Assailino the Commissions.

Madison, April 1.-THE assembly
refused to- abolish the civil service
commission, the game warden bu-
rcau, and the immigration depart
ment. The Thomas bill, to prohibit
attorneys from signing a judges nom
ination papers was opposed by In
gals. Cleary and Mcconnell, and on
motion of B. A. Cady was killed. The
Georgi resolution TO amend the con-
stitution giving municipal corpora
lions power to issue bonds to pay for
lands and public improvements ex-
tending over period of fifty years
was engrossed. The bill provided fol

Shoots at Game Wardens.

Madison, April 15.-The office of
state game warden received a blow
aimed to end the existence of the de-
partment in bill introduced by the
committee on state affairs. The au-
thor is Senator Pearson. 1t provides
that the department shall be abol-
ished and it's functions distributed
and the secretary of state. The
money collected through the depart
ment is, if the bill passes, to be con
tributed to the school fund. The
joint resolution memorializing con-
gress not to pass the federal inheri-
lance tax bill passed the senate yes
terday after a debate between Senator
Gaylord and Senator Whitehead.
Another woman may, probably will,
gain admission to the board of univer-
sity regents. The assembly revised
the Hambrecht bill which it had re-
fused to advance the day before. 1t
had been rejected by vote of 4S to
AZ. Now it was revised by vote of
55 to 35 and then pushed on to en-
grossment by vote of Sc to 81.
The bill from the committee on
state affairs, which would compel
county boards to place all county Of
ficers on salaries tit is permissive
now, was stoutly supported in the as
sembly by Mr.. Scott, while Mr.. In
gram thought it embraced some dan
gerous provisions. Messrs. Thomas
ingalls,, and several others, partici-
pated in the discussion, rather in
uuiringly. The bill was engrossed.
It cuts off essentially all fees except
for the serving of papers outside the
county and for actual expenses. Mr..
Roethe made a speech in behalf of
his bill abolishing the civil service
commission, declaring that the exist
ing law does not improve the service,
that the character of state employees
has not been bettered, that no longer
have the heads of departments, how
ever, any great their responsibility,
authority over their clerks, that the
latter have virtually become masters,
and that they are hard to get out.
Mr.. Coolidge explained that pending
bills, if passed, would remove many
of the existing annoyances. The bill
was indefinitely postponed.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.
Woman Suffrage Favored.

Madison, April 14.-An effort on the
part of Senator Bird to strike fatal
blow at woman suffrage was not al
lowed. The senate defeated his mo
ton to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was passed by vote of 16
to Is. This bill provides for refer
endum on suffrage. The Hambrecht
resolution for joint committee to
investigate the senatorial election
came up for concurrence in the SEN
ate and was without much formality
laid over for a week, The resolution
provides for committee OF five as
semblymen and three senators in
stead of the present committee of
three senators.
After a brisk contest, the as
sembly Indefinitely postponed the
Hambrecht bill providing for a sec
ond woman on the board of univer-
sity regents. AS soon as the measure
was reached Mr.. Mcconnell of La
Crosse, varsity alumnus of promi-
nence, made the motion to kill. He
thought the board was too large now
that it was cumbersome with its 13
members, and should be reduced to
seven or eight. 1t was all right to
have more women on the board. To
that he did not object; but the gov
ernor can name as many as he
pleases at present. No law restraints
him.
The so-called Mary Ann bill, No.
$50, introduced by Assemblyman ]. e.
Mcconnell, was adversely reported
by the assembly elections committee,
and a similar report was made res
pecting V. H. Cadys bill on the
same subject. A neutral report
was made on Senator Barker's long
bedsheet bill, and the claims COM
mittee gave an advance recommends
ton on the bill appropriating $4,000
to the Society of Equity.
The Hambrecht bill to limit the
the Hambrecht bill to limit the
5000 in sub-districts of less than 80
pupils was killed after it had been ad.
vocated by Mr.. Hambrecht and op-
posed by Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Hull
Mr.. Stevens raided the Weber bill
limiting the hours of labor in bakeries
to 10 hours per day and 60 week. He
thought such legislation was an un-
warranted intrusion upon the rights
both of employers and employees 1T
was as unjust to the latter as to the
former. Mr.. Simon Smiths bill, pro
vlding for representative to the
national conference on weights and
measures was killed.

higher in the present bill which Mr.

ever before In any tariff bill, and
that the present rates under the
Dingley bill are so high that they

importation of any paper from
abroad, and, therefore. prevent the
treasury from raising any revenue
from tariff on paper. and at the same
time enable the paper trust to charge
most exorbitant prices.

The Judgeship Situation.
There has been little change here
in the judgeship situation during the
past week. President Taft continues
to hear individuals and delegations
on the subject, but gives no indica-
is not in his mind about this matter
which is of SO much Importance to
the people Of eastern Carolina.
The rumor that he will appoint a
DemOcrat-either Mr.. Fuller, of
American Tobacco Company affilia-
tlons, or Judge Conner, who did not
stand up and make the fight for a
once agreed with the principle, has
grown somewhat in evidence. Still it
is said by a number of thoughtful and
observant persons that it can not be
possible that he would go into the
Democratic party to take one of these
two men, or ineed any Democrat, in
face of the fact that there are a
dozen or more Republican lawyers in
eastern Carolina, every one of whom
are equal in legal ability, character
and in every other qualification for
the judgeship, with either of the
Democratic candidates.
Just what part the elusive Mr.
Duncan is playing in this matter is
hard to determine, and he looks
mysterious and will not tell. 1t is
believed, however, that this long-de-
layed agony will be over within the
next week or ten days.
