Nebraska State Journal: The great
est danger to the commission plan Of
municipal government now is its
overwhelming popularity. When a
city like Buffalo. N. T., votes bv a
large majority to ask the legislature
for authority to change the charter.
one begins to realize that the adoption
of the new clothing may in many
cases come far in advance of the
spiritual regeneration that is needed
to make any plan Of government work
with success. A casual view of the

with the impression that 1t will be

WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
HOLD "A SPECIAL SESSION
SoIons Vote to Continue Meeting of
1909 for Purpose of Framing
Laws on Many Sub
iects.

Madison.-The Wisconsin legislature
will meet in special session for the
now before the legislature. The issues
are: Income tax, insurance of bank
deposits, state industrial insurance
and taxation of water powers.
The concurrence in the senate
amendment Wednesday for the spe-
cial session resolution was by viva
voce vote.
The special session of the legisla-
ture will be held next January. The
amendment offered by Assemblyman
Mcconnell to refer these matters to
the proper state authorities was lost.
The motion to hold the question over
for further consideration was defeat
ed, and finally by concurring in the
amendment the assembly voted for a
special session.
Mr.. Ingram said that the best way
to dispose of the matter was to lay it
upon the table as no other agreement
seemed possible. He opposed the spe-
cial session idea, saying that in 60
years there had been but six special
sessions, list of which was given. He
said he was in sympathy with the po-
sition of the governor in believing that
no special session is necessary and
that work could be done speedily and
at once.
Mr.. Cleary took exception to several
of his remarks. The governor, he
said, believed that if it was possible
to clean up the work, it should be
done; otherwise these matters ought
to be taken up in special session; that
the four questions were the biggest
propositions which have confronted
any legislature and must be given the
fullest discussion. The people wanted
the legislators, he said, to do their
duty not hurriedly but intelligently
He suggested that action be deferred
for few weeks.
