American nationals are to be free

before the two men could throw the

Authorities state that the passenger

hour when the accident occurred, hay-

that the passenger coaches were COM

For a Constitutional Convention.

IOf SOIlStliutl0ildl SOHNtIllCH.
a very comprehensive bill providing
for holding constitutional convention
in 1923 has been introduced by Senat tor
Wichman of Hancock county. When
the voters declared last fall in favor
of holding convention to revise the
constitution of the state, they put up
a bigger job on the legislators than they
plans and machinery for such conven-
ton must be supplied by the 39th gem
eral assembly. Representative Calhoun
has introduced bill in the house also
dealing with this constitutional con-
ventiOn. Which one will get through
and become Il law is hard to say.
Educational Institution Wants.
a total support and Improvement
fund of something over $5.G00,0O0
year is asked for by the several state
institutions form this gen
eral assembly, and ON this sum the
legislators are looking with unfriendly
eyes. But the colleges will probably
get it. as they usually have shown that
they absolutely need every dollar of
their askings if they are to keep up
with the enrolment of students and the
higher costs for faculty. etc. Some
building projects are included, of course
but larger support fund must come
with more buildings and more students.
Iowa State University asks about $780,
900 more than the college at Ames. and
the State Teachers college at Cedar
Falls much less than either.
The state board of control. having
TO deal with the renitentiarics and all
institutions of the state are
also asking an immense increase. based
on the higher costs of everything We
are told they will get a pairing down
on the view Of legislators that
and upkecp will not be so
high the next two years as now.
Temple of Justice.
And the new temple Of justice for
which about Il million dollars was ap-
two years ago. must now
cost two millions. according to the
for magnificent temple of
that kind on the northeast corner of
the extended state capitol grounds.
Some quiet lobbying has been and is
being done to secure such desired &C.
ton by the general assembly, but we
have it by underground telegraph that
if the boosters think they are going to
get ii. they better arrange to secure q
two thirds majority in both houses to
put it over a veto.
