The list of assignments given out
by Minority Leader Mann showed the
Iowa men had been put In influential
places
The only objection the Iowa repub-
leans have to the assignments is that
no Iowan is put on public buildings
but under the existing arrangements
could not remain on that and he rank
ing member of insular affairs.

on tie new committee on good roads,

Representative Woods was put on

and he also retained his place on arts
and expositions The banking and
currency committee just now is eX-
tremely important. President Wilson
is insisting on prompt currency lcgis-
lation to head off possible business
disturbance. At the same time, the
president and Secretary McAdoo. with
a few others in congress, are shaping
bill secretly. intended to force it to
democratic caucuses of the house ana
senate and are trying to pass 1t as a
party measure.
Progressive democrats are baking
and progressive republicans and bull
moosers are gong to fight hard against
such method of disposing of a great
legislative question. This makes po-
sition on the banking and currency
committee one of unusual moment.
Representative Kennedy remains on
mileage and rivers and harbors.
