TWO REFORM BILLS PASSED, ONE
~ HOUSE AND ONE BY
SENATE.
DOCUMENT EDITOR
HAS BEEN NEEDED
Senate Passes Bill Doing Away With
Capitol Custodian and Making Ad-
jutant General Ex.ofieial Custodian
Senate Agrees That Newspapers
Should Have Moro Pay For Tax Lists
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March ga positive
forward step in the direction of reform
in some matters of state concern was
taken yesterday in the legislature. Two
excellent bills were adopted. one in
the house and one in the senate.
The house passed the bill to provide
for a document editor. There will be
those who will hail this as another act
creating a new office" and literally
that will be true, but il is a measure
that will inevitably reduce the cost Of
state printing and binding, make the
printed reports and documents worth
more to the public, and be more sat
istactory to the state officials. The
senate would have taken it up a once
but it was desired that an amendment
be made that will give the document
editor more power for revision OF re-
ports. The committee on retrenchment
and reform will have the selection Of
the editor. This move is something
entirely separate and apart from any
considerations of the Law as 10 the man
ner of doing the state printing under
state control or by farming it out to
many offices.
Custodian Eliminated.
The senate passed The bill to make
the adjutant general ex-officio custo-
dian Of the capital and grounds. In
view Of the trouble Which has sur
rounded that office for some years this
is regarded as wise move, and any
way there Is feeling that it viii effect
a saving Of two salaries, for the Gus
todian has an assistant whose place
will not be needed. If the bill becomes
a law the appointment OF the present
custodian 10 succeed himself will not
be confirmed.
The senate passed bill by Helmer
which raises the compensation by 50
cent for the printing Of the tax lists in
counties of $4,000 population or less.
Other Proposed Steps.
The house passed the bill to permit
of having vote on oman suffrage at
the time Of the June primary next
year instead OF putting it on until No
vember. This is desired by the won en-
and by all who are urging the change.
The superstition is that better decis-
ion can be secured in June than in No
vember. 49,
The house has placed on the calen-
dar bill by Mr.. Ball. cf Fairfield.
which is a last feeble strike at the cap
itol extension. 1t proposes to cut
down the area or cut off the improve
ment or something OF the sort. The
purpose of placing in on the calendar
is that there shall be a half day spent
in fiery speeches to fulfill Campaign
pledges of last year.
The senate neatly buried the Doran
bill to repeal the law as to special as
sessment and taxation OF moneys and
credits. The house also quietly buried
the bill to require examination of pri-
vate banks.

le.b.ra Theory pisprev.d.

That the temperature OF sea water
rises slightly near an iceberg. as one
man Of science has asserted. Is a con.
ciusion not borne out by the investi-s
cations of the bureau Of standards.
During the summer patrol Of the Unitedl
States steamships Chester and Birs<s
ingham in the North Atlantic. mem
bers Of the stan OF the bureau took
automatic records Of the temperature
Of the water. The records show that
the changes Of temperature in the sea
far from icebergs are at least as great
and sudden as the changes near them.
and that they do not point to the pres
ence Of icebergs. They find also that
an iceberg more often lowers than
raises the temperature of the water
near 1t. These conclusions are iden-
tical with those arrived at by the OBJ
servers on the Scotia. which was sent
out to the Newfoundland banks by
the British board Of trade in the sum-
mer Of 1913, except that they more
often observed small rises of temper
allure in the neighborhood of icebergs.

Thinks Something Is
Wrong With Schools

Rrom the otero County News.)
ITO any one who e. AZ an familiar
with educational matters
q throughout the state OF New
Mexico u must be quite apparent that
there IL something wrong. IL ~ quite
safe to estimate that the number OF
non resident teachers that are nm-
pioyed in the state n ten per ZEN OF
the total number employed IN New
Mexico school rooms. Il IN entirely
logical TO say that there is q reason
for this: u may be a good reason or
u may be n bad one. and to- prove
that either Is the case II not the OBJ
ject Of these few remarks.
There arc many teachers. a great
many OF them young ones. who have
sradua/sd from high schools during
the past several years and later took
normal training. who are not employ
ed and who are unable to get schools
hecauHe there are not enoieh POSI-
tons to 80 around. Now the most ~
the nonresident teachers employed
an the schools OF New Mexico are
specialists In some branch Of educa-
tional work, manual training. domes-
Tic art and science. spanish. etc.
The matter would seem 10 resolve
itself into this-if the New Mexico
Normals are training teachers 10 be
efficient and are Offering courses in
all the speciul work required In New
Mexico school rooms, then The various
boards throughout the state that are
employing nonresident teachers are
not very loyal TO their wi state and
are more OF less Jlamahle for the
condition. ON the other hand. " the
normal schools are not training
teachers to be efficient or are not Of
ferlng special training IN all the work
that IL required in New Mexico then
they are to that extent a failure. and
should get right.
There cannot be much question but
that u all the normal schools In the
state were merged into one good
strong school the advantages woald
be much better for the teachers and
the one school would be less expense
