a state marketing commission for the

postponed by the assembly by a vote
of 81 TO so. The bill was Governor

Vetoes Woman Suffrage Bill.
Governor McGoyern has vetoed the
Glenn bill permitting people to vote on
the subject of woman suffrage at the
fall election Of 1914. There is still an
other womans bill in the legislature,
which was laid on the table at the re-
quest of Assemblyman Hans NJ. Laur-
sen. 1t is now proposed TO take this
bill from the table and make it con-
form with the objection raised by the
governor in vetoing the Glenn bill.
The governor points out that the state
defeated the subject of woman suf-
frage by an overwhelming vote last
fall and suggests that to resubmit
precisely the same question TO the
voters at the approaching state cleo
ton cannot be justified.
IF there be a reconsideration of the
vote upon this matter taken last fall,
says the governor in his veto, lit
should be later and at an election
where the popular vote win be equally
large and inclusive No other course
will prove in the end either satisfac-
tory or defensible. There is nothing to
prevent the present legislature from
doing this by providing now for the re-
submission Of this question at the
presidential election in 1915. If this
bill so provided ] should sign it; but l
cannot approve it in its present form.
Mothers Pensions on Calendar.
On motion of Asemblyman John, l..
Schnitzler all bills providing for moth
ers pensions were placed on next
Thursdays calendar for consideration.
The Schnitzler bill provides for the
operation OF mothers pension system
under the supervision of the state
board OF control Its provisions are
broad, allowing the employment OF
nearly $50 officials to properly admin
lister the law. Judge Rosa of Beloit
and Assemblyman Hedding Of Milwau-
kee both have bills permitting the ad-
ministration of the law by the present
county and municipal Judges. The lat
ter bills carry practically no appropri-
atoms. The former will require an ap-
preparation OF nearly 100000. The
committee on public welfare, which
considered the bills. favors the Rosa
measure.
Judges Son Hit.
The assembly, after another deter
mined fight, passed the McComb bill
prohibiting the sons OF judges from
practicing before their fathers. In
three circuits in this state judges have
sons who are pfacticing attorneys be-
fore them. The bill has been opposed
at every stage, but now goes to the
senate
