Manager Davis has irrefutably shown

Pittsburghian clan at football last fall
and wanted to show an alibf.
Manager Davis gives his alibi in the
form of pretty complete history OF
every member of the team. At any
rate, the history is complete enough

c. A Meeting.

| The a1l-important meeting in Water
loo on January Is is causing increased
interest as the time approaches. Not
break up the four old players rule
adopted at Burlington, but the player
limit rule will also be a subject OF
much criticism. President Justice has
pointed out that while the four old
players rule was adopted unanimously
at the last meeting Of the league, 1t
would probably be declared uncon-
stitutional by the national commission
il the matter was referred to it. There
was unanimous desire on the part OF
everybody that the player and salary
limit be maintained and President
Justice is Of the opinion that the four
man rule will be a good thing for this
organization. He says. however. that
this rule may be changed at the Wat
erloo meeting by a majority vote
AS for the salary limit the Water
loo meeting can do nothing about 1t
as the limit of thirteen players for
CIass D leagues is a law adopted by
the minor league convention at Oma~
ha. There was an attempt by Presi.
dent Justice and others OF the Cen
trail association to have the limit OF
thirteen players not include non-play-
ing managers, but this attempt was q
failure; so the rule now stands that
the player limit Is thirteen men In
Guiding all managers whether playing
or not. There are certain fans in
this league who think the player limit
rule can be changed at Waterloo and
they have Teen arguing in favor or
this for several weeks. This can not
be done, however.

lature will convene next month with
out single issue in the advance pro-
gram on which lines are sharply
drawn or a question likely to revive
any Of the old bitterness or factional-

republican side.
Conditions are regarded as ideal for

Expect Few Important Bills.

The republicans, with an over
whelming majority in both houses,
will have to assume responsibility for
whatever measures are enacted. The
administration will hardly stand spon-
sor for any legislation OF importance
this winter. Governor Clarke and his
aids are in a defensive rather than an
offensive attitude. and may have their
hands full to prevent reaction against
the program, particularly the elaborate
capitol extension scheme, put through
two years ago.
Big business, which has for years
furnished target for attack, seems
in fair way to escape the coming
session without being seriously dis
turbed. There appears to be dispo-
sition to let business alone and give
1t an opportunity to get accustomed
to the measures which have been
tackled on in the past. There is one
possible exception. An effort may be
made to pass the minimum wage law
which failed in the thirty-ffth assem-
bly,
A certain class of insurance COM
panies may be hit, too, if the legisla-
ture adopts the recommendations Of
Industrial Commissioner Garst for a
state mutual insurance plan to take
care Of the liabilities incurred under
the workmen's compensation law. AS
rule. though, the corporations seem
destined to escape without the usual
turmoil over rates, exemptions, passes,
liability, capitalization, and the score
and more of other things which have
been on the gridiron almost constant
ly for decade.

To correct Presen. Laws.

Practically everything mentioned
thus far as part OF the legislative pro-
gram deals with economic problems
with relation to the state government
and the correction OF faults found in
existing laws. Under the first named
head the following proposed measures
are listed:
REORGANIZATION Of the state govern
ment along the lines recommended by
efficiency engineers hired by the last
assembly.
The state mutual plan for indus
trial insurance.
Laws proposed for revision are:
The game laws.
The primary laws.
Tho judiciary election laws.
The road laws
The prison laws.
Two constitutional amendments
passed by the last legislature will be
I'M for disposition this winter. They
are:
The initiative and referendum.
The woman's suffrage amendment.
New measures expected up for con-
sidcration are:
Home rule for cities with reference
to Improvements.
! SHORTENING the ballot.
Preservation Of lakes.
| Housing regulations.
County and city management.
| A ballot system for travelling men.

IOWA HOG PLAGUE IDEAl
Plan Of Having Federal Government
Supervise Manufacture Of All chol.
era Serum 70 Do Taken UP at Meet.
+. ing Of Veterinarians at Kansas City.

Special to Times Republican.
Dies Moines, Jan. 27.-The Iowa idea
as to assurance Of quality in hog chol-
era serum is likely to receive a sub
stantial boost at the big meeting OF
In Kansas City this week.
This Is the idea worked out and suy-
gested by Prof. w. ]. Kennedy, of
Ames. 1t was put before the stock
men at Chicago at the time of the in
ternational show and met with quick
response.
This il the plan Of having the fed
eral government undertake the inspec-
ton Of factories manufacturing serum
and to have q government inspector
put a label on each package to in
dictate that It has been tested and
found good.
The factories making the serum
have to test each making of the
serum anyway. It is a somewhat cost
" process. But there could be no OBJ
lection to federal inspector being
present to pass on the quality Of the
stuff. One probably could take care
of a half dozen factories and the ex-
pense to the federal government would
be comparatively small.
I, The suggestion came because OF the
fact that there has been a great deal
OF complaint, in Iowa and elsewhere.
OF a poor quality Of the serum sold to
the farmers. There Is no question
whatever as to the quality Of the SER
UNI supplied from the state laboratory
and reports indicate that in every
case it has been effective. But there
is purchased in Iowa each year prob
ably a million dollars worth OF the
serum from outside factories. 1t is
important that this be Of assured
quality.
The Kennedy plan would be Of great
value to the farmers in that 1t would
stop much Of the loss in the purchase
OF serum not good and greatly aid IN
stopping the ravages of the hog choi-
era. AS the largest collection Of fac
tories supplying Iowa is found at Kan
sas City. probably the men attending
the veterinary convention Will get a
chance to visit these factories and
see what is being done. Their at
tention Is to be called. also, to the pro-
posed federal inspection proposition.

its artillery would be out Of business
because there WAS not-a sufficient sup

was made plain BY the testimony Of

This - not the first time the need

War Department Aims,
Az stated by General Wood. the war
department il attempting to accumu-
late q total OF 1855. guns Of various
cal,bers for the field artillery. This
number is the minimum considered es-
sential for an army Of 100000 men. At
the end Of the civil war, the northern
armies had 1900 guns. The war DE.
partment now has built and under con-
tract or appropriated for 1853 guns.
That leaves $50 guns to be built.

be appropriated this year. General
Wood told tho sub committee the war
department believed the time had come
to get ready. 1--WE have been for years
without any adequate equipment" said
he.
One Of the striking facts presented
by General Wood to the cub commit
tee was that there are now available
in this country a little over 100000
rounds Of field artillery ammunition.
But at Mukden in nine days. the 1905
Russian guns expended 100000 rounds.
This was In single great battle Gem
eral Wood brought 1t out that to man
ufacture the ordnance needed by this
country would take several years at
least and that it would also take many
months to get adequate supplies Of ann
munition. Like General Crozier, he fa-
vors purchase Of powder from private
manufacturers, even at higher rates
than the government can make it for,
in order that the private plants can be
utilized by the government. in war time.
Reserve Supply Needed. +
AS the situation now stands, the
army officers contend there is no sup
ply Of powder here to meet the coun-
try's needs and private manufacturers
should be allowed to supply that need
until a reserve supply is built up. II
was declared before the sub committee
by General Crozier that there was no
place in the world where supply Of
