TRYING 70 CURB KING.
Norwegian Parliament. Rsnews Effort
to curtaiI Prsrogatives Of Ruler.

! Norwegian Parliament Rsnews Efforts
to curtail Prero0atives OF Ruler.
| Correspondence Of Associated Press)
Christiana, May 1.-The socialist and
radical members of the Norwegian par
| lament are making renewed attempt
to reduce the prerogatives Of King
Haakon. Bills to take away from the
king the privilege of comforting decor
atoms, the right to attend the opening
session of parliament and to alter the
laws Of succession to the throne-some
OF which were defeated three years ago
are to be pressed again.
After the union between Norway and
| Sweden had been dissolved in 1905 the
country voted upon the question OF
adopting a monarchtal or republican
form Of government. Norway had been
monarchy for thousand years and
10 per cent OF the people voted to con-
tinue that system. When Prince
Charles of Denmark accepted the call
of the nation to become Its king most
| of the people shared with him the sup
position that he could be assured OF
reigning and working on the condf-
tons guaranteed by the constitution.
Very soon, however. the socialist and
radical politicians began to attempt to
restrict the kings prerogatives. After
they obtained control Of parliament In
1912 several bills were debated and
voted on, but failed to secure the
necessary two-thirds majority. The
king has the right to bestow the
Royal Order of st. Olav upon natives
and foreigners as decoration OF
honor and this has been a personal
right Of the king which did not concern
the cabinet or parliament. Proposals
to take away that right and to prevent
the king from attending parliament
were defeated.
Bills have now again been presented
to abolish the order OF st. O1av, and TO
forbid citizens from accepting decora-
lions, also to forbid the king from at
tending the opening and closing Of par
lament Another measure proposes to
take from the throne the prerogative
which he holds as head of the Norweg-
ian church OF appointing priests.
bishops and other church functionar-
les. Even more sweeping than these
bills is one dealing with the succession.
If the king should die without an heir,
under the constitution parliament
would elect his successor. This pro-
vides that under such circumstances
parliament shall decide whether Nor
way is to continue to be a monarchy.
Another would make amendments to

coNcREeATIonALs FOR PEACE.
Committee on international Relations
Opposed to Armaments.

STSSSSS
Des Moines, May. 19.-Adoption by
the Iowa Congregationalists of reso-
lutions strongly condemning militarism
and declaring for disarmament was
recommended in the report yesterday
afternoon of the committee on interna-
tional peace to the conference of dele
gates.
Your committee believes that MOTH
ing is more perfectly demonstrated in
recent history than that increased
ornaments and preparedness for war
not only can not provide national Sc
curity, but naturally and inevitably lead
to war. I'VE therefore offer and urge
for your adoption the following:
Resolved, That as a conference
we protest against any increase in
time Of peace of our army or navy,
or any additional appropriations by
congress for their maintenance; we
deprecate the disposition, fostered by
the Army and Navy Club. by war
munitions manufacturers and yellow
journals, to develop militarism in this
country which is subversive Of denloc-
racy at home, threatening to peaceful
relations with sister nations and pre-
judicial to our influence as the peace
maker of the world
I'VE further recommend that notice
of the action Of this conference in re-
lation to these matters be sent, prop
erly- authenticated, to the president
and secretary Of state of the United
States, and to each Fof the senators and
representatives inteongress from Iowa"
The resolution recommended was not
acted upon yesterday. It will be taken
up Thursday, after the delegates have
heard DR.. Gulicks address Of Wednes-
day night on international peace. 1t is
evident that SOME strong declaration
for peace will be made by the confer
ence. ~

Des Moines, May 19.-Charles M. De-

tary Of the national association for the

that will give the state health authori-

vania has long been foremost in state

are doing the same thing. Iowa has in
the past nine years done u wonderful
work by and thru state support of the
department at the head of which is
Dr.. Kepford. But still the major part
of the work is being done thru private
associations.
AS a native Of Iowa Mr.. DeForest
said he could not help feeling disap-
pointed over the fact that, as indicated
by sale of the Red Cross seals, this
state Is far behind others. For in
stance, Illinois and Wisconsin have
both been contributing far more than
Iowa to this cause. The national asso-
citation is supported by voluntary dona

acentage. Of the Red Cross sea. proceeds

Can. a county fair association get
state aid for fair twice in one year
by holding two separate fairs?
That Is the latest question to come
before the department Of gariculture.
In Allamakee county 1t is planned to
hold two fairs-one in August and one
in October, at Waukon. The limit Of
state aid is $500, for any one current
year. 1t will probably be found that
in computing the premium paid as a
basis for the state aid the premiums
paid at both fairs may be taken to-
gether.
But the idea Of having two fairs each
year at one place is novel. and the ex-

interest.
| The supreme court this week decided
that cities and towns may not, by or
dinance. provide for or require thai
planks be laid over bridges and cul-
verts before the passage of traction
engines. The reason assigned was
that the state having undertaken to
fully regulate traffic on the highways
the municipal corporations can not also
undertake the same thing.
But while this ruling as to traction
engines interests certain number o!
persons but Is not OF general i'm
portance. the application Of the same
theory to the matter Of regulation OF
automobile traffic is Of statewide In
terest. It Is pointed out that following
the same rule no city or town can en-
act an enforcible ordinance to desis-
nate where automobiles may stand or
how long they may stand on a street
or how they shall be located when LETT
standing, etc. The state law specifical-
ly provides what a city may do as 10
limiting speed, but is silent as to con-
ferring any other powers on a city or
town.
1t is believed that the ruling in the
traction engine case will lead to q
ruling that cities must leave the auto
mobile traffic to state regulation mas
much as the state has exercised Its
power Of regulation to the limit.
The state officials are very well
pleased with the harmonious manner
In which members of the city council
have met them and agreed as to what
shall be done as to streets and alleys
in the capitol extension tract this
year. Work will be commenced on an
extensive scale very soon by the city
and state, changing streets, CLOSING
some of them, opening new streets TO
conform to the plan of the commits
sion and in making new routes for the
cars Probably more show will be
made the coming summer in the mat
ter of improvement than in all the two
years past. The boulevard which is
to swing around the soldiers monu-
ment to the south and give Walnut
street better grade thru the tract Will
be graded by the city and street car
track will go over the same making a
shorter route to the fair grounds and
eastern part of the city.
The governor and some other state
officials will go to San Francisco and
participate in official exercises at the
Iowa building at the exposition June
25. The governor probably will be gone
two or three weeks on the trip.
The state department Of education
has corps Of readers at work on the
examination papers from the various
counties The amount Of business is
not large. 1t is at the June examin-
atoms that an immense business is
done and a hundred different readers
are needed to take care of the work.
