Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
is called upon to pay claim of SALT
to e. P. Raymond, a Taylor county
sheep raiser, for the loss of sheep
which have been killed by bears. Ray
mond. in making his claim to the
finance committee, asks that legisla-
ton be adopted making the entire year
open for the slaughter of bears, citing
the fact that the animals are protected
by the state, hence they are state
property, the state being responsible
for damage done by them.
The state highway committee was
told by Senator Hazelwood that the
bane of the state highway was the un-
slightly billboard. He said that at
tempts made to make the billboard
beautiful had resulted in rows be-
tween artists over what constituted
beauty and that the problem was as
far from solution as ever.
..Let us have natural beauty" said
the senator, "and get rid of all bill
boards. We can get rid of them by
taxing them out of existence"
The assembly cut down the order for
printing 10000 copies of Senator Will
cox's report on how to meet anarchism.
because Of Assemblyman Donnelly's
charge that the report was being used
to make political capital for Wilcox

asmuch as the charge was made in the
assembly and Wilcox is a senator,
there was no opportunity for retort
by the former candidate for governor.
The Wisconsin legislature will at
tempt to have community center meet
ings take the place of the community
meeting place furnished by the saloon.
now that the nation has been voted
dry. The movement to so reform the
sfatutes of wisconsin that people will
have some of the clubhouse benefits
OF the saloon will be fostered in the

Wausau. He has introduced bill in
the senate to authorize the incOrpOra-
ton of community centers SO that they
NAY provide for such recreatiOnal, So
cial and educational activities as are
needed to take the place of the saloon.
His bill empowers the people of ter
ritory on not less than thirty-six
square miles to vote incorporation.
The senate disagreed with the as
senlbly on the Connor amendment to
the resolution creating a special COM
mittee ON drainage. The Conner
amendment provided that the lieuten-
ant governor, instead of the commit
tee Oh committees, should name the

said he resented an attempt by the as
sembly to tell the senate how it should
appoint committeeman.
Schultz defended the Connor
amendment. The senate sustained
