SOLONS ASSEMBLE
IN EXTRA SESSION
Meet at Madison for Enactment
OF Urgency Legislation.
BEAT INCOME TAX REPEAL
Move to KIN New State Law Voted
Down in Both Houses-Governor
Presents Message With Recora-
mendations at Joint Session.

Madison.-Unusual activity char
acterized the opening of the special
session Of the legislature on April
80, when Assemblyman Chauncey. W.
4okey in the house and Senator H.
H Bodenstab in the senate introduc-
ed resolutions requesting that the
governor call another special session
immediately at the close of the pres
ent sitting to repeal the income tax
law.
IN each house the resolution was
defeated on points of order. Speaker
ingram and Lieut.. Gov. Morris each
held that the resolutions were not
germane to the call for the special
session. The speaker was sustained
oy vote of 81 to II, and Lieut..
Gov. Morris by a vote of 20 to s.
The two houses met at 8 O'Clock
ana IN the organization both elected
the former officers. Resolutions
were introduced which provided that
the rules of the 1911 legislature be
ADOPTED; that all rules requiring the
lapse Of any time or delay in any
action be repealed; that no notice Of
hearings before committees shall be
required; that each committee shall
report all matters referred to it at
the next recOnvening of the assem-
Oily after such reference, and that
all matters pending, not in commit
tee, shall be placed on each days
calendar.
Gov. McGovern appeared before
the two houses in joint session in
the assembly chamber and delivered
his message.
The Importance of urgency legis-
lation in ten special subjects was
laid before the lawmakers by the
governor. The executive noted with
regret the necessity of calling them
from their daily duties to take up
the burdens of state, and referred to
their work in the 1911 session as
transcending in Importance" the
achievements of any preceding body
The emergency, however, demanded
the sacrifice.
The governor especially recon-
mended legislation to make a relief
appropriation for Black River Falls,
to provide for improvement of the
Portage levee system, to enact wa
ter power law, to amend the election
laws, and to enact fish and game leg
islation. The state could afford to be
liberal with Black River Falls, he
said.
The message contains no word
with reference to the income tax, for
the obvious reason that Gov Nc
Govern did not include that topic in
his call.
Bills were introduced in the two
houses covering the subjects con-
tanned in the call for the special ses-
sion.
In addition to these, honpartisan
bills were introduced providing for
fusion tickets in both municipal and
county elections

VOTE SIO6,0O0 FOR
BLACK RIVER FALLS
Sum Is Finally Agreed upon by
Legislative Conference.
N0k-PARTISAN BILL PASSES
Election Measure Affecting Cities
Throughout State Wins in Senate
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Worked
Hard for Its Defeat.

Madison.-Blaek River Falls viii
receive a food fund of s106 600.
This amount was agreed upon by
the conference committee appointed
by the two houses. The compromise
agreed upon left the appropriation
Of $1,000, as provided in bill No.
ia, as it was. This reimburses the
relief committee for money expend-
ed in construction work and for fill
ing in overlooked lands, so they will
not be a menace to the community's
health. The cut by the finance com
mittee of the appropriation in No.
ia of S65,000 to $4,000 was al
lowed to stand.
The assembly originally voted
S1S6,000, and the senate cut this
amount to $4,000 The assembly
rejected the amendments of the SEN
ate, and the appropriation was ad-
lusted by conference, the committee
advising SS5, 200 instead of $4,000
for sanitary purposes and the relief
Of restitution and $1,000 for drain
age purposes.
1t is generally felt that with the
appropriation made, the situation at
Black River Falls can be cleared up
and the people of that city put fairly
on their feet.
The nonpartisan victory was made
complete and the fusion ticket for all
larger cities of the state at the pri-
maries and general elections finally
approved, when the senate session
cOncurred in the Stern nonpartisan
measure, which had been passed by
the assembly after a hot legislative
conflict. The assembly passed the
bill by vote of II to IA.
Every means in their power to
staye off defeat were resorted to by
the socialistic delegation, but the mi
nority movement was unsuccessful.
The bill as passed is the substitute
amendment introduced by A. H.
Long, is statewide in its application
and will take effect in all cities hav-
ing primary elections. Smaller NUM-
cipalities, where candidates are in
dorsed through nomination papers,
are not included
After considerable discussion the
senate concurred in the assembly bill
appropriating $4,000 to be used in
repairing the levees on the WiscOn-
sin and Fox rivers at Portage. A
second bill appropriating $4,000 to
cover the expenses of a committee
of three members to be appointed
by the governor to investigate the
situation and recommend a plan for
permanently improving the Ievees
was also approved.
The action taken by the senate on
these measures for the benefit of the
city of Portage is final, and they now
go to the governor for his approval.

WOULD GIVE ONLY $4,000
Finance Committee Advises LegisIa-
ture to Cut Proposed Relief Fund
for Black River Falls.

Madison.-The finance committee
gave the Black River Falls people
a severe shock when the bill pro-
viding for an appropriation of $780,
600 was amended to appropriate but
$4,000. The measure appropriating
$4,000 for repairing the Portage
levee system was approved and ST.
500 for an investigating commission
to be appointed by the governor will
be recommended.
Members of the committee in ex-
PLANTATION of the cut in the appro-
priation said that $4,000 was shown
to be sufficient in everything but re-
placing the ground washed away
where the business portion formerly
stood. This, it was said, ought not
to be required of the state.
