Des Moines, Jan. 1S.-One Of the
fights which promises to be precipi-
tated early in the Iowa legislature is
that directed against the fire rating
law. Bills have already Introduced in
both the house and the sepate to re-
peal the law and there seems to be
considerable feeling against the law
Many of the members OF the legis-
lature have personally had the ex-
perience of having their insurance
rates raised on them and the law
therefore looks to them like chance
for the insurance companies to com
hine and raise rates. Even some Of
the farmer members, who as rule in
sure more heavily in mutual COM
panies. have had their rates raised by
old line companies on comparatively
small policies.
Il had my fire insurance rates on
two policies of 1850 each increased
under this law said one of the new
farmer members of the house yester-
day in discussing this fire rating meas
ure. 1T would seem to me that II the
law does what is claimed for 1t that it
would lower a rate on as small a policy
as a fifteen hundred dollar policy in
stead of raise il. The general claim
for the law is that 1t lowers the rate of
the small insurers because it equahzes
all rates and the man with consider
able property to insure gets no favors.
But / am small insurer and my
rates are raised.
THE only letter l have received
thus far from any OF my constituents
is from merchant in my county seat
town His rates have been raised
materially by the law. came here
with an open mind on this question but
it looks TO me as though rates had
been raised under this law instead OF
eaualiZed."

Senator Lyle. of Woodbury. county.
who introduced the measure into the
senate to repeal the bill. brought with
him a number of resolutions adopted
by organizations in his home town and
county against the bill. Among them
are resolutions adopted by union
organizations Of Sioux City in which
union members claim they have to pay
fully SO per cent more for their In
surance now than before the bill, was
pa ssed.
The fundamental objection to the
law declared Senator Ly;le." is that
in the first place 1t obliges all COM
panies in the state to join rating
bureaus for the purpose OF fixing rates

SOCIETY'S HELP ENTERTAINING
 FAIR VISITORS

With her plans carefully arranged Phoenix is ready to play her favorite role of hostess to visitors from all over the land. Her guest list this season Is larger than ever before and the ac- ceptances are in equal proportion. It IS said that no past fair has ever at tracted as large a gathering for there never has been as great an incentive. The exhibits, races, special features all the offerings in fact-far surpass those of former years.
 But the responsibility for the enter tainment of the visitors does not lie entirely with the fair management and society will do its part in luncheons, dinners and rances.
 Among the important events on the calendar for the gay and festive week is the Junior Guild play, Girls to be presented at the Woman's club We'd nesday evening under the personal di- rection of Ed Redmond. The clever little comedy has been rehearsed until the cast is letter perfect and with ar tistlo stage settings and other dAails worked out with the same fine care always given by MT.

surprised by the sudden outbreak of
the war; she was therefore not pre-
pared to manifest her opposition to
Vienna by revolution;' but she mani
tested her feelings and thoughts
strongly enough the pamphlet
states. The Bohemians did not favor
the war loan, and it is known that
Bohemian public opinion is con-
stantly in conflict with the author
tiles, expressing sympathy with the
Allies 1t is further known that many
Bohemian regiments only went to the
front under compulsion, and that
they showed their antipathy to the
war by frequent demonstrations, by
declining to fight, and by frequent
surrenders. There is documentary
evidence that the Austrian General
issimo fears this attitude of the Be-
hemian troops and civil population
as a serious weakening of the Austro-
Hungarian Army.
"All of the Bohemian colonies
abroad, especially those in England,
France, Switzerland, and the United
States, not being under the pressure
of Austria, have repeatedly mani
tested the true feeling of the nation,
proclaiming the necessity to restore
the political independence of Bo-
hemia."

couraged by the attitude of President
Wilson and the Allies as expressed in
recent tpeace notes. and addresses to
look for strong support for their pro-
ject when the war is over. Members
Of one of these organizatins, the Be-
hemian National Alliance, are send
ing numerous kilograms to President
Wilson and members of the Senate
as well as cable messages abroad,
urging that all influence be brought
to bear to make freedom of Bohemia
one of the terms of peace. Yester-
day the freedom of Bohemia was
talked of as one of the possible
American peace terms in the event
of war between the United States and
Germany.
A pamphlet which is being c1rcu-
lated among RohemianS in America
at the present time sets forth what
/ it terms "the program for the re-
organization Of Bohemia as an indie
pendent state. It states that the Bo-
hemians have no sympathy for Aus
tria, and have sided with Russia,
Serbia and the Allies to as great an
extent as has been possible, while
nominally a part of the Austro-Hun-
garian government.
Bohemia, as we'll as the major
ity of the belligerent nations, was
