ASSEMBLY TAX BILL
ACTION NOT so SURE
Administration Leaders Claim Little
More Than Bare Majority and Oppo-
sitiOn Working Hard for Votes.

Madison, Wis.-Sentiment in the as
sembly on the income tax bill was
more sharply divided today, on the eve
of the measures consideration by the
lower house. The bill, originally fea-
tured by the administration and
amended to the senate to comply
with Socialist desires is scheduled for
tomorrow. the question being whether
it shall be ordered to third reading.
Administration progressive leaders
agreed that their strength in support
of the measure amounted to slightly
more than fifty members, a majority
Chairman George Schmidt of the taxa
ton committee placed the figure at 81
including the seven socialists after
canvassing the membership. The con-
servatives would not indicate what
strength they expected. They would
have Al votes, under the administra-
ton figures.
The conservatives held caucus
last night, the results of which were
announced. The proponents of the
bill will not hold conference, speak
err Sachtjen said, as their forces are
considered intact. Whether, action on
the measure will be obtained tomor-
row. is uncertain although Leaders
of both sides said they had not heard
of any substitute amendments which
would delay consideration for several
days.
The bill, as finally amended provid-
es principally for repeal of the per-
sonal property offset, increase in in
dividual exemptions and reapportion-
ment of the revenues.
Enabling legislation under the home
rule amendment would be held up
pending an investigation by an interim
committee under a resolution intro
duced by Assemblyman Geraldson,
Superior. The committee would rec
ommend satisfactory legislation at
the 1927 session, the proposal pro-
vides.
Uncertainty and disagreement of
legal opinion exist as to the practical
meaning and effect of the home rule
amendment and upon the method to
be adopted to put the same into op-
eration," the resolution states.
The assembly municipalities COM
mittee reported the Prescott bill re-
peallnR the lZO IOOC EeSCFlCbloH Oh
buildings heights for passage.
The assembly last night refused to
kill three measures by indefinite
postponement as recommended, and or
dered them engrossed. The bills would
repeal state aid for farmers Institutes,
require rear lights for all vehicles and
permit adjustment of the debts of
farmers when mortgages payable in
installments are foreclosed.
The Caldwell bill to abolish the state
fair and conduct an industrial and
agricultural exposition in Madison un-
der state board of varied industries
was rejected by the assembly, when it
was indefinitely postponed.
The Thorp bill prohibiting mem
bership of state, county and municipal
employees in labor unions also was
killed. The lower house ordered en-
crossed the Olson bill permitting sale
of process cheese under a suitable
label.
