ceiying circular letters from the State
Association OF Retail Grocers asking
them to use their influence for the
adoption of an amendment to lowa's
present exemption laws. Now the per-
sonal wages of the head of a family
or any member thereof are entirely
from ga%rnishiment for debt Tor
a period Of ninety days next preceding
the date of the levy. The retail grocers
would change this to make only 80 per
cent of such earnings exempt, leaving
10 per cent of them subject to execu-
ton for debt. The state association
has tried for a number of years to Sc
cure the enactment of this amendment.

opposed it.
