Hope to Get 100000 Allowance.

The committees on finance and high
ways held their first joint conference
to study problems in raising money so
that the state may avail itself of the
federal appropriation of 100000.
Little sentiment for a direct state tax
was expressed.
The proposal was advanced to in
crease the automobile license from SO
to $50 annually. Some members op-
posed a fiat rate in case the licenses
were advanced holding a graduated
scale up to $40 or $50 should be
adopted for more expensive cars. A
fiat $40 tax would raise about $4,000
600 annually.
1t appears likely that the counties
will be asked to raise an amount equal
to that of the state, which will pro-
duce S15,000.000 With the sum the
state now has on hand a total of $21,-
100000 will be available in the next
three years for highway improvement.

May Hear All Labor Bills Together.

To effect consideration of all wage
Cancellation bills at one time, the jul.
dietary committee postponed the gem
eral hearing on the Nolan bill, support
ed by Governor Philip. Assemblyman
Knappe asked that a hearing be
scheduled so that the state federation
bill may be heard at the same time.
Inquiries by Chairman Nolan
brought out that labor men in the leg
islature want measure modelled af-
ter the federal war Cancellation act.
William Kelly, Madison federationist,
said the war board had accomplished
good results. He insisted that the la
Dor member of the Cancellation board
be a member of the federation Chair
man Nolan said he supposed the gov
ernor would appoint this member from
organized labor, but he was opposed to
making it statutory requirement as
long as the organizations include only
10 per cent of the labor of the state.
