LEGISLATURE IN
SPECIAL SESSION
GOV Philip ISSUED CALL FOR
MAY rs; TO CURB RENT
PRoFITEERS.
ASKS RAISE FOR TEACHERS.
Increase In the Mill Tax Rate For the
University and Normal Schools
Is Requested.

Madison-Gov. Philip summoned
the legislature into special session on
Tuesday, May 25, at two o'clock to en-
act special legislation which he be-
lieves is required at the present time.
The call includes twenty-five Subjects
first and foremost the amending of ex-
listing laws to limit net profits of land
lords and to otherwise regulate the re-
lationship between landlord and
tenant.
Most of the other subjects are Of
minor importance and can be disposed
of in short time.
Neither food profteering legislation
or extension of the power of the state
marketing commission to prevent
speculation in foodstuqs were included
in the call, as had been expected in
some quarters.
Teachers Pay Included.
Rumors that the governor intended
to include amendment of the primary
law to keep voters in their own party
also proved without foundation.
Many of the subjects deal with edu-
cational matters and the increasing of
the pay of various classes of teachers
1t is expected that the special ses-
sion will be concluded by June 8,.when
the national Republican convention
meets at Chicago.
The rent BILL as well as the other
Legislation, had already been drafted
by the governor and his legal adviser,
George B. Hudnall in consultation
with various others interested.
The governors call sets forth the
following subjects:
The rent bill, it is expected, win
limit the net profits of landlords to-
from 8 to 10 per cent and give more
power to civil judges in handling evic-
ton cases.
One measure provides for the in
creases of the mill tax at the uni
versity from ss to * mills and that
of the Normal schools from 1-6 to 1-3
mills. This is to take care of salary
raises and other increased expenses.
This would increase the income of the
university from $1,526, 900 to $2,542,-
SGT. The fund of the Normals would
jump from $685. to $1,356,089.
Open State Hospital.
One measure provides for the estab-
lishment of the Wisconsin general
hospital, to cost $75O,OOO, in connec-
ton with the university infrmary.
Another $15O,OOO is provided for q
nurses home and $4,000 for furnish
ing the buildings.
Stout institute asks $4,000 for in
creased salaries and $4,000 for addi-
tional equipment The Wisconsin,
SCHOOL of Mines asks for an added APP
preparation of $4,000.
Other measures enable county
boards to increase the salaries of SUI
perintendents and teachers.

CALL LOANS ON FOOD
Action Of Banks to Bring Down
H. C. |.
Large Stocks Now Held In Storage
Will Have to Be Thrown on
the Market.

Washington, May 21.-Adoption by
American bankers of the recommends
ton of Governor Harding Of the fed
eral reserve board ITO liquefy frozen
loans" was expected by board officials
to alleviate the financial situation and
to go far toward bringing down prices.
Governor Harding applied the term
frozen loans" to credit extension
which was permitting large stocks OF
merchandise to be held in storage for
speculative purposes. Additional &C
emulation of goods in storage, he in
Dictated, could be prevented by strict
supervision of credit.
Representative King Of Illinois. re-
Gently charged in the house that pres
ent methods of financing were permit
ting commodities to be kept off the
market. with resultant increase in
prices. The Illinois representative
said he had been informed that in New
York city alone more than 10000, 900
pounds of condensed and evaporated
milk were being held in storage, Ia
comparison with slightly more than
100000 pounds a year ago.
Although legislation designed to
drive foodstuffs from storage is now
pending in congress, it was said that
careful withdrawal Of credit FROM
spectators In food products might &C
complish more than statutory regula-
ton. It was emphasized, however,
that discrimination should be exer-
cised by bankers, inasmuch as in many
lines the summer months see an ac-
emulation of commodities for the fol
lowing winter.
New York, May 21.-Pursuant Ia
their pledge to the federal reserve
board, leading banking interests OF
this city extended their campaign OF
deflation Of credits and high commod-
jty prices.
In the financial district this policy
already has been effective in reducing
speculative loans against securities to
the extent of hundreds of millions OF
collars in the last fortnight. In one
instance, that of prominent trust
company, 1t is said that credits of this
character had been reduced by $780,,
OO0,O00 in the last three weeks.
