ADOPTS HUBER RESOLUTION

After extended discussion, the Wis
consin senate Thursday adopted an
amendment to the state constitution
to establish the initiative and referen-
dunn. The vote was Is to IL.
For the last eight years attempts
have been made to get such a propos-
ed constitutional amendment before
the people, following their rejection
Of the plan at referendum in 1914.
This is the first success since that
time.
Senator Timothy Burke, Green Bay,
precipitated fight when he charged
that by making amendment to the
constitution more readily available the
Progressives were endangering con-
stitutional government. Senators
Huber and Quick defended the propo-
sal on the floor. Following is the
roll call:

Rental Agent Requires
Diplomats Art
of Tact

In analysing the functions OF
a rental department, it is OF
vital Importance to have COM
petent men in charge of this
work. The position Of the rem
tai agent frequently is one that
offers difficult situations, as the
agent necessarily acts as the go
between in matters Of disputes
between tenants and landlords.
Tact, patience and experience
are necessary in order to main
tain the mutual relation be-
tween landlord and tenant on
the proper basis. While the
agents primary duty 10 to the
landlord, he has certain moral
obligations to see that tenants
are treatfd fairly and their rea-
sonable requests promptly at
tended to.

PERSONAL THIRGT

The opponents of the Volstead Act,
especially in New York and New Jer-
sey. frankly admit that their best argu-
ment for the wine and beer measure
is not economic or political, but per-
sonal. They are thirsty for wine and
beer and it is too much trouble to make
them and too much expense to buy
them from bootleggers, so they want
wine and beer manufactured again, un-
der state supervision, to supply their
personal thirst
OF course, the enemies of prohibition
use the phase Personal liberty" but
what they mean really is Personal
thirst"
Meanwhile it is in order to ask
whether it is any more respectable to
make and sell wine and beer than any
other sort of intoxicants. In the his
tory of the wine-rooms of this country
more immortality and evil came out of
the wine-rooms than from some sa-
looms. 1t is fine and frank admis-
sion, however, that the vets make
when they openly say--"We want our
drinks"
