Chairman Coburn, OF the committee on
telephones, opposing the bill by Ritter
to amend the law in relation to FRAN
chises Of companies. The letter calls
attention to the decisions of the Iowa
court holding, in effect, that where a
telephone company commenced to do
business prior to 1897 when for the
first time the Code gave specific
authority for granting of franchises,
company cannot now be question
ed in it's position. He states that this
bill is instigated by Mayor Caster,
of Burlington, because of a local fight
about putting wires underground. The
cities that have ordered wires UNDER
ground are Des Moines, Dubuque Dav-
export, Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Keo-
kuk, Muscatine, Waterloo and Burling-
ton. The bill contenpplates requiring
all companies to secure franchises and
overturning the especial privilege held
by the Bell companies in Iowa.
The house yesterday afternoon
thrashed out the matter of the propos-
ed law to change the common law rule
as to the assumption of risk of liabil-
ity as between employer and employee
in certain cases. The friends Of the
measure had to resort to much schem-
ing to get discussion of the bill, but
finally got hearing on the floor. 1t
is a bill which, in short, relieves
workingman of the assumption of risk
where he remains at his employment
after having notified his employer of
imperfection of the machinery or plant
1t appeared that most of the lawyers
were for the bill, but there was a
strong sentiment against it. Kendall.
Wright, Hart and others spoke long
and earnestly for the bill. They show
ed the entire reasonableness of the
change and cited instances wherein the
present rule-the common law rule
adapted from England-works hard
ship or positive injustice. But in the
end the work which was done by the
railroad men and the representatives

were only twenty-seven votes for the
bill.

Meeting of the County Central
Committee Starts the Ball
Rolling
DEMAND FOR PRIMARY LAW
Members of the Committee Also Ask
for Expression of Choice for Cover
nor at Primary In Spite of the OPP
position C the Blythe Men Who
Were Forced to Yield.

Manchester, Feb. 24.-Delaware
county is the first county in the state
to adopt the primary election princi-
pal as advo Gated by Governor Cum
meeting Of the republican county CEN
trail committee yesterday when w. b.
Robinson of Ryan offered resolution,
which was adopted after long strug-
gle, to the effect that the primary bal
lot should afford the voters an OPP
portunity to express their preference
for governo. at the coming primary
election.
The resolution brought to his feet w.
S. Beels, strong Blythe man, who
contended that such a procedure was
without precedence and would UNI
doubtedly precipitate the county into
a political hubub, whereupon A. b.
Holbert Of Greeley retorted Let her
'bub l believe In the primary system
for the selection of candidates for
state as we'll as for county offices and
that the time will come when the peo-
pie will select candidates for the Unit
ed States senate by the same method
l believe that Delaware county should
be progressive and take the lead in
establishing this REFORM
Mr.. Robinson, in support of his res
olution, said that the report had gone
forth that Delaware county is strong
ly anti Cummins, but that he was from
Missouri and would have to be shown
Other members of the committee spoke
briefly and 1t developed that there was
a strong sentiment in favor Of the res
olution.
Mr.. Beels talked for time while a
hurry-up call was being sent for
Editor Ram of the Press. The call was
responded to with alacrity, but the
committee adjourned for dinner.
Messrs. Ram and Beels, In company
with two other Blythe men, occupied
THE noon hour in consulta ton and then
gave up the contest because they dis
covered that their opposition to this
expression Of the wishes OF the voters
would be futile, as Cummins would
carry the county. Besides, they could
not stop 1T any way. They oontented
themselves with Offering an amend
ment to the effect that ballot contain
the names of the candidates for all
other state Offices in the hope of de-
feating the same, but the amendment
was adopted with the resolutions.
Mr.. Beels endeavored to delay the
primary election until August, but
failed.
resolution was adopted favoring
the passage OF state wide primary
law at the present session Of the leg
islature and instructing the secretary
to forward the same as the sentiment
of the committee to Senator Durham
and Representative Bixley.

Special to TimeS-Repupllcall.
Des Moines, Feb. 24.-According to
bill introduced by Mr.. Robinson the
pay of the secretary Of the state agri-
cultural department would get a raise
of salary from $500 year to $4,000
a year. Nearly every member who has
given the matter any consideration has
agreed that the present pay Of this po-
sition is entirely too small
and that it is little less than
a disgrace to the state to con-
tinue it as at present. The secretary
devotes his entire time to the work
and cannot very we'll engage in any
thing else. He must be an exception
ally competent man in his line. John
Simpson, the present secretary, went
In as an assistant a FEW years ago and
his qualities We're such as to commend
him to the board and he was made
secretary He has been a tower OF
strength to the department and has
we'll deserved an advance in pay; but
whether he is retained or not, the po-
sition is one which ought TO command
more pay.
A bill presented by Mr.. Maben pro-
poses some radical changes in the Of
flee of state veterinary surgeon. This
bill would give the state veterinarian
an office in the capitol, with his office
supplies and postage furnished by the
state, and give him instead of fees a
stated salary OF $1,000 year. Then
the direction of his affairs and his &C
counts would be under the executive
council the SAME as many other Off
Gals. AT present this office is one OF
somewhat uncertain character because
the occupant is supposed to remain at
his home and but few know how to
reach him.
