GARDEN SEEDS ARE SCARCE
Ex- CONGRESSMAN HULL PUTS
ONE OVER ON PROUTY.
He Distributes the Allowance for
Seventh District This Season
Before he Retired.

Washington, ID. c., April 15.-Spe-
cial: Congressman S. +. Prouty. OF
Des Moines, is having his troubles.
Along with other business and cor
respondence originating in the Sew
enth district hundreds of letters have
come to the desk OF the congressman
from constituents asking for garden
seeds. When Congressman Prouty
went to the Office of Secretary of Ag'
riculture Tama Jim Wilson, he was
informed that the allowance for the
Seventh district had been distributed
and entirely exhausted by Congress-
man ]. A. II. Hull, and not seed OF
this seasons appOrtiOnment remain
ed to the order of Congressman Prou'
ty. 1t appears that Congressman
Hull had distributed all the seeds TO
his standpat friends in the district.
The progressives gardens have been
plowed and were awaiting the seeds
direct from the hand of Congressman
Prouty, but there is no chance that
the progressive gardens in the Sew
enth district can be planted this sea
son with government seeds. Two
stenographers working night and day
are required to handle the cores
pondence, resulting from the situa,
ton and Mr. Prouty is endeavorng
hard to explain to his irate progress
sive garden owners how it all came
about.

TAX QUESTION
AND LIABILITY
Two important Commissions To Be
Established By Governor
REPORT TO NEXT LEGISLATURE
Big Problems Confronting the State
Work of Commissions Will be
Watched With Interest
by People.

Des Moines, April 15.-Special: The
legislature, just adjourned, gave two
important nuts to the state TO crack
and as a result Governor b. F. Car
roll will have two commissions to es-
tablish. One is a commission to stu
dy tax questions and present to the
next general assembly a solution of
this perplexing problem. The other
commission is to prepare an employ
ers' liability bill to submit to the
next assembly. The former is to be
composed of five members who shall
draw $40 per day for their services,
no more than three of whom shall
belong to the same political party.
This means two democrats and three
republicans will be accorded the pc
sitions. On the last named commits
sion there are TO be seven members
who are to draw IS per day for their
actual time spent. On this commits
sion the governor is restricted to ap
point three employers and three EN-
ployes. The seventh man may be
UeUneT, which Is tdheH dS q ou55cS
ton for college professor or law
yer. This commission was agreed tt
before the senate committee by the
labor organizations and employees
The state manufacturers association
will shortly make a recommendation
for a member, it Is expected the rail
roads will make a suggestion and the
mine operators a suggestion from the
employers side. The recommends
tons from the employees will probabl!
come from the Iowa state federation
of labor.
These are two of the biggest prob
lens confronting the state today ant
the progress of the commission will
be watched with interest. Many con
slider it unfortunate that the legisla
ture did not appoint commission II
study the third big problem of vita
state Importance, control of public
utilities. Newspapers, however, will
probably give this topic considerable
consideration during the next tw'
years and prepare legislators to con
slider the problem wisely at the mex
session. .-,
