Special to Times Republican,.
Des Moines, Feb. %. Further OPP
position to the building of a temple
Of Justice or an office building on the
capitol extension ground developed in
the senate ways and means committee
yesterday, when Senators Price, OF
Monroe, and Whitmore, OF Wapello
resigned from the subcommittee on
securing plans for such building
Both gave as their reasons for resign
ing that they favored the repeal o:
the capitol eNtnesion tax and therefore
could not consistently serve on such
q committee.
Whitmore's bill to repeal the capitol
extension tax for the remaining five
years it is yet to run was voted GU,
for indefinite postponement by the
senate ways and means committee bu,
tEis report was defeated by vote OF
tho senate. This places the bill on the
calendar. A motion to reconsider this
vote was filed however and under this
motion the bill may be called up at
any time.
Senator kimball of Pottawattamic
county, chairman Of the ways and
means committee. was named by the
committee to take Senator Whitmores
place on the subcommittee TO look
after plans for the proposed building.
Senator kimball Is strong for temple
OF Justice and may introduce a bill to
provide an appropriation for this
specific purpose if the capitol extern
sion levy repeal bill is passed.
A number Of senators who voted to
put the capitol extension repeal bill on
the calendar declare they will support
measure to provide a separate APP
preparation for d special building but
they are opposed to allowing the capt.
tol extension tax to continue for five
years at the date of $4,000 per year.
The original capitol extension meas
ule as passed by the Thirty fifth gem
eral assembly provided for the as
sessment of this tax to be used for
buildings and contemplates both an
office building and such other build
ings as were necessary.
Senator Grout, Of Black Hawk coun-
ty, introduced two measures to protect
game in Iowa in the senate Of the
Iowa legislature yesterday. One OF
them would prevent the use Of ferrets
in hunting rabbits The other would
Protect prairie chickens for q period
of five years.
The senate yesterday afternoon
passed the bill by Senator Parker pro-
viding for restricting stores from resi-
dence districts where 80 per cent OF
the property owners petition the coun-
Gil against the establishment of stores
This bill was originally drawn to ap-
ply to Des Moines but was so popular
with smaller cities that it was
amended to include the smaller cities
and towns Of the state or all incor-
porated cities.
The fate Of the Iowa board Of pa
role will be decided by the legislature
as a result Of a bill reported out of
the house judiciary committee with
the recommendation that 1t be placed
upon the calendar. The bill. by Rogers
Of Carroll county, provides that the
board Of parole shall be abolished,
and its duties taken over by the board
of control. The judiciary committee
decided to make no recommendation,
but the dominant faction in the house
Is understood to be sharpening knives
with the parole board not an impossi-
Bile object Of attack.
Compulsory military training for all
men in Iowa for a period of from six
months to one year when they reaci,
the age of 81 will be provided in bill
Representative Anderson, Of Davis.
says he will introduce in the house
Of the Iowa legislature.
Anderson has secured postponement
Of action by the house committee on
military affairs on any measure to es-
tablish military training in the schools
until his bill can be presented for con-
sideration. Representative Shaft, OF
Clinton, chairman of the committee,
was to have appointed a sub-commit
tee to consider training measure,
this week.
II believe In universal military
training" declared Representative An
derson. II believe Iowa should set the
example for all states and adopt some
form of military training for her citi-
zens. The system followed in Swift
zerland believe should be followed.
"W'hen1rour boys leave school, say at
the ages Of IS or Fl years. they should
be required to spend anywhere from,
six months to one year in state camps
to learn the essentials Of military SER
vice. Make 1t a part Of their youth
work-just like attending school and
getting an education. After they had
received this training, they would take
up their individual avocatlons In civil
life Then we would have citlzenry
ready to answer q call to arms should
arms ever be necessary. It would not
disturb the course Of the lives Of our
young men to take this six months or
one year Of training. 1t would be A
benefit to them and not irksome like
the military training Of other nations"
