REPEAL OF TOLLS ACT.
smoot Says It Would BE Forerunner
Of Other Demands.

Of Other Demands.
Washington. May 15.--Declaring the
administration demand for the repeal
of the Panama canal toll exemption
was unworthy OF sons of the revolu-
tionary fathers Senator Smoot OF
Utah argued vigorously against the re-
peal bill In the senate.
The attempts that are being made
In our own country and by our own
citizens to convince the American peo-
pie that the United States is violating
its treaty obligations and is looked
upon by other nations as lacking In
national hcnor I repudiate," Senator
Smoot said
What do you think will be our posi-
ton in the eyes of foreign nations II
tive act of the former administration is
repudiated by the present one. based
upon the request that it ought to be
done whether right or wrong? If our
position were reversed. is there any
senator who believes that England
would yield an interest OF vital i'm
port to her to our dictation? No. q
thousand times no."

Guard to Camp During July.

Adjt Gen. Orlando Holway re
turned from Merriam and Camp Doug
las and said plans are being made for
calling out the National Guard OF the
state some time in July. unless called
out sooner by the president for the
summer encampment and maneuvers.
He said that the orders to be is
sued next week probably will provide
for an encampment from July Is to
25 and that the entire guard will go
into camp instead of each regiment
having the camp to itself for a week.

Van Hlse Urges Survey Of U. Of w.

Questions which should be answered
by the University Survey continue to
come In to the board OF public affairs
from the faculty members. city and
county superintendents, high school
principals, editors, etc.
Because the questions which Presi-
dent Van Hise wished answered will
have special interest throughout the
state. they were given out for publica-
tion.
What is the quality of the routine or
drill instruction work to freshmen and
sophomores, who constitute more than
fifty per cent of the university enroll
ment?
Does the cost of advance and gradu-
ate work, included. represent money
well invested, and is research work
worth while for its discoveries and
resulting improvements in agriculture
engineering. ETC.?
Is the work in professional schools
satisfactorily done and properly sup
ported, and is the university doing too
many or too few kinds OF professional
work?
How much time is given by the
members of the faculty to university
work, and of the total time of each
member how much instruction and in
other ways, and how much to re-
search?
In this connection President Van
Hise suggests the probable unfairness
of making comparisons between the
Wisconsin university and other uni
versities, without first making sure
that the reports of each are made up
on the identical basis, as he said: The
comparison of one institution with an
other institution only has value in
case the other institution is studied
from the same standards" In conclu-
sion President Van Hise says: Il
hope that the report will be a proper
tional one, i. e., one which will at the
same time point out deficiencies and
excellencies."

State Fair Speed Program.


The speed program for the 1914
state fair was adopted at a
meeting Of the board. Racing will take
place from September Is to IS. in
elusive. There win be 16 harness
races. and in addition. five running
races on the half mile track. A total
of $500 in purses will be distrib-
uted to the winners In the various
events.
Entries for the early closing events
will close on June s, while in the
regular races entries will be allowed
until August "a.
A change has been made in the en-
try fees this year. Three per cent Of
the purse will be charged each entrant,
and the winners will have to add to
this fee. First place will call for six
per cent extra, second five per cent,
third and fourth four per cent. and
fifth two per cent
The purses will be divided so that
the winner draws $3.50 for each 1000
of the purse, thus getting 1880 in
the $4,000 classes. and 5000 in the
races with a $4,000 purse.

Employment. Conditions Quiet.

Employment conditions are quiet all
over the state. according to reports re
ceiyed by the industrial commission.
There was a sight improvement in
April compared with March. but com.
pared with April last year conditions
are decidedly worse. Applications at
the state free employment Offices were
so for every 100 jobs last year in April
This year there were 100 for every
100 Jobs. Factory employment is IN
usually slow. and outside work is a
good deal behind last yeAz.

Monthly Fire Report.

April fire losses in Wisconsin were
s614,170 insurance thereon 1852, l20,
and number of fires 2S2, according to
State Fire Marshal Hosts monthly re-
port. Only 20. or about 10 per cent
OF all, were of unknown origin.
The fire loss statistics of most Of
the 30 states having fire marshal de-
partments have from % to 40 per cent
of their fires listed as of unknown
origin. By constant circularizing of
the reporting officials, the Wisconsin
has succeeded in reducing
the number of these fires to 10 per
cent.
Chimneys in April caused the most
fires-62-with losses of s62,210: in
cendiary and suspicious, 81. with
losses of s50,695; matches 26. losses
$32, 705. and bonfres22. with damage
of 920.570 Adjoining building fires

indications pointing that way. WASH
