semblyman Hanson led the opposition
to the measure, declaring that viewed
from business standpoint the whole
proposition gave out the odor of a
mackeral thrown on dry land to die.
In its platform the Republican party
pledged the passage of a bill provid-
ing for a state binder Irvine plant and
it was a foregone conclusion that the
bill would go through, no matter how
bitterly it was opposed by the Demo-
Gratis.
The assembly early in the session
talked itself out on the bill to create
a teachers retirement and pension
fund and the bill was eoncurred in
without word of debate. While this
is considered Republican measure it
does not have the support of all Of
the Republicans Assemblyman Frye
of Eau Claire was among the progress
sivcs who were against the bill.

Speaker Ingram has been special
izing in the role of peacemaker with
much success. The assembly was in a
hopeless tangle over the Hanson bill
dropping the bars relating TO the en-
ployment of child labor in canning
factories during the months of July
and August, the rush season. when he
came to the rescue with an amend
melt that cleared the skies His
amendment provides that no child
shall be employed more than u hours
a ~ and more that six DAYS week,
the total work for the week not to
exceed go hours, in the canning fac
tories of the state during the busy
season Of July and August. Again
the speaker appeared as the peacema-
ker when the Democrats demanded
that the so-ealled 20 per cent law be
wiped out This law compelled can
didates in the primary to poll 90
per cent party vote in order to get on
the ballot. Under the Mary Ann, or
second choice bill recently advanced,
the 20 per cent was reduced to 10 per
cent, but that was not satisfactory to
the Democrats, who charged that Sen
ator LaFollette had admitted in pub
lie campaign speeches that the law
was unjust. Speaker Ingram poured
oil on troubled waters with an amend
ment providing that in order to get
on the ballot at the general election
a candidate in the primary must re-
ceive votes double the number Of
signers required upon nomination pa
pers That was satisfactory to the
Democrats, and the amendment was
adopted.

The Wisconsin legislature resembles
a baseball team with its signals twist
ed whenever the Donald good roads
bill Is under consideration. This bill
is supposed to be a progressive mea-
sure representing the progressive
views of a progressive Republican
party, but, strange as it may seem,
Assemblyman Gettle of Rock county,
one of the most pronounced progress
sives in the legislature, is keeping up
bitter fight against It. In the face
of sharp arraignment by ''the gen.
tleman from Rock" however. the as
sembly concurred in the bill Mr.
Gettle Immediately moved for a re-
consideration of the vote, and his mo
ton will have to be acted upon before
the measure is sent to Governor Nc

GOOD FOR BOTH COUNTRIES

Two amendments to the Husting
bill relating to the election Of United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people adopted in the assembly
failed to make a hit in the senate
The senate refused to accept the
amendments and so informed the as
sembly in message. The lower
house, however, refused to recede
from its position and a committee on
conference will be appointed to dis
cuss the matter One of the amend
ments really strikes at the very pur-
pose of the bill and defeats the "di-
rect" election idea 1t provides that
a candidate for the state legislature
shall retain the right to vote for a
party candidate even if the popular
choice Of the people is clearly defined
at the polls. 1t was impossible TO get
the bill through the assembly without
this amendment tackled onto it, but
the senate promptly turned down the
bill in fits amended form.

One Of the few remaining excise
bills before the assembly is the Han
son bill providing that male students
entering the University of Wisconsin
shall sign a pledge to abstain from the
use of strong drinks during the uni
versity course. The penalty for vio-
lating the pledge is expulsion from
the university. The bill was reported
out by the committee on excise and
fees. While the legislature may try
to have fun with the bill 1t is a GER
tainty that the measure will be killed.
Another and important bill relating to
the liqucr traffic has been killed. 1t
is the Gettls bill authorizing the ap-
pointment of special counsel TO act in
the place of district attorneys who re-
fuse to enforce the excise laws.

The senate refused TO concur In the
Crowell bill, authorizing state banks
to qualify as repositories OF postal
savings. The federal law requires
state banks to put u? certain securi-
ties to qualify as such repositories.
Senator Whitehead OF GAINESVILLE said
he believes state banks 81 luld be per
mitted to become deposito les of these
funds because it would tend to keep
postal savings in the communities
depositine them and thus benefit such
communities. Senator Bosshard OPP
posed the bill on the ground that 1t

ferred creditor of a bank and would
tend to lessen the security now af-
forded depositors of such bank.

REGARDING THE COTTON MAR
kir

Probably never before, at lonst not
IN the last few years. have the farmers
of the South been confronted with
such problem. In the marketing Of
the cotton crop, that is now confront
ing them. Under gradual, but steady
pressure. the price of cotton has
aaggcd from II cents IA few months
ago, until today 1t Is quoted at but
little better than . cents, the lowest
price paid IN many years.
Many conferences have been held
to suggest mcnnH OF boosting the price
to such point where the cotton
grower may roalizc u decent profit
out Of his product The governors
from nine cotton growing states
have been IN conference at New or
leans 10 suggest some immediate rem
ody for the present conditions
SO tar, an OF those conferences have
resulted In the grower being advised
to hold his cotton untll the market
riscs, which exports say is sure to
happen. This would be final solu-
ton OF the prohlem but such u sou-
ton is hardly feasible THIS year be-
cause the greater majority OF cotton

COLLECTED PRICE
OF PAIR OF SHOES
Chased Customer Clear Over to the
Northwestern Tracks to
Get Change.

Quite little excitement was
caused Friday afternoon when a
we'll known local character attempts
ed to steal pair of shoes from the
Chas. T. Smith shoe store. The gen
tleman with the desire for a new
pair of shoes it seems had been
standing near one Of the bargain
displays In front Of the store. Moth
ing was thought Of his presence
there but just as he left one OF the
clerks noticed that he carried a pair
OF shoes with him. The attention
Of the head clerk was called to the
fact at once by the young man who
witnessed the theft. The head
clerk Is Mason Isham. Mr.. Isham
prides himself on his ability to cut
on one hundred yards in something
like ten fat. AS this was an oppof-
tunity to display his great speed he
was nothing loath. So hurriedly
finding his cap the head clerk start
ed in pursuit OF the thief. However.
In spite of the rapid strides taken
by the clerk, the recovery OF the
stolen property was not so easily ac-
complished. AZ soon az Mr.. Isham
appeared on the street the fellow
with the shoes saw him and must
have known what he was after. No
doubt he had heard Of the great
speed OF the clerk, as he was flying
down the street at a pace that would
have discouraged any one but a
Marathon sprinter. For about three
blocks the clerk chased the man
with no gain on either side. The
shoeman's ability and training. how
ever, became evident and by the
time they had raced over the entire
railroad yards the light fingered
gentleman halted. He stopped near
the Northwestern depot and inquir-
ed where Mr.. Isham was going. The
clerk informed him of his mission
and thereupon the shoe smuggler IL
CURED as to the worth Of the shoes
and was told that they were worth
two dollars and fifty-five cents. He
then dug into his pocket and pulled
out roll from which he paid the
amount. After this exhibition the
friends Of the shoe salesman In the
Smith store retain no doubt of his
ability as a racer.
