lingson bills repeating the mill tax
for the state university and normal
schools; concurred in the bill giving

Bills Meet Opposition.
AS to whether or not the two adj
ministration bills providing for board
of public welfare and a central board
of education will get through the SEN
ate is an open question. The agricul-
tural bill, it is believed, will be pass
ed about as it stands at present.
On the board of public welfare bill
the state board of health has stirred
up an intense opposition in the medi-
cal societies. Petitions and remon-
strances have been coming in from the
doctors, protesting against the state
board of health being included in the
bill. Not all doctors are opposed to
the bill, but the activity shown in the
board of health office, from which the
fight has been directed, has served to
create enough noise to cause the be-
lief that the entire state is up in arms
against the bill, which is far from the
case.
The members of the boards of re-
gents of the university and normal
schools are fighting the central board
of education bill bitterly in order to
maintain the present order, which is
responsible for the feeling shown out
through the state against the uriver-
sity. While it is the university that
is being most attacked, as a matter
of fact the hardest fighting against
the governors bill comes from the nor
NAL school regents, who are also the
better politicians.
To Separate Appropriations.
Whatever may happen in regard to
the board of education bill, it is GER
tain that this year the university and
normal school appropriations will not
come in in a bunch.
The university appropriation and
the normal appropriation will be sep
arated so that the legislators will be
able to vote for one and against the
other if they choose.
Bill Favors Candidates.
Candidates. for offices in Wiscon-
sin will hereafter not be bothered
with requests to make any private
pledge in regard to proposed or de-
signed legislation. The bill by Sen
ator Bray to stop people and organ
izations from asking embarrassing
questions of candidates was con-
Cured in by the assembly.
The bill as passed provides that no
candidates may make any pledge di-
rectly or indirectly upon present
laws or future legislation that may
be proposed, or upon questions of
public or private interest, other than
those issued by the candidate, his |
personal committee or regular party
committees, through the press, or by
general distribution of letters, |
pamphlets or circulars, through the |
mails or otherwise, and no candidate |
shall give or sign any such written
statement or pledge unless the same |
is issued as provided for the informa-
ton of the voters generally"
Must Cleanse Bottles.
If bill ordered engrossed by the |
assembly passes the legislature every
one who buys milk by the bottle will |
have to see that the bottles are thor |
Oughly cleansed before they are re-
turned or be subject to fine of not |
more than $25. The bill provides |
that any person, firm or corporation, |
whether acting by servant, agent or
otherwise who does not see that cans, |
bottles, ETC., used for dairy products |
for human use are properly cleansed |
may be fined. This will affect house |
holders as we'll as milk dealers as it
is the ultimate consumer" that is |
aimed at by the bill.
The Moran bill relating to the cleo |
ton pamphlet and the Killa bill relat- |
ing to a county board of control for
Milwaukee county, were killed in the |
assembly as other bills relating to |
the same subjects are either on their |
way through the legislature or, as in |
the case of the county board bill, |
have passed the legislature and gone |
to the governor.
The bill $50 A, giving banks the |
option of being taxed under the in
come tax or as at present, which was |
reported in to the assembly properly |
engrossed was sent to the finance |
committee, as it carries an approprt- |
alton.
Fight on Sunday Bill Due.
The Helm Sunday law bill, it ap-
pears, is to cause another fight in the |
assembly. The bill was non-con-
Cured in by the senate. The assem- |
bly, received a request from the sem
ate to return the bill to the senate. |
Opposition developed, Assemblyman |
Spoor being for return and Assembly
man Cretney being against
Tucker Heads Veterans.
