DIES MONIES, April 5.-(Special Tele-
gram THE house today passed the senate

dates expenses must be filed with the

The Erickson bill to tax corporations

length In the senate. When II reached the
house gum shoe work was done against II.
Teter of Marion explained the bill and no

almost solidly against II. When the mat
ter was further explained the house or
dered a reconsideration and then adorned

Date of Adjournment Uncertain.
Date OF adjournment sine die Of the Iowa
legislature is still in the air. In the house
today when the senate resolution to ad-
Journ tomorrow noon was messaged over
Dow Of Franklin tried to get an immediate
consideration. Van Houten objected and
asked that the resolution go over till to-
morrow under rule 81, which provides that
no resolution shall be considered on the
same day on which II is received. Dow
then made a motion that the rule be sus-
pended and demanded a roll call. The vote
was Ss to SO and the house refused to sus-
pend the rules. During the discussion It
developed that the work of enrolling the
bills that have been passed during the
last few days will be such that an adjourn
ment tomorrow noon is absolutely out Of
the question. The law provides that all
the bills shall be correctly enrolled and
signed by the speaker Of the house and
president OF the senate in the presence OF
the two houses and are then sent to the
governor. 1t will be Tuesday before the
now in the house to call the resolution
up tomorrow morning The results of this
afternoons session will then be known and
the house will know better how much work
there is to do. 1t can then vote intelli-
gently on the resolution and probably will
amend the time TO some time next week
II is quite possible, too that the house
will delay the matter OF adjournment till
the senate ixes up some OF the bills The
senate, according to the claims of the
house, wants to butcher the anti-pass
bill and kill the bill requiring life insur-
ance companies to make an annual 40
counting OF dividends to the policy holders,
The house Is not disposed to stand for
It."
