THE GOVERNOR AND THE AS
SEMBLY.

The governor has sent out a ques-
tionnaire, so reports from Des MOines
states, upon which the question Of q
special session or no session at all OF
the legislature is limited to depend.
TIE asSemblym 1eFra;n are Front to al pledge eais
f atan exeep to Mar @
l refuse t the pledge. Their answers,
s.it is ALLEGED" will decide the matter
of whether or not. Unless they

called according to gossip at the cap

sweat gut it's whX life s a%ay just Why Should
no important business be attended to
outside of the limited schedule de-
sired by the governor? And when
did the assembly of the state OF Iowa
become so dangerous in session that
it must be tied with the two proven
devil?' And is it necessary that
the governor rope and hogtie under
pledge the representatives of the
people of Iowa, most of whom hold
honorable station at home and have
repute abroad as ordinarily respect
able, patriotic and sane persons!
Congress did turn over pictorial
powers to the president, put IT IS
not of record that Iowa did so much
for the governor. And sly as we
keep it there is wide and distinct
dierence between Woodrow Wilson
and w. l.. Harding.
Perhaps there is no necessity of
calling the legislature in special SEES
sion; but if so there is surely no
good reason to begin by minimizing
the ordinary common sense and ev-
ery day patriotism of the state legis-
lature. The assembly Of Iowa is not
a herd.
lature might take a half day and
ratify the congressional prOhlblt0fy
amendment. It might do so and
then it might not Anyway the leg.
islature deserves the confidence OIL
the people on this question quite as
much as the executive.
Governor Hardhg's next friend or
last fall, Jim Pierce, hints that the
expenditures of the million dollar
war fund should be gone over. II
such action is needed as Pierce avers,
