tsry bill. which reorganizes the Iowa Ma
tonal Guard and increases the annual APP
preparation from $4,000 to $4,000. The bill

is considered one Of the important measures
Of this session. 1t was drafted by a COM
mittee of leading officers OF the National

service the guard will be received into the
regular army without examination and with

to taking things I'm their order and was
ready to vote on the first bill on the cal
endar, house measure regarding de-
linquent taxes. when It was discovered that
