detection Of the working force for the
state capitol and state house grouhus
under the adjutant general ex-oHicio.
The demand for this bill arises IRON
the fact that no governor ror MANY
years has been able to avoid the IN
evitable controversy over the s.ate
house working force. There mas peen
trouble piled upon trouble sooo
many Of the janitors and others are
men we'll advanced in years ana very
hard to get along with. They are
ritable and so broken in health that
they cannot do mrch work. Inc Gus
todians have been old men and not az
ways tactful. Now it Is proposed 20
leave this matter to the aoJutait ss
eral. BY adding a little to MS lolce
and providing that he may nave JUST
a small amount Of time to devote TO
the work it is argued better results
will be obtained for the state.
The food and dairy committees
heard from the makers of homogen-
lied ice cream yesterday afternoon III
connection with the bill to regulate
bottlers and a lively controversy was
had made tolerable only by the 1act
that the ice cream makers furnished
samples of their product. They as
sured members it was not poison anu
they were invited to partake OF IT anu
prove it's .harmlessness. The ice cream
makers insist that they should pc per-
mitted to make ice cream out OF the
homogenized product, because 1t is I'M
possible to secure enough 1resh cream
in the ice cream season for making all
the product. By the use of a 'nonno-
genizer' the ice cream factory taxes
any old butter and reworks IT INTO
cream and out of this is able to make
ice cream which cannot be told by the
taste from the product Of fresh cream.
1t was developed at the hearing tnat
if Iowa takes hold of the matter OIL
listing and licensing the use OF the
homogenizer 1t will be pioneer among
states tackling this subject.
Senator Grout has been putting IN
some good work on a bill the purpose
of which is to enable Black Hawk
county ia take advantage of an offer
of land for the plant of an agricultural
school in Waterloo. H. B. Allen, a
pioneer, now in California, has offered
to give eighty acres of land for this
school and to endow it if provision IS
made for development and support. me
bill gives to the county-or any other
county similarly situated-the option
of providing by taxation for support OF
a local agricultural school. There IS
some opposition developed to the Dill
because of fear it would be an enter
ing wedge for a system that might
grow to great proportions. but others
are saying that fact should be well
coined.
Railroad men had a hearing today
before committees on three bills. There
is a pending bill to adjust the matter
of occupancy of certain streets. In
Cedar Rapids as between the interur-
ban and the railroads and this is OPP
posed by the railroads. Another Dill
is one for the light engine crew, or
requiring that a certain number or
persons must accompany an engine
running over railroad even without a
train. The other bill discussed today
is the seim- monthly payday bill.
The bill which has passed the house
relating to inclusion of highways along
the borders of first class cities or with
in the corporate limits in the county
road system would make it possible to
have these roads handled by the board
of supervisors, and not be neglected
as they now are in practically all
| cases The bill simply authorizes the
county board to include such portions
of the roads as they deem proper.
