DES MONIES, To-, Oct. Estate officers
announce that a test case will likely be
brought against the state of Iowa by the
four regiments Of Iowa. troops which en-
tered the Spanish war. The discovery
was made some time ago that the state
military code provides that when troops
are called into service by the governor
under call of the president, they shall be
paid by the state at the same rate as
troops Of the United States army. The
military men insist that under this law
the state must pay them for their entire
term of service, whether or not the fed
eral government does the same. The case
IS close one. and 1t is conceded that
the literal Interpretation of the statute
would lead to this conclusion. II suit
should be brought and this position sus-
tanned 1t would cost the state about
$,Go0.0o0 TO make the payments.
