Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1911-04-07

DunneEan. The senator from Scott had
offered an amendment to Q little bill
which amendment would have the e.
feet Of repeating the entire primary
election law. He insisted 1t was no
joke. Van Law said it must be an ef-
fort to poke fun At the republican par
ty. Clarkson wanted to know which
republican party. The senator from
Marshall said the party which has 10l
In the legislature. Gillilland insisted
that 1t had only thirty-three members.
In the colloquy the senator from Mills
referred to the division and declared:
If you'll wipe out the whole iniQuit-
GUS primary election law we can re-
unite the party"
But the law was not repealed. The
bill passed provides that where candi
| dates are voted for by writing in the
names, candidate must have least 10
per cent of the vote in county or 8
per cent in precinct to get the norni-
| nations; in other words. to end the
making Of nominations by writing in
just a few names
The osteopathy bill. for a separate
board, is having a hard time. 1t was on
| the senate calendar when the slfters
were named. One member promised on
| the floor that the bin should retain its
place, but when the time came for its
consideration 1t was not to be found.
The sifters chairman stated Tuesday
that the osteopathy bill would sure be
called up Wednesday morning, but it
wasn't In the meantime the osteo-
paths are making study OF how lesis-
iation Is not done
The bill which finished it's course
thru the two houses regarding pay for
care of incorrigible females in private
institutions may have the result of
greatly enlarging that form OF semi
charity so that it will largely take tn =,
place of an additional state institution.
1t provides that whore a girl is sent to
private institution instead OF being
sent to the school at Mitchelvile the
county shalt pay to the institution the
same as it would have to pay If she
had been sent to Mitchellville institu-
ton. There are several Of these pri-
vate institutions recognized by law as
suitable and persons are committed to
them regularly but the expense Is
borne by charity. Now that the state
has authorized payment IN part for the
support ii IS anticipated that many
more OF the girls will be sent there
rather than to MitcheIlville or to the
proDosed state reformatory Represen-
tative Miller and Senator Schrup Of
Dubuque. got the bill thru.
The senate sitting committee intends
to bring out the bill by Miller, OF
Bremen, to offer immunity to persons
who give information in regard to vio-
lation OF the state anti-trus laws II is
bill which follows closely the lines of
the federal law on the same subject and
1t Will enable the state authorities to
DO some enforcing Of the laws in this
regard.
Senator Chase is the lates. to go on
the sick list. Senator Van Law SUI
fered much from boil but Is now re-
covered.
Without dissenting vote the sem
ate yesterday afternoon passed the
bill by Perkins of Delaware which CD.
crates to preevnt the procreatton of
habitual criminals. imbeciies, idiots and
| the feeble minded.
! The measure has passed the house
and will become law as soon as the
governors signature is, affixed.
This Is the first Law of this kind
which has been spread upon the statute
books OF the state Several efforts
have been made heretofore to secure
the passage of similar act. The ef-
fective operation of laws of like nature
in Indiana, Louisiana and other states
were cited In support Of the measure
| this session.
The state has direct charge Of the
enforcement Of rs provisions OF the
act. Habitual criminals confined in the
penitentiaries of the state and who
have been convicted Of felonies more
! than three times. are liable to the pro-
visions OF the law. Idiots. imbeciles and
feeble minded persons are liable, too,
under the measure.

person or persons who invoke the pro-
visions of the bill without authority

measure is the legation Of the fallop-
ian tubes.
