Senators Have Odd Offices.

State senators at present have light,
portable offices, with collapsible trans
parent tops and sides, which they
erect wherever and whenever neces-
sity requires. Immediately after the
senate adjourned score of solons
erected their novel little Offices in the
supreme court room, where the SEN
ate is now temporarily holding it's
daily sessions, and spreading out
their bills, papers, letters and other
personal effects, proceeded to look
over their mail, write letters, draft
resolutions and bills and perform their
other sundry legislative duties.
Postmaster Williams in the mean
time carried the senate postoffice
around in his arms, delivering letters
and other mail to the Industrious but
dignified solons. These temporary Of
fees were used because the perma-
nent private rooms of the senators are
not yet ready for occupancy, being
like the permanent chamber Of the
senate, in the possession of carpen-
ters, plasterers, painters and other
busy and noisy artisans. Senator Gay
lord erected his little Office next to
that of Comrade Senator Zophy.
Senator Blaine and Senator Donald
carried on friendly chat from adjoin-
ing Offices.
Senators True, Thomas and James,
as neighbors, talked about the effect
Of last summers drought on the
hay crop in their respective dis
tricts; Senators Husting and Ran
dolph laughed over the near-coup of
their Democratic brethren in the as
sembly, and Senators Sanborn and
Whitehead ever and anon furtively
glanced at each other from opposite
sides of the chamber to see what the
other was fixing up to pull off at a
future session.

Wants Stephenson Report Certified.

Wants Stephenson Report Certified.
First steps toward securing the GER
LITIGATION of the 'anti-Stephenson" re-
port to the United States senate have
been taken in the senate, Senator
Paul Husting having introduced res
olution to that effect. The resolution
will lie over under the rules for 48
hours, and as adjournment was taken
for over Sunday, it will not come up
again for few days unless the rules
are suspended This latter course,
however, is not likely to be taken.
Adoption of the principle, at least,
of the resolution is expected, although
the wording may be changed in some
respects.
Assemblyman Merlin Hull of Black
River Falls believes that the complete
record of every member of the legisla-
ture from the time he takes his seat
until adjournment should be available
to the public To that end he has in
troduced in the assembly bill and a
resolution under which every action
of a member in committees would be
recorded. This report would include
notation as to the time and place of
each hearing, attendance on commit
tee meetings, the vote of each mem
Der in committee on each measure
that comes before it. the names of
persons who appear before each COIN
mittee and those of their employers
in fact every conceivable matter that
might go into such a record. All com
mittee hearings, it is proposed, shall
be open to the public, and the record
which is kept to be filed along with
the measure to which it pertains when
that measure is submitted to the leg
islature by the committee.
The resolution provides for immedl-
ate action to amend the rules and the
bill would place the same provisions
upon the statute books, where they
could not be easily suspended.
Prominent among the score of bills
offered in the assembly was one by
Mr.. Bichler to abolish the tuberculin
test of cattle before sale, which is now
required by law. This bill is expected
to provoke considerable discussion.

but to Banking Commissioner M. C.
Bergh himself when Governor Mccoy
ern's appointment of A. E. Koult Of
Kenosha in Mr.. Bergh's place was an
nounced. The present commissioners

nature OF a displacement. 1t is de-

INSURANCE BILL
OPPOSED BY MANY
Is Attacked Because of Its Com
mission Feature.
OWEN DEFIES ANY MEMBER
To Say He Would Be Willing to AboI-
ish Railroad and Tax Commissions
and Declared Workmen's Com
pensation Idea Experiment.

Madison.-At the hearing on the in
dustrial insurance bill, discovery was
made that much opposition has risen
to the measure because it creates a
commission to administer the compen-
sation provisions. The feeling for
awhile was quite general that it might
even be defeated through prejudice
against this feature. Thereupon Sena-
tor w C. Owen of Maiden Rock, who
was in the chair, took the floor and Sc
verely denounced those persons (most-
ly Democrats) who were presumed to
take this view of the bill. He detied
any member to stand up and say he
would be willing to vote to abolish the
railroad or tax commissions and de-
clared that the idea as applied to
workmen's compensation was only ex-
perimental, and if it proved to be mad
equate the Republican majority would
gladly favor change.

German System Good.

Germany, said Mr.. Ingalls,, has no
rival in the industrial war, and that
country has the most advanced sys-
tenn of workmen's compensation. In
that country the employee does not
contribute to the accident feature, and
that same theory is presented in the
bill before the Wisconsin legislature.
In response to a query by Assembly
man Gettle, Mr.. Ingalls, said that per-
sons afflicted with Occupation dis
eases might come within the bene-
fits of the act, although they are not
included in the present bill.

Home RuIe for Cities.

Rome Hule tor CItISS'
Contrary to previous legislatures,
the present body seems disposed to
push the home rule for cities" propa-
ganda, and for that reason the flood
of legislation in behalf of the city of
Milwaukee may go through for the
most part. Heretofore, this kind of
business has been a great cause OF
delay, as the Milwaukee members
were strong enough to make trouble
if they cared to. The present mem
bership is likely to give Milwaukee
about everything it wants in the way
of special laws, on the theory that
the city can fight it out better than
the legislature. Thus the progress of
legislation for the state at large has
been quickened.
Speaker Ingram's warning that the
bars are to be let down soon on new
bills has spurred the members on to
fresh efforts, as it is expected that
the curtailment resolution may take
effect as early as the end of this
week. Nothing can be really accom-
plished until this is done.
Additions to the present law per-
hitting cities of the state to inaugu-
rate the commission form of govern
ment are proposed in bill introduced
in the assembly by Assemblyman j.
c. Gilbertson of Eau Claire.

Provides for Recall.


The bill would introduce into the
law provisions for the initiative, ref
erendum and recall, the lack of which
heretofore has been the chief source
Of objection TO the plan. 1t is with
the expectation that this amendment
would be passed at this session that
several Wisconsin cities recently be-
gan agitation for the adoption of the
new form, and there is little doubt OF
it's passage.
The Gilbertson bill also proposes a
straight reduction of $1,000 in the sal
aries provided in the present law, eX-
cept in cities of the first class, and
from the sixth class on, and as Mil
waukee is the only city of the first
class, only those cities in which the
institution of the plan is proposed will
be affected by this amendment. The
schedule of reduction follows in part:
Second class cities-Mayor from $4,
500 to $4,000; councilmen from $4,000
to $4,000
Third class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000; councilmen from $500 to
$4,000
Fourth class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$780, councilmen from $4,000 to
1000
Fifth class-Mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000; councilmen from $4,000 to
81, 500.
In the remaining classifications the
cut proposed is in slightly smaller pro-
portion.
