THE IOWA LEGISLATURE.
ICedar Falls Racnrd

F'actlonalism in it's worst form domt-
mated the session of the legislature
just ended. Every important bill was
handicapped by the necessity OF hav
ing lined up behind It one faction or
the other in order to gain recognition.
Thus practically every law enacted
has felt the influence Of the worst
forms Of reaction as we'll as the most
loyal enthusiasms.
The trouble started two years ago
when Representative Johnston, OF
Lucas county, got into concrete form
his peculiar views on roads. The fight
over the bill was bitter and the cam
paign two years later was influenced
by the echoes Of the battle. Misstate-
ments, threats Of bond issues. paved
highways. etc, were responsible in a
large measure for lining up consider
able farming element with the John
ston crowd. A nicely constructed ma
chine was built in which was found
elements Of various Of the mighty. The
speakership fight won by Pitt was a
sample Of the lengths the faction
would go in order to win. But Pitt was
Of too small caliber to win and get
away with it. He rewarded his hench-
men and punished his enemies SO Sc
verely that even his friends gasped
when the committee assignments were
read. At once q formidable organiZa :
ton was perfected to curtail his auto
cratic powers. His pet schemes wers
sidetracked and the deadlock on the
road bill broke down the machine In
good earnest. AS the session wore on
the machine was more completely de-
TIoiishsd and ii is doubtful il there II
enough adroitness in the Pitt camp to
repair the damage.
The session is notable for what wal
not done Reactionary measures OF al
kinds were advanced, but uniformly
rejected. Some progress was made In
road building laws. but the people are
vet prohibited from spending theil
money for permanent roads IL they
want to. The supervisors may antici.
pate the revenues and bond and thii
will doubtless be done In many coun.
