LAW MAKERS ARE
NEARING FINISH
0F THE SESSION
Work Of Legislature In
cludes Passage of More
Than $50 Bills and Many
Special Legalizing Acts.
MRS. WILLIAM CUMMINGS STORY
[BY ORA WILLIAMs.l

Des Moines, April 1S.-Whatever
may be the exact time for the final
breaking up ofsthe thirty-fifth general
ASSEMBLY the situation has changed 80
materially in the past two days that
II can now be said fairly that the ses-
sion can and will finish its work In ex-
cellent manner and with due regard
for the proprieties. A great trans
formation has been effected by the
brushing aside of number of big
bills that have stood in the way Of
general legislation such az the bill for
tax reform, the bill for workmen's
compensation and the bill for util-
tiles commission. So long as any one
of these was not finally disposed of 1t
was idle to talk Of fixing date for
adjournment. With them out OF. the
way the two houses put on extra speed
and proceeded to clear the calendars
rapidly.
Adjournment can. now be taken al
most any time with members feeling
that the business Of the session will
be closed decently and at least with as
much deliberation and judgment as
that of the former sessions.
More than $50 general bills have
been passed besides the fifty or. more
special and legalizing acts.
WhlttIe Down Expenses.
In the matter Of appropriations the
committees avoided dilemma Of
most serious nature by shifting to a
millage tax proposition the needs Of
the state institutions. This enabled
the committee to cut the askings of
million and quarter to about $500, 1000.
Then $125,OO0 is to go to the chemistry
building at Ames, $4,000 for the WON
ems building at the fair, $4,000 for
the serum laboratory, $4,000 for. cattle
industry, $4,000 for the railroad COM
mission, and some other sums for the
support Of the colleges and increased
compensation to officers and the needs
of new offices. SO in this way the ex-
traordinary appropriations for the ses-
sion will be kept down to not more
than q million and quarter dollars.
AS members are beginning to pack
up In readiness to go home they have
been reckoning on the fruits Of the
session and find there Is much about
which they may well boast. They
have
Almost completely reorganized the
educational system OF the state by bills
relating to the state department Of
education and the county superintend-
ency, giving added power to the de-
partment, providing for thorough su-
pervision of schools, giving state aid
for better schools and generally max
ing big forward step for more educa-
ton especially in the rural schools.
4 Amend the Constitution.
Taken a big forward step for get
ting back to the people by approving
formally and completely the plan for
amending the state constitution to
give the people a right to direct vote
on matters of legislation, and not only
giving the right to vote but giving that
right to all without regard to sex.

Iowa's Representatives in

fBY E. H. HANSON /

Washington. D. c., April 1s.-Sen
Iator Kenyon announced this week that
he, together with the other progres.
.siye republicans in the senate, would
make an effort to force the democrats
into compromise on the tariff bill
when It reaches the senate. such as
Senator LaFollette forced last year

schedules, on which the progressives
will make their fight.
with both Senator Kenyon and Sen.
ator Cummins lined up In the tarin
battle on the senate side, and with
the three democratic congressman
voting for the bill as 1t will be report
ed to the house following the close OF
the caucus: with Representative Green

the debates as a member OF the ways
and means committee and Represents
tive Good of the fifth district taxing

ncan leaders of the house, Iowa will

Buttons, Sugar and Meat.
The three schedules in which
1owans are most interested are those
reducing the duties on pearl buttons
and sugar and the one placing meats
on the free list.
Although Representative Pepper has
been lendeavoring to have the demo-
Gratis change the duty In the new Dill
on pearl buttons from forty per cent
ad yalorem to one cent line specinc,
none of the three democratic members
has been put in the position Of being
for tariff reduction away from home
hut protection at home. Mr.. Pepper
made this fight at the request Of the
Muscatine button manufacturers who
informed him they would be satisfied
with a rate Of one cent a line. Ac-
cording to the customs ohicials In the
department the two rates are
identical, though some
slight advantage may result to the
button men from specific duty.
Representative Connolly Of the third
district has beet sugar plant In his
district. He took no part In the sugar
f,eht in the caucus and will abide by
the decision of the caucus and vote for
the bill.
Overman Talked Plain.
The democratic position on the tariff
w-.s best stated this last week by Sen
ator Overman OF North Carolina when
4 number OF cotton mill owners from
his state visited him and urged him
10 work for an increase in their sched-
ule over the rate in the proposed bill.
Ia effect, he told them that the demo-
cratic party was chosen by the whole
. ,ple to SO reduce the tariff that 1t
would benefit the many, even though
t did hit q particular few. He further
said that upon thorough study he be-
Lieved that there wasn't single
detrimental rate in the new bill,--that
every legitimate, healthy normal bust
less would be benefited by 1t, although
be was willing to concede that some
mushroom business might be hurt.

ficts Wounds.

Chicago, April 18.-Formal investi-
cation by the coroner of the death OF
John E. Wayman, former states at
torney, was scheduled to be held late

self-inflicted wounds early today nine
hours after he has discharged into his
body two bullets from an automatic
pistol given into his keeping by Chas.
Lund, whom he was to defend on
charges of killing Edward Paul, labor
leader on April II. This tragedy was
an incident of the strike OF union
painters and Wayman had taken the
pistol home for examination. Way
man was conscious most OF the time
after the shooting and expressed re-
gret for his act.

The shooting occurred at 3:4O
o'clock in the afternoon in q clothes
closet in Mr.. Wayman's bedroom on
the second floor of his home. A con-
sultation of physicians with the attor-
ney was to have been held only few
minutes later. Mrs. Wayman and the
three children were in the living room
on the first floor at the time. Mrs.
Waynan rushed upstairs and found
her husband on the bed but still con-
scious.
Mr.. Wayman did not lose conscious
ness even for a moment. He talked
with the physicians and friends who
called at the home following the shoot
ing ~
Il don't know why did it," he said.
Il am very sorry"
At another time he said Il guess
