its passage, but especially the warehouse
and bankers associations. The uniform
state laws commission has been solicited
10 take an interest in the bill, and through
this commission the bill is being presented
TO the legislature in every state In the
union that meets this year. The other
states will get the bill as fast as their
legislatures meet. The bill has been ex-
amined by the ablest lawyers OF Iowa,
and II endorsements count for anything,
this bill ought to pass.
It Is argued by those supporting the bill
that when goods are deposited at ware
house they ought to be a source of busi-
ness negotiation without the goods them
selves having to change hands, in just
the same sense that when gold and silver
is deposited at bank the certificate or
receipt becomes a negotiable paper and can
be used In business transactions without
the gold and silver changing hands each
time. The warehouse mems interest Is
easily discernible. The bankers interest
Is due to the fact that banks could put
their money to remunerative use in taking
up negotiable warehouse receipts If the
business is legitimate. and II they knew
they were protected. Furthermore, man
ufacturers and jobbers will not store goods
other states IL the necessities OF business
demand they can quickly turn their ware
house receipt into cash while they cannot
do so In Iowa. II the law was In operation
here 1t is claimed there would be enormous
warehouses built In this state such as are
now standing in other states.
Kline Agricultural Bill.
The Kline agricultural bill. introduced In
the senate just before the legislature ad-
journed for the recess, provides for di-
viding the state into four geographical d.
visions and arraRges for establishing in
each OF these a high school for teaching
manual training and agriculture. Since
the showing made by Judge Deemer before
the senate the other day It has been con-
sidered likely that the legislature Will take
some action looking towards agricultural
education preparatory to the state college.
Fight over Wage Exemption.
At every session Of the legislature since
some ten years ago there has been an
effort on the part OF the retail grocers TO
secure a repeal or modification Of the
wage exemption laws. When the attempt
was hrst made the bill was indefinitely
postponed on motion OF Attorney General
