REPUBLICANS DO
NOT WANT DEMO AID
Declining Proposition Of Democrats
They Believe That the Nominal
ton May Get BY.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 10.-Republi'
can senators this afternoon declined
the proposition made to them by the
democrats to appoint committees from
both sides of the senate to consider
President Taft's nominations to office.
Senator Martin, chairman of the demo
cratic caucuses, said after receiving
the decision that he would probably
call caucus Of democratic senators
for tomorrow to consider what steps
should next be taken.
Confirmation of some Of President
Taft's recent appointments Is expected
in the senate within the next week.
Democratic leaders, working on a
plan permitting endorsements of some
of tn appointments without approving
all believe they will reach basis to con-
firm some of the nominations without
acting on those they regard as most
obje 'ionable.
Suggestions of republican filibuster
against all legislation including ap-
preparation bills unless the democrats
confirm all appointments have met
objection by republican leaders on the
;-ound that the republican admins
tration would suffer most If appropria-
ton bills were held up. It is expected
that the republicans will not agree to
any formal compromise before going
into executive session but will en-
deavor first to force action on all ap-
pointments. Failing in that some basis
of agreement may be arrived at An
executive session will undoubtedly be
taken as soon as the Archibald i'm
parchment trial is disposed Of.

signal that real reform is to be the
watchword in Iowa legislative matters
this year. Such step has been long
considered; a good many of the men,
bers think this is the time to move.
In the senate, for many years, the
custom has prevailed of having a
~committee clerk for each and every
senator. Formerly there was clerk
for every chairman of committee in
each house. Practically every senator
was chairman of something or other
About half the house members were
chairmen. The house a few years ago
backed up, to small degree, by limit
ing the number of committee clerks
and requiring Though that is more
nominal than otherwise) that they all
be stenographers. The senate still
follows the custom Of permitting each
senator to have clerk. 1t is a bit
OF graft not relished by all.
"A member of the state senate few
years ago had his wife as his com
mittee clerk at SO per day. Another
at the last session had his daughter
on the payroll while she was attend
ing Drake university A great many
OF them have sons or daughters placed
on the payroll this way.
Now some of the leading senators
propose the Introduction into the SEN
ate on the first day, of resolution
limiting the number of committee
clerks, so that clerks will be had for
the more important committees; then
q corps of stenographers to do the
general work for members. A saving
of $75 day could thus be easily ef-
fected.
To Protect the Hogs.
One of the first matters to be pre-
scented to tie legislature will be that
of making provision in some way for
an effective fight against the swine
plague. There are good many farm
er members CT the house this year.
They are all aware of the ravages the
hog cholera and kindred ailments
have made on the swine herds of the
state They have nearly all investi-
gated the work that has been done
where the serHDs has been secured

In the opinion of Mrs. Francis NJ
Swanzy, who, with j. A. Rath, directed
the Red Cross Seal campaign in Homo.

have reached not less than four thou
sand dollars when the returns are finally
received, while indications are that in
the way of donations the AntisTubor-

This was only an estimate, hurriCdly
made by Mrs. Swanzv late last evening,
and with complete returns from only a
few of the many women aides she has
had assisting her during the week.
Though the sale was to have closed
last night, it was decided not to finish
until today, to give persons employed
in stores, factories and other places n
chance to-eontribute their share toward
the cause of combating tuberculosis in
