Tama county against the Glucose COM
pany in Marshall for damages along
the Iowa river.
Whipple, of Benton, urged passage
/ Of the bill. Classen, Hubbard, Court
right and Harper opposed the bill on
the ground that 1t would change the
entire civil procedure of the state in
many cases, and the bill was lost lS
to IA. other bills We're passed as
follows: Bill for credit insurance;
.perrhitting surety bonds in mulct
cases; to give recognition to high
schools maintaining normal courses;
Hi to define the crime Of being a

resolution to adjourn April 10 and the
resolution went over. Bills were
passed as follows: To legalize the IL
brary tax at Clinton; to establish a
naval militia in Iowa; to provide for
shot frers in coal mines. The house
concurred in the senate amendments
to the grain dealers bill making IL
crime to sell grain on which lien FOR
rAnt exists and the conference report
of a compromise bill in relation to
artions on notes of insurance compan-
les recurring that suits shall be COM
Ynenced in the county where the maker
OF the note lives. The senate bill to
revise the game laws of the state was
passed.
These are busy times for Senator
Garst and Representative Hughes, who
are at the head of the two appropria :
tions committees which are engaged In
disposinR of the funds of the state for
the next two years. Great pressure has
heen brought on them to advance this
|. OH that speeia! appropriation, bit they
ahave maintained a resolnte front and
by dint of hard work in the manage
ment of their committees and figuring
out how something may be saved here
or there, they have succeeded fairly
we'll in getting the appropriations
around reasonable figure. The last
week of the session will be largely de-
voted to the appropriation matters. The
committees, as has been stated in this
correspondence before, have practical
ly reached an agreement on everything.
Saturday afternoon the house commit
tee put in an item of $4,000 for the new
laundry building at Mt. Pleasant along
with other board of control appropria-
tions This is to replace the building
burned a week ago. The total of the
omnibus bill will be about $4,000. OF
which $685. viii be not available un-
til the next biennial period An item of
several thousand for the purchase of
land at the Iowa soldiers' orphans
home has been cut out. Other simila.
items will be eliminated, The senate
committee did fine job of pruning at
a session held Saturday evening. Here
are some of the items taken out and
consigned to the waste basket: COM
pletion of historical building, 100000;
building state arsenal, $4,000; reim-
burse farmer for damages at Mitch
aHville, $4,000; for Oil paintings of great
people, $4,000: for widows and orphans
Of miners at Lost Greek, $2,500: for a
statue of Gen. Heron, $4,000; for Ar
Jacksonville monument, $25,000. AT the
same time the committee approved the
SIS. 900 for the fish and game commits
sion, $4,000 for paving in Des Moines,
81 600 for inspecting county and private
insane hospitals, $500 for extra expen-
! {., ~
ferences, $1,000 for a state bacteriolog-
ical laboratory for the board of health,
and pay for the expenses of the Bruce
Emmert contest case,
There will be disappointment because
it has been decided at last that there
shall be no more work done Immediate
ly on the state historical building and
nothing lon the proposed arsenal The
plain Truth is that the state historical
department will get along very well for
several years without additional room,
but at the same time the building ought
to be completed in accordance with the
plans adopted, and 1t would be credit
to the state of Iowa If this could be
done now. 1t would be still more
gratifying to all who know anything
about this work If it could be done
while Charles Aldrich is among the
living. 1t is his life work; he should
see it we'll established AS to the ar
senal building it is needed badly
enough, but there is a feeling among
members of the committees that it
would be wrong to authorize the erec-
ton of 100000 shell on such fine site
as that under consideration. There is
demand for good offices for the state
board of control, for the agricultural
and horticultural departments. the
pharmacy commission, the mine in
spectors the geological department., the
G. A. r. and kindred organizations and
offices. The members of the legislature
felt that it would be better to wait
awhile and erect on the state property
building that will be in effect an adj
dition to the state capitol and will be at
once useful and a credit to the state.
Such building is Inevitable.
