That a person who has not been a
resident of Wisconsin at least one
year prior to the passage of the Wis
consin public accountancy law may
not be licensed as a certified public
accountant is held in an opinion by
Attorney General Owens to John r.
Tanner, president of the state board
OF accountancy.
]. T. Drought on behalf of client
appeared before the board and OBJ
jected on the ground that this feature
of the law violates the provision of
the state constitution that citizens Of
each state shall be entitled to all the
privileges and immunities of the citi-
zens of the several states.
In the opinion to District Attorney
E. P. German of Marathon county,
Attorney General Owens holds that
where a building occupied as saloon
is burned the town board has no au-
thority to allow the saloonkeeper to
move his place to another without a
new license.

the direction of the state board of con-
troll Two camps of prisoners are to
be placed at work in an experimental
way within the next month, one at
Waupan and one at Taycheedah, near

the superintendent to be person Sc
lected by the highway commission to
have charge of the engineering aspects
of the work and the foreman to have
general direction of the men.
The work at Waupun is to be upon
what is known as the Waupan-Chester
road, bad piece of highway where it
is proposed to build a modern con-
crete road. At Taycheedah the pris-
oners are to be employed in doing the
preliminary work, such as grading and

cooperative agricultural extension
work between the states and the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
The assent authorizes the board Of re-
gents of the university to receive in

poses a total of $1S,800,OO0, making a
grand total of $41,920,000 to be ex-
pended during the nine years. There
after the federal government is to ap-
propriate $4,58O,OOO annually, and the
states must appropriate $4,100,O00 an
nually, making q total of $8,6S0,000.
Wisconsin's share for the fiscal year
1914-15 is $4,000, and it is to place

WISE DENOUNCES
PASTIME OF KINGS
Rabbi Says War Preparedness Is
Insidiously Attractive to
the Unreasoning.

In a sermon directed against enlarg-
ing the army and navy at the Free
Synagogue yesterday DR.. Stephen S.
Wise urged the newspapers of the
country against the folly of plunging
into mlitarstc programme at this
time
Arguing that the United States
Should not be allowed to lapse into the
position of China, Luxembourg or Bel
GUM was too contemplate TO be con-
sidered," DR.. Wise said. War prepare
tion meant only war, which, he put It,
"is the psstime of kings and the play
thing of dynasties.
unnecessary our words ought'to be
sfter the high and noble utterance of
the President OF the United States
against new policy of military de
fence and security" he continued.
But one must speak because group
of men, whose programme is 10 the
unreasoning insidiously attractive,
seem determined to proceed in an en-
terprise which, if unchallenged, will
commit us to policy, militarstic III
its matter, imperial in its aims and
permanently subversive of every prln-
ciple of our American democracy.
"The present war is the answer, and
no other answer is needed TO those
who argue in the spirit OF the su-
promely pernicious maxim that II one
wish for peace one must prepare for
war. The world war is no accident.
Save to the wifully blind it is the in
evitable and long foreseen result OF
ceaseless war preparedness"

SCHOOLS TO TEACH
FIRE PREVENTION
AdamsOn Also Announces Plan
for Twenty New Companies
and Another FirebOat.

Fire Commissioner Robert Adsmson
left a dinner at the Aston last night
to tell the League Of Foreign Born
Citizens at IS Sd ST. about his depart
mont and fire prevention. Within a
few days, he said, there would be a
co,rse in fire prevention taught in
every public school in the city. The
textbook for the new course was writ
ten by an inspector in the Bureau Of
+ ire Prevention.
By rigid economy, the Commissioner
said, $4,000 had been cut from the
budget Of the Fire Department this
year. In spite of that, he promised
the league that there would be twenty
new ire companies and new freboat
installed within the next year. The
money saving would not interfere. he
said, with the substitution of tractors
for horses, which was going on con-
stantly. In the last twelve months,
he said, the Fire Department had not
purchased a horse.
The Fire Department, he said, was
much more popular with young men
than the Police Department. Many had
their names on both civil service lists,
he said, and, being chosen first for the
police. switched to the Fire Depart
ment at the first opportunity.

Justice Newburger to Set Aside

After receiving their first papers, II
