Aims Blow at University.
Senator Timothy Burke of Green
Bay is opposed to the University of
Wisconsin competing with the farm
ors in the selling Of milk and the
manufacture of butter. In a bill of
five lines introduced in the senate he
seeks to do away with this eompeti-
ton. His bill provides that the Uni
versity of Wisconsin is hereby prohib-
tied from purchasing milk for other
than experimental and educational
purposes. ANY surplus creamery
products of the University of WiscoE
sin shall be sold and disposed of to the
several state institutions"
In the city OF Madison a big milk
and cream trade has been built up by
the dairy school of the university. In
many. sections of the state university
butter is sold at high figure. Sem
ator Burke claims that this competi-
ton with the dairymen should be pro
hibited and that the university should
not purchase milk from the farmers of
Dane county for the purpose of making
butter for sale.
Spring Shooting Bil Killed.

assembly killed the Litza bill to per-
nit spring shooting IN the state. For
uerIy this measure has caused the hot
test discussion. but, with the exception
of Assemblyman Paul. the committee
on llsa and game reported unanimous
Nv against it. The Hull anti-discrimi-
nation bill, which has been defeated
in three past sessions, has passed the
house with hardly dissenting vote.
TO Check Rutolsts' Speed.
A UNIQUE method Of preventing auto
lists from. speeding faster than the law
allows is rcorporated in the Richard
son bill, which provides that no auto
mobiles shall be sold in the state with
p power that viii carry the car faster
than % miles an hour. Richardson is
2 farmer, and farmers complain that
the speeding of cars by joy-riders re
suit in accidents and are damaging to
the roads. The provisions of the bill
do moi apply to automobiles which are
already owned in the state nor to cars
operated by nonrestdents. Evidently
Mr.. Richardson intends that police Off
GERS a7d surgeons win be allowed to
operate cars that viii so faster than
the law allows, for he excerpts these
two olasscs from the provisions of the
bill
Senator Zophy Of Milwaukee, the
lone Socialist senator in the upper
house win ask unanimous consent to
Introduce a bill requiring all persons
pleading guilty to a crime to permit
suaiciaut number of witnesses to be
sworn 80 substaRtiate the plea. His
bill is said to be instigated as the re
suit of recent Dane county case.
"Dogskin" Johnson pleaded guilty to
murder in the first degree. After he
reached the state prison Johnson
claimed that he was innocent, but that
he entered the plea OF guilty for fear
he would be lynched The proposed
s-oDhy bill would compel the taking of
sufficient amount Of testimony to
reasonably substantiate the charge.
