Comma" slll Passed.

After delay OF two weeks because
OF comma, the senate passed the
Peterson bill allowing the fathers of
former soldiers. sailors and marines
admittance to the state soldiers home
at Marshalltown. This bill was passed
by the senate few weeks ago, but
the grammatical construction didn't
suit Representative Carl Johnson. He
made an amendment, inserting a
comma. Senator Peterson objected
to the amendment and the senate re-
fused to concur. The house would
not back down and conference CON-
mittee was appointed, consisting OF
three members of each house. SEN
ator Peterson, as chairman of the con.
ference committee, submitted the re.
port, which inserted the comma and
made another little grammatical
change. The senate adopted the
amendment and now the bill goes to
the house for its concurrence.

Prohibition Endorsed.

Prohibition Endorsed.
Prohibition as part of the state
constitution was endorsed by the
house Of the Iowa legislature, after
a two days fight. With vote of 6S
yeas and 81 hayes the house endorsed
the Meredith resolution for an amend
ment to the constitution providing
that no ale, wine or beer shall be
made or sold in the state of Iowa as
a beverage.
The house fought desperately for
and against the drastic resolution
which is part of the close of the thir-
ty years war for prohibition in the
state.
Various amendments were offered
to weaken, strengthen and kill it, but
the resolution resisted all attacks and
also the one made to send it back
to committee where 1t would have
been safely imprisoned for the re-
mainder Of the session.
Every inch of space on the floor
and in the galleries was crowded and
the spectators exceeded those at any
time except inaugurations. There was
the widest demonstrations In years
when the amendment was declared
to have passed.

Instead of an increase Of $4,000 in
the appropriation for the travelling
library work Of the state library de-
partment, the senate appropriations
committee agreed to recommend an
increase of $3.50, which will make
total appropriation of $4,000 for the

prompted the action of the committee
and although the friends OF the IL

Meredith Expected to Pass.

Z v.
A motion to rerefer the Meredith
resolution to the house judiciary COM
mittee was lost by vote of 81 to A.,
after the most intensely interesting
debate of the session.
Interest has already shifted from
the house to the senate, where those
who fear another period of turmoil
with the prohibition question upper.
most are confident the resolution will
be killed.
Representative Marston made the
motion to rerefer, which was support.
ed with arguments by Representative
Harding. Mr.. Harding's support failed
to materialize and he was left to
struggle against the strong resubmis.
sion forces almost alone. At one
point in the discussion Representa-
tive Sullivan came to his aid.
Strong speeches against burying the
resolution in the judiciary committee
were made by Meredith, Inman, FL
