state fair grounds. Of this amount
$4,000 will be required in the pur
chase of the land and $1,000 for i'm
proving it. If this bill passes this
lgrouId will be used in making it pos
sible to take care of the crowds who
|come to the fair in automobiles. AT
1.-The last fair after night it took two
lhours to untangle the congested condi'
ttion and numerous accidents were
barely averted. This condition is
growing more serious every year and
1.-The need of more ground is imperative
Senator Arney has also introduced
a bill asking for $150,000 for modern
lcattle barns. The cattle on exhibition
last season numbered 1900 and were
valued at million and a quarter dol
liars vet nearly all of his valuable ex.
Ihibit was packed into cheap frame
barns and some of it under tents. OF
the % barns used only three are OF
Ibrick. The sanitation is bad and un.
less better facilities are provided the
|display of cattle, the largest OF any
flair in the country, will be seriously
ldiscounted in the future as numerous
lbig exhibitors have stated that they
will not exhibit again while conditions
Iare like they have been in the past
Iowa ranks second among the states OF
1.-The union in the value of beef cattle
land third in the extent of it's dairy
herds.
Ito Eradicate tuberculosis in Hogs and
| Cattle.
Eradication of tuberculosis in cattle
and hogs is asked in bill by Sen
ator Brakeman of Sioux county. An
appropriation of $4,000 is provided to
|be used in examining herds and in in
Identifying owners for condemned cat
tile.
The bill provides for levying an an.
|nual fee of &c head on cattle and
|2c a head on hogs. This would be put
Into the tuberculosis fund and when
S50,OO0 is realized the state would be
reimbursed for its appropriation.
A Greeting for Returned Soldiers.
l. 1T is thought altogether probable
that the Ratcliff bill appropriating
$50, 900 to enable members of the 16Sth
regiment who have been invalided
home to take part IN receptions, re-
views and parades TO be put on In the
least when the regiment COMES home
will be one of the first measures taken
|up when the Legislature reconvenes
The predictions are also that the meas
ure will pass.
The bill names a commission OF
three, including Adjutant General
Lasher w. S. Riley of Red Oak, and
Ellyson Green, of Winterset, to take
1 charge of the matter and of the fund
and whatever is not used is to be
turned back to the state treasury.
Chiropractors are Busy. s.
As was the case two years ago the
Estate organizatioR.Sof chiropractors
have legislative committee constant
lily on duty. The object is to have a
hill passed giving state recognition to
this cult and thus giving it legal
standing among curative agencies
Some very earnest testimony has been
submitted both by the choross and by
1.-THE medical profession, which Is op
lpossing it. Prominent physicians In
their evidence before the committee
lclaimed not to- be opposed to any sys
tenn of practice if those commissioned
for the service to be rendered are
uualified. The pending bill does MOI
|reouire that the practioneer shall be
able to even read or write. No edu
lcational or intellectual preparation
whatsoever is required. The physicians
contend that chiropractors should take
a course in anatomy, know at least the
rudiments of therapeutics and have
educational qualifications that would
at least indicate an average degree OF
Intelligence. The bill which passed
1.-The senate was found afterwards to be
full of holes" and so it was brought
back for another hearing. The vote
i on its adoption in the senate was ~
to Is.
