Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 15-With twenty
two members either absent or not yot-
ing the bill to establish child's vel
fare station at the state university
failed to get a constitutional majority
by seven votes in the house OF the Iowa
legislature. The roll call showed ~
for and 35 against the measure. Rep
resentative Ring, who introduced the
measure, declared that another attempt
would be made when the house has
normal attendance. Fifty-hVe aHlrma-
tive votes are necessary.
Two important amendments were
tackled on the bill during the morning
proceedings. One by Representative
Moore. OF Guthrie county, which car
ried reduced the appropriation from
$50. 900 to $25,000 annually.
The second amendment struck OUT
the word research" wherever 1t ap-
peared in the bill and added section
which provides all research done by the
station must be original. The object
of the amendment, according to Repre-
sentative Bingham OF Emmett county,
who introduced it. Is to eliminate the
publication OF research work that at
ready has been done by the federal and
o,ner state governments. Representa-
tive Ring declared when the amend
ment was offered that 1t would prac-
ticaIly nullify the spirit OF the proposed
BIZ. On a rising vote the Bingham
amendment carried ~ to %.
The measure was bitterly opposed by
Representative Miller. OF Bremen coun-
ty. He dubbed the measure a pro-
fessor's welfare" rather than "child's
welfare station because OF the salaries
that would be paid to men who would
carry on the work.
The child welfare bill has been back
ed by club women of the entire state.
They have spent considerable time and
money In campaigning for the measure.
The idea is an outgrowth of Save the
Babies" campaigns conducted in Des
Moines and elsewhere.
Members OF the legislature are re-
ceiving letters from the officers Of the
