Des Moines, March 26. - Sub-com-
mittees from both the house and SEN
ate are expected to report out prompt
ly on Governor Harding's recon-
mendation that a war fund of at least
a half million dollars be authorized TO
be used II war comes. Committees
were also appointed by both houses to
consider the question of taking a CEN
sus of men available for service IN
case war is called and also of the fac
tories which might be used for max
ing war supplies.
Senator H. +. Foskett, Of Page u
ty, chairman of the senate a%ppropria-
tons committee, appointed the follow
ing members on these committees:
To consider the appropriation Of 4
half million dollar war fund, Senators
Radcliffe, Flick and Holdoegel.
To consider the military service and
factory census feature, Senators Eel
lows, Schrup and Kingland.
Representative Robert Johnston,
chairman Of the house appropriations
committee, named the following:
To consider the war fund appropria-
ton, Representatives Klaus, Peters
and Lake.
To consider the bill for the military
census and industrial survey. Repre-
sentatives Anderson, Shaft and Worm
ley.
1t has been suggested that Instead of
levying a tax for a war fund, bonds
be issued and thus spread over a long
period Of years.
The census of men and the Informal
ton as to factories will not cost much.
The census information is now largely
at hand in the material collected for
the census of 1915.
The wal fund appropriation for the
raising and equipping of any army and
providing for Iowa's share in the war
if it comes, will Of course only become
available in case war is declared.

BIG BUS BARN BURNS
Turner q crippen Building at Iowa
Falls Destroyed by Fire - Three
Horses Perish in Fiames-Twsnty-
Three Valuable Animals Removed.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa Falls, March ga fire here
about 2 o'clock Sunday morning seri-
ously damaged the bus barn of the
Turner & Crippen Company. Incorpo-
rated, and burned three head of horseY
When the fire broke out itwenty- six
head of valuable horses We're in the
barn, but the attendant who was
sleeping in the barn succeeded In get
ting out all but three. OF these, one
was a stallion valued at about $500
and two colts. The stock In the barn
at the time Of the fire consisted OF
valuable stations and mares that were
sold at the Pemberton horse sale or
Saturday. The horses were to have
been shipped Saturday but inability to
get cars forced some of the buyers to
hold the stock here. But for the quick
action of the attendant the loss on live
stock would have been very heavy.
The barn was badly damaged, but the
loss will be covered by insurance and
the owners stated today the structure
would be rebuilt this spring.
About two years & this barn was
buuly uctkltSNu ny u IN
head of horses. besides busses and 9TH
err vehicles were destroyed. The barn
and equipment was then owned by/~M.
Hogan. now Of M~arshalltown, who sus-
tanned a heavy loss in the first fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown but
there Is a strong suspicion on the
part of the authorities that 1t was an
act of incendiarism. A very careful in
ve~stigation Is being made in hopes OF
securing some evidence to convict the
incendiary.
The Turner & Crippen Company
sustained a small loss on some equip
ment stored in the barn at the time
Of the fire. The excellent work of
the department inc the act there was
no wind at the time. doubtless saved
the abandoned light plant OF the Com
monweaith company, which is adjacent
to the barn. The loss on the horses
burned will fall o >the buyers who are
non-residents. Had the fire oc-
Cured before the sale the loss might
have been much heavier as more stock
and some of higher value was housed
in the barn preparatory to the sale
and the loss. in such an event, would
have fallen on Mr.. Pemberton.

Eand the bill he proposes are prepared
nesg measures. The governor has been
giving considerable study Of what will
be expected OF this state IL war comes.
Ills message OF Saturday IS the result
Of this study,
In his message the governor said:
"Gentlenen of theh ouse and senate:
Permit mestp call to your attention one
or two matters OF grave Importance
that In my Judgment ought to have
your early consideration.
Our foreign relations are such that
1t seems something of a definite and
positive nature ought to be, done, look
ing to an accurate census of the men
available for military duty and a Sc
cret inventory of the materials within
our commonwealth that may be used
for defense or aggressive warfare as
the case may be.
II am firm in the opinion that the
people without our borders, and the
nation. feel that we have delayed too
long the matter of adequate prepara-
ton. We ought to have at our COM
mand ready for use information of the
amount of food supplies. materials for
manufacturing war equipment, the To-
cation of factories for use that can be
altered for the purpose Of manufac-
turing needed supplies and all other
information that is vital. This infor-
nation Is needed by our W state and
by the war department. Some of the
eastern states have already started on
a similar census. / am sure that our
l1prnfipn far from, flp nnccihln Goa ( of
hostilities, will not deaden us to the
danger that confronts, our common
country, nor viii 1t lessen our ac-
t~ivities for real preparation.
II know argument flor the necessity
of such a census is not necessary with
this body at this time. l therefore
submit for your patriotic consideration
this question and for your informa-
ton herewith attached a bill similar to
enc passed in other states.
IN all probabilities our
wealth will be called upon by the fed
eral government to raise and equip an
army. Preparations should be made by
this legislature for such an emergency
by the appropriation of money to be
used only in case the call comes. I
therefore suggest that before you adj
journ provision be made for the rails
ing of at least half a million dollars
and perhaps it ought to be more to be
used by the proper authorities so that
Iowa may do her share in maintaining
the rights of a free people.
II am sure hat the gravity Of the
present situation has impressed itself
upon your minds as it has upon mine.
/ am sure you feel as I do that the
stalwart manhood Of Iowa is ready to
respond to the call Of the colors. This
being true, the graver duty falls upon
Us who are here, clothed with author
ity, to see that every possible step be
taken to make this sacrifice which
these men are so willing to make as
easy as possible.
II therefore submit these two prop
ositions, knowing you will deal with
them in the broad spirit of true Amer
leans.
