Manufacturers Oppose Tax.
Next in point of discussion comes
the income tax proposals. the idea of

demanding that some way be found 10

manufacturers are complaining that
they are overburdened with taxes

facturer, with the salaried man still

Would Abolish Prison Boards.

One OF the new bills TO carry out
the idea OF reforming state admins
tration generally has been introduced
by Rep. Wells. OF Cass county. 1t
would place all prisons OF the state
under a board Of three members, each
of whom would devote his time to the
work at a salary OF $4,000 a year.
The wardens would be named by and
be subject to this board. The present
boards OF control would be abolished.
The application of city traffic laws

Is the objective of several motor and

bill would require that all motor

TO observe traffic following them.
