Des Moines, March PA complete
diagram and explanation OF the bien-
the thirty-fifth general assembly to-
day. 1t is the result of the labors
Of Chairman Mates and Chairman
Larrabee, the purse string holders of
the legislature, upon whose broad
shoulders rests responsibility to a large
extent for the financing of state mat
tiers the next two years.
In appropriation matters, which are
little exploited in q sensational way
but are most important, the senate ma
turally takes the lead. The statement
which the senator from Sac placed in
the records today for the editication OF
the members, shows the immensely of
the problem
Already the senate committee on APP
preparations has recommended for pas
sage bills which foot up a total OF
S516, 705.67.
The total OF money available the
outside limit, is s1,300,00
Bills in the hands of the appropria-
commended and those passed, show an
aggregate of s6,23l, 340.92.
Bills in the hands OF other commit
tees but carrying appropriations and
including those passed, show an ag-
gregate of s665,6OO.
These two items, of bills actually
in the senate, not including at least
a half million additional in house bills
f-t -
of $6,S69, 940.92. This is the first COM
