Des Moines, Feb. 19.-The senate the
coming week will start out by con-
siderng some of the most important
measures of the session. The first that
viding for state certificates for teach
ers and abolishing the county certiti-
cate. The bill has been amply discuss
ed before, but because of the large
number of changes that were made by
amendments it was ordered engrossed
and reprinted with the amendments.
ported by practically all the prominent
educators of the state, the bill would
have been killed when it was up before
and perhaps it would be killed when it
comes up Tuesday but for that fact. 1t
is believed it will pass and the strong
argument in it's favor is the claim that
by releaving the county superintend-
ents of the work of holding teachers
examinations they will have time to
devote more of their attention to the
rural schools and will be able to give
valuable advice and assistance to the
rural teachers.
Undoubtedly the creamery men will
have occasion to come to Des Moines
and put in an appearance about the
corridors of the halls of the legislature
A bill has been introduced which pro-
hibits the purchasing with the intent
of manufacturing into human food any
adulterated or impure milk or cream
or any of the milk or cream
from diseased cows and prohibits the
manufacture of such milk or cream into
food intended for human consumption.
1t is the claim that in order to drive
out the small local creameries over
the country, the big centralized plants
that ship in their cream, are given
to buying all kinds of cream. They buy
cream that is one and two weeks old,
in which fermentation is actively
started and pay the same price for 1t
that they pay for the pure fresh cream.
When this cream that is old and fer
mented comes to Des Moines, Water
loo and other cities where there are
centralizing plants, it is frequently
seen foaming out of the tops of the
cans Experts claim it is impossible
ticle out of this product and yet the
big trust creameries attempt to do this
and they sell the butter they make to
the Iowa consumers. The purpose of
the bill is to shut off that sort of thing
and the bill to prohibit the purchase or
manufacture is expected to do it if it
becomes a law.
