of n greater interest in the remodelin =

the public may own and enjoy. Not a
park merely, but a beautiful place
where flowers can be pulled to give

might never see such rare bits of

these blossoms were all raised at the

The Samuel Weymans were quite
anxious to have their friends who
had invited them so frequently for
these informal occasions back to
their house. They arranged q rather
odd dancing hall. Where do you sup

they arrived? Why, to no other place
than the garage. The upper floor was
all thrown together, the floor waxed,
and everything was so much fun, and
no trouble in the morning of putting

Belser undertook to get a graduated
passenger rate into the two-cent mile
age bill by way Of amendment, and
that at no time did as many as twenty
Of the one hundred and twenty-four
members vote for anything other than
the flat two-cent mileage rate as appli-
cable to all roads. Mr. Brice tried to
get an amendment adopted that would
apply the two-cent rate to all roads
that showed a total passenger earning
of $4,000 or more per mile per year,
and then for roads that showed a gross
earning Of over $4,000 per mile per
year at rate Of two and half cents,
and where the road showed an earning
Of less than 5000 per mile per annum
from passenger, express and mail SER
vice that they be allowed to charge
three cents. This proposition utterly
failed, as did subsequent suggestion
that the Act should not apply to roads
twenty miles or less in length. 1t

far rs the majority Of the House was
concerned.

The above plat shows the pur-
chase for Extension of the State
Capitol Grounds.
The Journal states that it is 70
acres.-The actual measurement of
land bought is 40 l-10 acres. The
streets and alleys vacated by the
city of Des Moines contained within
this area and surrendered to the
State, amounts to 26 100 acres.
This will not cost the people of the
State a cent. The plat shows sew
eral blocks and parts of blocks
marked NOT BOUGHT. This land
has been deemed after a thorough
study as not needed and will not be
bought, as the Executive Council
has authority to decide this matter
They may buy less but can not buy
more than the bill calls for.
There Is something else the Jour
nal forgot I'm its hurry, which 1t
no doubt will correct when its atten-
ton is called, and which it's plat
ought to show. The State already
owns nearly n block where the
heating plant is located, another

Now as to the Capitol extension
vote The senate contains so mem
bers; Of these II are democrats. On
the vote as to whether the bill pro-
viding for Capitol Extension should

against the bill and SIX WE'RE ABB
SENT on roll call.
The House of Representatives
contains los members, sc are Re-
publicans and AZ Democrats IS
democrats voted for it and II dem
ocrats against it. Seven democrats
were either absent or did not vote
on the question.
Now to pass a bill in the House
of Representatives of the Iowa
General Assembly there must be 55
votes in favor of such measure. The
Capitol Extension measure passed
70 for and 27 against it, and there
were absent or not voting. II mem
bers.
Now if the Is democrats who vot-
ed FOR the passage of this bill had
voted as the Democratic party of
Iowa NOW contend that all Repub-
lican members should have voted
and as the Journal claims Hon. L.
NJ. Enger should have voted, had he
been present. this bill could not
have passed the House. So the bill
to extend the Capitol grounds was
really passed by DEMOCRATIC
VOTES. Only 50 Republicans vot-
ed for it, and IS Democrats voted
for it, thus giving it the required
constitutional majority.
If the IS Democrats had voted
against the Capitol Extension bill
the vote would have stood So for
