MARKET BILLS

Legislature Backed by
Farmer Members.
JUNIOR COLLEGE BILL LOSES
Measure Which Would Permit Estab-
Iishment of Seven Institutions in
State Defeated by Assembly
by Vote of So to 80.

by Vote of So to 80.
Madison Thursday has been desig-
mated as the day on which all meas
ures having to do with the establish
ment of city markets will be given ar
tention by the general assembly.
There now are three important
bills pending before the legislature on
this subject. The j. G. Hanson bill
would permit the establishment of city
milk depots. Another bill would per-
nit the establishment Of a city market
in Milwaukee, to be operated under
the direction of the Milwaukee COM
mon council, and a third measure
embOdies a limited provision for the
establishment Of city markets in all
cities in the states. These bills brought
the fire of the legislature last week
and it was necessary to lay all of them
over for a general discussion at one
time The farmer members of the leg
iSlature are generally in favor of these
bills, but there is considerable opposi-
( ticn from other sections to the meas
ure. From municipal standpoint the
bills are considered among the most
important to come before the legisla-
ture.
Teachers retirement fund experts
may find that they have performed
their services for the state without
compensation. The assembly has
killed, by a vote of 30 to %, the bill
appropriating $4,000 additional to pay
the expenses of the special legislative
committee which investigated the sub
ject. A motion for reconsideration
has been entered and when the bill
comes up this week an effort will be
made to send it back to the finance
committee.
The assembly, by vote of 45 to 25,
has killed the Nye bill to permit the
awarding of city contracts for print
ing on the basis of circulation of the
paper instead of to the lowest bidder,
as now provided. An effort will prob
ably be made at this weeks session to
revive this bill.
The Nye junior college bill was de-
feated in the assembly by a vote of
50 to 80. This bill would have permit
ted the establishment Of seven Junior
colleges in the state, and it is quite
likely that, had the bill passed, the
first schools would have been estab-
lished at Racine and Superior.
Brief debates were held on the
measure. Assemblyman Frank HI.
Fowler. La Crosse. favored the bill
Holly of Kewaunee county.
The house killed the bill for an an
nual conference of district attorneys
of the state.
By a vote of 60 to 10. the assembly
killed the committee bill to prohibit
women sitting on juries. The measure
was denounced by Assemblymen John
L. Dahl and e. FL. Johnson.
Assemblyman Holly offered a substi-
tute amendment to the bill for the la
beling of wearing apparel and the
measure will come up again.
By vote of AZ to 80, the house en-
crossed an insurance bill providing for
experienced rating. The bill was OPP
posed by Assemblymen Dahl and Fow-
Ter, who declared it would work
against disabled soldiers. A similar
bill has already been killed in the sen
ate.
Engrossment was given to the Wer-
den bill for the establishment of res
ervoir at the headwaters of the Chip
pewa and Flambeau rivers.
The Zittlow bill, changing the moth
ers' pension law so that each locality
will pay the expense in accordance to
the people from that locality benefited,
was engrossed.
Present indications are that the new
dry enforcement bill will be ready for
presentation to the legislature DUR
ing the week. The bill, which is be-
ing drafted under the supervision of
Governor Blaine, is to be a short and
simplified measure, under which it is
hoped to get a uniform enforcement
with the federal government of the
dry laws of the state. That there will
be clashes between the Anti-Saloon
League and friends of the new meas
IRE seems almost certain. Assembly
man A. e. Matheson, author of the We
toed bill, in speaking on the floor, said
that the provision for abolishing cur
tains, booths and stalls in places
where drinks are sold was purposely
left out of the dry act because of the
effect it would have on drug stores
Governor Blaine took decided stand
in his veto against booths and stalls
and said that these places should be
open so that people could see what
was going on.
Blaine Vetoes Motor Bus Bill.
Governor Blaine vetoed the Perry
bill bringing motor bus lines under
jurisdiction of the state railroad com
