Voters to Pass on Soldiers Aid.

Voters to Pass on Soldiers Aid.
The Wisconsin state assembly has
voted to send the $2OOOO,OOO soldier
bonus proposition to vote Of the peo-
pie at a special election to be called
by the governor on August 10. Before
this measure becomes law, however.
it must be concurred in by the senate
and doubt exists as to whether the up
per house is in favor of the plan. The
senate desires I: bill which provides for
a direct three mill tax on the general
property and surtax on incomes. The
assembly bill refers the entire matter
to the people. The senate bill was
nonconcurred In by the house. The
Nolan bill, which follows the recon-
mendations Of Governor Philip in his
special message to the legislature re-
Gently, was then passed by a vote of
81 to Is.
Governor Philip, in his special mes
sage, says that the referendum vote
and the action of the legislature will
in no way interfere with placing the
tax levy on the tax roll and will not
operate to defer the time when the sol
der may receive the bonus. He also
suggests the incorporation of pro-
vision in the bill by which state pay
ments will not be made If the national
government passes bonus bill grant
ing substantially the same amounts as
that provided in the Wisconsin meas
ure. This latter feature was in the
original bill, but was stricken out on
motion of Senator I. P. Witter, Grand
Rapids. Governor Phillip says that
the tax levy proposed is probably the
largest that was ever made in a state
of 100000 people,
The message opened with an analy-
sis of the provisions Of the bill as it
has passed the senate. He says that
the income tax feature Of the measure
would raise between $5,OOO,OOO and &c.
100000 and that the mill tax feature
of mills on every dollar of assessed
valuation of property in the state will
produce an additional $l5,OOO,0OO.
Passage by the house of the Nolan
bill throws the soldier bonus question
back to the senate, and when that
body meets on July 8 the fate Of this
legislation in Wisconsin will be de-
cided.
That opposition may develop in
the senate to the bill passed by the
assembly Is indicated in the stand
taken by the upper house against
Governor Philips suggestions, which,
although not made at the time the
committee bill was considered in the
upper house, were considered and
voted down.
The Nolan bill provides that the
question Of granting soldier bonuses
shall be decided at a special election
on August 10, 1919, after which spe-
cial session Of the legislature shall be
called to appropriate the money If the
people go on record in favor Of the
proposition.
1t also provides that in case con-
gress shall grant an additional soldier
bonus, no action shall be taken by the
state. Both Of these propositions were
considered by the senate and defeated.
Senator Nye's bill to open courses
to war service men in the higher edu-
catiOnal institutions of Wisconsin. the
state to allow each student $50 a
month, has passed both houses, but
Gov. e. L. Philip has intimated that
he will not approve the bill in its
present form.
