THREE WATERWAY BILLS Companion Legislation to Larger , Proposition Sent to House for Ratification--Wets and Drys in Deadlock. v Springfield.--The present week is scheduled by the Illinois legislature, by joint resolution, for action on the pendingv revenue' measures, which, it is believed, will likely occupy the major portion of the week, and few other matters are to receive consideration. There are several revenue bills that demand early attention. Three companion waterway bills were passed by the senate to go with the big measure that got through the senate a few days ago. One authorizes the state to Issue $20,000,000 In bonds to carry on the construction work In accordance with the measure recently passed and in keeping with the bond issue ratified by the people In 1906. Another makes an appropriation of the $20,000,000 so that the money will be available to start the work after July 1. The third measure, sent to the house for concurrent action, gives the state all rights In the Illinois and Michigan canal, sometimes referred to as the "Tadpole ditch." The measure gives the department of public works of the state authority to investigate the title to land along the canal with a view to determining the state's title to canal rights. Wets and drys In the legislature are In a deadlock over the fixing of a new field day date on which the pending legislation relating to the liquor traffic Is to be considered and voted up or down. The wets want a postponement to May 21 and the drys say they will compromise and make it May 14. or they would prefer to advance it to May 6, The wets are asking for postponement because of a down-state judicial election. Thomas Curran, the wet leader, is Insisting on the May 21 date. The big measure at stake is the bill which seeks to create a commission to be vested with authority to enforce the federal prohibition amendment. The wets have taken a determined stand against the prohibition commission measure. Indications are that the backbone of the opposition toward enactment of the bill eliminating the state board of equalisation has been broken. Inside information suggests that the present membership of the state board is divided, almost 50-50, upon the proposition of its own abolition. The Buck motion picture state censorship bill was taken up In the house and referred to the house Judiciary committee. The Havtll house bill, somewhat like the Buck bill. Is to have a public hearing In Chicago on Saturday, May 3. The b(ll Is in the hands of a subcommittee. The senate failed to pass the free textbook bill sent over from the house. It received only 24 votes, or two less than the necessary majority. Senator Carroll of Chicago put a bill in the senate which seeks to. Increase the salary of legislators to $5,- 000 a session from $3,500. Representative Fred B. Shearer of Aurora has prepared a bill which would prohibit Judges in Illinois, except supreme court Justices, from wearing robes while on the bench. The measure fixes a penalty at $50 for violation. Drafting of the bill was said to have been prompted by the recent decision of judges In Chicago to don robes. Senator Sadler has introduced a bill amending the law In relation to punishment of criminals by providing that where a person has been convicted of grand larceny, horse stealing, forgery, counterfeiting, committed after such first conviction the penalty shall be for the full term. Second offenses are punishable b.v not less than 15 years in the penitentiary. Representative Hicks has introduced a bill in the house authorizing the installation of an electrical system of registering votes cast in the Illinois house of representatives and appropriating $3,000 for the purpose. The proposed system is the same as that now in use In the Wisconsin legislature. Representative Vice has a bill prohibiting the dealing in puts and calls, ups and downs, purchases and sales, bids and offers, and indemnities by any corporation, association, firm, copartnership or individuals.

Divorce Not Effective for One Year. Marriages would not be dissolved until one year after a divorce is granted in Illinois if a bill introduced In the house becomes a law. Representative Clarence A.

It amends the divorce law by providing that the decree of the court shall not become operative <*r eflVctire no as to dissolve I lie marriage for oue year from the date of Its' entry.

Senator Glackin attempted to call up the house joint resolution introduced by Representative Cola, calling upon President Wilson and the peace conference delegates to rcognize the territorial claims of Italy. Consideration was postponed because of the Italian situation at the peace conference. Zion City Petitioners Added. Senator Rodney B. Swift of Llbertyville, who was bitterly attacked by Wilbur Glenn Vollva, overseer of Zion City, because of his support of the Investigation of Vollva and his church, read into the record of the senate a petition of more than 100 names of Zion citizens who asked that the investigation be made. This was an answer to a challenge from Vollva to produce the names. Farmers Object to Increased Rental. . Seventy farmers, tenants on 9,000 acres of land in Grundy county, owned by the Lord Scully interests in England, visited Governor Lowden to ask aid. Rents have been raised from $6 to $10 an acre a year, they declared, and because each has from $8,000 to $12,000 Invested in his farm they are unable to move. They are to present their grievance before a bouae committee. To Visit Old 8alem. Members of the Illinois general assembly will be guests of the Old Salem league ait Petersburg, Thursday, May 1.

State to Get $4,152,546 for Roads. The federal bureau of public roads has Just completed its report on the allotment of money to the states for building and improvement of roads. Under the plan $4,152,546 will be available for Illinois on July 1. The bureau is putting the finishing touches on the plans for the most comprehensive road campaign ever undertaken by any government, made p«S' sible by congress appropriating $209,' 000,000. The states are required to expend at least dollar for dollar with the fed eral government. Illinois is among the leaders, if not the leader, of the states In scientific, systematic road building, according to officials of the bureau, and it has submitted and bad approved the longest continuous line of highways, One is the trunk line across the northern part of the state, innde up of 14 sections, about 75 miles in length. Seven sections of this have been completed and work Is now proceeding on two other trunk lines--one from Chicago to Rock Island afid another from Chicago to St. Louis by way of Danville. Wright Urges State Eeonomy. Omar Wright, director of the state department of finance, has sent out letters to all department and division heads, urging them to keep the average of expenditures down to a minimum for the coming two inontt^. The letter follows: "Only about two months remain of the present blennlum. Tonr attention is called specifically to the fact that every head of a division and every employee who Is Interested in the success of the civil administrative code should be especially watchful and endeavor to keep the average of expenditures for these two months down to the lowest possible point. "It may not be true that at the end of some blenniums in the past an endeavor has been made to use up all the money in the appropriation, but under the new, and we believe more businesslike methods, an endeavor should be made to return to the treasury as large an amount as possible. "Requisitions will be more carefully scrutinized by this department during the next two months than heretofore In order that no unnecessary purchases or expenditures are made. No salaries should be increased unless specifically provided for In appropriations. . '•Instructions will be issued later regarding the reports to be made as of June 30. Please have that matter In mit^d and upon receipt of the instructions, follow them out as requested." Senate Bill Bars German in Schools. Under the terms of a bill passed In the Illinois senate the teaching of the German language as the basic language is prohibited in public, private and parochial schools. The bill, which was sponsored by Senator Jewell, makes English the basic language to be' taught In all schools. There was virtually no objection to the bill. Th^ measure does not prohibit Instruction in Latin, Greek and other languages, making a distinction with the term "basic language," which most be English. To Ask for Improvement*.

Imports from manufacturers as received by the bureau of mark eta, de^ partment of agriculture, show that there waa less wool used In February than at any time since such statistics have been compiled. The February consumption amounted to 27,500,000 pounds in the grease, compared with 63,700,000 pounds In February of last year. Strikes which shut down mills and the inability of small mills to secure wool because the wool sold by the government at auction was aold on a cash basis, furnished the reason for the small February consumption.
