real preparedness without graft" e"
This was the statement Of Repre-
sentative Good in reference to certain
important amendments to the house
army bill which he will propose today
or as soon as opportunity offers.
One Of these amendments Is for a
government powder factory in the in
terror Of the country. Others Of still
more Importance are intended to make
it possible for the government quickly
to mobilize the resources of manufac-
turing concerns all over the country in
the event Of war, and even to take
over factories II they insist on trying to
hold up the government.
Powerful support is expected for
these amendments. -. -aa -
Mr.. Good believes that II war should
come the government should be pre-
pared to utilize dts resources and IN
this, he holds, it would be, well to pat"
tern after the nations which have been
successful in working out preparedness
plans in which the interest of the pub
lie and not the huge profits OF private
concerns Is the controlling factor. -
, Would List Munition Plants.
One amendment of Mr.. Goods pro-
vides for a complete listing by the
government of all privately owned
plants equipped to make arms or mu-
'nitions listing the kind Of war ma
terial these plants make and the listing
of other plants that can be transformed
into munitions factories; plans sor
their Transformation are to be pre-
pared by the secretary of war.
Another amendment is still more far
reaching. 1t provides that If any in
Gividual or concern operating an arms
or munitions plant or any plant which
in the opinion Of the secretary Of wal
can be transformed into a munitions
plant refuses to furnish the material in
question to the government on reason
able terms to be decided by the secre-
tary of war, or to give the United
States preference, the president may
take possession of such plant or MAJ
terial. .f. 'C.sy
This is to be done or "just" terms
Could Prepare Speedily.
Mr.. Good holds that thru such leg
sislation 1.-THE government would be en-.
'abled to- prepare speedily In event OF

Dss Moines. March 21.--The state In
surance department today issued q
statement to the effect that fraternal
beneficiary societies are not authorized
under the law to loan money on poll
cles. The statement follows:
1T has come to the attention OF the
department that articles of incorpora-
ton or bylaws OF some fraternal benz
eficiary societies authorized to transact
an insurance business In Iowa provide
for loan values upon certificates or
policies issued. This Is clearly without
authority of law. as under the provis-
ions Of section 1891 of the code OF
Iowa, setting forth forms of investment
Of any funds held In trust by fraternal
beneficiary societies for the purpose OF
fulfillment of certificates or contracts,
no provision is included for investment
In policy loans. n'
TT il therefore held by this depart
ment that any such loans negotiated
upon certificates or policy contracts
are without authority of law and can
not be accepted by this department as
a security for deposit representing any
portion of the reserve or accumulated
/, funds of q fraternal beneficiary society.
1t is further held that any society
having provision in it's certificates or
policy contracts or bylaws permitting
or authorizing such forms Of investment
O, its funds. shall. at the first special
or regular meeting Of the grand or gu
preme body of said organization comply
with the provision of said statute by
