DES MONIES, Nov 1S--Political
interest in Iowa, now that the big
election is over will center in the
coming session of the legislature to
convene on the second Monday in
January. The big task confronting
the legislature is code revision.
Whether it will be possible to revise
the code and also take care of the
new legislation which will come be-

1t was the intention Of the thirty
eighth general assembly when it pass
ed the code revision law that the
work be done at special session.
Governor Harding, however, refused
to call a special session so that the
work of revision is now confronting
the newly elected legislature.

The code commission, appointed by
