act providing federal aid for vocation
al schools, State Superintendent A. M
Deyoe secured the Introduction of two
bills into both branches of the Iowa
Legislature which would create the nee
essary machinery to per NIT Iowa tc
come under the act. One of the bills
provides for the acceptance of federal
aid. The other creates a state board
of vocational training and appropri
ates $4,000 for the first year and $45,
900 for the second year, to take care
Of the work. Senator Fleck introduced
the first measure in the senate and
Senator Taylor the second. In the
house the bills were introduced by
Representative Horchem of Dubuque
and Findlay of Fort Dodge and by
Representatives Weaver of Polk and
Klaus of Delaware.
! Milk Cans Misused.
| Ever since Iowa became dry the au-
thorities in border towns have had a
hard time trying to keep out booze.
One of the most convenient receptacles
for smuggling liquor is harmless
looking milk can. Council Bluffs has
been greatly afflicted because of the
booze interests in Omaha. Senator
Kimball introduced in the senate and
Neff in the house bill to require the
stamping of the owners name upon all
milk receptacles, such as cans and
bottles and to make the use of any OF
these by any other person crime. The
bill also forbids the use of bottles
and cans for the conveyance or dis
tribution of any other commodity than
milk. 1t seems that gasoline and kero-
sene have been shipped in milk cans
under the guise of milk that lower
freight rate may be obtained. The
bill makes it crime for one dairy to
use the equipment of another. This is
intended to protect dairies that deliver
certified milk. Under the provisions
of the bill it will be a crime to use
milk bottles for vinegar, syrup or any
thing but milk or cream from the deal
er whose name is upon the bottle.
Resolution censurine U. S. Senator'S.
Rayburn of Poweshiek introduced
in the house a concurrent resolution
condemning the alleged filibustering
| of Senators Kenyon and Cummins in
the closing hours of congress, thereby
Withholding from President Wilson au-
|thority to arm neutral vessels that the
life and property of American clti-
zens might be protected upon the sea.
Among other things the resolution
"repudiates the act in imposing the
rule of the minority upon the senate
as wholly unauthorized by any constd-
cradle sentiment of the people OF
Iowa" The resolution went over un-
It'll the next dssy under the rules and
| was then called up by Santee OF
Black Hawk and by unanimous vote 1t
was stricken from the records. There
was considerable sentiment in favor
of the resolution in both houses but
it was deemed too sweeping in it's
Christening.
Amendment Election October IS.
Senator Wilson's bill providing for
a special election to be held October
18th of this year for the adoption or
rejection of the prohibitory constitu-
tional amendment passed the senate
and it now goes to the house for ap-
proval. The vote was 35 to 13.
Highway Patrol Measure Passes
the Senate.
Senator Fosters road patrol bill,
providing for the appointment by the
boards of supervisors OF men to give
all of their time to keeping up the
roads, passed the senate with but one
dissenting vote. The road patrolman
must give all of his time to the work
| from the beginning of the road work
| ing season in the spring until it's close
| in the fall. He must see that the
roads are dragged after each rain. He
must have all repairs made promptly
and all distractions to the free drain
age of the roads and creeks removed.
After strenuous debate the house
passed the bulk sales law by vote OF
| OF to 80. By provisions OF the meas
ure, a retail merchant who expects to
mortgage or sell any part of his stock,
must give all creditors ten days no.
tice of his intention and designate
goods to be disposed of. When a per-
son buys the business of another the
new owner must give similar notice.
Women Are Active.
The threat to sell the grounds now
in process of improvement at Rockwell
City, for reformatory for women has
aroused all of the various womens or
ganizations in the state and they are
protesting vigorously against the prop
osition. The bill providing for the
sale is in the interest of the reforma-
tory at AnamOsa and was introduced
by the senator and representative from
that district.
Repeal OF Tipping Law. Defeated.
The house refused to concur with
the senate as to the Caswell bill to
repeal the law making tipping crime.
The measure reached the house Thurs
day and was voted down. 1t is still
crime to tip, but nobody pays any
attention to the restriction. Even
President Wilson gave the Irish girl
at the Chamberlain hotel who served
himself and wife with dinner in a pri-
vate room five dollar, tip.
The SoIdiersi iMbfAfnent.
The capitol extension plans provided
for the removal of the soldiers mon
ument to a point directly east of the
state house. Old soldiers are opposed
to this. Representative Crozier of
Marion county, the only old slider In
the legislature, has introduced a bill
in the house, and Geo. w. Ball OF
the Van Buren-Jefferson district, has
introduced bill in the senate to keep
it on it's present location. 1t is esti-
mated that it would cost $4,000 to re-
