ate fought halt the morning over SEN
ator Chase's resolution cutting OH
state fair passes from members OF the
legislature, entertained and killed a
half dozen amendments to the meas
ure, and finally passed 1t 26 to 8 with

SOLONS PLAN FOR
SPRING RECESS
Legislature Will Probably Adjourn
February IS to Permit Members
TO Return Home.

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE legis.
lature will probably adjourn IN
about ten days for the regular spring
recess. The 25th is being discussed
a., the probable date for getting back
to see the home folks and ask them
what they think about 1t as far as the
has gone. That would
mean adjournment over until after
March 8, so that tax paying and other
old jobs could be done at home.
The legislature is further along with
its work than usual, and larger num-
Der OF bills have been presented and
considered in committees than usual at
this time Of the year. BY the time OF
the recess adjournment there will have
been completion of the consideration
of the main bills regarding schools,
preparation of the chief bill relating to
highway administration, some con-
sideration to the bills on elections. In
surance, banks, and the proposed leg1s-
lation as to agricultural interests.
Most of the appropriation bills will
have been given some consideration.
The taxation bills and those on pub
lie utilities will not be very far along.
The decks will be cleared fairly well
for the larger business of the session
and there will be chance for con-
sultation with the home folks on many
matters, which the Legislators naturally
desire. It is hoped that the college
controversy will have been disposed OF
in some satisfactory way by the time
of the recess.
