state House Crowded.
The Executive council is to be confronted
with problem OF finding quarters in the
statehouse where there are none. The Leg
islature provided that the new Board Of
Parole should have quarters in the state
house and that the state veterinarian
should also have quarters in the state
house. At the present time there are oc-
cupants Of ONCE rooms in the statehouse
who think they should have more room
and there are no vacant rooms. The ex-
ecutive council, therefore, has somethins
OF a problem on it's hands.
There is some talk of giving the rooms
now occupied by the geological survey de-
partment to the Board of Parole. These
rooms are on the basement floor I'm the
northwest corner of the building There
are two rooms and good vault. It will be
necessary for the board to have a vault
for the reason that the indeterminate SEN
tence law provides that the clerks OF the
district court, following each conviction,
must send 20 the board a copy OF the In
dictment and list Of the witnesses and other
evidence, all OF which must be filed in
safe place. There are about 100 to 500 Of
such every year and in a short time small
vault would be filled II is necessary 20
have a room for hearings in addition TO a
private room. The rooms occupied by the
geological survey supply all requirements.
If this is done II will be necessary to find
/ room for the geological department. There
is talk Of putting It somewhere in the new
historical building OF else in the rooms in
the brick residence building across the
street, part OF which is occupied by the state
dairy and food commissioner.
Thus far no place has been discovered for
the state veterinarian. 1t may be necessary
to give him temporary quarters with the
State Board OF Health till other rooms car
be found.

when the public puys the stock In the pro-
posed corporation II will have an impartial
valuation on the commodity 1t is to put
it's money against.
The primary intention of the law Is TO
prevent new corporations from watering
their stock. OF course. since every stock
transaction that IL not for cash In full
must have the approval OF the executive
council 1t will hardly be possible for an
Iowa corporation to make presents OF blocks
OF stock to public ohicials and influential
men for the purpose OF gaining theft in
terest and influence in the proposed under
taking. Tho executive council might not
consider that the influence and interest Of
a prominent citizen or oficial TO be exactly
in the interests Of the public.
While some of t. members OF the legis-
lature interposed some objections to the
bill when II was under consideration the
corporations themselves aid not fight the
measure. Ali their time and attention was
taken up in fighting the Ericsson BILL which
was spoken Of as the corporation tax"
bill. The real purpose of the Ericsson bill
was to get reports from the corporations
to the secretary Of state. There is law
now that requires them to report but
there is no way of enforcing 1t and the
purpose of the Ericsson bill was to provide
TOT n small YAK III .duulliOn W INC oAAilhaA
report. The funds from the tax would
add some to the revenue of the state be-
sides guaranteeing a fund with which to
enforce the provisions of the bill, requr-
ing the annual report.
The Ericsson bill was offered at the re-
quest Of the secretary Of states ONCE.
There are hundreds OF corporations in
Iowa that have incorporated under the
laws OF the state OF Iowa that are dead
and many others that have been given
the privileges Of the corporation laws that
are doing an illegal business. There
are others doing business in the state that
were incorporated In other states that have
no legal right to do business here TIL
after they have filed certified copies Of
their articles Of Incorporation. Yet the
secretary of state has no means whatever
OF keeping track OF these corporations or
OF ascertaining what they are doing. 1t
is quite generally conceded that there
should be some report TO the secretary Of
state regularly, and II is probable that

RAILROAD COMMISSION
COMING
OHiciRIs VIII Inspect Great western
Crossing and wabash Bridge.

