ing the constitution adopted so that
Il there may be joint statehood as soon
as possible, have called for help, and
among others secured from Iowa is
Rev. DR.. I. N. McCash, state snperin-
tendent for the Iowa anti-saloon
league, who has agreed to go to Ok
ing tour Of the territories in the inter-
est Of the new constitution. DR.. Nc
Cash is especially Interested in Article
OF the new constitution, the prohi-
hilton clause. This clause makes an
absolute prohibition by constitution of
the sale of intoxicating liquors for
/ twenty one years after the new state
IS organized. The clause is the source
OF some of the opposition to the con-
stttution, as 1t Is claimed that if this
& succeeds it will set precedent for
constitutional prohibition in other
states. The constitution cannot be
amended in this respect for twenty
Il one years. The Indian members of
: the constitutional convention, 80 it is
ptated, secured insertion of this clause
In the constitution for the protection
OF their own people, declaring that it
i was necessary for the safety of the In
dian residents. DR.. McCash is out
Alecturing in the state now, and has
calls to go to Michigan and other
states, but he will give some time to
the fight In the south. Other clauses
OF the new constitution will also be
supported by him.
The class at Iowa City which passed.
the examinat ton for admission to the
bar" said Attorney General Byers,
twas one of the finest have ever seen.
The fact that forty-f1ve young men
appeared before the examiners and ev-S
cry one stood the test Of a hard ex-3
animation shows that the work of the
faculty in the law department has
! been thorough" This is the first time
dn. the history of law examinations
that an entire class was admitted on
MAMMA ton.
Elk Mayor Mcvicar, now Of New
\ York, formerly of Des Moines, will de-
vote a little time just now to the push
ting of the commission plan of city gov
u ernment. At first he was not very en-
& thusia tic for it, but upon making
study of the plan he declares it to be
the best thing that has ever been pre-
scented He has made study of mu-
I. nicipal problems for many years and
he depotes himself entirely to the work
of the National League of Municipali-,
tiles, of which he is secretary. He will
do some speaking in Des Moines for
q the change in government.
The state of Iowa will receive about
+ $4,000 from the estate of the late
{ George Wells in Grundy county, when
that estate is settled up and passes to
collateral heirs. An effort has been
made to postpone the matter Of paying
the inheritance tax, but the state treas
.urer has insisted that the appraise-
ment of the property be made at once
There is a prospect Of much litigation
but as all the property is subject to
the tax there is no reason why the
.appraisement should not be made be-
fore the property depreciates in value
as the result OF litigation.
