NEW LAWS FOR IOWA
Two Hundred and Thirty-six Bills
Passed by Twenty-Ninth

IN SESSION E1GHTY-NINE DAYS
Only One Bill Vetoed by the Gov.
crnor-Summary of the Most
Important Bills Passed.

The Twenty-ninth general assembly
considered 500 bills, Of which number
3GT were introduced in the senate and
455 in the house. OF this great grist
of proposed legislation the legislature
sifted out and passed 236 bills, so of
which were senate measures and IA
of which originated In the house. The
session lasted eighty-nine days, and
during the last two days of it ninety
bills We're passed. The more impor-
tant measures defeated were the val
ued policy bill, the suffrage resolution,
the bill to create a board of optometry.
to remove the university from Iowa
City, to strike the circle from the Off
cial ballot. and the railroad taxation
bill. The governor vetoed but one bill
and that related to the amount of debt
that might be incurred by railroad cor
porations. 1t was known as the "mer-
ger. because of the claim that it was
intended to assist in the consolidation
of the Hill-Morgan lines. In addition
to these, and the last bill passed, was
the general omnibus appropriation bill.

Miss Grace Lynde of Edgewood came
down here last Friday for visit with

turn home early this week.. She is de-

Hail.
a well defined case of smallpox was
reported from Clarke Hall, Wednesday
morning, the patient being Miss Edna
Alger of Edgewood, who is student
at the college. Immediately upon no
tice from DR.. Hilgendorf. who has the
case in charge, the board of health was
called together and steps taken to quar-
antine the building and the inmates,
and every precaution has been adopted
to prevent any possibility of the disease
being communicated to the public.
No one regrets more than the Leader
that the indemnity of the Hopkinton
Telephone company has been lost in
that of another concern, even though
the fact remains that the new company
is still local and identified with the
local interests Of the county. This
paper has not gone back on its state
ment that Earlville would better have
renamed the owner of the franchise
which it has sold away, and which will
increase in value and convenience as
time passes. The corporation which is
now invading the county with promises
to give widespread local service is one
of the factors which is endeavoring to
force consolidation of all the tele-
phone companies in the state into q
great trust combination, and in carry
ing out it's plan it is acquiring numer-
GUS small companies and valuable fran
chises for which it is paying the public
absolutely no compensation. The pres
ent is an ere of combinations of capital
and companies. The disease has run
to such an extent that at the present
time there is hardly commodity OF
utility that is not controlled by trust
or combine. Some day, when the PEG
pie awake to their senses, they will
wonder how they can get back at some
price the valuable rights and privileges
which have been given away without
a single reservation or dollar of COM
