Assemblyman Vincent Be-
lieves There VIII be No
Tax Legislation.
OPPOSES EXTRA HOUR
Makes Caustic Remarks About
Daylight Saving Explaining
Why He is Against 1t.

81 am of the opinion that there will
be no tax legislation at the present
session of the legislature. l am not
aware of the immediate need of such
legislation and l know that a lot of
the members of both the lower house
and the senate feel the same about it
as l do" was the comment of Assem-
blyman D. ]. Vincent of Wilmot, who
dropped off in Kenosha today on his
way to Madison for the resumption of
legislative sessions on the morrow.
81 can say certainly" continued the
Assemblyman, chat there will be no
sine die adjournment of the house
during the present month and some
of US will probably be hanging about
Madison long after the Fourth of July.
Members of the assembly could close
up their business in very short order,
but we must wait on the senate and
you know what that means"
Dahl Bill Might Get Through.
Assemblyman Vincent said that he
appreciated the fact that there was
possibility that the Dahl taxation
bill might be passed by the assembly.
81 am not at all certain that the
speakers bill can get through the
assembly" he said, land it is pretty
certain that the senate is not going
to look very kindly on it. If it gets
a majority vote in the lower house it
will have to be submitted to a lot of
amendments. Of course, the speaker
is willing to have it amended and he
is anxious to have tax legislation bear
his name, but the~governor wants the
same thing and it is long ways be-
tween the ideas of the governor and
the ideas of the speaker. Members
of the two houses are worn out with
the continual pickering back and forth
between the two camps of the So
called administration people. The most
of US would like to close up shop and
quit as we do not feel that there is
need of any more legislation"
Tucker Bill On Its Way.
Assemblyman Vincent insisted that
he would give his clothes" and come
home in barrel to sde the Tucker bill
go up to Governor Blaine for action
Of course the Assemblyman is not 60
ing to subject his own principles to
utter rout and vote for the bill to get
this amazing trial of the governors
ability to side step, but he chuckled
this morning as he suggested the pos
sibility of Governor Blaine playing the
part of western "Al Smith"
81 don't know as the Tucker bill to
repeal the Severson law can get thru
the assembly when it comes up for
final action. It only had four ma
jority the other day and there were a
lot of empty seats when the vote was
taken. l admit that | went over to
the senate after the house engrossed
the bill and told some of the fellows
over there that l liked my clothes and
they fitted me we'll, but that I would
be willing to give them to them if
they would just slip this bill along
to Blaine and put him in the sweat
box with it. 1t would be worth a lot
to some of us to see just how the
governor would handle it. But then
the assembly may never pass it finally
and it hasn't much Of chance when
1t gets up to the senate" concluded
the Assemblyman.
Strong Against Daylight Saving.
The Assemblyman from the western
part of the county has not changed
his mind bit on daylight saving or
daylight wasting" as he calls it, He
copfded this morning that his opposi-
ton had been just little deeper
rooted on account of experiences in
Kenosha. He admitted that one after
noon when he was on his way back
to Madison he, had run half the way
to the railroad station only to find
that he was forced to visit for an hour
with the station master waiting for his
train. ~ admit that when l got to
Madison the next morning I was rar-
ing to go and vote out daylight saw
ing" was his comment.
The Assemblyman proposed new
cause for complaint against the saw
ing of the hour. He declared that the
men working in the fields did not take
kindly to automobile parties dropping
out along the road just about the
shank of working afternoon. "Why
when the men out in the fields see
those fellows whooping it up along the
road in the automobiles they lust get
disguised and want to quit right
there said the Assemblyman, "and
you can't blame them"
