AFTER II SOMEWHAT lHpdSoioheu VIZ
bate that lasted almost the entire
time of the session, the senate de-
feated the Allen bill giving women
the right of suffrage at all elections
by vote of 81 to 81. When Senator
Allen spoke in defense of his bill he
was loudly cheered by crowds OF
women who thronged the gallery.
Senator Gillilland led the opposition.
The women will have hearing on
Thursday before the house.
The senate this morning passed
the bill of Senator Legel making pos
sibIe easier organization and solicit
tation of construction on interurban
lines in Iowa.
Senator Wolf offered in the senate
this morning bill giving to the Iowa
state manufacturers the right to
copyright the phrase, Made in Iowa"
and to attach the same to merchan-
disc manufactured in the state.
The house this morning concurred
in the senate amendments of Repre-
sentative Bowman's bill correcting err
rors in the establishment of the
standard of purity of linseed oil and
turpentine in Iowa.
The bill seeking to place the in
surance examiners on salary i'll
stead of on a per diem compensation
for labor performed was killed in the
house by vote of 40 20 81.
The five mile law is just as good
as dead. The latest whack in this
measure was taken up last night
when the three judiciary committees
defeated the action and it will be
sent to the senate to see what they
will do. This spells defeat for the
senate is opposed to all anti-liquor
legislation.
Favor Reciprocity.
Both houses of the Iowa assembly
have declared for reciprocity. Not
Canadian" but Legislative" With
the approach Of the close OF the SEES
sion each house is jealousiy watch
ing how many Of its bills the other
house passes. In The final rush
there is natural inclination for the
senators to wish their bills passed
and they pass them. The same hut
man trait abides in the minds Of the
house members and they pass house
bills. But this gets 10 new laws, so
reciprocal relations must be estab'
lished and an effort is being made to
keep friendly relations by passing in
both branches some Of the bills from
across the corridor.
