CUMMINGS BILL PASSES
PROVIDES FOR REORGANIZATION
OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Judges VIII Receive 5000 Year and
VIII Hold Practically Con.
tlnuous Sesslon,

viii Hold Practically Con.
tlnuous Session.
Des Moines, April 7.--One Of the I'm.
portant bills of the session has finish
ed its course through the legislature.
This Is the Cummings bal for the re.
organization of the supreme court.
The house concurred In the senate
amendments to this measure and thus
insured Its enactment into law. The
bill will not go into effect until January
!, 1904. 1t provides for an increase
OF the Judges salaries from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year and its effect will be
practically continuous sessions of the
court. 1t will also, not in terms, but in
practice, require the judges to make
their residence In Des Moines.
The bill has been pending most Of
the session. 1t was introduced In the
house by Cummings and referred. to the
committee on compensation of public
officers. It was reported out with
minor amendments. The house dis.
cussed 1t and returned 1t to the same
committee, where 1t was emasculated.
1t finally got through the house, but it
provided merely for an increase of sal.
aries to $4,000. The senate substituted
AoA Ills Uiu measure InaC was
practically the original Cummings bill
and passed 1t and it was this measure
the house has just endorsed by con-,
,currence in the senate amendments to
the house bill.
The Cummings bill provides for three
sessions Of the supreme court. The
first will begin on the second Tuesday
in January and end the first Monday In
May. The second will begin the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
May and extend to the third Monday
in September. The third will begin
the third Tuesday after the third Mon.
day in September and will end the
third Saturday in December. Thus the
bill contemplates practically con.
tlnuous term Of court. Vacations are
allowed, but are not to exceed thirty
days except between the first Monday
in July and the third Monday In Sep
TENDER. No Judge is to receive any
compensation for work done In any
other line than that pertaining to his
office. It is expected the court under
the new law will be enabled to catch
up with its work. No more cases are
to be submitted at one term than can.
be decided by the court the next term.

OMNIBUS BILL PASSES.
Board Of Control Gets Practically
What 1t Asks For.

ta.t t.
Des Moines, April 8.-The board of
control omnibus bill appropriating
$716,577.5O for the purchase of land
and the erection of permanent improve.
ments at the various state institutions
under the jurisdiction of the board,
was passed yesterday. OF this amount
100000 will not be available until
the next biennial period. The only
change made in the bill as recon.
mended by the appropriations COM
mittee, was the adoption of an amend.
ment appropriating $4,000 for land
at Davenport. The bill apropriates
the following amounts to tue different
institutions: Marshalltown, $77 200;
Davenport, s59,200; Anamosa, $32,
602.50 Vinton, $4,000; Council Bluffs.

independence. s70,bO0; Ft, Madison,
$81 900; Eldora, $47,094.
The only discussion on the bill was
the result of an amendment offered by
Nagle of Van Buren, reducing the
amount Of the appropriation asked by
$4,000, by striking out the appro
priations asked for land at four of the
institutions. He stated that he deem.
gu IL luduNiSdDl0 10 purchase more
land at the present high prices. Sew.
eral of the members of the house took
the opposite position and the amend
ment was lost.
