BLAINE'S VETO
Is OVERRIDDEN
Conservatives Score a Vic
tory Says Assemblyman
Conrad Shearer.
THE FISHING QUESTION

Assembly session Wednesday proved
a real field day for the conservative
forces. The first victory came thru
the passing of Bill 274A, over the
governors veto by vote of So to IL.
Of the several vetoes thus far, this
is the first measure to secure the nee
essary two-thirds vote. 1t it secures
similar action in the senate, Bill 274A
will be enacted into law. Bill 285S,
relating to the practice of chiropody,
was reconsidered and went to third
reading by a vote of 46 to 81. Bill
1925, creating more school holidays,
went down to final defeat to the tune
of 45 to 43. The real battle came over
Bill 559A, Blaine's highway Commits
sion measure. Three amendments were
decisively defeated and then the bill
itself was buried by vote of 66 to
81.
Frequently has the writer been ask
ed about living conditions in Madison.
People residing in other sections OF
the state believe that food costs in the
capital city are excessive. This is
mistaken idea. Our experience has
been that board is not only more reas-
enable, but better than in most other
cities. Restaurant competition is keen
and the eating-houses cater to their
patrons. Any complaint receives i'm
mediate attention. 1t is no uncommon
practice for the waitress to ask the
patron if he cares for a second cup of
coffee. Good wholesome food is served
at most places and service is gener-
Gus. Meal prices vary from reasonable
to as high IS one desires to pay. An
individual With ordinary appetite
may be sat.sfed as follows: breakfast,
rs to 80 cents; lunch, IS to 40 cents;
dinner, 45 TO so cents. These prices
are standard in practically all the
leading restaurants of Madison.
To fish or not to fish was burning
question with the members from Ke-
nosha county. Acting upon petitions
from his district, Assemblyman Vim
cent amended the Ellenbecker bill to
permit fishing on waters of his county
after May 20, 1925. About a week ago,
the second district member was in
formed that the governor had signed
the bill, and while at home May % and
%, he informed his constituents that
they might fish over Memorial Day.
CONSERVATION reirned supreme when
on Wednesday kilograms came from
the lake resorts saying that with full
reservations they were informed that
the fish bill had not been signed. Quick
work Thursday morning secured the
passage of a necessary amendment
- RNy
noon of that day the measure bore the
signature of the executive and was
registered in the office of the secretary
Of state.
1t is not unusual among visitors to
the capital to find delegations of stu
dents headed by their teachers. On
May 81, County Superintendent Kelly
of Green Lake county, together with
the teachers and graduating class of
the county normal school at Berlin,
came to Madison for the closing exer-
cises of the year. The visitors were
cordially greeted in the assembly
chamber by Assemblyman Brooks of
Green Lake county. Graduating ex-
ercises were held in the reception
room of the governor and the diplomas
presented. Governor Blaine and State
Superintendent Callahan addressed the
class. Following the graduation exer-
cises the class visited the various de-
partments in the capitol and viewed
the city from the dome. Superinten-
dent Kelly interviewed the governor
in behalf of the bill relating to state
aid for county normals. Exercises Of
the Green county schools are unique
in the new departure of graduating at
the capitol
Several Kenosha Visitors.
Two home people, Superintendent
Johnson of the Balm Wagon company,
and Mr.. Rasmussen visited the assem-
bly, early in the week. The annual
meeting of the League of Municipali-
ties brought to Madison city officials
from all sections of the state. City
Manager C. NJ Osborn and City Attor-
ney Clifford E. Randall represented
our city at the convention.
The day of final adjournment has
again been set ahead. At one time it
was June /, now it goes to June IL.
The air about the capitol is dense with
investigation. Everything and every.
body must be scrutinized carefully be.
fore the legislature adjourns sine dies
Ii our opinion, we should finish all
regular business and go home. Let
the "real scrappers" remain on the
Job and investigate all summer.
