Twelve Big ProbIemsTO Be Taken
Up Before Adjournment Of
State Legislature
AUSTIN BILL STILL HELD UP
Members Getting Ready to Skfft I'm
portant Problems Until Special
Session of the Legislature
is Held Next Year

Twelve big problems must be consid-
cred by the legislature before final ad
iournment can he effected. Under
present conditions, it. is impossible
that the legislature will complete it's
work between the 18th. and the goth
day Of June.
The more important questions to be
considered are:
The university appropriation bill, and
the normal school appropriation bill
which have passed the senate and are
now before the assembly.
The ELL to hasten the construction
Of the new capitol building, permitting
an appropriation of $1,OOo,00O annual
Iy if the finances of the state will per-
init.
The Austin bill creating Board Of
five members with absolute power to
investigate and revoke liquor licenses
for cause.
A uniform fish and game bill which
has been reported in the senate for
passage.
The Chapple bill, which has already
passed the assembly and will come be-
fore the senate on Thursday which
provides for the taxation of ore docks
locally.
A. bill permitting the State Board
of Forestry to issue certificate of in
debtedness for $1,000,000
Two good road bills and five substi-
tutes regulating the method of state
aid to highways.
Reports of the senatorial investiga-
ting committee with bills providing
for reforms in election laws.
The question of whether the office
of state water ways commissioner shall
DC abolished.
Several bills for the abolition of the
state fish and game wardens depart
ment with a substitute by Assembly
man Ingram for a modified county
system pending.
The appointment of four special
committees to consider before the
special session of the legislature the
subject of income tax, industrial in
surance, guaranty of bank deposits
and granting of franchise for water
power.
The bill repeating the law permit
ting the construction of another big
power dam on the Wisconsin river at
Prairie du Sac
So far, few important bills have
passed the Legislature and the number
that have been signed by the governor
are said to be fewer than in any ses-
sion of this length.

MANY SEE EXHIBIT
$4,000 People in Wisconsin Have
Seen tuberculosis Exhibit
Sent Out by State
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION

Nearly $4,000 people in twelve cities
Of Wisconsin during the last three
months have attended the tuberculosis
exhibit prepared by the department of
bacteriology Of the University of Wis
consin' and sent out by the university
extension division of the university in
cooperation with the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association.
The largest attendance during a sin
gle week was at Oshkosh, where $500
people studied the methods of proven
tion and cure of the white plague as
demonstrated in the exhibition. The
average attendance each week for the
twelve weeks that the exhibition has
been on the road has been 1000.
The interest is steadily increasing,
and at Kaukauna, a larger proportion
of the population visited the exhibit
than at any place at which it has
thus far been shown. Difficulty is
being experienced in obtaining large
enough halls and vacant stores in
which to accommodate the crowds
The exhibit is in charge of Harvey
Dee Brown and w. A. Gloyer, who are
being assisted in their campaigns by
local physicians and clergymen, as well
as by the principals of schools Mr..
Brown is delivering a series of lectures
in towns surrounding the places where
the exhibitions are being held, and for
this purpose trunk exhibit contain
ing charts, illustrations, etc, has been
prepared to supplement the larger one.
Last week the exhibit attracted
large numbers at Depere. Monday
it opened at Green Bay. The timer.
airy for the rest of the summer is as
follows: Oconto, May 31-June r; Mari

TURNED HOSE ON HIM
Cudahy Butcher Not Used to Brand O.
'sBooze'' Sold in Kencsha

Herman Bokrandt, a butcher from
Cudahy, appeared in the Municipal
Court Thursday and pleaded guilty
to charge Of intoxication and was
fined dollar and the costs Of the &C
ton. The man admitted to the court
that he was Hsoused'' and his testi-
mony was borne out by the statement
of the attendants at the jail who de-
clare that he was so filed with the
oil of joy that it was impossible to
keep him quiet after he reached the
jail and it finally became necessary to
turn the hose on him in order to allow
the other prisoners in the jail to get
a little sleep. Bokrandt told the court
that this was the first time in his life
that he had ever been arrested on
any charge and declared that the Ke-
nosha liquor was evidently of much
stronger grade than he had been used
to.

PROBE IS A F|zzLE
Examination Into Charges Against
State Insurance Department
Brings No Results
LOOKS LIKE A "WHITEWASH"

What at the beginning of the session
promised to be a feature has fallen
to insignifcance. Shortly after the
legislature had convened upon COM
plant of Mark w. Waite d special
message upon the insurance department
was sent to the legislature by Governor
Davidson transmitting the charges and
suggesting an investigation. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
finance, banks and insurance and up
on joint meeting and consideration
it was decided to appoint Senator Fair
child and Assemblyman Cleary to
make an examination and report back
to the committee of the legislature
Although the session is now nearing
a close, no report has been made to
the committee and it is doubtful if any
action will be taken by the legislature
on the matter. It is said that the
assembly committee, of which F. w.
Kubasa is chairman, will ask the
special committee this week if the ex-
animation of the insurance commits
sioner IS books has been completed
The direct result Of referring the
matter to the legislature by the gov
ernor has resulted, however, in the
starting Of test suit to determine
whether former commissioners of in
surance had any right to retain the
fees collected by them. The discovery
Of statute that limited the bringing
of actions within ten year period re-
suited in the test case being started
| by the attorney general against Emil
Giliohan and his bondsmen. Just
what will be the outcome of this litiga-
tion is not known as the matter will be
carried to the Supreme Court for final
adjudication. Should the courts hold
that the insurance commissioner could
not legally retain the fees then addi-
tional actions will be started against
Commissioners Fricke, Host and Bee
| die.
In reality the only matter left for
the legislative committee to determine
! is whether the insurance commissioner
had examined companies before admit
ting them. Mr.. Waite contended that
some companies were admitted and an
examination Of them conducted later,
but this was one of the phases of the
subject the legislative committee was
asked to report upon.

HOLDS LAW VALID
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
Regarding Inheritance Taxes


Regarding Inheritance Taxes
Chief Justice j. B. Wins1ow has fled
the opinion of the Supreme Court in
the case of Abbie e. Beals against
the state of Wisconsin, involving the
constitutionality of the inheritance
tax law. The decision was handed
down Saturday with that in the Pabst
case, but was not placed ON file until
Monday.
The court summarizes the points de-
cided as follows:
1. The right to receive property by
inheritance or will is an inheritance
right, subject to reasonable regulation
and taxation, but not to abrogation
by the legislature. =.
2. Section L of Article VIII of the
constitution of Wisconsin does not
limit taxation to property only, hence
the Legislature may levy excise taxes
upon privileges, occupations, business
transfers or transactions.
3. AS to the taxation of property
there can be no classification which
interferes with substantial uniformity
of rate based upon value.
4. AS to excise taxation, there may
be proper classification and different
rates applied to different classes and
the term uniformity of taxation means
simply taxation which acts alike on
all persons similarly situated.
s. The Inheritance tax levied by
chapter "A of the laws Of 1903 is not a
tax upon property or property rights
in any sense, but purely an excise tax
levied upon the transfer or transac
ton and merely measured in amount
by the amount of property transferred
6. Neither the classification be
tween relatives in various degrees and
strangers. nor the progressive feat
ures of law violate the true prin
ciples of classification, and as excise
taxation is only subject to the genera
principle that all persons similarly
circumstance shall be treated alike
and not to the rule of uniformity a,
applied to property taxation, the Law
does not violate the constitutions
mandate in this respect.
