To Raise State Loans.

The resolution for a constitutional
amendment to permit the State to in
cur a funded Indebtedness was pre-
sented by Senator BraZen in the Sen
ate. This plan to allow the State to
raise money by loans upon State bonds
or certificates of Indebtedness has been
under consideration for many years.
and the adoption of such an amend
ment is said to be absolutely neces-
Sary If plans for the development of
the State are to be carried out. Under
the constitutional limitation fixed by
the constitutional convention sitting six
ty years ago, the State is prohibited
from mourning any Indebtedness of any
character i'll excess of 100000. The
resolution of Mr. BraZeau simply
changes the section of the constitution
in which this limitation is included, 50
as to permit loans by the State to the
extent of / per cent of the assessed
valuation of the Sta~e. That valuation
at the present time is $2,419, 561, 1856, so
that if the constitutional amendment
of Mr.. BraZeau is finally adopted, State
loans may be contracted to the amount.
in round figures, of $25,000,000. Under
the terms of the BraZeau resolution
State bonds may be issued for a term
of fifty years.

WISCONSIN SOLONS.
Tax Vehicle Owners.


Two bills of particular interest to
automobile drivers, one of the meas
ures also being of interest to the own
erS of any kind of vehicle, whether it
be four-hOrse dray or a pony cart.
were introduced in the Assembly the
other day. j. Z. Mcconnell. of La
Crosse, put in a bill which gives CON-
mon councils authority in their own
discretion to license owners of all
kinds of vehicles. The Il cory of the
bill is that owners of vehicles use the
public streets more than any other
class and that therefore they should
be assessed to a greater extent than
the pedestrian. A bill which will bring
100000 into the State treasury to be
used for improvements of public high
ways was introduced by Assemblyman
William ]. Bichler of Ozaukee County.
The Bichler bill provides for the an
nual registration of automobiles and
motor cycles. Under the new bill as
at the present time, the administra-
ton of the law is under the control
of the Secretary of the State, which
grants certificates upon proper appli-
cation and detailed description of the
vehicle. The application fee varies ac-
cording to the horse power of the ma
chine. Every automobile under five
horse power pays an annual fee of So;
over and less than 10 horse power,
$40; 80 cents for each horse power
exceeding 10. Persons failing to Sc
cure certificates of registration may be
fined not less than $50 nor more than
500.

The local option campaign to do away

started by the Oshkosh Ministerial As
ISOLATION and efforts are being made to
have the question submitted to the voters
al the municipal election next April. In
ten of the Protestant churches in the
city on Sunday the pastors brought up
the subject and cards were handed out
asking for signatures of those willing to
sign petition for local option. The
reasons cards were given out in place of
the petitions was in order to make the
matter valid, it being feared the matter
would not be valid if the petitions were
signed on Sunday. The pastors also re-
quested church members to write letters
TO the representatives in Madison, urging
them to support the county option bill
now under consideration.
