WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
FIGHT FOR TWINE PLANT
Farmers Want Prison Factory Com
pleted While City Members OPP
pose the Measures-Four
Bills on Calendar.

Madison.-The tremendous pressure
brought to bear against the COM
pletion of the binder Irvine plant
at the state prison is on in the as
sembly. Four bills relating to the
plant were on the calendar, all the
bills bearing ten recommendations of
the claims committee against complet-
ing the plant.
The farmer members fought with
might and main against following the
committees wishes, their contention
being that the farmers of Wisconsin
wanted the plant finished and that
they were confident that they could
get their twine at lower price than
now is paid to the Harvester trust
Assemblyman L. C. Whittet of Ed
gerton was the able defender of the
claims committee on the assembly
floor. He said that the committees
recommendation against the plant was
the result Of mature consideration. He
read reports of similar plants in other
states to bear out his statement that
success would be very doubtful.
Mr.. Whittet took occasion to defend
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION of Milwaukee by denying re-
ports that the association in it's zeal
to kill the plant, sought to effect a
trade with the claims committee by
receding from it's insistence of $780,
900 for the university extension divis-
ion.
Among those who spoke for the
plant were Messrs. Hull and gilbert
son, while Buslett made speech
against it. Mr.. Ingram was in the
chair during the debate and thus was
unable to speak.

Why Church Bells Any More?

Every once in a while discussion
arises as to the use of church bells.
Their utility was long ago given up.
Their beauty is still defended by some.
But in the end the discussion comes
back to the question of location. In
the country, where distances are long
and sounds are softened. a church bell
is still enjoyable. But in city street,
where hundreds and thousands are
close by, the sound is to most Of them
q noisy clangor.

Storm of Protest from Hunters.

Storm OF Protest from Hunters.
The new fish and game law which
was reported makes good sized
book, covering about everything in
the way of game fish or feathered and
fur bearing creatures. The most i'm
portant provision to hundreds of hunt
ers is that limiting the number of
deer which may be killed by any one
sportsman to one each. This raised a
storm of protests, but the fish and
game committee, after giving the mat
ter careful consideration, decided that
one was enough. This will not offer
any great inducement to nonresident
hunters to come hunting in Wiscon-
sin, as, after their license and travel
ing expenses are paid, their one deer
Will have cost them a pretty penny.
The game warden is to be appointed
by the governor as before, but it is
provided he shall hold office for two
years unless sooner removed by the
governor for misconduct or neglect of
duty" He will have to execute to the
state bond of $4,000, the bond to be
approved by the governor, and each
of the deputy wardens will have to
execute bond of $3.50.

Jones Islanders Lose in Senate.

The senate killed the Bodenstab BILL
abolishing the right of a second trial
in an action of ejectment. Senator
Bodenstab was not present and though
some of his friends tried to save the
bill they were unsuccessful. Senator
Owen, who is strongly opposed to the
bill, insisted on it's being killed. 1t is
expected that Senator Bodenstab will
try to have the measure revived when
he arrives. The bill is especially i'm
portant to the so-called "squatters" on
Jones island in Milwaukee and the
Illinois Steel Company which has for
several years been trying to eject
them from their homes. So far the
residents of the island have been sue
cessful in defending their titles to
their homes, but under the present
law the steel company has the right
of a second trial in each case and is
expected to avail itself of that right,
thus putting the Jones islanders to
the burden of two trials.
