Ex- Representative Leech. Of Fremont
county. and others interested in the
Tabor Normal school bill were given a
hearing by the senate committee on
schools yesterday afternoon. They ex-
planned the idea OF the bill and showed
it TO be simple affair. 1t is intended
to be In the nature Of an experiment
to determine whether or not there is
real need of state normal school in
southwestern Iowa. Tabor College
proposes giving TO the state the use of
It's buildings. library, and association
with corps Of good teachers. and the
state is to install, under direction Of
the board OF education a normal train
ing department. 1t will be, if tried out,
a very ample and direct experiment re-
lating to the question and not at all
expensive. The state will get all fees
for tuition and actually control the
normal department as much as it now
controls the work at Cedar Falls. The
southwestern Iowa people are very
much in earnest in having the expert
ment tried out.
The vote IN the senate sustaining the
committee in an adverse report on the
Allen bill to amend the law as to Ynulct
saloon petitions, showed that legislation
affecting the liquor question will not
get very far in the Legislature. It is true
that the question was of minor import
ance, but the line was clearly drawn.
The bill was to make 1t certain that the
only election the vote Of which should
form the basis for a saloon consent De-
tition is a general election, not city or
school. But the committee had voted
nine to three against this bill The
senate voted % to 10 in support Of the
committee The vote was Significant

question but ssoTT ....:e tact chat I. is set

senate committees There are no min.
GRITTY reports IN the senate. But there
were eleven republicans who voted 20
sustain tie committee ana only one
democrat a0etnst It. That means more
than half the senate Is In favor Of let.
