Iowa Assembly
Likely to Face
Long Session
Drys to Demand Statutes Be
Revised TO Allow Stringent
Enforcement of Liquor
Laws.
BY Associated Press.

Des Moines, Dec s.-First week OF
tho special legislative session behind
them, general sssemblymen have
been able TO size up the job before
them, and virtually all agree that the
code revision session will be busy
one. and that to properly pass upon
all the changes In the code recon.
mended by the revision commission
will not be the work OF a few weeks.
One or two members have expressed
the opinion that the special session
may run to as great a length as the
ordinary regular session.
When the legislature convenes this
week the stage will be set for the
rapid disposition of business, with all
committees organized and well along
with the task Of considering the bills
referred TO them after their reading
on the floor.
To facilitate committee action. the
code commission members are holding
themselves in readiness TO appear be-
fore joint sessions OF house and SEN
ate committees and explain the pro-
visions OF the revised code. This will
eliminate tho necessity OF all code re-
vision commissioners being present
daily at the capitol and will permit
the committees TO Jointly take up the
SUBJECTS under consideration and act
promptly
Whether any public hearings on
bills will be held before the Christmas
recess appears doubtful. So far no
hearings have been scheduled. II is
likely. however. that committees deal
ing with the revised school laws and
the liquor statutes will be asked for
an early hearing.
The Iowa Afti-Saloon league and
the women's Christian Temperance
tho manner In which the laws relat-
ing 10 liquor enforcement were re-
vised and plan TO offer numerous
recommendations to the committee on
suppression of intemperance.
Some chcanges in tho school laws.
particularly the section dealing with
the authority OF the superintendent
OF public instruction. also have raised
doubt In the minds Of some members
whether the new code can be adopted
without a lengthy fight.
Possibility that tho legislature may
be asked to reconsider the action
by which Il voted not TO take mp at
this time. the subject OF tax revision.
still appears on both sides of the
ca pitol. Some senators have been
quoted as saying they believed that
body was about equally divided ON
The subject. In the house also, many
members are reported ms favoring re-
consideration.
