Redistricting the State.

A sweeping change in the congress,
sional districts of Iowa will be made in
the bill drawn up by Representative
Green, chairman of the congressional
committee, and introduced last week.
The aim is to give each of the eleven
districts a population Of 100000. The
bill will make no change in the po-
litical complexion of Iowa except to
make a solid Republican delegation
practically certainty. This is af-
fected by taking away Johnson and
Muscatine counties from the Second
district, insuring Republican ma
jority there and not affecting the Fifth
district, to which they are added.

LAWSON VISITS DIES MONIES.

Seeks to Have Governor Cumnins
Serve on His Committee.
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston made
flying trip to Des Moines last week.
He spent an hour in conference with
Governor Cummins, Offering him the
control Of the insurance policyholders'
proxies that have been intrusted to
him, addressed the legislature for ten
minutes, and hied himself back to Chi
cago, expecting to go to ST. Paul to
confer with Governor Johnson, thence
to Washington and later to come back
to Des Moines to hear Governor Cum
nins' answer to his request with re-
spect to the proxies. Mr.. Lawson was
informed by Governor Cummins that
he was very busy and that he did not
feel that he had sufficient time to give
to the matter of handling the proxies
However, he agreed to confer with
Governor Johnson of Minnesota on the
subject before finally making answer
to the offer of Mr.. Lawson. The Bos-
ton financier attaches no conditions
whatever to the handling of the policy
proxies which he wishes to place in
the hands of committee of governors
with the Iowa executive as one. Mr..
Lawson made favorable impression
in his talk to the legislators. He spoke
earnestly and eloquently Of his trip to
the Northwest in an attempt to get
state officials to serve as committee
to take charge Of the proxies he has
accumulated.
Governor Cummins has practically
decided to accept Thomas w. Law
sons offer of membership on the in
surance committee, though he will
make no definite announcement until
after conference with Governor John
son of Minnesota. Mr.. Cummins, how
ever, will not accept the craftsmanship.

Lucrative to business body,

that is, it is high time for the rules of
