BACK GOVERNORS BILL
(By Associated Press)

Madison, VISA conference of the
Progressive Republicans to try to work
out an agreement on the tax problem
is being urged by Phil LaFollette, son
of Senator LaFollette, and Attorney
General Herman L. Ekern, it is learned.
They plan a meeting of legislative lead
ers on Saturday before the governors
revenue bill comes before the senate,
where it is expected by its opponents
to be killed.
With what response the call for a
gathering of the divergent Progressive
factions is meeting, cannot be deter
mined, legislators say. They expect
that it will meet with disfavor in>some
influential quarters, Many of the lead
ers say that an agreement between the
governor and some of his former
spokesman in the legislature is not to
be expected.
Before Committee Today.
Governor Blaine's income tax bill is
to be before the finance committee to-
day for action, providing a quorum is
present. The belief is general that the
most the governor can expect is a COM
mittee report on his bill without rec
ommendation. If vote is taken, com
mittee members say, it will be recon-
mended for killing.
There is some doubt concerning who
will be the governors floor leader when
his measure gets into the senate. SEN
ator H. j. Severson, formerly the ad-
ministration leader on all tax matters.
is opposed to the governors bill, he
says, and has declined even to have his
own tax measure on the calendar with
that of Governor Blaine's. Senator
Henry Huber, who is inexperienced in
tax matters, may take responsibility
for directing the proposal, it is said
at the governors Office.
To Muster Blaine Forces.
The conference being urged for Sat-
urday is said to have for it's purpose an
attempted mastering of forces behind
the governors bill to get it through
the senate, and should that fail, to get
agreement on the features of new
bill. Lieut.-Goy. Comings has written
Governor Blaine suggesting a confer
ence to consider the tax problems. The
acknowledgement, who presides over
the senate and is in close touch with
the lineup, sees no hope for the gov
ernor's tax bill. This opinion is shared
quite generally among leaders.
After the administration measure is
disposed of, the situation is expected
to clear somewhat. At that time Sena-
tor Severson intends to have his in
come surtax bill recalled from the
finance committee and placed ON the
calendar. Many senators believe that
this is the only bill that can survive
senate opposition, and Speaker Dahl
says that he has agreed to push the
Severson bill in the lower house.
Governor Blaine has not made known
his attitude toward other bills, that he
accepted earlier in the session, should
his own measure be killed.

GOVERNMENT MAY SAVE MONEY.


Washington.-Plans for saving the
government large sums of money III
rent and realty transactions, through
cooperation with the National Associ-
alton of Real Estate Boards, have been
mapped out by the Federal Real Estate
Board. The government has about
5000 leases, representing an aggregate
rental of $21,OO0,0OO. Coordinating
work will eliminate duplication, utilize
waste space and in other ways effect a
material saving in Uncle Sans rent
bill. One instance, where three sepa-
rate departments of the government
were leasing space in one building at
three different scales of rent, is cited
as an illustration of the possibility Of
saving large amounts by coordinating
all of the governments rental activities
in central board.

TOURISTS CROWD CAIRO HOTELS.

Alexandria, Egypt.-The presence of
hundreds of American tourists in Cairo
has caused congestion in the hotels.
Rooms usually occupied by a single
person have two or three persons in
them. In some cases bathrooms are
being utilized as bedrooms. Rooms are
SO scarce that tourists who are ac-
customed to the best are willing to put
UP with anything. Not since before
the war have Cairo hotels been so
overcrowded.

former stockholders in the Lakeview
company, at which an effort was made
to arrive at some means Of settlement
Of 100000 indebtedness that is owing,
either by suit against the bonding
Company, or by sale of lands or water
rights of some of the nonresident
land holders who feel inclined to re-
linquish their holdings.

Crackers Went
OFF In Growers a..
Rear Pocket

Judge w. S. Owens had another
perpleXing case to decide last Satur-
day when Elmer Owings, aged 10, was
brought before him for lighting a
bunch Of ~firecrackers in the hip pock-
ct of Grover Wray, Jr., blowing off
the seat of that young mans trousers
and leaving a blister that was both
painful and awkward upon his ana
tony.
The Judge looked through his law
books but found no Supreme Court
decision or law covering a cas- of this
kind, so he dismissed Elmer with a
reprimand and told him not to do it
again.
The Judge took into consideration
the fact that Grover or some other
boy had put a f%irecracker down inside
the front of Elmers shirt where it
had exploded and scorched him also.
in retaliation he had put a firecracker
in the first hip pocket he saw which
happened to have a bunch in it that
went off when lighted, with the above
result.

COpPERT OBJECTS
TO ENTERPRISE
STORY OF KILLING

The Enterprise has received a COM
munication from E. ]. Goppert taking
exception to some of the statements
made in its last issue relative to the
killing of George Sherrin by a deputy
and asking that these be corrected.
Mr.. Goppert cannot intimidate this
paper but it is as ready to be fair to
the prosecuting attorneys office as
to any other office or individual. This
is our busy week, however, and we
have not the time to investigate Mr..
Goppert's statements as to the errors
contained in the story to which he
obpects. Next week when we have
space and leisure we will give Mr..
Goppert's protest our attention.
