Specia: 20 Times Republican.
Des Moines. Jan. 24-In the house
today Doran, of Boone, offered a Sc
we're resolution directing the state
printer to have the journals and bills
printed In q Work1nanlike manner and
with promptness, but consideration
was put off on objection Of McNie of
Benton.
Memorial committees were named
for resolutions regarding the death of
Thomas Harris, of Poweshiek, L. L.
Delano, of Cass, and Joseph E. Colby,
Of Benton.
Stanberry introduced a bin to per-
nit an annual appropriation Of $4,000
for Improvement of navigable lakes in
any county where the board Of super
visors determine it is needed.
A resolution ending the existence of
and turning back to the state an un-
expended balance was passed in both
houses.
The house passed anumber of legal
izing acts; also bill by Bealer to
provide for registration in cities for
the spring election; bill by Clary to
punish for destroying sidewalks, and a
bill by Robinson to permit investment
by insurance companies and savings
banks in drainage bonds.
The house judiciary committee to-
day reported to the house favorably on
the bill by Clary to permit new trials
criminal cases where there is newly
discovered evidence found after the
verdict has been rendered, and this
is shown to the satisfaction Of the
court. There is no provision for this
now, and 1t lis proposed that the prac-
tice in criminal cases shall be the same
as in civil cases. There appears to be.
no objection to the bill. The same
committee will recommend the passage
of the Offl bill to change the rules in
regard to the running of automobiles.
and the bill to have land patents re-
corded in each county.
The roads committees of the two
houses held a short session yesterday
and considered the bills t. provide for
use of the split-log drag on public high
ways. Professor Curtiss of Ames, and
Henry Wallace appeared before the
committee and spoke. A sub commit
tee of senators and representatives
was named to prepare committee bill
to cover the ground.
A bill by McCturAin to provide for
receiving bequests for Libraries, ceme-
teries, public halls, ETC., by township
trustees the same as by the officers Of
larger divisions of the state, was acted
ON favorably by the house judiciary
committee and a committee substitute
will be printed and be urged upon the
members.
The announcement of the Perkins
candidacy for governor and the man
ner in which it was launched caused
no interest in legislative circles, so
completely had it been foreshadowed.
Only when Representative Jepson ar
rived fresh from Sioux City was the
subject mentioned. He insists that the
boom is the real thing and that the
district will be for Perkins for COVER
nor.
Joe Lane will be nominated unan-
imously els the second district member
of the state university board of re-
gents. There is no opposition to the
reelection of Rogers and Leavitt as
members of the state normal board.
The two committees on elections
yesterday for tl1e first time took up
the primary elections bill and consid-
