TAX OFFSET
BILL KILLED
BY ASSE NBLY
c. E. Hanson Measure De-
feated by a Vote of
55 to 81

The assembly by a vote of IS to
81 killed the C. E. Hanson bill to
repeal the personal property oset
to the income tax. A moment later
Assemblyman Coe, who had intro
duced similar bill, withdrew it for
the purpose of an amendment.
Assemblyman c. z. Hanson made
a determined fight for his bill men
tloning the grain elevator cases.
This measure if passed would in
crease tax revenues about $3,00O,-
900 annually. He said there was no
good reason for the offset.
Assemblyman w. E. Edwards,
Waukesha, opposed the bill. He
said it was incomplete and that it
would not accomplish the purpose
proposed. Assemblyman Matheson
also spoke against the measure. On
a roll call the bill was killed.
Kill Vote Bill.
The Sievers bill providing for the
payment of wages in cash, went
over and the Donnelly bill, amend
ing the primary election laws to
abolish nomination papers was
killed by viva voce votes. The Klein
bill relating to days of rest of po-
llcemen and firemen in Milwaukee
was referred to the committee on
labor with number of amendments.
The senate gave final passage to
the Jennings Milwaukee school
board bill increasing the mill tax
to four mills and providing that
minimum wage Of 5000 shall be
established. Two other bills by .Jen-
nlngs, one empowering the council
to change the salary of appointive
officials and the other placing the
council civil service system on the
budget plan were passed.
Because Attorney General Blain
held that the Coe bill, appropriating
$4,000 to Mrs. w. 7. Purdy, widow
of the composer Of "On Wiscon-
SIM" is unconstitutional, Senator
Roy P. Wilcox made the plea that
members of the legislature take up
subscription to assist the family.
