The friends of the Vicksburg park
monument project are pleased over the
~ flpUBdDB-t cvthf .-ffcmedownei b
action of the appropriations committee
of the house in reporting out for pas
sage the Vicksburg bill appropriating
$4,000 for the next biennial term to be
used in making beginning for the
vicksburg monuments. The bill con-
templates the planning of monuments
to cost at least s15O.OOO at yicksburg
where so many Iowa troops We're en-
gagged in battle and many thousand
died. Mr.. Bealer of Linn county, has
been most insistent on this bill. He
commanded a company or regiment at
Vicksburg and is deeply interested in
the park scheme. He appeared before
the committee and made a most elo-
quent plea for the appropriation. The
committee is in favor of planning for
all that the Vicksburg commission has
asked for, but making only a beginning
the next two years.
The house ways and means commit
tee recommended for passage the mile
age bills for the three educational insti-
.tutions. The bills to give the Iowa
State College and the Iowa State Uni
versity each 1-5 mill annual tax levy
for five years. passed the senate the
other day. The university tax had heen
voted down in the house. Now that the
senate measures have come before the
house the lilo mill tax for five years for
the State Normal school at Cedar Falls
has been added to the collection and all
three bills will come before the house
to be acted on together. 1t is believed
they will all be passed together.
The insurance men are making
hard fight for their own standard pol
icy bill Two bills for standard poll
cies are before the Legislature. One
was drawn by the insurance men and
they are for it. The other day they
caused to be sent to every member OF
the house a petition In its favor. Yes
terday they appeared before the house
insurance committee and pleaded for
their bill and that the other one shall
be killed The committee took no ac-
ton. In the evening the insurance men
appeared before the senate committee
and made their plea again. They have
a most influential lobby and seem de-
termined that if there is to be any leg
islation it shall be only such as they APP
prove.
