Des Moines, Jan. Like in every
other case of the assembling of the
representatives of the people Of Iowa
to transact the state business, the be-
ginnings of the thirty-siXth general
assembly were of somewhat chaotic
order. 1t would seem that out of the
abundant experience of the past there
would be on such occasions a move
to Informally agree upon a program
for the week, to be known fully in ad-
vance and then to conform to the
same. But on assembling this morn
ing it was still an open question as
to Just when the two houses would be
ready for bills and committee work.
The governors biennial message,
which must be delivered before the
canvass of the vote and inauguration,
is ready in pamphlet form to go to the
members. He can address them after
his second Inauguration at any mo-
ment.
The complete organization of the
house and senate was effected quickly.
Organization consists in electing the
recording agents and Installing the
presiding officers. But there are
many other little preliminaries, such
as ordering codes for each member,
committees to handle the extra en-
ployes" problem, selecting committee
clerks, etc.
There is no reason, however, why
both houses should not receive bills
Tuesday or Wednesday for many
members have their bills all ready to
be fired at first chance, then that
these bills could be printed and before
the commencement of another week
a sufficient number of bills be on hand
for work. This may be done.

meet in Joint session and canvass the

officials elected must take the oath.

ting along too fast some excuse for
delay can be devised; but that is the
regular order.

January 13.-Yesterday may be set

showed again. The ice froze on the
electric wires and it was impossible for
the street cars to run. The company
made every effort possible to clear the
wires, but without avail. In the night
another fall came, and mixing with
the ice and slush completely blocked
the track. The thermometer stood at
S degrees above zero this morning.

hailed as the precursor of general re.

Legislature in Chaos Despite the
WeNLaid Plans for Opening Session
deserved the congratulations
BY ORA WILLIAMS
Special Des Molnes Correspondent for The Courier

deserved the congratulations that
came to him.
Despite efforts to change the situa-
| ton, a good many candidates for minor
positions who live in Des Moines We're
successful. Always there are many
candidates from this city. Not all Of
the most deserving are selected. The
senate caucus tried to eliminate some
of the Des Moines candidates by rule
that no senator should indorse more
than one candidate, but this rule was
too drastic and was not adopted.
! An entire new ''retrenchment and
reform committee will be on duty in
a few days, with only two or three of
the old members continuing on the
committee. The statutory purpose Of
this committee Is to arrange the bud
get for the minor positions in the state
service and miscellaneous appropria-
tons. This is, of itself, big task.
The republican caucus selections
for positions in the legislature indicate
that there has been desire to get eX-
cellent workers for all the places. The
desk positions will be well filled. Both
Ramsey and Waters have had expert
ence at the desk, and SO have Stamm
and Knapp. Good journal clerks have
been selected in each house. The
doorkeepers are worthy men, mostly
old soldiers. There has been complaint
of too many doorkeepers. AS mat
ter of fact there are eleven doors to
the senate chamber. An executive
session calls for a doorkeeper at near
ly every door.
The democrats of the house have
DR.. Steelsmith of Melvin, Osceola
county, as their caucus chairman.
There will be very little for demo-
cratic caucus to do.
Illustrating the fact that there was
pretty good feeling kept up all through
the speakership fight, when the men,
bers were voting Atkinson and Barry
walked down the aisle arm In arm to
put their ballots in the hat. ''l1l
trade ballots with you," said Big Bill.
"All right" said the editor. And so
Barry voted for Atkinson for speaker
and Atkinson voted for Barry In
view of the maintenance of good feel
ing there is little doubt that both
Barry and Brady will receive excellent
committee assignments. The speaker
could not afford to do otherwise.
When members took their desks this
morning they found everything clean
and fresh, and on each desk copies OF |
the journals of the last session, the
Red Book and other documents they
will need.
Every republican was present and
participated in the caucuses on Satur-
day. Not one was compelled to be
absent on account of illness.
