Instances have repeatedly been brought
TO my attention where the holders of
sock In these foreign associations have
PAID all their contracts require, and
thereafter assessments have been made
Of more than Is per cent Of the with
drawal value. I think It would be well to
safeguard our people by somewhat more
advanced legislation on the subject.
There Is now no provision for windtns
UP the affairs Of a solvent building and
loan association. which may, for any rea-
son, desire to go into voluntary hquida-
ton. II q company be compelled to closi
out IT'S business In detail, and in the
order in wh'ch 1t was acquired, when
there Is no longer the incentive to coon
omy which existed when the enterprise
was launched. the assets will be exhaust
ed long before the last share Of stock
natures.
1t is not unlikely that existing asso-
cations may find 1t convenient and de-
sirable to transfer their liabilities and as
sets to other companies. and provision
therefor can be, I think. safely and ad-
vantaGsouSly made.

fciently comprehensive to be effective. In
order to be brought under the purview OF
the inhibition, the contest must be for
prize, and the winner must receive more
than the loser, else there Is no prize. In
practice the law Is evaded by Designating

written contract that rhe participants
shall receive equal or stipulated sums in
no manner made to depend upon results
Then the actual terms are arranged on
the side. The statute should forbid con-
tests where physical injury, pain or ex-
haustion Is manifestly involved and con-
ternplated. 7 recommend that the brutal
practice be either effectualy suppressed
on Iowa soil, or that the present ineff-
cent statute be repealed. OF course I
prefer the former.

Under the call made in 1898 the four reg
iments of the Iowa National guard were
transferred to the United States service
under their then existing organia't ons.
This left two brigad!er-genera's and thefr
staff officers unprovided for. These offic s
should. l think, be abolished. Otherwi Q.

ton in the guard. will he left at home
whenever the president makes requisite u
upon the state for regimental org4niza-

No better regiments we're probably ever
mustered than the four contributed by
Iowa to the Spanish war. At least two of
the CO Onels were referred to. by different
generals of high rank in the regular army.

still believe. that if they could have been

training they had previously received,
they would have made a record wor ny

The discipline NANTES Led in camp fe as

This she ought 10 provide for by furn sh-

state fails to do this, she ought to re-
ward the enterprise and philanthropy that
seek TO meet the demand. / see no reason

compel the prospective teacher. from lack

attend a school maintained by private en-
terprise, and then deny equal advantages

ton? At present the few teachers WHO
are educated in our one normal school.

colleges of the state who choose teaching
