aAextensive measure to create high

IKE the Smith bill introduced yester-
day.
1 In tho house Hickenlooper introduced
q bill requiring abstractors to have on

LIQUOR permits. On behalf OF the boaro
Of control Adams introduced In the sem
ate 4 resolution for q standing COM
mitteo on board Of control and 1nsti-
tuuons.
The democrats made their move this
morning looking to the senatorial hght'
by calling a caucus for this afternoon
to name their party candidate Tor sen
ator to oppose the republican candl-
date. There is no doubt they will des-
i ixnate Dan Hamilton for their candi-
date.
In tho house Harding, Of Wood
bury. introduced bill to give Cow
ernor Carroll authority to call a state
wide primary election on senator, 10
designate who should be the FepuDi.-

ln bill will 20 to the election COM
mice and can not be acted upon un-
Aftsr the time for the balloting.
!, THE ditching OF the Dabney resolu-
lion for a committee to make up the
house standing committees was not
! expected. It received 81 votes. or rath-
er there were that many votes against
the motion for indefinitepost ponement.
Three of these were republicans and
all the remainder democrats. The throe
republicans who voted against post
ponement were Kulp. McCleery ana
Speer. The democrats who voted that
way were Black. Boettger. Byerly.
Dabney, Downey. Dunlap. Ellis. Escher.
Gilbert, Green, Griggs, Hamilton, Ha-
zen. Hayes Krebill. Lenocker. Miller OF
DUBUQUE, Milton, Murtagh. OConner.
Odendahl. Penn, Ritter. Rowles. Safer.
Taylor. Townsend, White. No sug-
gestion az to this kind Of move was
made in the senate.
Adjournment of both branches Of
the legislature from Thursday after
noon until next Tuesday morning will
give the members time to go home and
find out what their constituents want
them to do when the balloting time
comes on Tuesday. Very few will be
left here for the short recess.
II n not anticipated that any of the
three contests that have been started
in the house will cause much trouble
Nobody really cares; but they were all
close election fights and there was de-
sire that the matter should be looked
into. Newell of Plymouth Is repuo-
can. and Penn of Fremont. and Olson
Lyon, are democrats. and their seats
9e being contested.
The Van Law bill. introduced yes

stantially the bill which was much dis
cussed in tho last session. hut which.
In . measure. was crowded out be-
cause Of bill for a commission. 1t Is
going to be one Of the most important
bills Of the session, for 1t affects the
management and regulation of these
coeporatoins all over the state and Is
sure 90 bc bitterly fought by most of
the corporations.
