Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 16.-Friends Of
the state highway commission will OPP
pose the Chase bill introduced IN the
senate Of the Iowa legislature yester-
day by Senator Chase, of Hamilton
county. They declare that it means a
one man commission althO it's provi-
sions create q commission Of three.
Members Of the Elwood crowd, who
fought the Pitt-Johnson bill so sue
cessfully An the house last week say
the Chase bill is not unlike the Rogers
amendment. True its provisions do
not take away any of the powers from
the present commission now lodged
with it, the Elwood men point out, but
there would be only one salaried man
on the commission and they believe he
would be largely able to control the
work Of the body
Senator Chase's bill is short and
does not contain ESQ words. 1t repeals
sections l527-s and 1927 ST. Of the or
iginal law. Section 1527-s specifies
that the commission shall consist OF
three members one Of whom shall tbe
the dean Of engineering at Ames the
two others appointed by the governor
specifying that their office shall be at
Ames and that the attorney genera.
shall serve as counsel for the commits
sion.
Section 1927 ST. specifies that the two
sappointive commissioners shall receive
a per. diem of $40 per day for the days
employed on commission work but that
the compensation in any one year can
sioner. The dean Of engineering at
Ames receives nothing for his service
on the highway commission.
Removes Office.
Senator Chase's bill removes the Of
flee of the highway commission from
Ames to Des tMoines. One member OF
the comMisston, who would be appoint
ed by the governor and confirmed by
the senate. would receive a salary OF
$4,000 per year He must be an sengt-
neer Of at least six years experience.
The other two members Of the commits
sion would be the deans of the two
state engineering schools, located at
Ames and at Iowa City.
s. Whether or not the house would line
up as strongly on the Chase bill as on
the Pitt-Johnston bill is question. II
is predicted that the; senate will never
pass the Chase bill 1t Is possible It
can not pass the house. y u
Friends Of the Chase bill will argue
for it that it does not take away from
the present law any Of the powers
granted 10 the commission. Opponents
