duce Measure TO Deprive Delin-
ouents of Vote-To Celebrate
Completion of State Capitol.
BY FRED |. HOLMES.

July of each year. Following the holt
day season taxes come as an unusual
blow upon people and Assemblyman
French believes that if the tax-pay-
ing period could be divided there would
be greater satisfaction.
Such bill, however. has many COM
plicatioDs. Three successive sessions
of The legislature have attempted TO
work out this plan but it has entailed
such a revision of the tax laws in Wis
consin that it has always been aban-
doned. Assemblyman French points
| out, however, that such a plan has
worked out successfully in the state of
Minnesota.
NO taxes, no vote" is the stand that
Assemblyman Henry W. Stokes of Wa
rerloo takes.
He proposes 10 introduce a bill
aimed at non-taxpayers and delin-
quents who would be able to vote
heavy burden of taxes on other tax
payers OF the locality under present
laws
Attorney General William J. Nor
gan, in an opinion says he is confident
the law is constitutional.
A celebration in the form of sum-
mer carnival with numerous fete
events, is being fostered by Senator
George Staudenmayer TO commemorate
the completion of the state capitol.
At that time it was not found fes-s-
IDLE TO hold appropriate ceremonies,
and il is Senator Staudennayer's idea
10 hold the event this year, perhaps in
August.
Assemblyman Conrad WeittenhilIer.
Platteyille, is preparing a bin that. if
| made state law, will prove a cruel
| blow to justices of the peace and cler-
| gymen in Rockford and Waukegan,
| H.. and other favored Gretna Greens.

gal. Incidentally, the clippers would

ance with the Wisconsin eugenic law.
