Madison Wis. May 18.-Senators
Owen and Gaylord had a mild debate
today on the BrOckhausen joint resO-
luton memOrializ;ng congress to bring
about uniform system of game pro-
lection. Senator Owen said congress
could do nothing without amending
the constitution, to which Gaylord re-
piled there were many desirable
things that could not be brought about
without constitutional amendments.
They finally agreed to let the resolu-
ton be referred to the committee on
fish and game for further considera-
ton.
When the Blaine bill for aid to the
state mining school came up Senator
Hudnall explained it, 1t provides
$4,000 a year for two years for the
school and also permits county boards
and cities to aid. After 1912 the state
can pay two-thirds cost of mainte-
nance, but not over $4,000 year.
Senator Gaylord asked many embar-
RAISING questions while this expOsi-
ton was made - why the mining
school was not placed in the iron
country, why ASSOCIATED from the uni
versity. ETC., to which Mr.. Hudnall re-
piled that the action of the legisla-

against his judgment.
