Courts Ruling Saves Amendments.

doubt of the legality of several con-
stitutional amendments, which was
raised when, recently, the same court
declared the amendment to the suf-
frage clause of the state constitution
was illegal. The court reversed the
decision by a vote of 4 to 8, saving
from possible contest such important
amendments as: The primary cleo

Refuse to Reduce Health Fund.
The Bradley bill providing for cut
ting the annual appropriation Of the
state board of health from $4,000
to $4,000 was killed by the assem-
bly, after a lengthy debate by vote
of IL to 49, The main source of the
opposition to the indefinite postpone
ment of the measure came from AS
semblyman Hanson of Manitowoc. He
argued that the board of health did
not need the extra $4,000 appropri-
alton and that the work accom-
plished by the board did not justify
the force Of men employed. Assem-
blyman Spoor of Green Lake made
vigorous appeal for the present
board.
