LUMBER BILL IN SENATE
Dealers Claim That II Puts Stigma
On Their Business.
LBy Julian Riehards.l

| . lBy Jullan hlcnlru5.J
Des Moines, April 6.-After lengthy
and heated hearing on the Kull bill,
which seeks to unearth the evils of a
supposed trust of retail lumber dealers
in Iowa, the senate judiciary commit
tee late last night held an executive
session lasting only one minute, took
vote on the bin and recommended
1t for passage by an easy majority.
1T Is expected to furnish the only live
ly night OF the final week Of the sen
ate's session when 1t reaches the floor.
The bill prohibits any agreement for
1.-THE maintenance of a pool or combina.
ton for the control of prices or terri
tory agreements as between lumber
dealers and carries a penalty of from
$500 to $4,000, or Imprisonment in Jail
for six months, or both. " 7
The lumber dealers object to the
|bill because they say 1t places stig-
ma upon their business. They deny
that there is any pool or combination
in existence and declare that their
methods are no more open TO criti-
eism than the methors of merchants
Engaged in any other line of business
Lumbermen from all over Iowa ap-
peared before the committee and sew
|eral addressed the meeting at length.
John w. Barry, of Cedar Rapids, was
the principal speaker, and he charged
that the bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Kull to vent his spite upon
the man whom he defeated for the leg
islature in Howard county.
R. H. Burnside of Oskaloosa admit
ted that, in his opinion. there have at
times in the past been combinations
|of lumber dealers in some Iowa com
munities, but declared that such COM
binations do not, to his knowledge, ex-
list now. -.....
A. c. Johnson OF Dubuque regarded
the law as an Invitation to mail order
houses to come into Iowa and compete.
with the Iowa firms. Pass this bill, -.
he said, and within twenty.Iour hours
Iowa will be flooded with circulars
from mail order houses soliciting trade
from the people .
Brewers Are ousted,
The house this morning acting un.
der the sitting committee, took up the
Bennett senate bill prohibiting brew
ers or distillers from owning or being
in any way Interested in running sa-
looms in Iowa After considering the
bill for some time, an error was dis
covered, and the bill sent back to the
senate for correction. Later ON it
was passed. The bill for the taxation
of mortgages failed to pass.
Other important Matters.
The ~anto-physicians' trust" bill by
Miller of Bremen and his bill requiring
county hospitals TO afford equal oppor-
tunities to practitioners in all schools
ofg medicine recognized by the state,
were passed by the house.
The senate defeated the Van Law
bill making counties the unit in secur-
ing consent petitions for mulct sa-
looms in case such counties contain
icties OF 5000 and over population.
The senate passed the bill providing
that when packages OF goods coming
under the pure food law are under
weight. II 1t can be shewn that loss
was occasioned by evaporation and
that weight was right when goods
were packed. no penalty shall attach.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out Ike
cords.
As q matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 10
It's a matter OF food. The finest food
for making strength of bone. muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure. no
husks or stems or black sDeeks. Farm

the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
