| treasurer in a statement estimates
that the general fund will have bal
ance Of Sl1,0OO,0O0 on July !. and in
dicates that the finances Of Wisconsin
will be In a flourlshlng condition.
Johnson says his statement is not
issued for the purpose of influencing
tax legislation, but is given the people
of the state for the purpose Of showing
the general financial condition of the
commonwealth.
Following is the statement by the
state treasurer:
According to my estimate at this
time there win be, on July l, 1921
about SllO00OOO in the general fund.
In addition to this, we have 100000
coming from the federal government
for equipment Of troops during the late
war; which no doubt if effort is made,
can be collected Only One-half Of the
railroad taxes are included in above
statement The last half, due next fall,
viii amount to about $3,30000O These
amounts, with other revenue coming
in, should be sufficient to run the state
government if the legislature does not
venture into new enterprises
Glenn L. Turner Of Madison, a mem
Der of the Nonpartisan league and for
mer Socialist member Of the assembly
from Milwaukee, has been denied the
right to visit the assembly chamber by
vote in the house, which carried 81
to %. The ruction arose over an al
legged movement started by Turner to
have Assemhlyman II. w. Stokes Of
Waterloo, jefferson county, either
vote with the Progressiyes or resign
Petitions circulated in Stokes district
asked that Stokes change his course Of
action in the legislature in the future.
The house adopted a resolution which
declared that such petitions were ian
effort to intimidate a member of the
house" The resolution bars Turner
from coming into the assembly be-
cause of his activity in this matter
30 sooner had the resolution been
adopted than a motion to reconsider
was entered which comes up for
consideration on April Z. This is the
first time that the legislature has taken
such action in - years.
There are now registered at Madi-
son 240 Enthusiastically double the
number Of members of the legislature
and more are coming on every train.
Every bill calls forth a new delegation. .
Any man who appears even for one
minute on one bill must be classified
for that day in the lobby.
Women are more numerous in the
lobby at this session than ever before.
Probably II is their admission to citi-
zenshp ana the vote that has stirred
interest in legislation. Most women
appear on legislation Of social turn,
Others make a speciality Of measures
supposed to correct high prices, the
bane of the housewife.
Several organizations are represent
