SOLONS, REGARDLESS OF POLL
TICS, HEARTILY AGREE
WITH GOVERNOR.
ADJOURNED FROM THURS
DAY UNTIL TUESDAY.

Especial to the Herald by R. B. PiXley)
Madison, Wis, Jan. 10 One
week has passed and a new rec
ord has been established. Not a
lobbyist has appeared. Of course
the bills are not in and there is
little work for them, but in for.
mer years they always made
their appearance early.
Perhaps it is because, while the adj
ministration recognizes the profession
Of lobbyist as a legitimate one, and
realizes that they arc Of much assist
ance to the legislators in the prepare
ton of bills, Gov. Phillip has deter
mined that the old "pernicious lobby
shall not exist. He said something
about it in his message. He is net
alone in this determination The legis-
lature as whole, regardless Of poll
tics, and the other state officers, are
with him
The assembly served definite notice
on the senate early in the first week
that it was not in a mood to be ca
joled. There was really no business
to transact this week, after the legis-
lature had heard the governors mes
sage and had received committee as
signments. Therefore the senate
adopted a Joint resolution on Thurs
day to adjourn until Tuesday and sent
it over to the assembly 1t happens
that neither of the houses can ad-
journ under the rules for more than
three days without the consent of the
other, and there were decided noes
to the proposition in the lower house.
The result was that the resolution
was withdrawn, committee talked it
over, and it was agreed to adjourn
during the session from Friday to
Monday.

recommendations for amendments TO
