MANY Bills N
LEGISLATURE
Many War Bills and Others
Important Will Come up
Before Next Leg
\ islature.
SOME NEW ROAD LAWS
A Few of the More Import
ant Bills Are
I Listed.

Des 'Moines, Iowa, Dec. 2.-It would
take a seventh son of seventh son to
predict that even a small portion of the
bills that will be introduced in the
Thirty -eighth assembly, but the legisla-
tion along certain lines is assured.
There will be numerous war bills
Some will deal with memorials and
soldier relief Of one kind and another
others will be along reconstruction
lines.
The announcement of a propaganda
campaign by the Greater Iowa assOcia-
ton for real roads in Iowa indicates
that good roads will again be an issue
in the legislature.
The state council of defense, which
at one time promised to become an is
sue, has dropped into the background
with the signing Of the armi,tic,, hut
some legislation will doubtless be in
thered by this organization.
Some Salary Boosts.
The increase in the cost of living will
compel REIMBURSEMENT of the salaries
OF many state employees, but strong
demand for economy will make the as
sembly reluctant to allow any increase
in appropriations.
While the members Of the legislature
have not yet taken the public into their
confidence, it, can be safely assumed
that among the bills introduced will
be the following:
Some measure eliminating the
teaching of other than the English
language in grade schools.
A bin creating commission to
arrange for memorial building or
monument in honor Of Iowa sol
diers in the world war,
A bill naming November II as! !,
Victory Day." and an annual holt
u day.
@ An appropriation for Temple
Of Justice" or a new Office build
ing for the state.
A law giving boards Of supervis- Z
ors power to prohibit or regulate
bill boards in cities and on main
Travelled highways outside Of
towns
An amendment to the vocational
education law, extending its effect
and providing more liberal sup
port.
A bill to prohibit the taxation Of
insurance policies, the cash surren-
der value now being listed by some
assessors as taxable under person.
nj property.
A law Furnishing receivers of re-
bates on insurance premiums, as
well as the giver.
A bill to repal the amendments
to the consolidated school law,
enacted by the Thirty -seventh as
sembly.
An appropriation for the pur-
chase by the state of tracts on the
margin of lakes and rivers for
state parks for use of the public.
