BILL To PRESERVE
PIONEER CAPITOL
INTRODUCE MEASURE TO RE
STORE OLD TERRITORIAL
HOUSE AT BELMONT.
URGES PURCHASE OF LAND
Senator PIatt Whitman Advocates APP
preparation of $500 Be Made for
Proiect-First Session OF Leg
islature Held in 1886.

Madison-The first territorial capitol
of Wisconsin at Belmont, now Leslie,
may be preserved as one of the his
torica1 land marks of the state. A
bill to accomplish this purpose has
been presented in the upper house of
. the legislature by Senator Plat Whit
man of Highland and has been given
a hearing before the joint finance COM
mittee.
The bill calls for an appropriation OF
$500 to purchase sufficient land and
to move the old capitol building to the
site of its location where the first
territorial session of the legislature
was held
The first session of the legislature
at Belmont on Oct %, 1885, and adj
journed on Dec. 9 of the same year.
The session lasted forty-six days and
there were forty-two laws passed and
placed upon the statute books.
During this first session, several
counties were organized" declared Mr..
Rindlaub. Among these counties
were FOrL2Se, Green ana GranL, the
last named being formed by dividing

a law was passed providing for trus-
tees for the village of Milwaukee and

laws passed was one establishing the
university at Belmont in Iowa county"

LEGISLATURE MAY
ADJOURN MAY IS
DATE SET FOR LAW MAKERS TO
CLEAN UP ALL WORK OF
PRESENT SESSION.
BIG MEASURES TO COME UP
The Young Primary, Statewide Prohi
bition and the Highway Bills
Are Booked for Immediate
Hearing.

Madison-With May Is fixed as the
date upon which the legislature can
adjourn if it applies itself to the work
ahead, certain members are deter
mined to do what they can to speed
up the sessions.
Counting a week out for the cleo
ton adjournment, this will give the
members six weeks to clean up the
calendars, and unless politicians at
tempt to delay the work the bills can
DE given due consideration and be
passed or killed long before that time
Among the big bills to have an i'm
mediate hearing is the Young primary
BILL 1t is to come up before the as
sembly committee on elections, and
could be reported in so the lower
house could dispose of it by the sec
ond week in April. The senate com
mittees are in shape to take it UP
without delay, and two weeks in the
senate ought to dispose of it.
The statewide prohibition bill ought
to be either passed or killed in the
same time. The highway bill will
take some time, especially because OF
the argument which will arise as to
the increase in automobile fees and
the proposition of creating special
legislative committee to work with
the highway commission.
Another big bill is the one which
relates to the game laws. This sub
ject also has been considered for
months, and several hearings have
been held. Another hearing is sched-
uled and the bill should be on the
calendar of one of the houses early
in April.
The Whittet bill which amends the
state board of education law is impor-
tant, but it has been considered by a
joint committee, and has been unani-
mousIy recommended by the assembly
side. It should be disposed Of by the
lower house without delay and the
senate will have three weeks in April
to consider it. 1t is understood that
amendments will be introduced in the
senate, and they will send the bill
back to the lower house, but again
May Is seems date far enough ahead
in which to dispose of the bill.
Every day of the session costs
money, and the 1917 legislature still
has an opportunity to save something
like 100000 to the state if it adjourns
by May Is.

diplomatic achievements and the marked
success OF his South American trip in
1906 make him particularly fitted for his
delicate task. President Wilson IL un-
derstood to have told Mr.. Root he was
greatly pleased that the latter could ac-
cept the appointment.
1t is understood the British and French
Governments have been Informed Of the
move and attribute the greatest import
ance to II. Mr.. Root will be empowered
to assure Russia that every ounce OF
Americas resources is pledged to the
cause which Russia Is now pledged to In
the world war. and that the United
States will geek TO help Russia In every
practical way. But this is all based on
the assumption that German intrigue
will not undermine Russia's determine
tion to continue the struggle
The new Russian Government. In CO.
operation with the United States, will be
able TO outline a practical means
whereby shortage of munitions and other
necessary sinews Of war are provided
for. Mr. Root will be the spokesman for
this Government and will have at his
beck and call American resources, Amer
lean engineers and all Americas inven-
tive genius. II is explained, to offer In
the prosecution OF the war and the help
ing OF Russia's limited facilities to equip
her $4,000. 900 fighting men.

has accepted.
The commission, which is still in the

nigh Government officials. army officers
and others II will admittedly be en-
trusted with one OF the most difficult
diplomatic missions which the United
States has ever undertaken in foreign
lands.
Mr.. Roots instructions will nominally

ton and courtesy from the American
Government and the American people to
the Government and people OF Russia.
but at the same time he will be entrusted
with the delicate task Of seeking
70 strengthen Russia's part in the world
war against Germany. His visit will be
much along the line OF the visits of Mr.
Balfour and NJ. N!viani here. except that
they have come to a land which eagerly
awaited them with open arms, whereas
the situation in Russia has been com
plicated by internal dissension and Ger.
man intrigue.
