SENATE BUR|ES
COURT MEASURE
KIBOSH PUT ON ASSEMBLY BILL
BY UPPER BODY LAST WE'D
NESDAY.A BITTER FIGHT.

Assemblyman Grindell's pet meas
ure, Bill 155 A, was buried face down
by the Wisconsin senate last Wednes-
day. The bill came before the senate
and was first postponed for further
consideration. On Wednesday Sena-
tor Roethe made motion recalling
the bill and putting it to a vote. 1t
was killed by substantial majority.
This ends the bill for good and all for
this session at least. The people are
fully aroused and will be in evidence
should it ever be brought up again.
The bill came up first last winter
being a plan to create municipal
court at Platteville to take in the
southern assembly district. Under
its provisions the county paid half
and the district half of the expense.
This was bitterly opposed and finally
killed in committee. Then the pro-
ponents of the plan stated that the
bill would be amended to take in
Platteville. They said that Platte
vile and vicinity would pay all the
expense of the court. When the new
bill appeared it called for three mu-
nicipal courts-one each at Platte
vile, Lancaster and Boscobel- with
the expense to be paid from the gen
eral county funds.
Our readers have been Informed as
to. the progress of the measure and
also to the the opposition it incurred.
Passing the house in its last form
by vote of 43 to Is it went before
the senate with the result stated. AS
semblyman Ruka fought well but I'M
in the house and Sena-
tor Roethe quietly swung a big axe
in the senate. These men deserve
credit.
The bill is buried face down and
any activity means digging down
deeper. So ends a bitter fight.

BEER BAN MAY BE LIFTED?

Washington-The impression grows
here that President Wilson may lift
the ban on beer and wine June "a or
Is. This is based upon the fact that
peace was signed Monday and that
but 100000 American soldiers remain
in France.
An effort to have congress repeal
wartime prohibition proved ineffec-
tive in the house judiciary committee.
Gard of Ohio had Steele and ClassOn
of Wisconsin and Igoe and Dyer of
Missouri with him. The negative vote
was II.
