will not fall till this afternoon Two days

The principal measure the soldier edu-
catiOnal bill, giving soldiers. sailors, marines
and the privilege of attending school
and finishing their education. Eve years tut
tion being available under the act. The state
is to pay them $50 per month while in school
but does not provide for free tuition In the
original measure, which was vetoed at the
regular session, the bill provided only for tut
tiOn IN colleges, but this law provides for tut
tion in any school, SO that can take up
even grade studies high school. if they are
not qualified for college courses. Ii viii af-
feet practically I0,00e soldiers but does not
include students who formerly attended the
Student Army Training schools. II requires
at least three months service in field or train
ing camps, but not those who, when inducted
into service did civilian work at civilian pay.
Those who take the bonus of SIC per month,
voted BY the people last week, cannot also
take the educational privileges of this act,
unless they return the bonus. This provision
was made in order 20 allow those who later
on decided TO take the educational privilege.
so they could do by returning the bonus.
The expense of this law is estimated at Si5.-
0O0G00 to be collected within Eve years, 20
be raised by direct tax on general property
and a surtax upon incomes. Two-thTds of the
tax will be raised by a one-mill tax on gen

II your property is assessed at 81 zoe. and so
at s2.e00. and SO on in proportion The
tax on personal incomes will start on incomes
of $4,000 which will be taxed at seventeenth

Wisconsin free of charge.
This law puts Wisconsin inthe front of all
states doing things for its soldiers. North
Dakota voted a SIS bonus, but failed 10 pro-
vide for raising the money, and therefore it
amounts to nothing. The senator from Dodge
county cast the only vote in the senate against
the bill, but there were 20 against il in the
assembly. while 60 voted for it.
The OtheG bills passed were amending the
blue sky law by making il apply 10 banks
and reducing the fee from 81 20 so cents per
$1,000. Another bill restored the salary Of
the state superintendent, M,,ich had gotten lost
in the regular session, Will, another one val
dated certain bonds issued by counties, a
measure allowing counties to purchase war
histories TO present TO the soldiers, and an
other bill restored the provisions of old
law for committees to administer the fund
raised by counties for the of needy sol
diers.
