A young man was riding in an omDi-

Debate Over Old Horses.

Mr. Leuch's bill relating to the sale
and transportation of certain animals
provided a slight ripple on the other
wise placid surface of recent House
session. The cause was the question of
whether the state had right to ree-
gate wornout and old animals, espe-
cially horses, to the boneyards. The
farmers were there with "hot" argu-
ments against the bill, especially en-
phasiZing the point it was hard mat
ter to determine whether an animal is
worthless and should be killed when it
is WORKOUT and old. The bill brought
out the hint that the practice of re-
referring bills to various committees to
save them from death as has been the
habit so far this session would not be
countenanced to any great extent here
after The bill was indefinitely post
poned.

No EarIy Adiourn-ant

Another interesting story relating to
recent session has it that the Joint
resolution providing for early adjourn
ment and special session Jan. l, at
which special committees shall report
on the -four big bills" after research
extending from the time of adjourn
ment to the time of the special session.
will be withdrawn. This resolution
was introduced into the lower house
by NJ. j. Clearly. Assembly chairman
of the joint steering committee. and by
Senator \. w. Sanborn in the upper
branch. 1t provides for the appoint
ment of four special joint committees
which are to take up the subjects Of
the income tax, good roads, banking
laws and Industrial insurance. and
make complete reports to the Legisla-
ture at special session to be called
for Jan. l. 1t is the understanding
that the committees are to be armed
with complete bills on their respective
subjects at the time of the special SEES
sion. There has been so much opposi-
ton to the idea that it is understood
the resolution will be withdrawn. The
theory of the opponents is that the
members would be no better equipped
to consider the important legislation
next January than they will be in the
closing days of the present session. As
a matter of fact it is pretty generally
known that most of the so-called ''big
bills are already framed in the best
manner that the best minds ION the
hill'' knew how to frame them.

Urges Change In Inheritance Law.

Urges Change In Inheritance Law.
Six, Inheritance tax bills came up for
hearing the other afternoon before the
Assembly and Senate committees on
taxation sitting in joint session As
sistant District Attorney Norman L
Baker of Milwaukee made an argument
for the bill which gives to each county
half the inheritance tax collected with
in its boundaries. The law as it now
stands allows each county per cent of
the total for the year up to $4,000
and beyond that figure there is down
ward sliding scale. Milwaukee, of
course, furnishes by far the greatest
tax of this nature to the state and
Mr.. Baker argued that the states me-
tropolis should have the benefit of half
the great sum. He showed that since
the law became effective there had been
collected in the state at large a total of
81, 262, 2SO.S6. OF this great sum Mil
waukee County collected $685., 269.SO.
Mr.. Baker took occasion to attack the
bill of Merlin Hull, which provides
that the whole inheritance tax shall be
turned into the common school fund
He showed how Milwaukee would get
even worse treatment under this bill
than under the present law.

Sweet bells Of peace shall ring its chime,
Its days shall all be holy time.

SEGREGATION Is LOST.
Women Win Fight Before Education
Committee of Legislature


Predictions came true the other night
when Madison society women and scores
of University of Wisconsin co-eds took
places in the large room given over to
the hearing before the joint education
committees on bill PTS by Senator J. H.
Stout of Menominee which places women
students at the university on the same
footing as men. Mrs. Helen Remington
DIN made a strong appeal for the bill
and gave eleven reasons for its passage,
the most important being the influence
which it would have on the secondary
schools if it were known that under the
present regime at Wisconsin it would be
impossible for women to study certain
branches on an equal footing with men.
Magnus Swenson, a university regent,
also favored the bill and later he sup
ported a second measure intended TO aid
the woman at the university providing
for the appointment of at least two or
three women regents. The requirement
now is that one member of the board
must be a woman. Mr.. Swenson made
the suggestion that one of the women
regents should live at Madison and thus
be in a condition to study local condi-
tons as regards the attendance of women
at the university. President Charles r.
Van Hise was in attendance at the meet
ing but did little more than say that the
whole segregation argument had arisen
over a very mild plan of his to establish
special classes for women in certain
branches of political economy in which
he thought they would be particularly in
terested. The meeting closed with an
address by John NJ. Olin in favor of
the bill requiring that a certain proper
ton of the school board in cities of the
second, third and fourth classes must be

Wireless on Moving Trains.

An experiment has been made with
wireless telegraphy on moving trains run
ming between Buffalo and Chicago on the
Lake Shore road. There were stations at
Cleveland, Toledo. Elkhart and Chicago,
and the passenger agent at Cleveland is
quoted as saying that the system worked
beautifully 1t is thought that by this
means collisions could be avoided and
stations kept informed of the exact loca-
ton of all trains at all times. The APP
paratus installed it is said, would not in
terfere with the working of telephone or
