Des Moines. April 1.-THE senate
came very near to authorizing one
more commission of investigation and
report, then changed front, took it back,
and decided not to expend any more
money that way. 1t came up on the
resolution to instruct the appropriations
committee to fetch out bill for a
special commission to Investigate and
report on the problem of how to deal
with public service corporations and
utilities. The resolution was originally
Van Laws but Sammis had offered a
substitute, then Adams offered as a
substitute that Professor Shambaugh
be requested to report on the subject
thru his department. of research. This
last was adopted, then the whole thing
was tabled.
In the discussion there was reference
to the various other similar commiS-
sions which have been authorized to
investigate and to the fact that they
have seldom done any good. A COM
mission to investigate the school laws
reported. but accomplished nothing.
The insurance Investigators left the law
so that every session is burdened with
insurance legislation The commission
on conservation made a report which
amounts to nothing.
Senator Hammill rema rked concern
ing this letter that the commission had
printed a book which contains some in
formation gathered by the authorities
at Washington and not one original
suggestion. This Is the first time the
report has been mentioned during the
legislature.
If there is to be legislation for a
public service commission by the thir-
ty-fifth general assembly it will come
thru the efforts of persons interested
in the subject but not by state aid.
Tax Commission Favored.
The senate did approve of the plan
for a tax commission to take UP the
study Of that subject and report on a
code Of laws for. assessment and taxa
alton in Iowa, that would be equitable.
This bill carries an appropriation Of
$4,000 and in view Of the recent
changes in the laws as to assessment
and taxation It is figured that the COM
mission will have great deal Of work
ahead Of it.
