By vote of AZ to 20 the assembly

/ $3.50 per year.
The bill has had a 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-
scented On one side a plea for the
redemption of party pledges, Repub-
lican and Democratic; on the other
side that the passage of the bin would
| injure the university.
Carl Piper wanted to go on record
as opposed to the university on gem
eral principles because of sits waste
full extravaganza" The Socialists
were unanimously opposed to the bill.
Senate Passes Mulberger 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 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 a 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 a 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 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-
powering 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 Bills Favored.
The senate committee on state az
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 1t shall not apply to
special police appointed under section
2, chapter 179, of the laws of 1891.
The state affairs committee recon-
mended 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 So day
for time spent in the sdischarge 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 50 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 1855, 200 to the
state board of agriculture. The bill
is recommended for indefinite post
ponement, but there was a 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
