lower temperature interest IL revived
in the car situation and the chances
Of . coal famine in Iowa. It Is gener-
ally admitted that nothing practical
was done last winter by anybody
toward relieving situation which for
q long time was a serious one and that
the conditions now favor a blockade or
shortage even more so than year ago.
In case OF car shortage the railroad
companies Will be promptly notified OF
the fact and be asked again to do the
best they can to relieve the situation.
The stock of coal is not greater than
usual at this time Of the year.
The state convention OF health off,
GERS to be held the latter part Of the
month may consider some very import
ant matters in connection with the
problem of sanitation in Iowa. "The
time has come" said DR.. A. C. Moerke
president of the state board Of health
'when the people of Iowa must do
one Of two things. either stop using
the rivers OF the state for sewers or to
cease making use OF the rivers as the
source Of water supply for drinking
purposes. We have gone too long in the
old way. Conditions as they exist in
the state today show the need OF meet
ing this problem now"
The ridicule which Lieutenant Gov
ernor Clarke heaped upon the scheme
to have the temporary committees Of
the state legislature selected by a
committee on committees has probably
put an end to the agitation which has
been going on for a long time in this
direction. Nobody has ever been more
in favor of giving all legislators. of
both factions and both parties. a fair
show at the legislative work. than has
President Clarke. the presiding officer
Of the Iowa senate. But in the inter-
view he gave out a few days ago to a
group Of newspaper men as he was

the absurdity Of trying to have the
legislative committees selected in this
way. At best they are but temporary
committees and the situation is unlike
that at Washington where the commit
tees have a continuous existence from
year to year. President Clarke says
he would be glad enough to be relieved
of the duty Of making up the commit
tees but he knows that the committee
on committees plan for the legislature
is not practical.
