Speaker Bancroft and Lieut.. Gov.
Strange Name Men To Consider
important Legislation
COUNTY NOT REPRESENTED
Neither Senator I T. Bishop Nor Assem-
hlyman w. NJ. Curtiss Given a
Place on any Of the Inap
Ipoltant Bodies

The makeup Of important committees
which are to formulate the legislation
to be taken up at the special session
of the legislature to be held next year
was completed by Lieutenant Governor
Strange and Speaker Of the Assembly
Bancroft at Madison on Tuesday night
and announcement of them made in the
formal meeting Of the two branches of
the legislature today. Assemblyman
Bancroft has named young men for all
committees while the president of the
senate has selected the older of the
members Of that body. Neither Sena
tor Bishop nor Assemblyman Curtiss of
this county is named on any of the
committees. It was expected that either
Bishop or Curtiss would draw a place
on the good roads committee on account
Of the activity shown in this county
in regard to building roads under state
supervision, but neither of them was
named.
The complete committees will be com
posed as follows:
Water power and dams-Senators
Bird, Husting and Krumrey; Assembly
men Bray, Hambrecht, Kubasta and
Thomas.
Industrial insurance-Senators San
born, Blaine and Fairchild; Assembly
men Cleary, ingalls,, Culbertson and
Egan.
Income tax-Senators Marsh, Hazel.
wood and Kleczka; Assemblymen Nc
Cornell, Georgi, Ingram and Towers.
Banks-Senators Owen, Martin and
Wright; Assemblymen Whittet, Whit
man, Crowell and Reader.
Good roads-Senators Browne, Burke
and Donald; Assemblymen Jones, Wei
lensga4 =, Chinook and Buslett.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Stout, Gaylord
and Pearson; Assemblymen LIE Roy,
onapple, Wehrwein and Haight.
One Of the most important commit
tees will be that on education as under
a resolution adopted by the legislature
this committee will have placed on it's
shoulders the task of devising new
educational system for the state which
will unite all the present conflicting in
terests under one head and put stop
to the wrangling which confronts the
legislature at every session.
In addition to these committees Gov.
Davidson will appoint another compos-
ed of two senators and three assembly
men to confer with the railroads re-
garding the suits brought against them
with a view of effecting settlement.
Now that the special committees are
complete it is expected that the chair
men will communicate with the mem
bers and arrange for meeting in Madi-
son for the purpose Of formulating plans
and laying out the work This will
probably be done some time next
month, though some may be called to-
gether sooner than that. Each of the
committees will, according to present
plans, hold meetings in various parts
of the state to take testimony and OBJ
tain the views Of all classes regarding
the matters IN which the particular
committee is interested.
These are strenuous times in TIN, ex-
ecutive chamber at Madison and rest
in the two houses of the legislature.
Between the teachers pension bill, the
Kleczka bill, and the pure food law,
Gov. Davidson has had to undergo a
fierce bombardment from the interests
on each side of these important meas
ures. The governor escaped from one
Tuesday by signing the pure food law.
This bill was opposed by various inter-
ests and was supported by Prof. Emery
and his corps of assistants in the dairy
and food department. In the hearing
which the governor gave the opponents
of the bill Monday Prof. Emery won
victory and convinced the governor
that the bill ought to be signed.
