led by Carl Hansen and Assemblyman
Poole, who carried an American flag.
There was also singing in the assem-

among the members, most of whom
are leaving for their homes, that no
new business will be presented and
that the business will be limited to
receiving enrolled bills, forwarding
them to the governor and accepting
messages from the governor either
signing or vetoing the bills.
The few members who will look
after the routine work will be those
who live in or near Madison and a
lew who desire to remain the entire
session.

WILL WATCH "PIKE" SHOWS
Fair Attractions Must Register and
Be of Reputable Nature - I'm
der State Supervision.

Madison-The character of the so
called pike" attractions at county
fairs will hereafter be subject to state
supervision. A clause was inserted in
the peddler's license bill, providing
that all carnival shows and pike at
fractions obtaining county fair con-
cessions must file a statement with
the secretary of state and the treas
ury agent of their intention to show
on the county fair grounds and stat
ing that the character of the show
shall be looked into by representa-
lives of the state agricultural com
missioner and if-the shows are not of
reputable character, the county fair
permitting the shows to exhibit is to
lose state aid.
This clause in the peddler's license
bill was placed in the bill because
complaints as to the character of
some of the carnival shows which
have been exhibiting at county fairs.
Another important feature of the
new peddler's license bill is clause
requiring fees to be collected
from transient moving picture
shows and from transient skating
rings. 1t is said there is a class of
moving picture shows which travels
around and exhibits in tents and va
cant store buildings, staying only a
few nights in each place. These shows
hereafter will be subject to a license.
Transient skating rinks are also of
much the same character.
