al millage taxes for the INSTITUTIONS
This is the money which goes directly
into the building fund. This means
about 100000 a year for the buildings
at the three colleges. AL tire OF the
miIlage taxes expire before another leg

cial tax is continued, the building funds
will go TO pieces in a few years
The committee on educational instI-
tutions will not undertake to visit the
colleges before termination OF the lesls-
lative deadlock on senator. The COM
mittee on appropriations will hardly act
upon these bills until late IL the ses-
sion.
into the statutes some special provision
for recovery in court for the loss OF
wife or mother received a second con-
sideration by the senate judiciary COM
mittee yesterday afternoon. 1t was ex-
planned that the reason for the bill is
that there is now nothing in the Iowa
law on the subject. With the bill
passed it will be possible to recover for
the loss of the society and com pan
lonsaip of the wife or mother, elements
not recognized now. II was urged
against this that 1t would be unposst-
bic for court or jury to have any basis
for estimating the value in dollars an
cents OF this society and companion
ship, hence that no recovery should De
had on this ground. The old familiar
argument was OF course brought Up
that there was no way OF estimating
how long there would De loss Of society
and conapanionship because the widow
er might marry again very soon and
thus partially recoup himself in this
regard. The bill is opposed strongly by
the railroads. Carroll Wright, on be-
half of the Rock Island. spoke earnest
ly against It, and cited he Green
Mountain accident to show what Is the
rule under the present law which is
O6Cldreo % De SUFFICIENT. he SAID tlaL
all but three or four of the claims aris-
ing from that accident had been al
justed and IN me case OF the loss o.
women payments OF from $1,000 TO So
600 had been made under the comm On
law rule as 10 loss of services OF the
wife or mother. The railroads would
probably suffer heavier losses i the
bill was law.
Senator Allen. OF Jefferson. who In
troduced a special primary bill yester-
day, promised MS constituents ne would
vote for a special primary and he kept
his word. He believes it would be best
to have a special primary. but he will
urge his bill in case no election takes
place. and II is by no means certain
1t will not be adopted and acted upon
II the deadlock proves 10 be unbreak-
able. His bill avoids most Of the de-
fects Of the Harding bill. 1t provides
. way Of heving--a primary withou,
interfering with the legislative work by
having it during recess following the
practical close Of the session. It would
not only apply this year but every year
The contention Of the leading progress
efves all along has been that 1t would
be wrong to attempt to forestall the &C.
ton Of the legislature by providing TO,
