MADISON MATTERS in
GRIST OF THE DAY
Legislature and Governor Dispose of
Many Odds and Ends Including
Authorization Resolutions.

Madison, Wis. - - Governor
Blaine today vetoed the bill increas-
ing the pay of members of the Mil
waukee county board to $4,000 al year
and the bill providing that the place
Of trial of an action for injury to per-
son or property against q person or
firm owning and operating a motor
vehicle shall be. in the county in
which the damage or injury arose.
The first measure, the executive
stated, violates the doctrine of home
rule. He had no objection to giving
the board the power to increase sal
aries of its members, he said, he could
not approve a measure that conpels a
county to pay increased salaries with
out consent or action by the county
board.
The other bill makes ownership and
operation of motor vehicle the test
as to the place of trial in damage cas-
es, according to the veto message.
Cases otherwise would be tried in the
county where the defendant lives, the
governor said, and he saw no logic in
making distinction in the case of
automobile owners.
Chiropody Bill Defeated.
The assembly today defeated the
johnson bill regulating the practice
Of chiropody and the $4,000 annual
appropriation for the state humane
agent. Non-concurrence was voted,
Al to 40. and 81 to %, respectively.
The chiropody bill would create a
ulating, opponents declared. This was
denied by the sponsors, who asserted
1t was a public welfare measure. As
semblymen Edwards, Lawson and Min
Ter opposed the human agents APP
preparation as unnecessary.
The bill establishing a fish hatch
cry in Douglas county was advanced
to engrossment and the measure
granting reclaimed lands along Green
Bay to the city Of Marinette for pub
lie park purposes was passed unani-
mously. The latter goes to the SEN
ate.
The Meggers resolution, adopted 48
to 3S, would memorabilia congress to
call convention to propose an amend
ment repeating the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution. It
goes to the senate. The other res
olution provides for referendum of
Wisconsin voters on the question
whether Congress shall be memorial
lied to modify the Volstead act to
permit the sale of beer.
The voters will pass on the beer
proposition in November, 1926, as a
result of the assembly concurrence,
by a vote of 81 to 81. An,amendment
providing for the referendum next
April, was rejected SO to 20. It was
offered by Assemblyman Edwards,
Sussex, who said he wanted to take
the question out of politics. Assem-
blyman Eber, Milwaukee, in opposing
it said its real purpose was to save
the face of some candidates who will
seek election to national Office in the
fall of 1926" The term of United
States Senator Lenroot expires at that
time.
The "old-time" saloon would be
barred under the beer proposal. An
amendment by Assemblyman PAIL,
Milwaukee, to prevent return Of sa-
lOOlS, ne Sdlu, was dOOptCd' ~ 000S
to the referendum question the pro-
vision that sale Of beer should be un-
der government supervision and that
the beverage should not be drunk on
the premises where it was sold.
The Heck resolution approving the
proposed initiative and referendum
amendment to the state constitution
with a provision designed to safeguard
religious bodies from legislative in
reference was concurred in, 55 to 81.
1t goes back to the senate for action
on the religious freedom" provision,
which was added in the lower house.
