| Special to Times Republican.
| Des Moines, April 6.-The members
! of the house insist on complete anti
| pass law. While the conference COM
| mittee has agreed on amendments to
the bill to take the place Of the
amendments put on the bill by the
senate, they are too broad to satisfy
mostiof the house members, 1t is said
and fight Il, insist on the original
Grier house bill is probable.
The bill as 1t passed the house orig
even except railroad attorneys and sur
geens unless they gave their whole time
to the service of the road.
The senate amended 1t IN effect to
give two local, attorneys and two sur
geons in each county passes.
In this form the bill passed the SEN
ate and then passed the house. That
is, the house concurred In the senate
amendment.
f But later, 1t was decided by the
house TO reconsider its concurrence
and then the house declined to con-
cur in the amendments, insisting on
its original bill.
Thereupon conference COMMITTEES
was named which agreed on new
amendments. These amendments pro-
vide, in effect for one attorney in each
county, EXCEPT In counties that have
two county seats, or having superior
court In a town not a county seat, or
having a division point at q town other
than the county seat. and In these
counties each road may have two at
torneys on passes. The same rule was
made applicable to surgeons. The
Sanitarian, however, was cut out.
This report was made known to the
membership Of the houses yesterday
and while there were evidences that
the senate would agree to it. the MEM
bership of the house gave little indi-
cation Of insisting on the real anti
pass law, cutting out all attorneys
and surgeons, so far as issuing them
passes is concerned. The members
who take this, attitude insist that there
is no reason why railroad corpora
llOI StlOulu pay dtIOAhCyS - RsA~'SSS
any more than any other corporation
should.
The senate yesterday passed the bill
to appropriate $4,000 for the agricul-
tural extension work, for which $4,000
was appropriated last year. This is
the sum PROPOSED by Senator Seeley Of
Mount Pleasant early in the session. It
has passed the house and only needs
q slight correction to become a law.
Senator Senley and Senator Durham
spoke for tile bill yesterday and it had
no opposition. 1.-THE appropriation OF
SIS 900 last year." said Senator Seeley,
is now yielding more revenue to the
state Of Iowa that any other like APP
preparation that was made during the
last general assembly.
"In addition to the short course held
at Ames last winter there has been
four other short courses held and there
are now demands filed with the extern
sion department for twenty more short
less additional appropriations are male
therefore. 1t was our privilege in
southeastern Iowa to have secured one
of these short courses at Mount Pleas
ant, which brought to our neighborhood
more enthusiasm than anything that
has come to our community for long
time Our farmers and business men
have raised and paid out for the pur-
pose of extending this work over 3d.
600. We had enrolled over $50 students,
all OF which were earnest and enthusi-
astfc in the support of the work.
I'm addition, to the short courses the
extension department has aided in the
establishment, Of ten different expert
ment stations on the county poor farms
and there are now demands for this
same work in many other counties. Re
quests fol- help in other lines of agri-
cultural york aside from those above
enumerated now exceeds 1900, 50 you
can see The dire need of greater APP
preparation lin this line.
