|oF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Many Bills of Greatest Interest to be
taken up by Representative in
Madison When They Meet
Again on April IL

When the members of the legislature
return on Monday evening, April -,
they will find nearly 200 bills posted
on the bulletin boards for public hear
| ing during the week. The different
committees are attempting to work the
| bills off. The noticeable feature of
the hearings will be that the assembly
committee will consider senate bills
and vice versa. This indicates that
the legislature is getting down to
| strenuous business, and that the bills
| that have passed one house are now
being considered by the other branch
| Some very important hearings are
scheduled. The assembly committee
on education will take up the bill on
| April IA, for the creation Of a Board
| in each county Of five members, which
will elect the county superintendent
of the county for term of two years
AS this bill was reported in by the
committee on education, it is believed
lit will be recommended favorably.
Assemblyman Viebahn of WATERFOWL,
one of the most prominent school men
Of the state during the past twenty
| five years, believes it should pass.
| The committee on agriculture has
before it for hearing on April IA,
eight bills relating to the practice of
veterinary surgery in the state. One
Of the most important of these meas
ures, the second bill to be introduced
into the assembly at the session, will
be supported by Assemblyman V. f..
strongly opposed to the present veteri
nary law and a large delegation of
farmers will come to Madison to sup
port the passage of the bill The
Cady bill would not make the provi
sions regarding registration so strin-
gent. Many petitions from that
vicinity and other sections Of the
state have been received favoring the
passage Of the law.
Other bills relating to the vctcr;
nary practice have much the same
tenor as the Cady bill. The commit
tee on agriculture has taken strong
stand in favor Of the testing of cattle
and it is regarded as doubtful, if
many changes will be made in the
present law.
The Stewart bill to compel the use
| of safety devices on corn shredders
will be given a hearing by the com
mittee on agriculture, April IA. This
bill seeks to compel the owners and
operators Of huskers to provide devices
for carrying the corn stalks to the
rollers without the assistance of a
man. Some Of the statistics gathered
Iby Mr. Stewart show that over
twenty persons are annually
manned of hand or an arm and some
are killed, during a. corn husking sea-
son.
| The Mcconnell bill for the rotation
Of names on the primary ballot will
be given hearing by the committee
on elections April Is. Assemblyman Nc
Connell recently said that he believed
this bill would give every man who
wished to be a. candidate for office an
equal chance and would deprive the
man, whose name began with the first
letter Of the alphabet of any advan-
tage over any other candidate. As
semblyman Domachowsaki's bill for a
closed primary bill will be given a
hearing the same day as the Neon
mel bill and the Cady bill for nomina-
tion and election at the primary is
slated for discussion the same after
noon.
