The legislature of this winter will
be urged to authorize commission
to revise the school laws Of the state.
State Superintendent Riggs has mere
ly limited at the matter in his forth
coming report but he will urge II
personally, with great force. His ar
gument will be the sadly jumbled and
almost unintelligible complications Of
the school statutes. During forty
years members of the legislature have
been amending the school laws, piece
meal, adding word or sentence, or
taking away one here and there, till
almost every section, read in conjunc-
ton with collateral provisions, Is
found to be faulty and full Of holes.
So it happens that every once In a
while the authorities awaken to the
fact that they are doing things for
which former lawful authority has
been obliterated by some innocent
amendment aimed at something else.
For example, a few weeks ago 1t was
discovered that, although for years
the state has been issuing catalogue
of books for libraries, valuable
compendium for school authorities
everywhere in the state, there re-
NAMED really no authority for doing
1t, and this year no such book has
been issued by Superintendent Riggs,
and none will be issued till the state
provides the appropriation with
which to do the business. The Incl
dent illustrates the value Of the pro-
posed recodiflcation of the school
laws.
The concrete suggestion to the leg.
islature will be for the creation OF
commission composed Of one senator
and two representatives, two to be
lawyers, and one interested in eduoa-
tional matters particularly. It has
been suggested that a complex COM
mission he proposed, one senator, one
representative and an educator who .ts
not a public officer,
Professions In New Senate.
The number of lawyers in the state
senate will not be as large in the
ensuing session of the legislature as
formerly. There will be but fifteen
senators actively engaged in the prac-
tice of the legal profession. In a sea=
ate of recent years clear majority
of that body was composed OF lawyers.
There will be seven bankers, ex-
elusive of the two lawyers, who are
engaged in banking, and two WIG are
farmers and bankers altogether.
There will be seven active farmers,
one retired farmer and two farmers
and bankers, engaged in the banking
business, making ten senator's Win
farming interests in the coming ses'
sion.
There will be four physicians IL the
senate.
There will be four physicians IN the
in the next senate, three active mer-
chants, one retired merchant, one
manufacturer and one contractor.
Two newspaper mel VII grace tne

LOSS IN FRISCO DISASTER
REPORT OF COMMITTEE PLACES
TOTAL AT ss5o,ooo,ooo,
About $4,000 Buildings Destroyed by
Fire-citizens to Get 80 Per
Cent. of Insurance.

San Francisco, Dec. 8.-The report
OF the special committee of the board
OF trustees of the chamber of COM
merce on insurance settlements after
the big fire, which has just been pub
lished, says:
The total area burned over was
about 5000 acres, or about Al square
miles, containing $40 blocks and about
$4,000 buildings. One-half Of these
were residences.
"The amount of insurance covering
property in the burned district was ap-
proxtmatsly S235,0OO,000 (estimated).
All Of this had been written by COM:
papies authorized to do business in the
state except $6,000,0O0, which had been
placed outside of the state In some 100
companies. The value of buildings
and contents destroyed in the fire
must have been about $3.50, 100000, be-
ing aH estimate upon the insurance liza
bility, the known ratio Of insurance to
.yalue-about 70 per cent.-~and a guess
that there was about 5 per cent. OF
property that carried no insurance.
hAn Immense sum of insurance
money has been paid into this city, a
far larger sum than companies have
ever been called upon to pay at one
time before. In spite of the earth
quake, In spite of the nearness in time
of the Baltimore and Toronto con-
fiagrations, the companies will finally
pay undoubtedly In the neighborhood
of 80 per cent. Of the amount of in
surance involved At Chicago there
was so per cent. paid, in Baltimore 80
per cent"

Auditor Completes Report.
The report Of Auditor Of State B.
F, Carroll, containing a statement OF
the finances Of the state and import
ant Recommendations for the consid-
esation of the coming session Of the
Iowa Legislature, has Just been COM
pletsd,
Auditor Carroll states that the re-
ceipts from all sources paid into the
general revenue for the year ending
June 80, 1908, we're $3,42e,7ss; and
the receipts for the year ending June
80, 1909 amount to $3,466,160, which
shows an increase in receipts Of $780,
SCI.
At the close Of the last biennial
period. after deducting all outstand-
ing warrants there was balance In
the treasury Of S1,302.542. At the end
| OF the fiscal year just closed, after
like deduction was made, the balance
was 11,S27.24. showing decrease
Of $3.50. 719.76 This decrease In the
balance in the treasury added to the
increase in receipts S39,862, shows a
total increase in expenditures OF
| $430,6S2, which increase is fully ac-
counted for by liberal increase in
appropriations by the Thirtieth and
Thirty-fyst general assemblies, as
shown In comparative statement No
A of expenditures.
The estimate of receipts for the
next biennial period is $e,s72, 200
which is based upon a levy sufficient
to produce s2,ooO,O0o per year from
taxation, and such additional receipts
the future seem to justify.
