Des Moines Oct. 24.-The thirty
fourth general assembly of Iowa will
not be under the same obligation as
the thirty-third general assembly to cut
appropriations and reduce expenses. 1t
is recalled that the last legislature
made much smaller appropriations thar
usual. largely because of the feeling
the the state administration was sub
ject to criticism for not piling up in
the Des Moines banks a larger sur
plus of unused funds. But when the
next legislature meets it will not be
ep barrassed at all in this way. 1t
will hav in sight n availa BILE for ex-
.traordinary appropriations about a mill
lion and a half dollars for the next
biennial period, on the supposition that
the income will remain as at present.
The income of the state for the bien-
MIA period ended June 80, 1908, was
$7,247, 900, of which s4,05O. 900 came
from direct taxation and the rest from
fees and in similar ways. The in
come of the state for the period ended
June 30, 1910, was about $S,3Ss, 600, or
over $1,141, 900 more than in the previ-
ous period.
Lie llCOIilS III Tic last peTIOu Was
derived So per cent from the state levy.
while in the previous period Sc per
cent was from the state levy. In other
words. the increase in income is mostly
from fees and in similar ways. The
state tax levy brought in about $4,-
500, 900.
The great bulk of the expenditure
goes to support the state Institutions.
The three additional institutions abb
serb over a million dollars a year and
the fifteen other institutions take over
two million a year.
Already the plans are being laid for
considerable demands upon the treas
.ury for the current biennial period now
under way. The state educational
board will ask Il very large increase in
the support funds for the colleges and
special appropriations for buildings and
land. The board of control will be
compelled to secure more money for
support of the hospitals and other in
situations and some special a%ppropria-
tons will be required. Additional
finds must be provided for the mill
tary establishment. The state board
OF health will get more money, also
the pure food department, the pharm-
acy department, the mine inspection
department, and many others.

Realizing that it will be impossible to
poll q heavy vote on Nov. s unless all
the electors are registered, the republic
can state central committee this week
is urging it's workers in all parts of
Iowa to have the men who are eligible
to vote go before the registration
boards and make sure they are proper
ly registered. The boards will be in
session on Wednesday and Thursday
of this week., also Nov. 8.
Because there are so many possibili-
ties of mistakes being made in copying
the names of those who registered and
voted at the previous election. it is
considered imperative that every voter
ascertains for himself that he is prop
erly qualified. If this is lone there
will be no possibility of any man en-
titled to a vote being denied that priv
ilege on election day.
AS far as the registration is o n
cerned, it is only in cities Of ove $500
inhabitants that the voters must regis
ter on one Of the three days before
election. In h smaller towns n
country precincts registration is con-
fined to election day. In the city, how
ever, the only voters who can register
on election day are those who were out
of the city on all of the other three
days.
Those who registered n voted at
the last general election or any election
since then, excepting the party pri-
mary, need not register anew for this
election. All others must register. The
exception is made of the primary be-
cause registration is not required for
that The law requires that the regis
try boards in making up new registra-
tion books this fall must copy from the
old poll books the names Of all those
registered and voted, but only
those. The names of those who regis
tered but did not vote will not be op-
led. To qualify they must register
again.
Many people do not understand that
when they move from one precinct to
they must register again. There
are so many things which are apt to
disqualify a vote that the only safe
plan is for h voter to call at his
precinct place of registration and see
that his name is on the new registra-
ton books. If it does not appear, he
must register.
