AFFECTING" SCENES
: At FAREWELL SPREAD
George Was Most Affected, Of
Course, When His Chair
Failed to Bear Up.

Anticipating the departure of
George r. volkmar (of let George
do it" fame), his associates on the
"Y" staff at &C" Hut, gave him
surprise last Friday night in the
form of "fare-the-well' affair.
Those directly responsible for the oc-
casion were c. B. Hustled. the cham
pion "prune picker" of the golden
west, and Rufus E. Holder, COM
monty known as DOC" who halls
from the rural village of Brooklyn
(hence the Rufus). In addition to the
above mentioned, there were present
Messrs. Duncan, Harbold, Lingle ana
Voorhees,. This group had no more
than assembled at the hut. when
Ringmaster Hustled blew his whistle
and the clan was directed to march
to a spot just back of the printers
shop, under the spreading chestnut
trees Cor some other kind of Army
cactus). Here they found a table
spread with a white cloth (taken
from some ones bed) and laden with
delicacies of the season. The guests
numbered sOVen-a perfect number
and the evening was more or less
perfect, save for the fact that as the
guest of the evening went to Sit
down he suddenly disappeared. due.
to some carefully worked-out camou-
fage underneath his chair. Then, too,
the orchestra-Locusts' Orchestra
insisted on playing the same selec-
ton throughout the entire evening.
Finally, when the group was safely
seated, it was learned there was a
double significance to the event, for
in addition to being a "fare-thee-
WELL" the evenings guest had to adj
NIT that "OId Father Time" had paid
him another visit and that it was his
birthday. Speeches of reminiscent.
prophetic and humorous character
added interest and life to this very
enjoyable occasion. A specialSspa
in the form of an original toast was
rendered by Hustled. as follows:
Here's to our comrade.
So handsome. young and gay.
We wish you the best Of luck
On your forty ninth birthday.

HEARD AT THE s1sTH PARADE


"Yee! Yeeeeeeh. Wooooooooooow"
the crowd yelled. while the ranks
swung on.
One battalion passed.
Another band.
There's a long long trail awinding
Into the land of my Dreams
More fighters. with more rifles and
more glittering bayonets. The crowd
couldn't help it. Such straight lines!
Such soldierly bearing! "Yeeh"' the
crowd yelled. N"Yeeeh! Yeeeeeeeeh"
Nothing in the matter of sound that
any man had in him was going to be
left when this was finished.
This probably happened all over the
city. An automobile drove up to the
curb to within about a block of the
parade route. A woman alighted. and.
after lifting out basket filled with
peonies and orange blossoms. held
out her hand to youngster on the
back seat. Come on" she said. "and
get out your little flag and wave to
brother"

"A LEGISLATURE LETTER

Des Moines, Jan. 26, 1919.-The
really biggest thing in connection
with the organization of the house
and senate of the Thirty-eighth Gen
eral Assembly occurred on Wednes-
day, Jan. %, when Speaker McFar-
ed their committee appointments in
their respective domains of legisla-
ton 1t is the biggest thing, be-
cause these committees handle pri-
marily all legislation that is passed
or reported to the two houses for
passage, and on their favorable or
unfavorable recommendation most
of the legislation depends.
The average citizen, pehaps, does
not understand just how much these
committees do, in legislative work
If possible to briefly explain, let us
try: For instance, the judiciary
committee in the house is composed
entirely of lawyers, and all lawyers
of the house are on that committee.
When bill for an act" is present
code, that bill will be ordered by
the speaker to the judiciary commit
| tee, as being the committee most
familiar with and intended to deal
with matters affecting state statutes.
The bill presented is handed to the
chairman of the committee and he
iogues it in his committee record
book-and there the bill rests,
sometimes Intentionally rests for
weeks. But finally this big commit
tee meets and the bill is brought out
for consideration around big table
where everybody on the committee
sits with books and papers and such
they begin to argue on the matter
before them. Sometimes they pur-
sue strict and parliame ntary tactics
in this committee meeting, but more
usually they talk over all phases of
it about the same as the home town
school board proceeds in their meet
ingss-everyb!ody taking i; hand santL
of dog fight or exchanging remarks
and cigars. But now and then some
member of the committee explodes
with vehemence against some phase
of the question, or calls somebody,
outside of the committee, a scoun-
drel and fake, and stirs up a little
excitement for minute. The chair
team back in line and pulling to-
gether, when somebody happily
makes motion that the bill be re-
ferred to subcommittee of three
or FIVE members for investigation
and report. And the matter is then
Forgotten OV the rest Oh tHe cOMM!I-
tee until this subcommittee reports.
And this subcommittee of the gener-
al committee gets at the meat in the
cocoanut, hears witnesses and argu-
ments if necessary, calls on officials
for information and generally real
ly works-or the subcommittee
chairman does. When the sub
committee is ready to report the big
committee has its attention called
to the bill again. and the report is
made by the subcommittee chair
mittee agree with him their report
is almost certain to 90 through and
be adopted by the big committee,
and with the whole committees re-
mort sustained by its members on
the floor Of the house or senate, It
r. wore than likely tn be sustained.

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1919-01-30

In the above brief outline is the
meat and secret of more legislation
than is started Or influenced by the
voters who cast their ballots at the
general election; The committees
and spout on the floor when bills
are under debate sometimes help
clarity the atmosphere by explaining
to other members certain points or
questions, but the fact that Senator
So, or Representative Not, spoke for
an hour most eloquently for or
got headlines in the daily press for
the time, but it did not have any
notable bearing or effect on the
passage of the bill.
Road Question Popped. =
Unexpectedly the road question
same can hd tumb1 ling onto the scenes in
biker OF Burlington, introduced his
for seventeen hard surfaced state
highways, nine up and down the
state and eight lengthwise. The
bill provides for road bond issues by
the state to the amount Of fifty
million dollars, and these dollars to
be paid back, principal and interest,
by raising the automobile license
and tax to meet the requirements.
The bill does not meet the views
of the road men in the two houses,
however, and it is said it will be
chloroformed by one or the other
highway committees and put out OF
the way of more carefully thought
out plan of permanent road develop
ment which is about ready to spring.
And Of this more later.
The retrenchment and reform
committee, which is permanent, rec
commended in their report Thursday
that the highway law be changed to
make auto license fees payable at
each county treasurer's office, where
they should be paid and numbers is
sued. The state department now
handling this business is incompe-
tent for the job. III
Bills Coming Fast.
Beginning on Tuesday when the
two houses reconvened after last
weeks vacation, "bills for4g acts
were offered. Only dozen got go
ing along the ways Tuesday, but
Wednesday more, and Thursday
showed up with total Of 100 bills
offered in both houses. The session
promises to develop contest for
the honor of rapid fire bill introduce
er, with several candidates in both
houses. G. L. CasWell.
