was introduced in the senate when

an amendment to the wisconsin
river reservoir bill providing that the
franchise rights and privileges pre-
posed to be granted by the state to

regents OF the University. He be-
lieved that II would be far wiser for
the state to give the regents the
work and give the advantages de-
rived to the university instead of to
private corporation. He said that
the corporation was organized with
capital stock of 500 900 and this was
NOT so large sum that the university
could not properly execute 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.

to take advantage of such valuable
rights, 1t was best to give the ad
vantage TO the state institution rather
than to private corporation. Sena-
