SOME CHANGES
TO BE MADE IN
ELECTION LAWS
Independents Make Howl in
Regard to Fall Election.
Sweeping Revision.

MADISON, November 22-Wisconsin
election laws will be the center of a
dispute in the next legislature, when
proposed changes to eliminate diff
culties which came up during the
present election will be made, accord
ing to legal officials today.
One of the chief proposals is a
clearer explanation of when the bal
lots shall be counted and when not,
based on the voters intentions, as
found in marks on the ballots. Dur
ing the recent election, considerable
discussion was had on the point as
to whether voters had to cross all 13
electors on the La Follette-Wheeler
independent ticket.
An early campaign statement by
the attorney general indicated that
such was necessary. An official opin-
ion, however, the day before election
held that to cross the names of La
Toilette and Wheeler at the top Of
the independent column was neces-
sary.
Under present laws, no circle ap-
pears at the top of the Independent
columns. 1t is expected bill will be
introduced to permit such when a
complete ticket is in the field. This
would have eliminated the difficulty
in tho La Toilette case. 1t is claimed
by La Toilette leaders that the mix
UP cost the Wisconsin senator APP
proximately $4,000 votes.
Another proposed change which
will come up will be alterations in
the present laws with regard to in
dependent candidates filing on pres
idential and state tickets. This year
the center of heated discussion be-
fore the general election on the Sin
gle Tax, Workers Party of America
and Socialist-Labor party tickets.
An effort also may be made accord
ing to reports received here from So
called stalwart republicans, to define
more clearly when candidates may
run under party designation. Such a
move is directed against the progress
sive republicans, it is said, who during
the recent election ran in the repub-
lican column, but supported the can
didacy of Sen. La Toilette, indepen-
dent for President.

FORESTRY
AMENDMENT
BIG WINNER
Joker in Wording Threatens
to Cripple Wisconsin
Highway Program.

The forestry amendment to the
state constitution, designe dto bring
back WiSconsin'S wealth in timber,
passed by substantial majority at
the fall election. The two-tenths of a.
mill tax will allow the state to ap-
propriate a tax of 100000 for for
estry purposes. This is based on a to-
tai taxable property valuation of
$4,950, 1881 But a serious "joker"
in the amendment is said by lawyers
to afford a chance of Gripping the
highway program, now around
$2000,000.00 year for regular state
Improvement and a similar sum to
meet federal aid on road projects.
Applies to Road Funds
The forestry provision adopted in
the recent election amends section 10
of Article VIII of the state constitu-
ton. This section, as it stands, pro-
hibits the state from engaging in in
ternal improvements except under a
grant of property to the state espe-
cially dedicated TO particular works
of internal improvements. An exist
ing provision also gives the state
power to appropriate money in the
treasury or to be thereafter raised by
taxation for the construction or i'm
provement of public highways"
The forestry amendment adds this
provision: provided that the state
may appropriate moneys for the pur-
pose of acquiring, preserving and de-
veloping the forests of the state; but
there shall not be appropriated I'M
der the authority of this action in any
one year an amount to exceed two
tenths of one mill of the taxable
property of the state as determined
by the last preceding state assess
ment."
The cocker" occurs in the use of
the phrase, under the authority of
this section" attorneys pointed out.
That phrase makes the limitation on
appropriations apply to the entire
section, which authorizes highway
expenditures by the state, farther
than to the newly added provision
authorizing the state to make appro-
priations for forestry purposes.
