Ramsey county district court, who

WORK OF THE
LEGISLATURE
.s.ss.:..s..:.ss*sS

In the way of big legislation, judged
by recent standards, the legislature of
1909 has done nothing marked. In
part this is due to the fact that the
large issues were early in the session
made matters for special consideration
at a special session. Views differ on
the work of the two investigating COM
mittees, but it generally is admitted
that the moral effect will be bench
cial. The testimony brought it home
to the people of Wisconsin that drastic
legislation was necessary to prevent
use of great wealth in politics. Wheth-
er any report Of the investigating COM
mittees will be the basis of any court
proceedings, time only will tell.
Little Liquor Legislation.
LEGISLATION which has attracted
wide attention has been that on the
LIQUOR question. Two major issues
were brought forward one from each
of the opposing sides. Led by the WIS
consin Antisaloon league, the tenn
perance people made their light Tor
the county option for the license Ques-
ton. The liquor interests brought for
ward the creation of the excise COM
mission as a proper solution. Both
failed of passage. In word, this leg
islature has left the liquor question al
most as it found it.
More Railroad Laws.
Tn the way of railroad legislation
the most important bill passed is
measure greatly extending the pow
ers of the railroad commission in that
if provides that no freight rate can be
increased in Wisconsin without a tnlr-
ty-Say notice to the commission ana
giving the commission power to sus-
pend such rates from operation ana
to compel the railroads upon hearing
to show the justice of the proposed IN
crease. The other railway Legislation
has been of a comparatively lnconse-
ouential character, being for the most
part what is known as service bllls.
Among important measures Is the Dill
which provides that where the dls-
lance between the car step and the
passenger platform exceeds nineteen
inches a portable step must be pro-
vided. Short cabooses are forbidden
bv another bill. Three measures en-
large the powers of the commission
as to the review of freight over
charges.
Few Trolley Bills.
Electric railway legislation was
marked rather by what failed than by
what passed. The passage early IN
the session of bill introduced by Mr..
Kalaher placing electric roads on the
same basis as steam roads, so far as
| the use of condemnation proceedings
are concerned, was a powerful argu-
ment against the granting of francnlse
rights under the cloak of eminent DO
main Another bill places the electric
railways under liabilities as regards
| negligence accident ssimilar to those
applying to steam roads. This means
| that electric railways hereafter will be
| liable under court decisions affecting
