Republican majority will be largely
theoretical. for some of the western
representatives already have shown
that they care little 3oout admins

Only by Il revision of the rules TO

TO limit debate can the Harding adj
ministration hope to ge- through any
of the important measures it may

another appeal to public sentiment to

Six Can Block Action.
As matters stand now. six new, or
an even smaller group, can block ac-
ton by the Senate on any measure
they oppose simply by using up the
time in debate in relays. And one
more than third of the Senate can
always prevent the passage of mo-
ton by the remainder OF the Senate
to limit debate.
The principal opponents OF any
radical change in the Senate rules
have been Southern Democrats. The
latter have felt that the right OF I'M
limited debate alone prevents The
enactment of so-called force bill"
to extend the rights of the negro in
the South. 1t was filibustcr of
Southern Democrats which killed the
anti-lynching bill which passed the
House but which was abandoned by
the Republicans after they were con-
WINGED the entire time ot the Senate
would be taken up by Democratic
filibuster unless the measure was put
aside.
The Republicans. therefore. are the
natural champions of revision of
Senate rules. Without Il popular de-
mand for it. however, ;hc vote woul,
be taken along party lines and it is
conceded that with the decreased

FIGHT SECRECY CLAUSE

Repeal of the secrecy clause to the
Wisconsin income tax law is proposed
in a bill introduced in the senate
Thursday by Senator Herman j. Sew
erson, lola, the original sponsor of
this measure, which has been the
storm center of three legislative ses-
sions.
With the introduction of this bill
the administration has brought for
ward one of the principal issues of
the session. It's enactment has been
demanded by the governor, and it is
to receive the support of the admins
tration forces.
Should the proposal be incorporated
into law, all income tax reports would
be open to inspection by any inter
ested parties. Present restrictions
would be removed in order that the
income returns of corporations and in
dividuals might be available for pub
LEGATION.
A bill calling for the secrecy clause
repeal was first introduced in the leg
islature by Senator Severson Feb. s.,
1919, before there had been agitation
or talk on the subject. The corpora
tions committee in a divided report
recommended the bill for passage.
The measure passed the senate, II to
16 after two calls of the house. 1t
was in effect killed by the assembly
when multiplying amendments were
lacked on.
When the 1921 session got under
ay, Senator Severson again intro
duced his bill for repeal of the Sc
crecy clause. After being referred to
the corporations committee of the
senate and recalled and referred and
recalled, it was sent to the joint COM
mittee on divided report against the
bill. At vote on the floor, the meas
ure was nullified by an amendment
adopted by the senate, and as amend
ed was killed by the assembly.
Gov. Blaine then called a special
session of the legislature in March,
1922, to consider the proposal. Sem
ator Severson introduced the bill once

BILL AIMS TO HALT
RECKLESS DRIVING

A bill seeking the revocation of the
automobile license of any car that has
been driven recklessly was introduced
Thursday by Assemblyman A. B.
Blomberg, Price county, in the lower
house of the Wisconsin legislature.
The bill proposes to add new Sec
ton to the statutes providing that in
edition to any penalty for violation
of any provision of the statutes the
Judge before whom the case is tried
may revoke the registration of the
motor vehicle operated at the time.
The revocation may not exceed one
year, and during this period of revo-
cation the motor vehicle shall not be
operated on any public highway of
the state.

FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS

The little country schoolhouse in
Wisconsin will come into its own if a
bill being prepared by Representative
A. B. Blomberg, Price county, is
adopted by the Wisconsin legislature.
An appropriation of at least $5,O0O,-
900 annually will be asked by Mr..
Blomberg to equalize the chances for
each child in the rural districts for an
education.
Another plan would be the trans
ferring of the proceeds from the state
inheritance tax fund to be distributed,
by inverse ratio, throughout the rural
districts of the state.
Sufficient money cannot be raised
for the education of the children in
the rural districts by the rural dis
tricts, Mr.. Blomberg declared. This
is true in the northern part of the
state particularly, he said, where the
lands, nearly all cut-over, are of little
or no value.

SOCIALIST WOULD ABOLISH
WIS. NATIONAL GUARD

Abolition of the Wisconsin National
guard is asked in two bills introduced
in the senate of the Wisconsin legis-
lature Thursday by Senator J. J.
Hirsch, Milwaukee, Socialist, and in
the assembly by Assemblyman John
Polakowski, Milwaukee, Socialist.
The two measures call for repeal of
the section of the statue creating the
state national guard. They would in
effect abolish the adjutant generals
department and do away with the
guard. The state would be dependent
upon federal troops should ever an
emergency require the use of troops.
The Socialists contend that the ma
tional guard has cost Wisconsin
$2,817,000 during the last nine years,
exclusive of wartime expenditures,
They say that during the last year
$575,000 was appropriated to the
guard in the state, while $685. 900 was
expended in 1920-21, according to
their figures.
Point is made of the fact that the
Republicans include a plank against
militarism in their platform. This, the
Socialists assert, makes it incumbent
upon them to support a move to cut
down expenses for military purposes
il the state. They assert that out
of the $5O,OO0,0OO annually paid in
taxes by the state to the federal gov
eminent $4O,000,0O0 goes to the sup
port of the national military organiza.
ton, and argue that the state should
be able to depend upon this organiza-
ton for police protection.

