Legislature, -

buTduce Is not 10 come De1Or0 the
Wisconsin legislature at the present
session as a squarely presented issue,
Senator Henry Huber, author of the
pending unemployment insurance bill,
said He declared that the whole
question involved in his proposal
would more than likely be referred
TO an interim committee through
adoption of the Titus substitute
amendment.
Senators of all factions say that the
bill providing for establishment of
compulsory job insurance, would meet
defeat by two or three margin ma
Jority should it come directly before
the upper house. They point out that
the lines are so drawn that the pro-
posal faces certain defeat at the pres
ent session.
1t is explained that for this reason
proponents of the measure are will
ing that it be submitted to an interim
committee for study. At the end of
two years this committee report
would be submitted to the legislature
with definite recommendation.
The Huber unemployment insur-
@nce bill has attracted widespread
attention throughout the country, and
has caused a stir among Wisconsin
business men, many of whom have
opposed the bill at the several COM
mittee hearings. Several times the
senate was on the verge of voting on
the bill, but each time action was de-
layed at the request of the proposals
sponsors
AT present the finance committee
has the measure under consideration

siIIboards to Stay on Highways
The highways of Wisconsin will
continue to be advertising mediums
for merchants and manufacturers.
The senate passed bill by the com
mittee on highways prohibiting bill.
boards and signs on the state trunk
highways, but the house killed it, 29
TO 23
If the bill had passed it would have
provided that only signs authorized
by the state highway commission
would be allowed along the country
roads. These signs would be limited
to road information and warnings of
grade crossings.
One of the big objections mentioned
against promiscuous advertising, signs
along the roads is the use of the word
stop or some other warning, to call
motorists attention to some hotel or
other place of business.
