and is expected by them to be held in
reserve pending disposition Of the
other highway tax bills.
1t is pointed out by the highway
committee that none of the meas
ures is designated to raise more
money than is now raised for road
building purposes, The intent is,
according to the committee. to
transfer a large share of the tax
burden for highways from general
property to the automobile owner
who uses the roads.
While legislators point out that the
likelihood of passage of any of the
pending bills is considered scant,
they all are of the opinion that some
sort of road tax bill will be passed.
Next to the income tax problem.
the highway tax problem is consid-
cred the most important before the
present session. The increased road
building, according to legislators,
has so far increased taxes that the
need for a change in finance plans is
urgent.

The second night, however. standing
room was at premium, the
auditorium of the Lincoln high
school being literally packed
The play showed that Hurley has
considerable stage talent, and coupl-
ed with the talent borrowed" from
Ironwood the LaGrande Sisters
evolved a production that has not
been equaled on the range for some
time. Everything went off smooth

barrassing skipping Of lines, each
and every one of the characters and

The play was in three acts, the

New Iork's Chinatown and exterior

a good part of the comedy And this
they did exceedingly well McRae,
chief of Ironwood's police depart

Don't Want Game Laws Changed.


According to the concensus of
opinion at a meeting of the sports
men of Ashland last night with AS
semblyman F. c. Smith of Ashland
county, the present fish and game
laws are better than any of the pro
posed laws now before the legisla-
ture and a resolution was adopted
practically to that effect.
The wolf question was discussed
at length as was also the sewing up
of lakes by the millionaires by buying
up all the frontage.
The following resolutions were
passed:
That the grouse and partridge
season stand as it is now with the ex-
ception that there be a Saturday
and Sunday of open season in each
year.
That the one buck law remain on
the statute books but that the last
ten days in November would be
more satisfactory than from Novem-
Der 13 TO %.
That the fish laws be kept as they
are in relation of sizes of the various
spe lies but that the law be changed
to lower the number of a catch each
day.
That the migratory bird law be
changed to conform to the federal
statute.
That the legislature be asked to
pass law requiring all counties in
the state to pay bounty Of $40 for
wolves.
Assemblyman Smith said that he
would do what he could to carry out
the wishes Of those present.
The resolutions will be sent to
Senator C. H. Werden of this dis
trict, to Assemblyman Warden of
Bayfield, county and to Assemblyman
Marks of Iron county.-Ashland

HIGHWAY TAX BILL
NOW In SENATE
f;v.lv Scraps Are Promised When
Three Highway Measures Come
Up for Consideration.
NFxT TO INCOME TAX FIGHT
u:-Lwav Tax Problem Considered
Most Important in Legislature
Next to Income Tax
Problem.

Wadjson-Coming directly on the
Eaals Of the senate contest over
@bsroe in the state income tax
laws the three highway tax bills
lending in the senate members be-
|Teye will furnish an equally intense
Tgbt with the result even more in
doubt
The Joint committee on finance,
5aa3locked over the three road tax
Ems reported them to the senate
without recommendation as to the
.rrinciples involved. This committee
merely advised the legislature that
al of the bills would produce the
revenue which they were designed to
produce.
Committee members say that
neither the two highway committee
nor the Polakowski bill sponsored by
the league of Wisconsin municipal
lies and the county boards associa-
lion. could command any great
amount of strength in the finance
BODY. They all met strong opposi
.ton indicating, according to those
members actively interested in high
way legislation, that compromise
would have to be reached on the
FLOOR, if any road tax measure is to
be accepted.
Chief objection to the two high
Nay committee bills is said to have
home from city members and from
those who oppose weight as basis of
automobile taxation. The Polakow-
BIZ bill is reported to have met OBJ
iections from rural representatives,
bio control the assembly.
Of the two highway committee
Bills, one provides for a gasoline tax
"a two cents a gallon to be distri-
tuted to counties on the basis of
fural road mileage, and the other for
y graduated automobile license fee
from $40 to $50 based upon weight,
"a be retained by the state for con-
sruction and maintenance of 10000
niles Of state trunk highway. These
|kwo bills are estimated to raise Sill
100000 annually.
B The Polakowsk bill calls for
two-cent gasoline tax, a moderate
license fee from So to $24 based up
Han weight and a valuation tax in
pace Of the present personal pro-
rerty tax. This measure is estimat-
ga to produce $10,OO0,000 annually
"a be distributed to the state,
counties and cities.
Another bill, sponsored by AS
amblyman Caldwell, is still in the
hghway committee. This measure
Sflls for the present SO license fee,
q two-eent gasoline tax, and a 2 per
Nnt valuation tax. Out of the
21lnds raised by this measure, all
Sate AID would be paid and half of
Fe returns from the valuation tax
Rolld be returned to the localities.
Inc latter measure is considered
ssy legislators as compromise bill

Legislature Has Put Stop to New
Measures.

