BUCHANAN'S WORK
THROUGH HIS EFFORTS THE
DRAINAGE BILL PASSED THE
HOUSE.
BY An Adroit Move He Secured Vote
on the Measure That Had Been Re-
ferred Repeatedly and the Vote Set
tied the Victory.
[BY LEON BRoWN.l

[BY LEON BROWN
Des Moines Bureau of the Courier.
Des Moines, April 9.
The way the drainage bill went
through the house was caution. Rep
resentative Buchanan by an adroit
move secured vote on the measure.
Just after the first amendment had
been voted upon he secured the eye
Of the speaker and promptly moved
that the bill be placed on its passage,
that is, that the previous question be
ordered. The vote for it was over
whelming and the roll was called be-
fore the floods of other amendments
could even be offered.
The amendments were all designed
to take away some Of the force of the
bill and to leave it in the same unsat-
isfactory condition that the present
law is.
May Protest Election.
Judge Oliver, of Monona county,
was present during the session when
the measure was finally disposed Of.
He is very earnestly opposed to it. He
has about 5000 acres of land in Mo-
mona county which will be affected by
the law.
1t is his son who has threatened
to go into court to declare the law
invalid because a third Of the mem
bers of the legislature are sitting il
legally He made the threat when there
was talk Of drainage bill like the one
passed. 1t is assumed by the mem
bers of the legislature that he will now
keep his promise, the measure being
passed, and go into court to attack
the law on the ground mentioned.
A Timely Move.
The adroit way in which Represent
ative A. w. Buchanan got the drain
age bill to vote was the admiration
Of all the members After the first
amendment was voted down, he got
in ahead OF the flood of other amend
ments which he saw coming by the
following motion which, Immediately
carried:
'Mr. Speaker: For two months the
members of this house have been lis
tening to arguments in favor of this
bill. The bill was sent to joint com
mittee of four members from the sen.
ate and five members from the house
This committee was composed of the
ablest lawyers from each body the
most successful farmers and business
men. '::se entire agricultural commit.
tee of both houses appeared before the
committee and each member who in.
troduced bills covering this subject
was before the committee. Mr.. Speak
er it is impossible that any measure
Of this character can be passed with,
out a compromise. Each personal
idea or the interest of any one com
munity cannot be considered. We
must take into consideration the en-
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier., 1904-04-12

tire interests Of the state involved in
this bill. and as I said before, the diff
ferent interests have had careful con-
sideration by this committee. Individ-
uals interested in drainage appeared
In person. presented their arguments,
and after due deliberation the commit
tee agreed on the bill before us. Is it
possible to amend a bill of this magni-
tude on. the floor of this house and
make it more symmetrical or should
we take the Judgment Of the able
committee who presented the bill to
us when we know that measure of
this kind is a compromise m measure?
Therefore, Mr.. Speaker, I move the
previous question"
Wants List of Laws.
Representative Buchanan has pro-
posed a resolution requiring the sec
retary of state to prepare list of
DAVIS passed by the general assem-
bly, with their gist and to furnish a
copy of the list to all of the members
of the assembly Immediately, after ad-
journment Of the legislature
This will prove eminently practical
and very valuable. 1t is impossible
for the members to recall the laws
which have been passed, as there are
between It's and $50 Of them, always
and the session laws will not be print
ed for several months.
AS a result there is no adequate in.
formation of what the legislature did
until it is too late to be Of much in
terest, to say nothing of its value To
know about the acts of this legisla-
ture will be Of value to every attorney
and to learn about them definitely be
fore adjournment Is two Haaeks old
will be of enhanced value.
