An interesting estimate of populist
legislative economy, about which they
are saying so much, can be made from
senate bill No. 45S of the last session,
known as the miscellaneous appropria-
ton bill, from which the republics
house struck out items to the extent of
over SIC, 900, which had been passed by
the economical populist senate. Sam
pies of the items rejected will be found
below:
Item seven in the bill was for 81, 900
to Judge David Martin for attending
to the stock yards case for Attorney
General Boyle. The house struck the
item out entirely. contending that the
attorney general should have done the
work himself in the first place, and
that the g.. 900 which Judge Martin had
already been paid from Gov. Leedy's
contingent fund was liberal fee any
way. The senate insisted on the item
and q compromise was made on $500.
Item IL, as passed by the senate, was
for 81, 600 for A. E. Helm. another pop
ulist lawyer, for doing some work for
which the populist attorney general
had been elected to perform. The
house struck this item out entirely.
The senate insisted and 1925 was finally
accepted as compromise.
Items Is and Is were for extra pay for
the state printer and aggregated $500,
although everyone knows that is the
best paid Office in the state. The house
killed the items and they staid dead.
Item 80 was for $425 for attorney fees
for John w. Breidenthal. Killed in
the house.
Item SO was to Harvey & Harvey.
populist lawyers, for S3O4.6O. Killed
in the house.
Item As was to H. B. Kelly, former
populist member of the board of char
tiles, for S9S.32 for back pay. Killed
in the house, but the senate forced
compromise at $50.
Item 46 was to 6. C. Clemens and o.
E. Hungate, populist lawyers, for con-
Quoting case to determine whether
or not Gov. Leedy's court of visitation
session of the legislature was legal.
Killed by the house.
Item 4S was for Rankin Mason, an
other of the pop economical reformers,
ind was for 5000 for attorney fees for
Webb McNall's department. 1t was
buried by the house, and the state
saved the money.
Item 6S was to MRS. Cora Prescott
for stock destroyed on the grounds of
the Topeka insane asylum through the
fault of the pop asylum employees"
The house thought 1.-The fault of asylum
employees" had already cost the state
enough, and the item was stricken out.
Item 80 was to w. N. Allen, another
pop Office holder, and was for 1916. 20
for back salary while member of the
board of charities. Killed in the house.
Items 1857 and 1O915 were to pop
office holders for extra pay, although
they had received the full compensa-
ton provided by law. The aggregate
amount was $3.50. 60. The house thought
that as the pop legislature had failed
to pay legal salaries it could not afford
to indulge in any extras. and the items
were sent to the graveyard.
Thu it will be seen that but for the
Intervention of the republican house,
these political refOrmers would have
several thousand dollars of
the peoples money for attorney fees,
Cor pop lawyers, extra pay for pop
and pay for carelessn ess
of pop asylum employees.

that a call be issued by some one for a
meeting to take place soon. Each town
could send its representatives and a
definite plan Of action mapped out.
The plan now under consideration Is
to have the volunteers receive their
travel ration just the same as they
would If the state did not undertake to
provide for their transportation to Des
Moines. They will not lose a cent. The
aim of the projectors is to see that they
get all that is coming to them and a lit
tie more if necessary. When the time
comes for mastering out they will have
to pay their way home. 1t is proposed
to save this expense, which will amount
to fully 100000, and may be more. The
great question is how to devise plans
for getting a thoroughly legal way. II
the proper kind of pressure can be
brought upon the authorities it is bare
sly possible that the soldiers will receive
the benefit to be given. After they
should arrive in Des Moines receptions
could be rendered them at which every
leading citizen in Iowa would attend
They could be held in the auditorium,
and one of the most notable affairs
within the history of the state would
take place. All such program requires
is a united action on the part of the
people and the friends of the regiment.
For the purpose of finding out the
position of each of the towns with re-
gard to the plan suggested by the citi-
zens OF Oskaloosa the Capital directed
a number of telegraphic inquiries to
each of the towns as to an expression
of their opinion and the replies are
unanimous in favor of the plan.

Sioux City, Ia. Aug. 1.-THE demo-

this afternoon in convention assembled
to endorse the candidacy of S. H. Bash
or. for the nomination for governor of
the state. They refused to be tied up
with instructions of any kind although
one man, j. Nj. Kelly, brother of the
editor of the Tribune, said that Bashor
is not democrat, that he was a repub-
liean and is now a populist. The con-.
vention was called for the purpose of
naming eighteen delegates to the state
convention and it was after this had
been done that 7. p. Murphy introduced
a resolution instructing the delegation
for Bashor for governor that the trou-
BILE blew up. The result was that Mr.
Murphy's resolution was knocked on
the head, but it was not until several
democrats had said few things about
what they thought ought TO be done.
Still it is thought a large majority of
