Members OF the present legislature
express themselves as we'll pleased
with the progress that has been made
thus far. The work is all we'll started.
A short recess will be taken soon to
allow members OF the appropriations
to visit the state institu-
tions and take a hasty glance at the
work OF Improvement that has been
going on. The state has spent vast
sums OF money on Its institutions the
past four or five years and the work
of rebuilding or enlarging and modern
izing these institutions, educational.
penal. charitable and correctional, has
only been fairly entered upon. For sew
eral years there has been no visitation
Of the institutions by the members OF
the assembly. but there is a general
feeling among them that they should
not forego the duty OF personally
knowing what Is being done. But the
assembly will not go to the eighteen
state Institutions in a body and this
will be delegated to small committees.
Aside from this the work of the ses-
sion is we'll commenced.
II believe that the work of the ses-
sion is as we'll advanced as at this date
A. Smith, of Mitchell county. Il have
looked over the record and compared
Il with that of two years ago and find
that in committee work and In the
passage of bills. and all other matters
We are right up to the standard"
do you regard the session as like
y to be of great importance?" was
lsked of the president pro tenn OF tho
senate.
Yes, there are a number OF Inn
portant matters before the session.
,annot say that they will cause any
great controversy, and do not look
'or any sharp clashes, or conflicting
interests; but there is much ahead OF
lnte TO the people of the state, and II
he session does the work already
planned it will have record to its
,redit Here are some Of the import
int matters now in hand: Drainage
egislation, insurance. primary cleo
ions, the inebriate hospital, road legis-
alton, the Anamosa reformatory for
nen, and the Juvenile court bill. The
lrainaga bills are OF the utmost inn
,ortance, and we are going to do some
hing along that line that will be ap-
,reciated by the people. The insur-
nee measures are not revolutionary.
ather they are in the way of perfect
ng the present laws. The primary
lection proposition. will cause some
discussion and contention. There Is
much to be done in the way of handling
he road legislation that is proposed
me proposal LOT a TeiorHlatory Tor men
/ Anamosa and the indeterminate
entence, is very important matter,
nut do not know that II will get be-
ore the legislature in way to cause
much discussion. The juvenile court
i'll is ore that will arouse much in
crest. If 1t Is pressed to concluS
ion we are. going to have an Interest,"
ng time with the proposal to relocate
he deaf school. And so there are many |
Ills that are of real importance to
he state and will keep the legislature
