Still 80,000 salesmen are unemployed. People should not buy merchandise from merchants who do not patronize firms which employ salesmen. If everyone bought only from companies which bought from salesmen rather than telephone their orders or send their own buyers to the big cities, then a number of men would be put back to work.

A fair salary is the salesman's right." Mr. Smith read excerpts from some of the U. C. T. literature to show what the order is doing for the improvement of business in the country and, after the banquet.

PLAN THREE WEEKS FOR ENACTMENT OF NEW LIQUOR LAWS Legislators Contend, However, That Bills Relating to the Subject Will Call for Much Talking -The Wisconsin legislature in special session is to have about three weeks in which to devise and enact statutes taxing and regulating sale of hard liquor if present plans the state administration are followed, it has been revealed.

Gov. A. G. Schmedeman plans to delay calling a special session until after the 36th state has voted for repeal, attaches of the governor's office said. governor will anticipate outcome of ballots in then other states by calling for state liquor laws before votes in other states are registered.

The delay will not necessarily mean that Wisconsin will not have regulatory and taxing laws relating to hard liquor when its distribution is declared legal, it was pointed out. CERTIFY RESULTS TO CAPITAL The last states to vote will not be able to hold conventions and certify results to the national capital until after Dec. 6. If all states needed have voted for repeal conventions by Nov. 7.

Governor Schmedeman will call the special session immediately, it is said. The legislature then will convene about Nov. 15. The belief that three weeks will not be sufficient in which to enact liquor laws has been expressed by several legislators who contend bills relating to this subject will call for lengthy debate. They said they would do everything possible to avoid repetition of the situation when beer was legalized and sold, although the legislature had provided no regulatory or taxing laws.

If necessary a temporary law will be enacted to provide at least some restriction on the sale of hard liquor, legislators said. It would be followed by a permanent law devised and discussed by the legislature at leisure. Municipal officials are urging a relatively high tax on liquor, with half of the proceeds returned to cities in which revenues were col- lected. INCLUDE OTHER ISSUES principal controversy is expected to state center about distributing proposals sta- to liquor tions rather than allow taverns to sell spirits over bars. City officials have urged that restrictive laws be left for local governments to impose.

At least three other issues probably will be included in the governor's call. One concerns expansion of the conservation department's fire fighting equipment. Two others are to be proposed for the governor's consideration by the Wisconsin League of Municipalities. One bill would give the public service commission authority to issue utility rate reduction orders efrective on the date complaints were filed by municipal officials and the second would be designed to promote collection of property taxes on large buildings, the owners of which collect rent, but refuse to pay taxes. Under the proposed bill courts would be authorized to set aside rental money for tax payments.
