Des Moines, April flames tri.
umphed over Iowa in their biennial
fight for increased appropriatiCSs
this morning when the senate adopted
by a unanimous vote the Jones plan
for state educational support substi-
tuted for the more complicated meth
cd of maintaining the state education
al institutions. The agricultural
school at Ames was voted an increase
of $225,000 while the state university
was granted, an increase of but SILL
800. The greater increase in enroll
ment at Ames was responsible for
i the victory. However the Jones bill
must be considered by the house be-
fore it Is sent to the governor and the
Iowa supporters are in control in the
house. More than so appropriation
bills we're wiped out of existence by
the adoption OF the Jones scheme
which was more in the nature OF
codification of the present law. The
total increase for state education
amounts to $464,95G but the income of
the millage tax will reduce the actual
increase over the last biennial period
to $1S3,075. Hereafter direct approp-
riations will be made instead
of the millage tax plan. Iowa will re-
ceive a total OF $916,500, including
$50, 900 for buildings; Ames receives
- 100000 including $150,000 for
buildings; Cedar Falls will receive
1898 300 and the Vinton school for the
Blind $53,350. Special appropriations
included In the total amounts follow
Iowa, $66,500; Ames; $4,000, Cedar
Falls $500. Big slices were made in
the amounts asked by the various
schools. Chairman Savage of the APP
preparations committee recommended
tnat a policy of retrenchment be in
augurated. The senate rejected the
attempt of Allen to inject an amend
ment which would have appropriated
$25 900 for q child welfare depart
ment at the state university. Allen
contended that the children are EMIT
a led to have better care and that SPEC
ial appropriations for the welfare oil
cattle have proved a benefit and the
same would be true of children.
I Inc senate of the Iowa legislature
late yesterday passed the house Dill
by Nordyke providing that the Wom'
ans suffrage resolution be submitted
to the voters for their approval at
the primary elections. 1t had pre-
viously passed bill, however, chang
ing the primary from June to the
third Monday in August and refused
to reconsider it's action, demonstrate
ing that it knew full well what 1t had
done. Many insist that this post
ponement of the primary is aimed at
defeat of the wOman's suffrage con-
stitutional amendment resolution by
the people. At any rate, should the
resolution carry and women be ac-
corded the ballot, they will have but
little time to figure much in the next
election campaign which follows in
November.
Capitol Extension Remains.
The senate killed the movement to
retract part of the capitol extension
program by defeating the bill by
Representative Ball of Jefferson,
which would have cut off large slice
of the property purchased. This
means capitol extension will go on
as planned.
