valorem tax on grain in elevators and
warehouses on May and substituting
an occupational tax on the owners and
operators of such places. The occupa-
tional tax is u of mill per bushel on
wheat and fax and II of mill per
bushel on all other grain received at
such repositories during the year end
ing April 3d. This bill is similar to
laws in force in Minnesota, Illinois and
other surrounding states and is con-
sidered by grain operators more favor
able than the existing Wisconsin law
on the subject.
Income Tax Not Endangered.
''Ihere is no disposition on my part
to destroy or even injure the present
income tax law" said Gov. Phillip in
an interview The governor was asked
to make statement because the adj
ministration bill abolishing the present
tax commission has been heralded as
direct attack on this law and cam
paign against the passage of the bill
started
the bill is that it will kill off the in
come tax law Some attempts have
been made to show that one man tax
commission (although the bill provides
for three members) would not work
out for the benefit of the people. Yet
in one paper, d. O. Kinsman, a recog-
nized tax expert, came out in favor
of one man commission.
To Hear Water Power Bill.
The water power bill continues to
occupy the front of the stage in the
assembly. Each side is working tooth
and nail to prevent any of their votes
being drawn off or to draw some from
the other side.
There are rumors of changes on both
sides, but whether these will prove
true is something that can not be an
swered at this time Monday night, as
the members returned from their week
end trip home they were met by fellow
members who wanted to discuss the
reason why, or why not, the vote on
the Nordman amendment should be re-
considered when it came UP in the
calendar
The assembly Indefinitely postponed
four bills, all of them having some
thing to do with fish and game. The
house concurred in two senate bills. In
this list was the bill by Senator Skog-
mo providing that life insurance
agents can not make any misrepresen.
tations in order to get risk, nor can
they indulge in any way in what is
known as twisting" The bill by Sen.
ator Ackley relating to the Municipal
court of Chippewa county was concur
red in.
Three Assembly Bills Passed.
The assemble passed three assembly
bills after having engrossed them; the
rules. were then suspended and the
bills sent on their way to the senate
The bills thus passed were the Nelson
bill relating to hog cholera serum; the
Hanson bill relating to the Tenth judi
cial circuit; the bill by the committee
on education relating to salaries to be
paid instructors of special branches in
high schools.
The bill relating to the Lloyds COM
panies, which was concurred in by the
assembly, will have to run the gauntlet
the second time. Assembly Ellingson
moved for reconsideration of the
vote by which the bill was concurred
in. Another bill that will have another
trip through the house is 526-A, the
Dobie bill, which caused such stir
among the fraternal societies of the
state. The assembly indefinitely post
poned the bill and it is now desired to
reconsider that vote.
