Des Moines, Jan. is.
Representative Buchanan OF Wapello
county won out in his fight for the
craftsmanship of the committee on cit
les and towns in the house. 1t is
called municipal corporations in the
official list but it corresponds to the
cities and towns committee of the SEN
ate. 1t is one of the very important
committees of the legislature, for be-
fore 1t come all of the bills that affect
cities and towns everywhere in Iowa,
including the city of Des Moines.
Representative Teachout made an
effort to get the committee, but he
lives in Des Moines and this was re-
garded as against him for the reason
that in all probability Des Moines will
ask for q large number OF new laws.
However, Des Moines people feel very
well satisfied that Mr. Buchanan got
the place. He is recognized as fair
and as we'll informed on municipal
matters.
Mr.Buchanan's friends were inclined

developed that he was slated fpr a
committee of the first grade and this
being the case, like Representative
wise. he would have to relioauish the
honor Of speaker pro tenn to some one
who could not be taken care of SO ad-
vantageously in committee assign
nents. Mr.. Wise got railroads and
Mr. buchanan rot, cities and towns,
Committees Of equal importance. B.F.
Cummings Of Marshall county was
made speaker pro tenn. He was as
signed to the committee on pardons
and penitentiaries. II

government, and to other matters OF
general interest to military matters.
MoJsberry's Committee.
Senator Molsberry of Louisa county
was given congressional and judicial
districts. This committee was held
by Hazelton in the last session. It is
very important. If congressional re-
districting is attempted this session 1t
will be under the supervision Of this
committee. There are a large num-
ber of changes in judicial districts IN
sight in the state and these will come
,hefora tho Molsberry committee.