Madison-With nearly 1900 bills
now before it for consideration, the
legislature has finally put stop to
introduction of new measures, and
viii devote its entire time from now
on, in disposing of pending pro-
posals. Over roo bills have been
introduced into the assembly and
over 400 into the senate.
A joint resolution has just been
adopted, making it impossible TO in
troduce new measures, except by
unanimous consent of both houses.
This makes additional bills almost
impossible.
Now that tax legislation is tying
up important finace committee bills
and forcing the legislature to with
hold action on many subjects of leg
islature, the older members here eX-
pect that at least six weeks will be
required to clean up the business.
This win bring sine die adjournment
not sooner than the middle Of July.
The number of bills introduced
during the present session is slightly
larger than two years ago, when the
legislature adjourned sine die July
IS. There also are more important
subjects of proposed legislation
pending, so that the time when the
session completes its business is a
matter Of conjecture.
Committee hearings will be largely
discontinued after the present week
Bills then are to be referred direct
ly TO the calendar action in an eff
fort to expedite business.

PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE
STATES CONSTITUTION
Referendum Vote on Five Proposed
Changes Will Be Taken at the
Elections Next Year.


Madison-Five proposed changes
in the Wisconsin constitution have
nearly finished the devious journey
through two legislatures, and are al
most ready to go before the people
of the state for a referendum vote
during 1924.
One measure tripling the salary Of
members of the legislature by in
creasing them from $500 a
biennium to $3.50 year, will be
voted on at the April, 1924, election,
according to the terms of the bill
ordering the secretary of the state
to submit it. This bill was passed
Tuesday and sent to the governor for
signature today. The joint resolu-
ton that actually contains the
amendment has been passed by both
the 1921 and 1928 sessions.
The other four will be voted on at
the November, 1924, election unless
there is an unforeseen hitch in the
consent of the legislators.
Only one amendment passed by
the 1927 session was killed by this
session. The amendment by Senator
Werder, Ashland to allow the state
to 90 further into debt for the pur-
pose of financing farm credits, on
the South Dakota Plan" whereby
the state lends the money directly,
was killed in the assembly when it
came up for final passage, after be-
ing passed by the 1921 session, by
the senate twice this session, and by
the assembly once.
The four amendments to be voted
on in November 1924 are:
/. The "city home rule" amend
meut. This if adopted will prohibit
the legislature from passing legisla
ton that applies only to one NUM-
cipality. 1t provides that cities and
other municipalities which now have
only those powers of governmental
determination granted them by the
legislature shall have "all powers Of
determining their local affairs not
prohibited by the constitution or by
statewide enactment of the legisla-
ture." 1t would allow cities to
amend their charters, if such
changes did not conflict with the
law of the state.
,. An amendment to allow the
legislature to fix the salary of the
governor. This was adopted by the
1919 and 1921 sessions but no bill
ordering the secretary of state to
submit it to the people was passed
until this year. The governor now
gets $4,000 a year and certain main
tenance, including a house and
car, which, it is claimed, is not
enough for the states executive.
3. To amend the constitution to
allow the state to appropriate money
for the purpose Of acquiring pre-
serving, and developing the forests
of the state" This is limited by
the provision that there shall not be
appropriated in any one year under
this act an amount exceeding two
tenths of one mill on The taxable
valuation Of the property in the
state.
4. To allow the legislature to au-
thorize the choosing of additional
circuit judges in counties of more
than $4,000 population. This would
apply only to Milwaukee county at
present.
The voters Of the state killed two
out of three changes in the basic law
submitted to them last November
The only one adopted, which now is
in effect, allowed a valid verdict in
civil cases to be rendered by a vote
of five-sixths Of the members Of a
jury.

But, no, l never will.
CHORUS
My heart is yearning,
My dreams are turning
Ever to the yesterdays;
Tho time is flying,
There's no denying,
l love you still,
I always will.
You were deceiving,
You left me grieving,
But fond memory strays
To the girl of former years,
Dear heart of sweetheart days.
You chose to go your way, dear heart,
And you know twould make me sad.
Although l seem to smile, my dear,
My heart is far from glad.
