Des Moines, March 1.-THE senate
of the Iowa legislature passed the
Arney bill Saturday authorizing own
ers of live stock which dies of disease
to dispose of it to rendering works
which have license issued by the
state animal health commission. The
measure is intended to make possible
sanitary disposition of animals which
die Of disease and do away with the
custom of allowing them to lie in the
fields and thus give opportunity to
dogs, crows and the like to spread the
disease.
Thirty-one bills in all were intro
duced in the senate Of the Iowa legis-
lature Saturday. Senator Arney
fathered an important measure to eX-
empt from the non alcoholic liquors
class all drinks which scontain less
than one-half Of one per cent Of al
cohol AS the law now is drinks which
contain any alcohol whatsoever are
barred from being offered for sale.
It is said that scarcely any OF the
we'll known soda fountain drinks are
entirely free from trace Of alcohol.
Senator Jackson. Of Floyd county,
introduced a bill Saturday to do away
with any special funds for county
moneys and to have only one fund
from which all disbursements might
be made His bill would limit the
total county levy for county purposes
to sixteen mills as is now the case.
Sitting committees will be appointed
by both the house and senate early this
week. This means that many bills in
troduced will not get past this COM
mittee fThe prediction is that the as
sembly will adjourn about April IA.
This will give a comparatively short
time in which to enact important legis-
lation.
Attempted road legislation has
blocked all other matters thus far in
the legislature in the opinion OF many
of the lawmakers. Hence the session
is considerably behind its usual
schedule In the matter Of laWmaking.
After taking care Of the appropriation
matters with reference to the state
colleges and state institutions many Of
the legislators will consider their work
accomplished and will encourage a
prompt adjournment.

It is probable the woman's suffrage
amendment and the teachers pension
bills will be acted on this week. There
is considered little likelihood that a
woman's suffrage bill can be passed.
A fight is expected early in the
week on the repeal of the capitol ,ex-
tension tax as provided for by Senator
Whitmore's bill. If this does not pre-
vail bills to erect either a temple Of
Justice or state office building will be
given consideration.
The bill to modify the blue laws
probably will fail Attorney General
Havner has announced that he will en-
force all laws on the statute books and
it Is expected he will enforce the Sun
day closing laws.
There is strong opposition to grant
ing Attorney General Havner SIS, 900
for law enforcement work. The at
torney general, however, will push this
measure 1t is still in the hands CT
the committees Only three appropria-
ton measures have been reported out
thus far One reduces the state fair
appropriation from 100000 as asked
for to $4,000. This was reported out
by the senate appropriations, COM
mittee.
A. NJ. Deyoe, superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, has received official
notice from the bureau Of education at
Washington that the Smith-Hushes
bill providing aid for vocational
schools has become a law and that
Iowa may begin receiving benefits
from the fund created in 1918.
The bill makes the following pro-
vision for Iowa for the next three
years:
For salaries OF teachers, super
visors, or directors OF agricultural
education, in 1918. $15,650; in 1919,
3475; in 1920. $4,000.
For salaries Of teachers, super
visors, or directors Of agricultural
education. in 1918, $15,650; in 1919,
$23475; in 1920. $4,000.
For salaries Of teachers of trade,
home economics and industrial sub
jects in 1918, $4,000; in 1919. $4,000;
in 1920 $4,000.
Tor training Of teachers Of voca~
tional subjects, in 1913. $4,000; in
1919. .s1G,940;> in 1920, $21,7so.
The total aid for 1918 is $35,750; for
1919 $53,415; for 1920. $4,000.
Bills providing for accepting state
aid, and for the establishment OF vo-
cational schools in Iowa have been
filed in the general assembly. Edy-
Gators are anxious that these bills be
passed by the Thirty-seventh general
assembly in order that this state may
make a start in this direction. One OF
the requirements of the federal gov
eminent for the accepting Of state aid
is that q state board OF not less than
three members be created to CO.
operate with the federal board for
vocational education.
The federal appropriations are con-
ditioned that the state or local COM
munity, or both, shall expend an equal
amount
