ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Des Molnes Bureau of the Courier.
pes Moines, Feb. z.

Senator Harper, of Ottumwa, won a
victory of no mean proportions in the
senate yesterday morning when he Sc.
cured the adoption of G concurrent res,
olution endorsing the Hepburn pure
food bill.
There was determined opposition to
the measure on the part OF Senator
Molsberry and others who object to
the legislature of the state of Iowa
passing resolutions directed to the
congressman at Washington.
At the close of the long discussion,
however, only nine senators voted
against the request to the Iowa dele
cation to vote for the pure food legis-
lation. One of these was the chair
man of the federal relations commit
tee, Senator Crawford, of Dubuque,
whose attitude has never been in ques-
tion for he always has opposed this
sort of thing on the part Of the legis-
lature.
1t is not unlikely that it was the fact
of his opposition to resolutions calling
on the Iowa delegation in congress to
do certain things deemed by the, Iowa
legislature to be wise and in the inter-
ests of the people of this state, that
Senator Lewis asked that his resolu-
tion affecting the United States sena-
torial question be referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations instead of to
that relating to federal relations.
Harper's Strong Argument.
Senator Harper made strong ar
gument for the adoption Of his resoIu-
tion endorsing national pure food leg.
islation. He pointed out the many
authorizations in foods furnished to
Iowa people and how futile it is to
pass laws which will be perfectly ef-
fective in this matter, unless backed
by federal legislation
Senator ,saunaers thought that the
Hepburn pure food bill ought not to
be endorsed by the legislature, as it
might embarrass the support Of leg
lslatlon along this line eventually to
have the Iowans committed to par
ticular measure. The Harper resolu-
ton named the Hepburn bill in the
first section which was as follows:
Whereas, there is now pending in
congress a bill Cor an act to prevent
adulterations, misbranding and innita.
ton Of foods known as the Hepburn
pure food bill and" etc.
Senator Saunders moved to strike
out this clause
Views Of Senator'S on Bill.
Senator Newberry endorsed the
amendment, as did Senator Smith
Like Senator Saunders they were
committed to pure food legislation
and wanted the most effective possi.
BILE endorsement of legislation alone
that line.
Senator Gilliland opposed both tbe
amendment and the original resolution.
at least until the legislature itself
passes a pure food bill. He thought
the legislature would be left in an
anomalous position if it should endorse
national legislation along this line and
then did not pass bill affecting this
state
Senator Molsberry took the same
view, but added that he opposed in.
structing the Iowa congressman.
Senator Warren thought the con-
gressmen ought to be glad to hear from
their constituents ana il there are anv
that are not they ought to be retired
from Office
Senator Molsberry moved to strike
out The other four sections of the reso.
