Des Moines, March 24.-The printer
and binder fight is now scheduled 10
come off Tuesday. March -, at II
| o'clock. 1t was fixed as a special order
in the house on that date by action of
the house yesterday morning.
Speaker Pitt announced when the
Helming bill was introduced providing
for the adjustment for the state print
er and binder that the ext fight of his
forces would be on this issue. He said
it was an issue in the campaign last
fall and that not a few of those who
won out in the fall election were
pledged to abolish the state printer and
binder.
The Elwood- Mackie crowd and the
P~itt-Johnson crowd are lined up on
this printer and binder fight in much
the same fashion as on the Johnston
road bill. The EIwood crowd. however,
are claiming two more votes than in the
road fight. This will be enough. they
say. to put across a substitute TO the
Hellning bill, which win embody their
ideas IN the printing matter.
MiIIer.Stone Substitute.
The Elwood faction will support the
substitute to the Helming bill intro
duced yesterday by Representatives
| Miller. of Boone county. and Stone. OF
Sioux county. both of whom are pub
fishers. Helming, who fathered the ad-
ministration bill. is a farmer.
The Miller Stone substitute was in
troduced yesterday when the Heiming
hin 90 n on Sha Hnar nf +hn hr,tSp
iieimins requested that action ON tbs
matter be postponed and Representa-
tives Miller and Stone acquiesced. al
tho the latter claimed they had enough
votes at hand to carry their measure.
The Miller-Stone substitute would
abolish the state printer and binder
after the terms Of the present incum-
bents expire. The Helming bill would
abolish those offices as soon as the law
went into effect.
| The substitute Classics the printing
work in six divisions and provides fol-
a separate contract for each division
Circulars Pamphlets, small commercial
work.. supreme court work and engray-
ing would be open to competition for
all Iowa printers. Legislative printing
for the reason that it has to be done
quickly, would be open to Des Moines
concerns only. Publications such as the
Red Book and the code would be oper
to national competition. No such class
ifcations are made by the Helming bill
Maximum prices are fixed by the sub
stitute which would guard against any

De- Moines. March "a. After an
hour and a half's debate yesterday
afternoon the senate Of the Iowa lesis-
lature passed the Ball bill limiting the
amount Of Indebtedness which super
y;sors NAV incur for general and road
purposes 10 the current revenues for
the year. That IS the supervisors can
not contract for work which will cost
more than what their revenues Tor the
wear will amount 10 except in ease OF
emergency. and then this shall not eX-
coed $4,000 unless on vote Of the peo-
ME. When voted by the people the
proposition must carry both in the in
~eorporated cities and in the rural dis
tricts before Il can become 4 law.
The fight was without any factional
lineup. II carried by a vote OF 81 to
Il and was supported by the staunCh-
est fighters for the present highway
commission law as wei, as by senators
who have been lined up against the
highway commission.
HoIdoeeel Bill Killed.
The HoIdoegel bill, giving the high
way commission authority 70 modify
or reject all plans for a change Of
grade in a highway. which passed the
senate on Feb. l by a vote of - TO IS,
was reported out for indefinite post
ponement by the highways committee
Of the house today. This Law would
extend the present powers of the state
highway commission. II would give
them authority TO pass upon the work
of cutting and Milling or changes ot
grades. Senator Holdoegel in argu-
ing for his bill in the senate declared
that in some instances boards Of su-
pervisors had used their power IT
this respect. It is not known wheth-
err or not any fight will be made on
the committee report in the house.
With the death blow which the
Chase bill received in the house
Thursday it is recognized that the last
stand has been made in the present
legislature against the present high
way commission law. Chase's bill was
much like the Pitt-JohnstOn bill in
that 1t gave the administration of the
affairs Of the commission to a single
commissioner, located at Des Moines,
who would receive $4,000 per year. Il
provides for two other members of the
