RESUME OF WORK
BY LEGISLATURE
NEW LAWS ADOPTED AND vARl.
Gus MEASURES KILLED.
HAS BEEN A BUSY SESSION,
Election Laws Changed, Municipal
Mattero Revised, Corporations
circumscribed and Rail-
roads Bombarded.


Des Moines, April 9.-The rush of
business at the end of the session
makes it impossible to give at this
writing a fair resume Of the work of
the session. A general outline, how
ever, of the most important measures
adopted is as follows:
Election Laws.
The primary election bill was per-
haps one of the most important mea-
sures passed by the legislature. 1t
provides for the nomination Of all Of
ficers except judges from presidential
electors down to township trustees
and municipal officers in cities of the
first class and an expression of pre-
ference for United States senator, by
statewide primary elections to be
held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in June, 1908, and BIZ
ennially' thereafter A vote OF 35 per
cent of the votes cast for particu-
lar Office is required to nominate
candidate and il no candidate ret
ceiveS such a percentage nominations
must be made by conventions. The
record Of party afiliation is to be
made from the ballot asked for by
each voter at the first primary but it
may pc changed by request ten days
before any subsequent primary or on
the day of the primary by making an
affidavit that the change is in good
faith.
Other election laws include the
requirement that the candidates shall
publish their expenses and shall not
be permitted to use cigars or liquors
in soliciting votes at the polls.
Municipal Matters.
The Galveston Commission plan of
municipal organization was enacted
to apply to cities of 5000 or upward.
This plan provides for election of a
mayor ana four commissioners by the
voters, each of whicn shall be the
mead of a department OF city govern
ment and be held responsible for the
conduct of affairs of his department.
These commissioners are to be nomi-
mated at non-partisan primary. The
bill also provides for a civil service
system and for the referendum to en-.
able the people to pass on proposed
measures
The administration bill of the
League of Iowa Municipalities was
adopted. 1t provides for cnaagas in
the method Of administering city af.
fairs, placing the responsibility of
the executive department entirely up
on the mayor and making the city
council the legislative department OF
the city.
Corporation Legislation.
The principal bills referring to cor
porations which were passed are as
follows:
Prohibiting corporations co1tribut-
ing to political campaigns or candi-
dates.
Prohibiting combinations Of grain
buyers, elevator men, etc.
Providing for minority stock repre-
sentation on board of directors.
Prohibiting false and exaggerated
statements to induce purchase of
stock.
Requiring par value Of stock of or
CARNATIONS to be paid in.
Amending Iowa Antitrust law by

POISON IN THE MILK.

That thousands of infants in Hill

are being sent to premature graves
through taking into their stomachs, in
milk, the same poisonous preparations
that are used to embalm the dead, is
indicated by a special report ready for
submission to Governor Dineen.
The report was made by Herman E.
Schuknecht, the dairy expert of the
department.
He points out that of 35 cities visit

and was adulterated with formalde-

milk on sale in the various Illinois
cities visited was in the condition it
should have been-and easily could
have been If only ordinary sanitary
regulations had been observed in the
care and handling of it.