The effect of the proposed new tax
law, rumored to have been drafted
by Judge Charles D. Rosa, member OF
the Wisconsin tax commission, is to
increase taxes sharply on large IN
comes of individuals. 1t created a new
fund in the state treasury to be known
as "the state incdme tax fund"
Any balance in this income tax
fund above appropriations and above
$1,000,000 will be held to guard
against unexpected shrinkages in in
come and will be paid annually into
the common school fund.
1t will wipe out entirely any state
tax, and will readjust the tax burden
of property and incomes to approx
mately the relation that existed when
the income tax law was enacted In
1911. The secrecy clause would be re-
pealed by the proposed statute.
Thorough its operation the revenue
to cities from income taxes will be
increased slightly, although their pro-
portion of the whole is less.
BY repeal of the present special mil
taxes for school purposes, property
taxes will be cut approximately 49,
100000. This amount will be made
up by repeal of the personal property
offset, expected to add $4,000,000 to

STATE
LEGISLATURE
ADMINISTRATION TAX BILL

Following are the high lights in the
administration tax bill, the most i'm
uortant measure to be brought before
the present session of the Wisconsin
legislature:
This measure, the most important
single proposal to be brought before
the present session of the Legislature,
repeals the three-eighths mill tax for
the university, the seven-tenths mill
tax for the common schools, the one
sixth mill tax for normal schools, and
the surtax to raise funds for the
teachers insurance and retirement
fund.
A fiat tax of 6 per cent is set by
the bill on the net income of all cor
porations in the state.
1t removes the personal property
tax offset to the income tax, leaves
the exemptions under the income tax
at the present level of $500 for sin
gle person and $1,000 for married
person, and establishes an entirely
new set of rates.
Re apportionment of returns from
the state incdme tax is provided IN
the administration bill. 1t calls for
distribution Of the revenue on the
basis of so percent to the state, 10
percent to counties and 40 percent to
municipalities, in place of the pres
ent apportionments of 10 per cent to
the state, 20 percent to the counties
and 10 percent to the municipalities.
Following is the rate schedule on
taxable income set by the administra-
ton proposal:

ASK TO HAVE LA TOILETTE
"ROUND ROBIN" BURN ED

Public burning of the "round robin
signed during the war by severa! hun
dren university of Wisconsin profess
sors, denouncing the war record ct
Senator Robert M. La Toilette, is or
dered by a resolution intr' ,duced in
the state senate Friday by Henry A.
Huber, administration leqder in the
upper house.
This resolution, indorsed by Gov,
Blaine and backed by the La Toilette
forces in control of the legislature, di-
reefs the librarian of the Wisconsin
Historical society to turn over the
document containing the signatures of
the university professors to the super
intendent of public property, who is
ordered to destroy it.
A great public demonstration in
connection with the bonfire is planned
by the La Toilette hackers, if the re-
solution introduced by Senator Huber
is adopted. 1t is the first of the
moves planned by the admin. stration
publicly to clear the war record of the
senior Wisconsin senator.
Following is the resolutions:
"Whereas, on Feb. 2, 1918, there
was filed in the historical library OF
the state of Wisconsin a certain docu-
ment signed generally by the men,
bers of the faculty of the University
of Wisconsin, which document con-
tains libelous aspersions on the record
and character of Robert M. La Fol
lette, Wisconsin's most distinguished
citizen; and,
Whereas, many members of the
faculty of the University of Wiscon.
sin were induced to sign such docu-
ment under duress and intimidation
and now desire the wrong done Senat-
or La Toilette defaced from the pub
lie records; and,
"Whereas, Senator Robert M. La
| Toilette is most distinguished
alumnus of the University of Wiscon
sin and such documents on file are &
continuing insult to the senator anc
disgrace to their authors; and,
Whereas, at the recent election
the people of Wisconsin elected Sena
tor La Toilette by a majority of 278,
552 votes, the largest majority evel
given to public official of this state
strongly indorsing his public record
and repuditing his detractors; now
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the senate, the as
sembly concurring, that the librarian
of the State Historical society be ant
is hereby directed to turn such docu
ments over to the superintendent o.
public property and that the superin
tendent of public property cause the
same to be publicly destroyed by
burning"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee, which is con
trolled by the La Follette-Blaine fore
es, and a hearing will be neld al
which several university professor
are expected to appear.

Let me tell you about the remarkable
discovery which removed my super
fluous hair at once-then forever

numerous ways to relieve the
condition-even the painful electric
needle.
Now | want every woman who
suffers from unsightly, embarrass-
ing hair growths, to know about
this discovery which removes the
hair at once, and with few
applications removes it perma-
nently. / want to tell women
how they can use this method
themselves, in the privacy of their
homes, and prove, without risking
a penny, that it is all ! claim
for it.
l say that this discovery will
remove superfluous hair permo-
nentiy, and that it is the only
method that know of which will
do this.
The discovery which Science
brought to me is unlike anything
else you have ever tried. 1t is not
a powder, not a paste, not
wax, not a liquid, not a razor, not
electrolysis. 1t causes no pain
no burning, no itching, no soaring.
1t not only removes the hair--it
gives the skin a new beauty
makes it soft, clear, rosy, free
from pimples, roughness and other
blemishes. 1t does not have to be
applied by a beauty specialist.
You use it yourself. It's the sim
plest, easiest way you can imagine.
