Insurgent Wisconsin Delegation Faces Party Exclusion
In Washington on January 30 the House debated Longworth's claim that Wisconsin's La Follette faction forfeited party council rights by their campaign activity. White House backing supported excluding nonpledged members from the party caucus on February 21, with President Coolidge framing it as accountability, not punishment. Longworth said the move enforces the people’s mandate, though he denied punitive aims toward La Follette followers.

Proposal to Transfer Gasoline Tax to State Funds
Senator Oliver’s S B 58 belatedly appeared to amend law and divide gasoline tax 30 percent to the state highway commission and 70 percent to counties for roads and bridges. Estimated annual loss from the general fund would be about $100 000, while last year receipts were around $250 000. Dell’s bill 24 would allow county commissioners to solicit bids from neighboring counties when only one newspaper is published, a measure saved from slaughter by judiciary committee action and re-referred to counties and towns.
