Laws recommended by the Wisconsin
Vice commission will probably give
the state the severest shaking up
that has heretofore been experienced
in political upheavals, if they are
adopted by the next legislature
which convenes next January. The
commission which has been investi-
eating Wisconsin conditions for the
past IS months sent in it's report
to the secretary of state Saturday
afternoon.
What Is Recommended.
Here are some of the legislative
recommendations:
That the hours of labor for do
nestle servants be fixed by law and
that employers of domestic servants
be required to furnish then, with a
suitable room in which to receive
company.
That similar law to the Mann
act, applicable between cities, villages
and towns of the state be enacted
That a morals court be established
in cities of the first class with ex-
elusive jurisdiction over all cases in
volving moral offenses.
Urges State Police Force.
That a permanent state police
department be established in this
state, with power to investigate i'm
moral practices, the reason for nom
enforcement of law in all commune
ties and power to enforce the laws
where local officers fail to do so.
That all hotels, rooming and lodg-
ing houses be required to secure H.
censes; that they keep permanent
registers of the names of all
guests to be signed in their own
handwriting, the registers to show
their surrender, with penalties for
using fictitious names.
That the publicity Of ownership
be established by requiring the
name Of owners on the front of all
hotels and rooming houses,
That women be on the board of
managers Of all institutions to which
women or children are committed.
and that police women be appointed
in every city of the first, second
and third class.
Want City Amusements.
That an industrial home for women
be established, equipped with hos
pital facilities for the treatment of
! Venereal and other diseases, women
convicted of immoral practices to
be committed thereto for treatment
and moral training.
| No liquor in dance halls; no stall
wine rooms or family entrances in
saloons; revocation of liquor licenses
on plea of guilt in court; conviction
by tive-sixths of a jury in immoral.
ty or saloon cases.
Special classes for subnormal chill.
dren, social centers, supervised mu.
nicipal amusements.
Liquor Cause of Vice.
The report says that the creates
cause of commercialized vice is thu
use of intoxicating liquor. Contrib
utory causes are public dance halls
roadhouses, poorly lighted parks ant
public places, lack of responsibility,
by parents, nonenforcement of law
by public officials, lack Of public
amusement and recreation center
and automobiles. The report Of tn
committee says that the wage ques
ton has no material relation to ;
girls downfall.
THE mans part in the social evil,
says the committee, lis 1espicabl
and mean enough to merit the harsh
est terms of reproach and disgust.
