THE SOLONS TO CONVENE
SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLA-
TURE THIS WEEK
Six Subjects for Consideration-So
diers Educational Bill the Real
Cause of Converting

Governor Philip has called a special ses-
sion of tire legislature to convene at the state
capitol tomorrow. Thursday. Six meas
ures for legislative consideration are enumeF-
ated by the governor. The really important
of these is the soldiers educational PROPOSE
tioR-the enactment of such legislation as will
grant the privilege to attend the university,
normal schools. high schools. common schools,
special schools or any private college located
in the state of Wisconsin. TO any soldier, sail
or, marine nurse who rendered service dur
ing the world war ard who was in the SER
vice of the army, navy or hospital corps of the
United States on or before the date of the
signing of the armiStice, and to provide for the
payment TO such persons of certain sums of
money by the state in monthly payments dur
ing the period in which such student attends
such school or college. and TO make the neces-
sary appropriations for such payments and TO
provide BY adequate appropriation the ueces-
sary facilities.
At the close of the late session Governor
Philip vetoed a bill granting $50 aid per
month TO seldiers TO complete their education.
The governor then held that the legislation
would be unfair TO a great majority of sol
diers; that ii would not provide for education
o fthe boys who do not possess the higher quail
ifcations. In his call the governor makes it
possible for all vino served the government to
improve themselves Internationally, if the legis-
lature passes a bill and makes sufficient ap-
propriation.-,
