HOUSE REFUSES
TO RECONSIDER
Votes Down Reconsidera-
ton of Printing Names
of Job Holders.
DISREGARD GOVERNOR

Madison. Wis.-The assembly this
morning refused, by vote of AS to as
to reconsider the vote by which it
adopted the Titus joint resolution,
providing for the publication in the
1925 blue book Of the names and sal
aries of officers and employees of state
department and boards. The resolu-
tion had been adopted by both houses
of the legislature.
The vote came after the message OF
Governor Blaine, urging tho adoption
with changes to include abundant I'M
formation and provision for an appro-
priation to pay the cost of publica-
tion had been read.
Clinton G.. Price, Mansion, who NOV
ed reconsideration last week after the
resolution had been adopted, explained
that he did not desire to keep the in
formation from the public, but that his
reason was based solely on the fact
that that no appropriation was provid-
ed for a supplement to the 1925 blue
book, an official publication of the
state.
Say Cost Will Be $4,000.
Under the contract recently let, the
blue book would cost approximately
$4,000, Mr.. Price said, and the infor-
nation requested in the resolution
would require a supplement of one
half the size of the book, entailing
an expense Of more than $4,000.
Charles B. Perry, Milwaukee, asked
several questions, including whether
any harm would be done by passing
the resolution with the understanding
that an appropriation bill would be
introduced. Mr.. Price, replied by call
ing attention to the governors mess
age, which stated that the resolution
in its present form would be "futile".
Mr.. Perry then said he understood
the contract for the 1925 blue book
was closed last Friday, the day that
Price moved reconsideration. If this
was fact, he said, the contract was
closed after the legislature had ex-
pressed itself favorably on the pro-
posal before the contract was closed.
Further discussion then was shut
off by speaker Sachtjen, who ruled
Berry out of order.
Judges Given Sanction.
Two additional circuit judges for
Milwaukee county, to be elected in
April, were approved when the as
sembly concurred, 81 to 9, in the bill
already passed by the senate.
The resolution seeking to limit the
introductions of bills to certain dates
this month was killed in the assembly
when an adverse committee report was
adopted, after an amendment had been
voted down.
The income tax bill was offered in
the lower house, but was returned to
the taxation committee for the pre-
paration Of report required under
the rules.
The assembly adopted, 70 to IL, a
resolution introduced by Robert Cald-
well Lodi, asking congress to submit
a constitutional amendment prohibit
ing further issuance of tax exempt Sc
curities.
In the senate Ben Gentleman of Mil
waukee offered sub amendment that
would refer the child labor ratifica-
tion issue to vote of the people.
However the presiding officer of the
senate ruled that the substitute was
not In proper form and not german to
the matter before the senate at that
time which was the Badway resolu-
ton for ratification.
Senator Fadway then delivered
speech on his resolution.
