Madison, May IL, 1915.


| BY a vote of AZ to 29 the assembly
ordered to engrossment the Ham
brecht bill, increasing the tuition of
| nonresident students from $500 to
| $3.50 per year.
The bill has had checkered ca
reer. 1t was introduced Jan. ~ and
since that time has been before the
assembly upon seventeen different mo-
| lions or recommendations on eleven
different dates.
The arguments for and against the
bill were the same as heretofore pre-
sented. On one side plea for the
redemption Of party pledges, Repub-
lican and Democratic; on the other
side that the passage of the bill would
| injure the university.
Carl Piper wanted to go on record
as opposed to the university on gem
eral principles because of "its waste
| full extravaganza The Socialists
were unanimously opposed to the bill.
Senate Passes Muiberger Bill.
| The senate passed the Mulberger
bill, extending the terms of office of
county supervisors from one to two
years. The Monk bill, providing I'M
paid water rentals shall be a lien on
the property on which the water was
used, was also passed, and the COM
| mittee bill authorizing the owners of
| toll bridges to bring suit for damages
| for fast driving on such structures.
The senate, after long debate,
adopted the Arnold substitute to the
Stevens hotel liquor license bill and
then ordered it to engrossment and
third reading.
| The Arnold bill provides common
councils may grant liquor licenses to
new hotels providing licensed saloon
| location authorized under the Baker
! law is discontinued for each license
! granted hotel.
Rent Money to Lose Tax
| On motion of Senator Arnold, the
| Baxter bill, exempting from income
taxation the retail value of residence
property occupied by it's owner, was
amended so as to exempt from taxa
| ton money paid by a person for the
rent of residence property. The bill
as amended was held over until next
| Wednesday.
| Senator Hanson presented a substi-
| tute bill for the Bennett measure, en-
towering the state insurance commits
sioner to determine the reasonableness
of fire insurance rates. The substitute
bill authorizes local boards of under
writer's and associations of agents to
fix rates on property in their communi-
| ties, and empowers the state insur-
ance commissioner to order discon-
tinued any discrimination in rates.
Uniform Bill Is Favored.
The senate committee on state af-
| fairs recommended for concurrence
the Hedding bill prohibiting private
| persons from wearing uniforms,
badges or insignia, similar to those
worn by police officers. An amend
ment was recommended to the bill
providing that it shall not apply to
special police appointed under section
2, chapter 179, of the laws of 1891.
The state affairs committee recon-
mended a substitute for the Baxter
bill relating to the state BARRIERS
board The substitute provides the
state board of health shall appoint the
| three members of the board of barber
examiners, who are to receive SIS day
for time spent in the discharge of
their duty.
The license fee for candidates for
examination is increased from 81 to
SIS and the annual fee for master bar
bers decreased from So to 81 per year.
The board is to hold four regular ex-
aminations each year and as many
special ones as may be necessary.
Fair Fund Repeal Delayed.
The senate narrowly escaped a
row over the Bradley bill repeating
an appropriation of $255,0O0 to the
state board Of agriculture. The bill
is recommended for indefinite post
ponement, but there was disposition
on the part of the senate to argue
| the matter, so in order to avoid de-
| lay the bill was laid over until later
The Bray bill giving the Industrial
commission authority to pass on the
| reasonableness of hospital and doc
tors bills in cases of dispute was en-
crossed. The Stevens bill granting
saloon licenses to hotels was reconsid-
cred and re-referred to the committee
on state affairs. The joint resolu-
ton calling upon the city of Madison
to supervise building on State street
