After a long discussion the Dill pro-
viding that state aid to county fair
associations shall not exceed so per
cent. of the premiums was laid over
until later because the bill in its pres
ent form appears to include race
purses under the head of premiums.
Stirring scenes and sensational
debate marked the session of
| the assembly Assemblyman Hanson
declared that the binder Irvine prop
osition glistened and had the odor of
| a dead mackerel thrown upon dry
land. 1t was a bad proposition from
| any point of view.
Assemblyman Gettle charged that
| the Donald good roads bill was the
| work of two professional road build
ers and that the people Of Wisconsin
would repudiate it.
| Assemblyman Perry spoke against
the Bodenstab bill to increase the
salaries of civil court judges in Mil
waukee from $4,000 to $4,000 year,
and introduced an amendment keep
| ing the salaries at the present figure
of $4,000. The amendment was adopt
ed Those who spoke for the salary
increase in the bill, which was ad-
vanced to engrossment, favored ii he
cause of the work that had been add
ed to these judgeships.
Despite strenuous opposition the
binder Irvine bill and the good roads
bill were concurred in.
THE Donald good roads BILL" de
! clared Assemblyman Gettle, lis the
work Of two professional road build
ers. 1t does not represent the views
of either house of this Legislature and
it. is not what the people want. 1t
has been framed in the interest of
individuals and not in the interest of
good roads. It is unjust in its con-
ceptiOn, and we will hear from the
people of the state if it is enacted
| into law The views of the committee
were disregarded and the members of
this assembly ate out Of the hands of
two senators in acting upon this bill. -
After the bill was concurred in,
Assemblyman Gettle moved that the
assembly reconsider it's action. His
motion for reconsideration will be
acted upon later.
The binder Irvine bill started lot
of fireworks. Assemblyman Hanson
led the opposition, declaring that the
| proposition calls for a total appropria-
ton Of $450,000, and viewed from a
business standpoint it is a bad prop
osition. Assemblyman Fisher at
tempted to offer an amendment to
submit this question to a vote of the
people, but Speaker Ingram ruled
that Mr.. Fishers amendment came
too late and he was not permitted to
offer it. Assemblyman Hanson's mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was concurred in was imme
diately acted upon and the assembly
refused to reconsider
The big fight over the Hanson bill
to drop the bars relating to the en-
ployment of child labor in canning
factories in the months of July and
August was disposed of when Speaker
Migrants amendment was adopted
This amendment provides that child
labor may be employed not more than
IL hours a day and not more than six
days a week, the total work in one
week not to exceed so hours.

Civil War Pageant for State Fair.
If plan, proposed at the meeting
of the state fair board by Francis A.
Cannon, is carried out, a grand
pageant or spectacle, representative
of some phase of the Civil war. will
be one of the most prominent fea-
lures of the fair this year.
Mr.. Cannon, who is a member of
the committee on attractions, said
CAS- this is the tiftieth anniversary
Of the Civil war, it seems to me that
pageant or spectacle could be
given which would meet with the ap-
prevail of all
We could possibly arrange to re-
produce some battle of the war.
There are many ways in which it
could be worked out 1t would not
only have the merit of being an at
traction of the most novel character,
but it would necessarily be educa-
tional as we'll as entertaining" The
board approved the idea No definite
action was taken with reference to
the aeroplane flight other than
that 1t was fully approved. 1t was
decided to allow $4,000 to be ex-
pended for this feature Roy Knab-
enshue made a proposition to the
board for flight, but as negotiations
are under way with several other avia-
| tors, no action was taken.
