SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGIS-
LATURE

Gov. Philip Thursday summoned
the Wisconsin legislature into special
session for Tuesday afternoon, May
25, at o'clock, to enact special legis-
lation which he believes is required at
the present time
There are 25 specific topics in the
call, the most important of which are
the regulations of rents and appropria-
tions for the normal schools and the
university. 1t is the belief that these
matters can be disposed of in four
day session and that the legislature
will be able to conclude its services
not later than Saturday, May 20. There
are some who believe, however, that
the rent and financial legislation is of
such far reaching importance as to re-
quire a two weeks session of the leg
islature.
First on the program under the gov
ernor's call is a provision permitting
the enactment of rent legislation. Two
bills are proposed. Other matters to
receive attention, viz: Improvement
of the Medical school at the State Uni
versity.
Raise the minimum of teachers SAL
aries.
An appropriation of $1,500 will be
asked for, to support the inter-depart-
ment Community Council.
