Would Test Soldier Paw Measure.

Attorney General Blaine rendered an
opinion on the Pullen bill granting sol
diers. sailors and marines state aid of
SO for every month in service by bond
ing the state for $20,000,000 The bill
legalizes the aid under the cOnstitu
tional provision to repel invasion, sup
press instruction and defend the state
by armed forces.
Mr.. Blaine Opines that the state aid
is laudable and that he cannot hold it
clearly unconstitutional.
THE purpose is laudable, and since
stitutiOnal, it is my opinion that if
the legislature determines in favor of
the proposed policy and enacts any
law similar to this bill, the act can
be interpreted and construed by the
courts and the cOnstitutiOnality can
thereby be tested, before any funds
are paid out under the APP rOpriaticn. :"
the opinion reads.
| Mr.. Blaine does hold uncOnstitutiOn-
tional, however, that part of the bill
providing for issuing Of bonds, as he
holds the purpose of the bill is clearly
not to repel invasion.
Mr.. Blaine analyses the selective
service act, giving a half-dOzen deci-
sions and court opinions from Civil
war periods, when substitutes were OBJ
tanned for pay and when bounties were
/ offered for enlistment.

Lower Tax for Home Owners.

An encouraging boost the past week
An encouraging boost the past week
was given to Wisconsin home builders
and home owners by the assembly
when the Perry bill, providing $500
exemption from taxation for all home
steads, was advanced to engrossment
by the house.
Although the assembly committee

the Perry measure be killed, and al
though Assemblyman William II. Ed
wards of Waukesha, chairman of the
committee, fought hard to defeat the
bill, Mr.. Perry succeeded in upholding
the committee recommendation and
the motion to indefinitely postpone his
measure was defeated, 81 to %. A
vote advancing it to engrossment fol-
lowed
The bill provides that a home in
which the owner resides shall be ex-
empted from taxation to the amount
of $500.
1.-THE idea of this bill is to stimulate
home owning" declared Assemblyman
Perry in spirited debate over the
measure. "The idea of our govern
ment is the development of good citi-
zens. The home is the stronghold of
good reliable citizenship. In recent
years taxes have increased until they
have become burden and 1t is COM
mon saying that it is cheaper to rent
than to own a home. This bill would
ease the burden of the small home
owner and build up the citizenship of
the state.
ave must show the great body of
small home owners that We recognize
they should have some relief from
the excessive burdens that various
other exemptions from taxation throw
on the poor man."
