An effort will be made to amend
the bill in the senate SO that it will APP
ply to alcohol and alcoholic drinks
sold in drug stores on PHYSICIANS
prescriptions, including patent medi-
cines.
Since the new highway bill has been
studied by members of the legislature
strong opposition has developed TO
the automobile license provision
which increases the fees about 100
per cent. 1t is the contention of many.
that this would make the law uncon
stitutiOnal In this case if that feature
Of the law was knocked out the whole
purpose of the statute would be de-
feated as it is from increased auto
mobile fees that the state expects to
receive the financial support Of the
undertaking.
May Is is the new date set by indus
triOus members for the adjournment
of the legislature. If this is accOmp-
lished the short session will be real
lied, the state will save about 100000,
and good men will feel more like COM
ing to Madison to help make the laws.
All good citizens and true will hope
and pray for such practical move.
The ties that bind members Of the
legislature were illustrated last week
when more than fifty men whom
served in the 1909 session gathered to
hold a reunion. Former Senator Hud
nall told a story worth repeating.
There was once a Wisconsin man"
he said, "who had been a member OF
his county board for years, and al
ways wanted to be chairman. The
other members kept him from the
coveted position, but finally it appear
ed he had good chance for the place.
The leaders got together and talked
it over.
"Finally one of them thought Of
way out. He said boys, let's send him
to the legislature.
and they did"