OmciaIs VIII Inspect Great weUtern
Crossing and wabash Bridge.
The state railroad commissioners will be
in Council Bluffs today to investigate two
matters-the demand OF the city for a via
duct or overhead crossing over the tracks
of the Great Western railroad at Wood
bury avenue, and complaints regarding the
bridge Of the Wabash railroad over Mos
quito creek.
The question Of viaduct at the Wood
bury avenue crossing has been long pend
ing and residents and property owners in
that vicinity are much interested In the re-
suit OF the Investigation Of the railroad
commissioners. After many delays the city
council a few months ago passed an ordi-
nance requiring the railroad to construct
an overhead crossing at this point. The
officials Of the Great Western, however,
take the position that the crossing is not
as dangerous as It is said to be and deny
that there Is any necessity for a viaduct
II is said the railroad has prepared stalls
tics showing the number OF teams and peo-
pie who pass this crossing daily. They con-
tend the crossing is reasonably safe and
the conditions do not justify the large ex-
pense of raising its tracks for a crossing
under them and providing for the drainage
which would be necessary for the mainte-
nance OF such a crossing as is contemplated
by the city
The Woodbury. avenue crossing has been
the scene OF a fatal accident and IL is
claimed that several persons have had ex-
tremely narrow escapes from being run
down by passing trains "a. -...t..-
The Wabash bridge over Mosquito creek
Is alleged to be the cause Of frequent over
flows by reason OF it's faulty construction,
1t Is claimed that the piling OF the bridge
is not set on a line with the channel of
the creek. but obliquely, 50 that they af-
ford an obstruction. Some years ago com
plant was made to the railroad commits
sioners regarding this bridge and they or
dered certain alterations, which were made.
The change, however, It is now contended,
did not remedy the trouble and that
more recent overflow OF the creek was
mainly due TO the obstruction caused by
the piling OF the bridge.
The members OF the commission are:
David J. Palmer Of Washington, chairman;
Edward A. Dawson of Waverly and N s.
KetchuIn of Marshalltown. Mr.. Ketchum
arrived last night and the others are ex-
pected TO be here this morning. The COM
missoners will be guests Of the Commercial

Drastic Corporation Measure.

While the attention Of the corporations
was attracted by the Ericsson bill which
required that they make annual reports to
the secretary OF state and pay a small tax,
the legislature passed the Peterson bill,
senate file 100, which is far more drastic
and requires that every stock transaction
OF a corporation that is not strictly on a
cash basis and fun paid up must be laid
before the executive council in all its de-
tails. Evidently the corporations while
lighting the Ericsson bill overlooked this
one.
State officials believe the law one OF the
most drastic that has ever been placed on
the statute books. II win no longer be
possible for the man owning a patent right
TO place a value on that patent and then
induce a number Of friends to go In with
him and put in cash TO form a corporation
TO manufacture the article. The matter
must be laid before the executive council
and the executive council must put a value
on the patent right. II a man owns a lot
OF real estate in some arid country or
anywhere else and hasn't the funds to
hold It and put It on the market, instead OF
valuing II himself and inducing his friends
10 form a stock company with him and
they put In the cash and he his land az
his own valuation the executive council

Competition In Paving.
Acting ON the decision OF the supreme
court in regard to paving at Iowa City,
public men interested in municipal matters
will advocate that law be placed on the
statute books giving free competition in
the matter Of street improvements and all
other municipal improvements. 1t is ad-
vocated that instead Of following the pres
ent plan wherein the city council passes
a resolution OF necessity for the paving
of a street, then allows a majority Of the
property owners to select the material with
which It is to be paved and then adver-
tise for bids on that paving alone, the
method should be for the city council to
pass the resolution of necessity, then ad-
vertise for bids for paving the street, al
lowing the manufacturers Of all kinds of
paving TO enter the competition and offer
their bids in detail Then allow the prop
erty owners to come in, and with the bids
before them make a selection OF the kind
of material they wish to have their street
paved with. If the bids showed that 50
per cent or more was asked for paving
the street with asphalt than with brick.
that fact might have some influence on the
selection of the property owners.
1t is argued for this system that 1t is the
system on which business men contract
They know something OF the cost of the
various materials before they make a con-
tract and do not select a patent device
on which there is a monopoly and then ask
for bids
In a suit that developed at Iowa City
over the paving of a street the supreme
court held that It is legal for a city to
decide on one kind Of paving, even though
II is patented material and bids can be
received from but one firm or person or
corporation. In the case at Iowa City the
property owners decided in favor Of
bitulithic paving. This is patented and
one firm owns the patent. The decision
OF the supreme court is based on the
ground that the Iowa law requiring com
petition in bids intends that there should
be competition when competition is posi-
BILE, but that where there is no possibility
Of competition the city cannot be excluded
from using that particular kind OF ma
terial or patented device, since to exclude
a patented material will rob the city OF
the use OF that material and will be against
the public interest by putting a check to
