About One Hundred More Old Soldiers

Have Made Application for Trans
portation to Battle Field of Gettys-
burg for the Great Reunion.
Des ines.-Arrangements will be
made at once to provide the money
needed to send all Iowa veterans who
participated in the battle of Gettys-
burg to the reunion on the battlefield
Ia July. 1t is probable the governor
and the follower senators will make
provisions to get the money from a
bank.
Senator Thomas of Union has writ
ten letters to all of the holdover
senators asking their cooperation. 1t
is probable he also will write to other
members SO their support of bill in
the next Legislature, in case they are
returned, will be assured.
Il am willing to advance my share
Of the money, but believe a better
plan is to obtain loan," said Govern
or Clarke. "Some of the holdover
senators may not feel able to put up
their share while they will be willing
to sign note.
There is no question about the
money being raised. This trip is a
debt Iowa owes to the veterans OF the
battle. We last winter obligated our
selves to send all of those eligible to
go, 1t would be mighty poor business

The state appropriation will not
provide for more than 230, and over
300 want transportation.
at is impossible to tell how many
there will be- said DR.. George A.
Newman, assistant adjutant general.
1--WE intended to close the list May
Is, but found that would not do"
B. c. Ward, state representative of
the national committee in charge OF
the reunion, telegraphed headquarters
to reserve accommodations for 400
Iowans at the reunion.
New Law Will Be Tested.
Attorney I. M. Earle of Des Moines,
who was one of the chief opponents
OF the blue sky law at the hearings
before the governor, says that uD-
doubtedly the constitutionality OF the
law will be tested in the courts The
case may be brought into court, ac-
cording to Mr.. Earle in one of two
ways, to wit:
First any taxpayer may apply to the
district court for an order enjoining
the secretary of state from employ
ing help and expanding money to
carry out the law, on the ground that
the law is not constitutional, and
that the peoples funds cannot be
used to enforce an unconstitutional
law.
Second. any persons affected by the
law might refuse to meet its provi-
sions, and upon being brought into
court under section IL, would set up
as a defense that the law is uncon-
stitutional
In either case the law would be
operative and in force until a court
of jurisdiction had issued an injunc-
ton against the secretary of state. II
such an injunction were issued the
secretary OF state would have to re-
frain from carrying out the provisions
of the law until the case is decided in
his favor by the court.
Cow Big Disease Carrier.
When the legislature failed to APP
propriate the necessary funds for the
establishment of state testing labor
atory It left the public at the mercy
of the mild-eyed tuberculosis mich
COW. according to DR.. L. E. Eslick OF
Rockwell City In his annual address
yesterday afternoon before the meet
ing of the Iowa Eclectic society at
the Trades and Labor assembly hall,
Dr. Eslick told his associates of his
efforts to have this law enacted
"The public does not realize how
much 1t is at the mercy OF the family
cow" said Dr. Eslick. 1--WE know
that the greater percentage of tuber-
culosis cases is directly attributed to
the tubercular germ in the milk OF
diseased cows"
More Anent Capitol Grounds.
Some of the people in my district
are finding fault with the legislature
for extending the capitol grounds,
said Senator John H. Taylor of Van
Buren,. II have been criticised for
voting for the millage tax BILL l have
been asked why did it. have re-
sponded that thought the bill good
one, and that II l. had II to do over
again | would register my vote for a
better capitol grounds. Some of the
newspapers are saying that the ex-
tension will be made political capital
by the democrats. IIdon't believe It
will be a good argument And re-
publicans are in poor business urging
the democrats on"
