Bill. Arouses Interest.


Canning factories are beginning to
labor bill which was passed by the
Thirty-sixth general assembly. Other
establishments employing girls also
fear that they will be affected. At
torneys construe the law differently
and 1t is probable that the attorney
general will be asked for ruling.
According to the bill girls under Is
will be barred from some industries
in addition to the street trades. The
secretary of state has received many
inquiries in regard to the new hog
cholera serum law. The measure re-
quires firms out of the state to COM
ply with the terms of the law with
regard to every distributing point In
Iowa. Swift & Co. operates seven
distributing points in Iowa for SER
UNI. Other packing plants have from
three to ten distributing points.
Many New State Banks.
There have been about 20 banks or.
ganized under state laws since the
| of existence-three by consolidation
| and two to become national banks.
The. latter two are in Elma and Rem
brandt Banks In Des Moines. Cedar
Rapids and Gilman have consolidated.
The adoption of law authorizing
banks organized under state law to
join the federal reserve will have no
effect on the situation. Come time
ago four or FIVE state organized banks
were DESTROYS of joining the federal
reserve, but 1t is said none Of them
now desire to do so, since there is a
law permitting 1t. Only sixteen banks
under state laws in the whole United
States have become members Of the
federal reserve system. All the ma
tional banks are compelled to belong.
viii, Set Good Example.
Army officials of the division OF
militia affairs Of the war department
were greatly pleased when they re-
ceived letter from Adjutant Gener-
al Logan, telling Of the recent legis-
lation whereby one regiment of in
fantry of the Iowa National guard
would be converted into two batter
les of field artillery, a squadron of
cavalry, company Of engineers and
an ambulance company. iowa is the
first state to conform to the new or-'
der" said the officials. They referred
to the new plan of the war depart
ment to have the national guard Of
the state reorganized so as to have
its power proportion of infantry, cav
airy, artillery and other branches OF
the service.
House Journals.
The House OF Representatives pro-
vided by resolution that copies OF the
uncorrected Journals of the house for
the last two days be sent to each
member at his home, so that the
members could make corrections
which relate TO themselves and by
having them sent back to the clerk
provide that the final printed and
corrected copy of the Journal be
right. The senate merely directed
that the secretary make the correc-
tions Of the Journal of the Senate.
Only one member sent back to have
corrections made as to his vote in
the last two days, stating he was
present and voted when the clerk
record showed him not voting.
Old Soldiers Retained.
Old soldiers at the state house In
the janitor service are unduly alarmed
over the prospect Of being discharged.
according to reports. The new Gus
todian, Adjutant General Logan.
states that although the Thirty-sixth
general assembly ordered that seven
OF the janitors shall be under As
years OF age, an increase Of four men
to the stan was authorized, and three
men under IS years are already on
the pay roll. Therefore no compe-
tent veteran need fear discharge on
that account, 1t is said. One night
Waterman, who Is veteran, will lose
his place because the act specifies
that the night Waterman shall be un-
der As years.
New Law In Effect.
The law creating state board OF
audit to handle all claims against the
state has gone into effect. In the
future the executive council will be
relieved of the duty of approving all
bills. Attorney General George Cos
SON has specified that John Fletcher,
deputy attorney general, shall serve
on the audit board to represent the
department of justice. A. U. Swan,
assistant secretary of the executive
council, and F. 8. Shaw, auditor Of
state, will complete the board
