State to Curb Swollen Fortunes
Madison Wis June 29 Two important resolutions passed the assembly yesterday. One provides a constitutional amendment by submitting to the people the question of income tax. By a strong vote the assembly concurred in the resolution which it intends to back up next session by a stringent law taxing swollen fortunes. It also concurred in the resolution for an amendment to the constitution for a direct vote on United States senators. It killed the Ekern resolution to incorporate the civil service law as a part of the constitution. Bancroft spoke defeating it and saying it bound the hands of the future. It also refused the passage to the senate resolution to submit the laws to the people on petition. One blow of the axe killed thirty two bills.
