IA Des Moines, Jan. 25.-The Doran res
olution to secure better printing for
The legislature was discussed in the
| house this morning and an effort to
kill 1t by laying it on the table failed,
1.-the vote being 80 to 43. Temple moved
Ito refer to the printing committee to
delay. This was sustained by Cum
mings, Robinson and others, who said
! that an investigation ought to be had
SO the facts might be known. Doran
insisted on immediate passage of the
resolution and declared that the trou-
BILE could be settled by the state print
er in a day by employing printers will
ling to do the work. Christensen declar-
Eed the strike affected only one shop
and that the one where the state print
hing is done. The motion to refer was
amended to have the report tomorrow
land was adopted and this afternoon
| the committee on printing will hear the
parties to the controversy.
I Reckoning on what will happen in
| the northwest part Of the state is go
| ing on among the politicians and the
hotel lobbies are becoming interesting
again. 1t was stated last night that
| when Blythe was here last week and
the situation was more carefully cam
vassed than ever before the concensus
of opinion was all but about four coun-
4 ties could be carried for Perkins in the
Eleventh and he could get part Of
| the Tenth. The four counties about
J which doubt was expressed were Sac,
Ida, Dickinson and Sioux. In addition
| it was regarded as a little doubtful If
| Clay and OBrien could be carried
without a serious fight and Buena Vis-
ia might act ugly. However assur-
a: ces came from northwestern Iowa
that enough of the district could be
carried to make a good showing in the
convention. On the part Of the OPP
Ionents of this program it is contend
ed that there are only three or four
Counties but that will have hard fight
OF hand and the fact that the Eleventh
district candidate for governor has to
fight for his own district would be
| bad ching for his success. Now 1t Is
asserted by the opponents of, Blythe
that the plan in the northwest is to
rush the district and county conven-
tions and to secure action before the
.Crm1nins people can get action. Then
if this is not sufficient the program
of bringing out local candidates
wherever it is necessary to hold the
local strength will be followed and
| thus the Cun1mins people will be "kept
busy" while the Blythe people are
gathering in the delegations.
The Stanberry bill to improve the
navigable lakes Of the state is a pc
culia, one. 1t provides that in any
county of over $1,000 inhabitants
where there is q navigable lake the
state is authorized to appropriate not
LESS than $4,000 annually from the
revenue funds of said state" for inn
provements, when the board of super
visors decide that 1t is best to do so.
This would indicate that 1T is left with
| the board OF supervisors to make the
| appropriation out of the state funds.
! The bill is for the benefit of Clear
| Lake.
B. Murphy state printer, who is civ.
en- responsibility in concurrent reso-
lul1on for some of the delay in the
legislative work, declares that the ty-
cog. aphical union IS resp on:.bie for
tn. trouble and that his contract
pv ntcrs are not respo'lsi5e. II is as
sr.ie.' tl1ak representa- Tvs of -ie uE-
! ion have been trying some time to
| bring matters to crisis in the office
where the work is done. Nonunion
printers have been employed from time
to time, but they no sooner get fairly
| to work than they join the union and
the deal is off as it relates to them,
and other non-union printers are
! brought in to take their places. 1t is
| probable a resolution will be offered
that will get back at the printers. Aside
from the delay in getting the work
done much OF tile printing is very bad,
showing the employment Of poor work
| ingmen, both as printers and as press
men. The following is the Doran res
olution which was offered yesterday
and which went over until today under
the objection of the member from Pen
lon county:
Whereas, the service provided by
the state printer in printing journals,
bills and other documents that are re-
quireI to be printed to facilitate the
| business of the general assembly is un-
sa, ,isfactory and imperfect. and is aa-
reasonably delayed, thus causing greet
| inconvenience and delay in the tfars-
action of the business Of this general
assembly, and consequent additional
expense to the state, besides opening
great opportunities for serious errors
| and omissions in the final records Tor
distribution on account of such delays
and imperfect work: the demand is
hereby made upon the state primer
that all journals be printed in pe"fei''
aud work . L.. Ike manner and be in ta.'
