BLUE SKY
BILL KILLED

Des Moines, April 22.-The Thomas
blue sky law may not become a law
1t was rumored at the state house yes
terday that an effort is being made to
get the governor to withdraw his sig
nature from the measure It was
passed by both houses Saturday and
signed that night by the governor.
1t is understood that the method by
which the bill passed the house is be.
ing attacked.
W. 5. Allen, secretary of state, is
afraid the law will pile SO much work
on his department that he cannot han
die 1t with limited funds. The legis-
lature cut down his force Provision
Is made in the law for the appointment
OF additional help. No specific sum OF
money is appropriated for paying the
additional clerks.
But the law does prevent the secre.
tary from naming a relative, either by
blood or by marriage, to a position in
connection with enforcing the law.
Mr.. Allen is worried also about han
ding the regular work of his depart
ment. He says that instead of cutting
down his help the legislature should
have given him more.
"The employees have offered to work
an extra hour day SO that we can
take care of the work, but will not
permit them to do so,'' he said. II
don't propose to permit those in my
department to work longer than other.
state employees. It is not fair to them.
y am going to do the best / can with
the help l have. The retrenchment
and reform committee may eventually
grant me some extra clerks"
