CONSERVATION LAW /.
INVALID, SAYS OWEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLARES
PROVISIONS OF CONSTITUTION
WERE NOT COMPLIED WITH.
ROLL CALLS WERE LACKING
Failure OF Each House to Take ''Yea
and Nay" on Amendment Two
Years Ago Prevents Appropriat atoms
for Water Power Being Made.

MadiSon.-Forest reserve plans re-
ceiyed a body blow when an opinion
from Attorney General w c. owen
put stop TO further progress along
that line for the present There is
prospect that water power legis-
lation will be affected There was
first a fear that highway legislation
would suffer but the attorney gen
eral held that aid Of Highways was
not interferred with
The opinion was given in answer
TO a request from Senator Scott
chairman of the finance committee
when the committee was considering
joint resolution introduced by Sen
ator Husting, providing for the APP
preparation of moneys for water
powers and forest reserve. The reso-
luton provided that no amount eX-
ceeding tWo-tenths of a mill of the
taxable property Of the state should
be appropriated in any one year.
The attorney general held that the
failure of the legislature of 1903 to
take vote by yeas and nays vitiated
the whole proceedings by which the
amendment permitting appropria-
lions for acquiring and preserving
water powers and forests was
adopted.
Believing the amendment has been
properly passed, the Legislature of
1911 appropriated $4,000 year for
five years for the purchase of forest
reserve lands. This appropriation
will be tied up. The attorney general
in his opinion suggests" that no
moneys should be appropriated, au-
dited or paid" under the attempted
amendment. A copy of the opinion
was sent to State Treasurer Henry
Johnson.
Supporters of the conservation
proposition will not admit the attor-
ney generals opinion will stop fur
Their operations. They claim they can
go ahead under the appropriation of
1911.

TO PROBE CONTRACT SYSTEM
Committee Expected to Make Start
ling Report as Result of Inquiry
at State institute ons

Madison.-The members of the
legislature visiting committee, which
had been inspecting the various state
institutions, refused to discuss the
results of their inspection. Definite
information, however, is to the effect
that the committee will make radi-
cal recommendation as to the pres
ent contract system in a number of
the institutions. 1t appears that the
cost for manufacturing a number Of
the commodities, upon which insti-
tuition labor is employed, exceeds a
price paid to the state for the labor.
While the members of the commit
tee have had no conference, it is be-
lieVed that this question will be fully
discussed in their report and recon-
mendatiOns also will be made cover
ing CONSTITUTIONAL work under con-
tract. The result may be a legisla-
tive investigation of the subject of
contract labor as it exists in the Wis
Consin institutions.

TO PROTEST TAFT'S RULING
Revoke Decree Against Religious
Dress in Wisconsin Indian Schools 9.

Superior.-As soon as Woodrow
Wilson becomes president of the
United States ne will be asked to re-
verse President Taft's ruling which
prohibits any new contracts for the
employment Of Roman Catholic sis
tiers as teachers in Indian schools
that receive aid from the government
unless the sisters adopt some other
costume than the religious habit for
wear in the school room This pre-
dictiOn is made by the Ri Rev. A
F. Schinner, who has recently re
signed as bishop of the diocese of
Superior, and who is daily expecting
an appointment from Rome to a
western bishopric
1t was Bishop Schinner himself
who went to Washington a few years
ago to protest against the action of
Indian Agent Campbell in forcibly
removing two Indian children from
the Catholic Indian school at Oda-
nah, Wis, and compelling them to
attend the government school. With
the aid of Senator La Toilette he
carried the affair direct to the White
house, and by sheer persistence he
finally forced the Indian department
to go on record as declaring that In
dian parents had the same right as
whites to say whether their children
should attend a religious or secular
school.
