Patent Medicine Bill.

With the exception Of the little pamphlets
passed to the desks OF every member of the
legislature by DR.. Kennedy. secretary of
the State Board Cf Health. there has been
nothing whatever done to urge upon the
general assembly the needs of bill re-
quiring proprietary medicine concerns to
print on the outside of the bottle the ma =
ture of the contents Two bills have been
introduced, one in the house and one In the
senate, the latter by Senator Young OF CAL
houn. who is a doctor. While there is moth
being done by the people OF the state, the
patent medicine concerns have taken the
matter up through the country newspapers
They do not wish to have any labels on
the outside of the bottle telling exactly
what is on the inside and are endeavoring
to convince the country newspapers that il
this is required they will have to go out Of
business and the country newspapers will
lose the immense amount of advertising
from that source The country newspapers
and city papers. too. are writing to their
representatives about the matter The
Young bill provides that the ingredients
much opposition TO showing the ingredients
as the formula. which would give the per
cent of each medicine.
In the journals of the legislative proceed
ings OF a good many years ago it is said
can be found a record that Charles Aldrich,
now curator of the historical department
OF the state library, then a member OF the
house, introduced bill to prohibit the CIV
ing of passes. However that may be. the
state of Iowa will always know Senator
John II. Hughes OF Williamsburg as the
father of the anti-pass movement in this
state. He Is ever referred to as the grand
father of the movement at times.
Senator Hughes was one of the early
settlers to the state Of Iowa. He located
at Williamsburg and when the first rail-
road came through. as a philosophical
citizen and a leader among his townsmen,
he started out tn assist the railroad peo-
pie to get the right of-way. He went with
the railroad agent to his neighbors and
urged on them that they give the right-of-
way. or at least charge as little as possible
on the argument that the coming Of the
railroad would raise the price Of their land
and that tho railroad was a necessity.
He was very successful with his neigh
bOrs and the railroad prohted by his volun-
tary services in their behalf
Now, after all that service which was
actual service and by which the railroads
profted to a very large extent" said Sena-
tor Hughes. II was never offered a pass
over the road. There was an ample reason
then for extending me the courtesy of a
pass, and more than likely II II had been Of
fered then would have accepted it, I was
in the lumber business and could have used
a pass to good advantage to go TO Dubuque
and purchase lumber. But there was not
the slightest move on the part of the rail-
road.

at that those not veterans should be some

MANY SCHOOL BILLS PENDING
Iowa Legislature Proposes to Abolish
County Licenses for Teachers,
MAY CONSOLIDATE COUNTY SCHOOLS
Senator kinne's Bill Provides that
the school Year shall End
June 30. Instead OF I'm
March.
CFrom a staf Correspondent

ttrOm stan correspondent
DIES MONIES. March 4-(Special.)-The
thirtyfirst general assembly seems des-
tined to make reputation by passing
school bills. One bill has passed the SEN
ate by large majority abolishing county
certificates for teachers and issuing GER
tificates from the State Board of Educa-
tlonal Examiners instead. 1t will likely
pass the house. The Board of Regents
bill is in hand and will be reported from
committee soon end there is on the senate
calendar for special order for Wednesday
q bill that revolutionizes the school year.
There seems to be no opposition to 1t and
another bill is in the hands of the COM
mittee to make easier the consolidation of
country schools.
The bill to change the school year is
deemed by State Superintendent Riggs one
Of the most important bills OF the ses-
sion. At present there is considerable con-
fusion and to simplify things the city
schools have for years been ignoring the
law as to the school year. Under the
present law the school year ends the third
Monday in March at which time the d.
rectors take their seats. The law provides
that the directors shall provide school for
a minimum OF twenty-four weeks, begin
ming from that time and the election OF
teachers must therefore begin then. In
the country districts this has been followed
and the teacher who teaches the fall and
winter term doesn't know whether she
will ge 10 teach the spring term not.
The cities have ignored the matter and
while electing teachers in March have
elected them to begin in September and
teach for the full school year.
Under the present law the fiscal year
ends the third Monday in September and
the directors under the law must then
provide for school that has already been
running for about three weeks.
The new bill. which drawn by SEN
ator Kline, provides that the school year
and fiscal year also shall end June 81
and begin July l. In the country districts
the directors will take office at that time
and provide funds and elect teachers to
begin the first Of September or any time
they set for the beginning OF school In
the cities where the custom has been to
elect the teachers earlier the directors are
still allowed to do so under the new bill.
but the act is made legal. The reports
Of school officials to the county superin-
tendents and the reports OF the county
superintendent to the state superintendent
under the new bill is brought in the sum-
mer time when there is less work and Il Is
possible to handle them better.

IMPROVEMENT OF INDIAN GREER
work of widening aud Deepening the
stream Begins Next Monday.

Work on the deepening and widening Of
Indian creek, from Sixteenth avenue to
Eighth street. will be commenced Monday.
March L. This was decided upon at the
meeting last evening of the special city
council committee consisting of Councilman
Maloney. FINLEY and Olson and City En-
gineer Etnyre.
The creek between the points designated
will be gone over first with scrapers The
start will be made at Sixteenth avenue
and every man and team available will be
put on the job, with view of completing
1t IL possible before the June rains.
III It is found feasible the dredge now
owned by the city will be put on the work
after the scrapcrs have finished their work.
City Engineer Etnyre is of the opinion
that the dredge can be- used on the work
by changing the boom" which. it is said,
can be done at comparatively small eX-
pense The dredge will be placed on a
car and worked from the banks on tempo
rary tracks. This will avoid the neces-
sity OF moving any of the bridges. as ex-
cavating under them can be accomplished
with the scrapers.
The committee has not selected the man
who will be placed in charge of the work.
According to the estimate furnished by
City Engineer Etnyre about 1000 cubic
yards will have to be removed. AS the
committee has only $4,000 to expend upon
the work il will necessitate the removal of
the dirt at a cost not to exceed % cents
per cubic yard In the opinion of some
of tine city officials this will preclude the
use OF the big dredge.
