TOASK FOR BROADER POWER
ent Law Amended-Bilf on the
Subject May Be introduced.

Madison--An entirely new law may
be drafted covering the powers of the
State Council of Defense and also
clearly defining the powers of county
councils in the matter. This will be
done, or bill will be introduced. very
literally amending the present law.
There are many powers needed by
the Council of Defense which are not
covered by the law creating the coun-
Gil, and the need of wider powers for
the council was discussed at Lieet-
ing on this matter by the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, it being practically de
cided TO ask the Legislature for broader
powers.
A bill on the subject will probably
be introduced within a few days and
will unquestionably be passed by the
legislature without much discussion
Just what the terms of this new bill
will be cannot yet be said, but it will
probably give the council broader pow
ers regarding the control and manage
ment of affairs likely to be prominent
factors in the war situation.
1t is thus likely more definite powers
will be given in regard to the control
and sale of foodstuffs; also in regard
TO the disposition of state labor during
the war crisis.

TEACHERS MINIMUM PAY S45
Governor Signs Bill Naming Lowest
Salary Under Apportionment of
State School Fund.

Madison-The legislature has made
possible many school teachers of the
state receiving an increase in salary
during the coming year. The legisla-
iture has passed and the governor has
just signed the bill fixing the mini.
mum salary of teachers at S45 a
month.
The first minimum salary law was
enacted in Wisconsin in 1913 fixing
the salary Of teachers at not less than
$40 month. School men claim that
the minimum salary law has brought
better teachers into the profession.
In order to enforce the provision for
this minimum salary the law as just
signed by the governor provides that
mo apportionment of school funds
shall be made to any city, village or
town" unless the common school
shall have been taught by a qualified
teacher paid salary of not less than
$45 a month.
Gov. Philip has also signed the
Everett bill providing for co-ordina-
ton OF state work and of department.

that the departments shall exchange
information, and may jointly employ
or make assignments of employees as

separate the grades. as is now nee
essary in the case of old railroad

UNNECESSARY BURDEN
ON TAXPAYERS.
BUILDING CAN BE DELAYED
Executive Declares Expenditures of
$4,000 Annually Should Be De.
Iayed Until After War to
Meet Present Calls.

Madison Gov. Philip has sent a
message to the senate, vetoing the
Wilcox bill, appropriating S52,500 an
nually for the construction of armor-
les for the Wisconsin National guard,
The reasons of the governor for We
toing the bill were that the measure
would add to the burden of the tax
payer a sum for military purposes not
absolutely necessary at this time when
he will be called upon to contribute
for war purposes to the limit of his
ability to pay. that it would take men
from the field of active production
where they are sorely needed at the
present time, and that 1t would com
pei the state to purchase materials
for the construction of buildings at a
time when the cost thereof is far
above normal prices. The senate
postponed action on the veto. II is
not believed that the bill will be
passed over the governors veto.
