> ya;nst the hill there was no united

against the bill there was no united
action in favor. Employers OF the
state had not seriously considered the
Kline plan. Many Of them were out
spoken in opposition basing their op-
position on the same grounds they
base their opposition to union labor
and refuse to favor anything that will
tend to take away. control Of their
own methods of treating with labor.
In the discussion labor was scored
by DR.. Kline and the opposition
abused the avariciousness Of the en-
ployers and the refusal to provide
adequate working conditions and liv-
ing wages.
Pending Legislation
There are enough measures on the
calendars OF the two houses to pro-
duce exciting sessions every. day.
The Senate has adopted a resolu-
tion to adjourn April s.
The House has killed the bill to
license real estate men.
Blue Sky-The blue sky bills are
scheduled for early consideration.
While every member would be pleas
ed to vote for a bill that would send
professional promoters to the peni-
tentiary for life many of them are
fearful of proposed drastic measures
which might cripple legitimate busi-
ness in refinancing for extension pur-
poses. 3.-.s vi 3. .s s-ss-.,..
C0al-A tonnage tax Is proposed on
Iowa coal mined to provide for schools
in mining districts. Coal in general
is likely to have a grilling but drastic
laws are not looked for this session.
Provisions for thorough inquiry with
report in time for extra session is
possible.
Highways-The Present highway
law was able to bravely meet and
defeat another attack when an effort
was made to permit road districts
which had voted in favor of perm
anent highways to hold another cleo
ton. The vote in the house stood 66
to 81.
Inheritance Tax-The Senate pass
ed the Weaver bill providing for in
heritance tax with amendments plac-
ing the tax on individual shares over
SIS 900. A widow will be entitled to
one-third the estate plus $4,000. The
bill goes back to the House and a
conference committee will undoubt-
edly be required to adjust the differ
ences.
Safety First Senate by vote
Of 2S to 20 passed the Schaffer bill
to eliminate danger at railroad cross
ings. TIE bill provides for danger
zone 800 yards on. the highway each
way from the crossing and the erec-
ti6n of warning signs within that
zone. Automobiles must reduce to
speed of Is miles an hour in the
danger zone and come to a full stop
before the crossing, but railroad
companies are not absolved from re-
sponsibility for accidents.
Quail Bill-As soon as Gov. Kendall
signs the bill there will be closed
season on quai until 1927. Little ops
position appeared in the Senate al
though several amendments were pro-
posed. The friends Of the quail stood
firm and the bill went back to the
house without change cf any kind
an exception to the general practice.

structive pieces Of legislation Of years.
There is hope that 1t may be able
to untangle the mess with utilities in
Des Moines where a warfare OF years
standing has been on and under pres
ent conditions would run on for many
more years. The trouble has been
lack of confidence in the claims and
promises Of the "other fellows" Util.
tiles have believed that the city gov
.ernment wanted to adopt municipal
ownership and the city has insisted
that the utilities were trying to put
something over. Now comes Arthur
Springer with a bill for the relief of
farmers on rural lines who want to
know that they are to be protected
on their investments and his idea
meets an endorsement for the regu-
lation Of the big fellows which prom
ises to become fixed policy for the
state. A law which will provide a
couch for the city and utilities Of
Des Moines to lie down together on
should be sufficient cause for state
wide celebration.
Working Wsmen Spring Surprise
Club women of the state met the
surprise Of their lives when they rush :
led to the aid of the 'poor working
class Of women to demand that their
hours be reduced to nine hours per
day and not over fifty-four hours per
week. Miss jeanette Rankin former
congresswoman of Wyoming with
others in public hearing before the
labor committee pictured Iowa as one
Of the few black spots in the nation
where women are degraded and not
protected by laws specifying the num-
sber of hours they may work. A de-.
,plorabla. situation was pictured by
the women demanding reform, To
refute the arguments Of the club wo-,
men the working class Of women de-
manded hearing for themselves and
furnished a surprise that shook the
rafters of the state house. They de-
clared they were perfectly competent
to take care of their own interests
and suggested that the club women
might find a place to work off their
pent up energies in coming to the re-
lief of their house maids and kitchen
girls who were not included in the

trio lines with the board Of Super
visors as the rate making power. The
bill had such, good features that he
was persuaded to extend the provi-
sions to include city and town utili-
ties. 1t is believed that by the adopt
ion Of this bill thousands Of dollars
will be saved to consumers in court
costs. Both sides believe there will
be less litigation and fewer cases
taken to the federal courts. The bill
has some provisions on which there
are different opinions and an effort
is being made to get these ironed
out. II the revised bill becomes a
law it will prove one Of the real con-

ADMIRAL SIMS AN OLD OFFENDER.


While no American of even ordinar.
intelligence desires to embroi
this country and Great Britai,
in serious disputes, it does
not follow by any means that Ameri
cans are called upon to disparage theil
own achievements, or censure every
one who disagrees with the policies
of the British government Admira
Sims, however, is SO blinded by a sort
of British mania that he is unable te
see anything quite as commendable
as the achievements of Great Britain
or any injustice in the laws of thai
country
The Admiral's recent attack upon
the people of this country, who SYM
pathize with the people Of Ireland in
their attempt to procure self-govern-
ment, is in line with many similar
offences on his part in years past. In
fact he Is an old offender. Ten years
ago when Taft was president he had
to rebuke Sims for his babbling to a
British audience. And he embarrassed
President Wilson in many ways by
his endeavors to belittle the achieve
ments of our navy and extol those of
the British navy. He did this, notwith-
standing the fact that the American
navy conveyed the larger part of q
100000 men across submarine infest-
ed ocean without the loss OF single
man, while one of our troop ships,
conveyed by the British navy, was at
tackled and sank and some of our sol
diers drowned.
The grand achievements OF our navy
in the great world war are without an
equal in naval history, and the at
tempts of an American admiral to dim
its records are Infamous, if the man is
OF sound mind.
And Sims recent attempt to classify
the people of this country, who favor
Irish Home Rule, with the handful OF
misguided Irishmen who favored the
Sir Roger Easement Movement during
the war, is more outrageous, If any
thing, more unjust and untrue than
his attacks upon our navy. A
majority Of the United States Senate
voted to add reservation to the Peace
Treaty favoring independence for Ire
land Itsis quite within the limits Ut
truth to say that not one in 100000 OF
the Irish sympathizers of today knew
anything about the Easement Move
ment, or favored it in any way. And
Sims, attempt to charge them with
knowledge or responsibility has
caused great indignation In all parts
Of the country.
The Secretary of the Navy sent tie
following cablegram to Admiral Sims:
Remainder your leave revoked.
You will return to the United States
and report at once inst
person to the Secretary Of the. Navy.
Acknowledge"
This last mad act may be Sims last
act as an American admiral. A con-
yressional committee will probably in
vestigate the whole affair and call for
Sims retirement from the service.
