The legislature appropriated $780,
100000 In many instances the maxi.

likely that all of the money will be
used, in fact, it is estimate that prob
ably $2.O09,000 of the total viii not
be used. Over $4,000 COZ is set aside
for the state charitable and penal in

Stormy Scenes Enacted in Both Houses

Workmen's Compensation Act and
Mothers Pension Bill Are Notable
Achievements.
Madison, Wis. Aug. 5.-The Wis
consin legislature has closed its rec
ord breaking session Of more than 200
days. A survey of the work accom-
plished shows that the Republican
party was faithful, with one enc ex-
ception. to its platform pledges. How
ever, it was distinctly session of
achievement. and the work accom-
plished, 10 spite Of factional strife
and pickering within the Republican
ranks. compares fayorably with the
record of other legislatures.
Form early in the session until the
close wac clouds lowered over both
houses. The Ekern-AIcGoyern CON
troversy was intensely bitter This in
cident did more to delay legislation
and prolong the session than all of
the opposition TO all of the bills that
were introduced and considered. What
capital was made by the opposing
forces. the McGovern men on one side
and the La Toilette men on the other,
is matter Of speculation. The fight
on the part OF the governor to remove
Ekern for political activity was taken
10 the courts and Ekern won. In that
respect 1t was distinct victory for
Ekern. who now holds his position I'M
disturbed. McGovern stuck close to
the ship throughout the session and
his followers worked hard for the
character Of the legislation that the
party pledged itself to enact. The
governor was determined 10 keep his
record clean as governor. and that he
succeeded in doing SO, is admitted by
the anti-McGovern members. That
the governor gained strength IN the
legislature Is shown by the acts OF
the lower house during the closing
days on bills in which McGovern was
especially Interested. The McGoyern
men insist that the governor has gain
ed ground, politically, and that he IS
stronger today than al any time in
his public career in the state. The
opposition takes a very different view
Of the situation. The verdict. how
ever. rests with the people Of the
state. and the real significance of the
McGovern strength as against the
strength OF those who are opposed to
him win not be known until the next
election.

Record Breaking Session.

One Of the governors notable fac
tional victories occurred when the as
sembly killed bill to appropriate
$4,000 TO pay Mr., Ekern's attorneys
for his defense. The original bill car
ried an appropriation OF $4,000, but
the amount was cut In two and the
bin was then passed in the senate,
which remained friendly to Ekern
throughout his sqaubble with the gov
ernor The measure caused slight
furry iE the house and was then Killed.
Earlier In the session the governor
never showed as much strength In
the house as he did near the close
The record breaking session was not

that the legislature was forced to con-

achievements, These measures with
the mothers pension fund act and the
minimum wage form the greatest
legislation considered at this session.
AS was anticipated. the waterpower
bill developed the most notable fight.
In this measure there was a question
of public policy and principle at stake,
The underlying principle was the
right OF future state ownership on
terms which would not permit of
speculative values being ultimately al
lowed for the powers. II was a hard
fight between the state and the water
power men and the state won out.
Both houses were strongly in favor
