Supreme Court Decisions.

The need of a new judge on the
Supreme Court of Wisconsin was
shown at Madison, in two cases de-
cided by that tribunal. In both the
court divided, 3 to 8. The number Of
judges of the court is seven, but
vacancy was created by the death of
the late Justice ]. G. Kerwin. The
first case in which the court divided
was that of the South Side Malleable
Casting company against the Four
Wheel Drive company involving about
$4,000. The lower court decided in
favor of the casting company and by
a divided court that decision was af-
firmed. The second case is that OF
M. III. Kahn against Sally Delaney,
Madison, involving the collection of
about $500 for a defective fir coat.
The lower court held that Miss De-
laney did not have to pay. By di-
vided court the Judgment was af-
firmed. The John Weeks Lumber
company case which has been before
the court several times during the last
ten years was finally decided on.
This was an action in which Barney
Polebitski, Stevens Point, sought to
recover damages caused by logs
which had fioated upon his property.
The lower court held that damages
could not be collected, and this de-
cisiOn upheld.

May Mean Extra Session.

Adoption of the ingalls, joint resolu-
ton by the assembly may prevent any
legislation relative to taxation at this
session and force Gov. John ]. Blaine
to call an extra session to provide mil
lions of dollars necessary for support
of state institutions. The ingalls, joint
resolution calls for an interim survey
of the taxation problem by a leglsla-
tive committee. Assemblymen in
adopting the. resolution in effect served
notice they would support no taxation
program until after legislative COM
mittee had made a survey of the prob
lem and recommended a course of ac-
ton. The effect is far-reaching, for it
postpones settlement of the problem in
face of demands reaching into the mil
lions. Concurrence in the resolution
is now sought of the senate. The In
gals joint resolution, calling for leg.
islative committee to investigate the
problem of taxation was adopted by
the assembly by vote of 52 to 81.
The resolution calls for an interim COM
mittee consisting of five assemblymen
and three senators to make survey
of the tax problem, investigate various
systems of taxation relating to both
property and incomes and recommend
any changes the committee members
deem advisable. The resolution was
adopted after a fight in which no at
tempt was made to disguise the fact
that it's passage would throw the taxa
ton question over this session. At the
last minute, the author of the resolu-
ton, Wallace ingalls,, assemblyman
from Racine, amended it that the COM
mittee might report at special SEES
sion.
