The special legislative committee. on
water powers, drainage and forestry
decided to recommend for passage all
of the important bills offered to 1T.
They include the bill drafted by Sen
ator Husting chairman of the commit
tee, repeating all repealable fran
chises heretofore issued for the con-
struction of mill dams, comforting au-
thority on the state railroad commits
sion to issue permits for the construc-
ton Of dams, and imposing an annual
license fee of from ten cents to two
dollars on each horsepower developed
Among other bills favored are those
providing for an annual tax OF two
cents per acre on land In p counties
In northern Wisconsin for the pro-
lection of that territory against forest
fires, licensing of hunting guides, pro-
hibiting the setting of fires in the for
est districts during the summer
months and other measures to protect
and promote forestry.
The provisions OF the Stern child
labor bill, which was killed in the as
sembly are embodied In the Ballard
bills on the same subject, on which
favorable action has beeen taken.
The Republican party in Wisconsin
during the next few months will be
asked to take up as real party issue
the guaranty Of bank deposits. WIN
the virtual defeat IN the senate OF
Senator Ovens bill on that subject
has come a realization by the party
leaders that they cannot possibly
avoid the issue, and the Democratic
party also may take 1t up. 1he
Owen bill was sent to engrossmeht py
the close vote of IS to IL, Dut as II
takes a two-thirds' vote OF all mem
bers elected to pass banking DILL
under the constitution, the measure
has no chance of final passage "hen
it comes up in regular order
The bill undoubtedly Would De
passed If it came before the assembly,
and furthermore, Governor McGovern
is said to favor the principle anu
would sign 1t If he had a chance
The prophecy that the bank guar
anty idea would be political issue, as
uttered by Senator Owen IN the oe-
New state Corporations.
