When the bill was under considera-
ton in the senate to revise the law in
relation to the supreme court reporter.
Ben /. Salinger, Of Carroll. present
court reporter, was on the floor OF the
senate at work among the senator's; but
his labors were in vain and the bill as 1T
was finally passed was far from that
which was desired. The bill provided
that the present court reporter should
continue in Office for two years more,
that after that time the Office should
be appointive, and that in case the
present method of paying so much per
volume of the reports fails to yield 81
900 year then warrant shall be
drawn to make up the shortage. 1t was
pointed out in the discussion that un-
der the bill 1t would go back and pro-
vide that large amount of back salary
should be paid. This feature of the bill
was ridiculed and denounced as an eff
fort to violate the constitution. They
were all agreed that the Office ought to
be appointive and that the court re-
porter should be under the full control
of the court, but there was opposition
to the scheme to pay back salary.
There was also opposition to extending
the term OF office and putting off the
time for the appointive system two
years. AS the bill was finally passed it
merely provides for having the ap-
pointive system begin next January. If
this passes the house in this form there
will be no election for court reporter
again and next January the supreme
court will select man to do the work.
All the discussion in the house on the
board of control omnibus bill related to
the question of purchasing land. 1t was
pointed out that the plans for the Iowa
state institutions were in fact laid out
too small that the mistake ought to
have been rectif1ed long ago, that the
greatest need is more land at all those
institutions where there is abundance
OF help, that it is a matter of economy
to have large farms in connection with
the hospitals and charitable institu
tions, that the land might have been
purchased some years ago much cheap
er than now and there is no prospect
that the land can ever be bought
cheaper The bill as it was introduced
by the house appropriations committee
carried $731,57 The committee cut
out $4,000 for the land at Davenport, |
but the house put back $4,000 of the
sum, leaving the total of the bill $716,-
5T7.50. The bill carries appropriations
for land as follows: Mount Pleasant, |
$4,000: Independence, $4,000; Clarin-
da, $4,000; Glenwood. $4,000. There
was some talk on the floor of the house |
in opposition to the plan of making ap
which are not available |
until the next biennial term, but this
feature was left in the bill. In it's pres
ent form the bill is satisfactory to the |
board of control.
The house has refused to concur in I
some minor amendments to the op- |
bill which were nut In by the !
