,
however, as over that number came in
two years ago, but the powerful brew
ing LOBBY was able to defeat all but
one, this one being the Stout bill,
Which prohibits the establishment of
new saloons within 800 feet Of any
schoolhouse and provides for the re-
moyal in 1908 of such as are now
within that limit. When the temper
ance interests saw the futility two
years ago OF making charge all along
the line they massed their strength for
the passage Of the Thayer bin, which,
in brief, provided that residents of a
locality, and not the common council,
should say whether or not a license
should be granted in such locality.
After a stormy campaign the bill final
ly passed both houses, only to be killed
in the assembly through parliament
airy technicality when it came back to
that house for some insignificant
amendment
Then the temperance people united
on the Stout bill, which went through
and stuck. Not only will the brew
ing interests oppose all the main
liquor bills, but they have already be-
gun an active campaign for the repeal
OF the Stout bill.
Thayer Bill Again Appears.
The Anti-Saloon league will wage a
more intelligent campaign this year,
under the direction of f. c. Weed, at
torney for the league, who is already
actively engaged with the legislators.
The so-called Thayer bill, in slightly
modified form, has again appeared III
both houses, being presented in the
upper house ny Senator Brown and
in the lower by AssembIyman John +.
Baker, of Alma Center. young stu
dent-preacher member.
This now famous measure consists
Of twelve sections and provides that
if majority of the qualified electors
of a definitely designated residence
district shall file before May 10 of
any year a remonstrance to the sale
Of intoxicating liquors within such dis
trict it shall be unlawful for the COM
mon council, city, village or town to
grant such license until a counter
petition signed by a majority of the
district electors be filed, asking that
such license be granted.
Residential districts affected by the
act are to contain not less than 100
nor more than 1000 electors and are
not to include sections where over so
per cent is devoted to commercial
purposes Park. educational, religious,
and charitable properties are to be re-
garded as residential.

ton ever proposed in Wisconsin, and
its advocacy a half dozen years ago
would have been regarded as form
of insanity. Now it is accepted as a
matter of course in the present state

regulation Of public utilities, and while
opposition is expected to the bill, at
least in certain particulars, it is pre-
dicted it will go through both houses
with plenty Of votes to spare

Civil Service Law

The controversy of Secretary of
State Frear with the civil serv-
ice commission over the extent
Of the commissions jurisdiction in
his office has led to considerable
attention being drawn to the law. but
there has been manifest no disposition
to repeal the law or even to modify
it much. II any legislation on the sub
ject is attempted it may take the form
of q constitutional amendment rec
ogniZing the principle of the law and
to secure its greater stability. Secre-
tary Frear wanted the office OF his
chief clerk exempted from the Jurls-
dictlOn of the commission because of
its confidential nature and the large
responsibilities connected with it. The
commission. after hearing his argu-
ments, however, could not see things
his way and refused his request. The
merit board has large powers and
there is no appeal to the court from
its decisions, so Mr.. Frear had to ac-
cept its rulings. By its leave he ap-
pointed a chief clerk temporarily some
time ago and this pro TEN. official will
take the examination with all other
candidates for the job, which will
be held all over the state March ?, in
connection with those for half dozen
other good state jobs to be held at the
same time. Speaker Ekern has intro
duced a bill Oh the lines of the New
York law, legislating the commission
permanently into the machinery Of the
state. A. O. BARTON.

Some Other Bills.

Among the bills to regulate the
liquor traffic is one fixing a license of
$500 for cities under 5000 and $1,000
for cities over 5000 population. An
other makes the license fee in all
cities $500 for beer and $500 for the
general sale of liquor. Then there are
various County option measures, bills
to remove all screens from saloons,
etc.
It is said that when it comes to
committee hearings the brewing inter-
ests will make great effort to have
the Stout bill repealed and will intro
duce a mass Of evidence to prove its
confiscatory character. However, the
opinion seems to be that not only will
the Stout bill stand, but the Thayer
bill will be enacted also. Assembly
man l.. n. Clausen, of Washburn, is
one of the strong champions of liquor
regulation.
Along the line of this sumptuary leg
islatiOn is a bill introduced by Assem-
blyman Domachowski, of Milwaukee,
who is, or was, q salOonkeeper him
self. 1t amends the law fOrbidding
the sale Of liquors to minors SO as to
include the sale of cigarettes or tobac-
co. He believes law should be
passed forbidding the sale Of tobacco
in any form to boys under Is and he
proposes this as an amendment to the
minorliquor law, and provides heavy
penalty and revocation of license if
sold in a saloon. He, says that at
school intermissions he has seen boys
fiocking to places where they could
smoke cigarettes and he thinks a
stringent law should be passed to
curb the practice among the young.

Hartford, May 29-With only Q few minutes to spare the house to-day pass ed, under suspension of the rules and in concurrence. the bill placing county sherlffs on salary basis in lieu of fees in criminal cases.
 In spite of the closeness of time in which the bill could be sent through the legislative channel, some members wanted to kill it by talking it out of legal existence and half an hour was consumed in debate. The bill went through and the clerk of bills took 1t to the executive office, from which a statement was later issued that the governor would sign it. Had there been a slight additional delay the fee sys- tenn would have been continued for another four years.
 The action of the house in tabling the measure yesterday was taken to mean that there was an effort on foot to kill the measure. The friends of the meas ure, however. moved It's immediate passage

AIMED AT BUCKET SHOTS.
Committee on Banks Reports Drastic
 Bill to Eliminate Them.

Hartford, May 29.-The committee on banks reported favorably to-day on a bill which will eliminate all so-called bucket shops" now in existence in this state. The title of the bill Is sim lply Concerning bucket shops In the first section bucket shop is de- fined and transactions described. The section further says:
 Tt is the intention of this act to pre- vent, punish and prohibit within this state the business now engaged in and conducted in places commonly known and designated as bucket shops and also to include the practice now com monly known as bucket shopping by persons, operators, or partnership, who ostensibly carry on the business or occupation of commission mer- chants or brokers in grain, provisions, cotton, coffee, petroleum, stocks and bonds"
 The second section makes 1t unlaw- ful for the keeping of such bucket shop and fixes penalty, the first con viction to be a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $1,000, or to be imprisoner in the county jail until such fine is paid, not exceeding one year. The second offense provides the same penalty, with the addition of q jail sentence of not less than fifty days or more than one year.
