current resolution to ask the United
States senate to pass the Hoar bill tc
change the law and prevent imprison-
ment for violations of injunctions In
strikes. The committee on federal re-
llations reported the resolution for post
ponement and declared that the two
senators from Iowa need no advice on
the subject. Speeches for the bill We're
made by Hubbard. Crossley and Heaiy,
! and the committee report was rejected
lby % to 26, and afterwards the resolu-
ton was adopted.
| The house passed the bill to change
the law in regard to support of the
blind school at Vinton. consolidation of
the funds and giving s22 per month for
each pupil and providing for nine
months of school each year.
! The house passed the compulsory ed
ucation law by Dunham, but changed 1t
go as to meet all the objections urged
against 1t by those who fear its effect
on parochial and private schools. maxi
ing it impossible for them to be har-
assed or interfered with in any way.
The vote was s4 to 9. the following vot-
ing against the bill: Colclo, Cruik-
shank. Dodds, Frudden, Hilsinger.
Koontz, Langan of Crawford, Larrabee
and Marshall.
The senate this morning adopted a
rule to meet at 40 each morning in
stead of 10 o'clock.
A short session of the house was held
yesterday afternoon at which ,Ienks'
lresolution to adjourn on account of
smallpox was laid under the table
alongside of the anti-pass bill unvac-
cinated. The Boysen sheriff's fee bill
was passed and the English railroad as
! sea4rlent bill. a number of bills Were
introduced including bill to appropri-
ate $250,000 for the st. Louis exposi-
ton: a bill by Carter to provide that a
chief officer in county or state Office
shall not "hold up" his deputy for part
of his salary: by Garden to appropri-
ate $500 for tomb for Charles Shep-
herd, revolutionary soldier who lies
buried in Henry county; by Nichols. to
give $1,000 annually to the Iowa I'M
proved Stock Breeders association: by
Buchanan, making it Illegal to reinsure
outside of the state when the original
insurance policy was in state COM
pany; by Bealer, to provide for Il COM
mission to take charge of the river front
in Cedar Rapids and improve IT.. by
Carter for 2-cent fare law; by Swee
LEY. to tax telephone franchises where
they are granted; by the committee on
roads to provide for the township road
system with all road taxes in cash; by
Jones to remove the exemption on a
policy of insurance and permit 1t TO be
seized for debt; by Sweet, requiring
dairy and creamery reports and provid-
ing n penalty for failure to report.
The 2-cent fare bill by Carter is an
old one. 1t makes the maximum rate
of fare on class roads 2 cents mile.
on b roads 2h cents, and c. roads 3
cents.
The fate of the anti pass bill was
surprising to many. and yet one senator
said to the writer that he had no doubt
1t was deliberately planned out how the
bill was to be killed and that 1T was
done deliberately. Many of those who
voted to place the amendment evident
ly failed to understand the full mean
ing of the vote and yet great many
did know what they were doing. 1t is
the old story of getting caught in the
tangle of parliamentary practice and
permitting those who are best informed
in such matters to accomplish their
ends indirectly. The motion to lay on
the table swept the table clean. In the
afternoon n motion was made to take
up the bill again and it was lost. That
clinched the whole matter. indicating
that the majority of the house are op-
POSED to being bothered with the anti
pass bill.
The kill to appropriate a quarter mil
lion dollars for the ST. Louis fair has
been presented. There Is not the re-
motest expectation that the bill Will
pass in that form or that the appropr.-
alton will ever be any such an amount.
In fact 1t is an open secret that the
commission followed the plan of asking
for great deal in the hope of getting
something, and that some members of
the commission believe that mistake
was made in pursuing any such policy
1t is certain that the appropriation can
not exceed 100000. and it is idle for
members to urge quarter million for
the fair. But the appropriations COM
mittees will dispose of that matter af-
ter they have settled some others.
TREWiN HAS A BILL.
