Risk Concerns Quitting Iowa.

Risk Concerns Quitting Iowa.
The Law Union & Crown Insurance
company has decided to withdraw
from Iowa because of the decision Of
the United States supreme court, up
holding the Blanchard anti-compact
law against compacts among fire in
surance agents. 1t has written let
tiers Of notification to this effect to its
agents over the state. "On account of
the renewed enforcement of the anti
compact law in your state, we have de-
cided to withdraw from the state en-
tirely. and we beg, therefore, that from
the receipt of this letter you will
transact no further business for that
company, but will return to this office
your commissions and supplies as
agents of the company" Insurance
agents say that this is about the first
company which has withdrawn from
Iowa, on account of the law referred
to, but they fear that others will fol-
low suit. If the movement becomes
general among the outside insurance
concerns, it is thought that an effort
may be made to secure the repeal or
at least the amendment Of the Blan-
chard law.

the same controversy which has exist
ed for three years. The matter had
been referred repeatedly to the attor-
ney general of the state, and many
opinions with respect to it had been
handed down. At length the appropri-
atoms were gone into in detail, by the
attorney general, and it was set forth
by him exactly how the law affected
each one. Proceeding on this basis,
the auditor decided that the quarterly
payments which have been collected
by the institutions heretofore on the
first of January should not be paid
till the last day of the quarter, or
March 81. The amount involved is
not stated by the authorities, but is
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 for the university. A like
amount is said to be involved in the
Ames account.

Complain Of Poor Corn cron.

The poor quality of the Iowa corn
crop is the cause of much complaint OF
grain dealers and shippers throughout
the state. 1t is wet and only smaE
part of the shipments to Chicago thus
far have graded No. 4, the bulk of it
going as no grade. Dealers who con-
tracted for the corn early in the fall
for December delivery are said to have
lost heavily, and now they are putting
big margins on it and some have
ceased buying, as they say that it will
not dry sufficiently to grade up for two
or three months.
Hold Back University Fund.
In 1902 the legislature passed an act
fixing the time of quarterly payments
of funds to the state educational in
situations. The law provided in effect
that the quarterly payment should be
made uniformly on the last day of the
quarter for the expenditures of the
preceding quarter. Since that time
there has been constant difference Of
opinion between the officers of the In
situations and the auditor of state
with respect to the matter. Recently

IOWA SOLONS MEET

IN DEs MONIES.
SEVERAL NEW FACES SEEN
A Number of Legislators Elected No

for the First Time-Primary
Gossip Heard in Lobbies.

(Russell Woodland, Staff Correspondent.)
Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 8.-The state
legislature was called to order to-day
and preparations were made to get
down to the real work of the session
as soon as possible. Solons from
every section Of the state flocked into
the city as early as Friday, and the
opening found both the houses well
filled. There were several new faces
among the legislators, as results of the
FORMER occupants of the seats either
moving from their old residences, or
in other ways, disqualifying them.
selves. Elections to fill such vacan-
cies were held November Z, and the
successful ones, with but few excep.
tions,, showed their eagerness to par.
ticipate in the meeting by being on
hand to mix in with the elder solons
long before the session was called to
order. The work of the opening days
OF the meeting includes the election Of
speaker for the assembly, presi-
dent pro tenn. for the upper house, the
selection Of committees and the an.
pointment of numerous clerks and Of
f1cials. Lieut.. Gov Herriott was on
hand in the chamber Of the upper
house to call the senate to order, and
but little work was done before ad-
1ournment for the day was taken.
Preparations were merely made for the
real beginning of the work scheduled
for tomorrow. Then committees will
be considered, a speaker will have
been delegated by the lower house
members and the legislative machinery
will be in fair way to cope with the
Hood Of bills at Introduction. The
lobbles were filled up to the hour of
calling the bodies to order and hand
shaking and good will between the so.
Ions were in order. When the leaders
OF the respective houses called their
sessions to order, the legislators
seemed to consider the dignity of the
occasion and all began with vim,
their part, in what promises to be the
most productive legislative session for
some years. Because of the great
amount of gossip regarding the pro-
posed primary law, there was much
said on this matter between the as
sembled legislators before the session
was called. Senator Lewis declared
his belief that this matter would fur
nish lively fight, which might not
end until all were ready for adjourn
ment. Lewis stated that he would
support such bill and he will have an
interesting contest on hand when he
begins the campaign for the measure.
There are many solons who are as yet
undecided as to what they desire in
primary reform.
