the subjects of finance, taxation
and unemployment.
Enough taxation measures have
been introduced to raise more than
So, 2,000, 100000 in new revenue. Since
only $1O0,00O,O0O is needed, it would
appear that the legislature could
take its choice and dispose of the
financial subject speedily.
Every taxation proposal, however,
was considered controversial and
the potential cause Of a prolonged
argument.
Recommendations for aiding the
unemployed ranged from establish
ment of funds for work relief on
public buildings to trying the pro-
duction for use plan advocated by
Upton Sinclair and his Epic forces
during the 1884 political campaign.
Unemployment insurance, isSu-
ance Of scrip, establishment of state
subsistence farms, state aid for self
help cooperatives, extension of
homestead privileges, moratoriums
on debts. and shorter working days
and weeks also were offered as un-
employment aids.
Advance indications were that the
assembly would be inclined toward
liberalism in reorganizing systems
of the past and meeting changing
economic and social conditions
while the senate would continue its
traditionally conservative course SO
far as possible.
A majority of the senate was ex-
pectcd to support Gov. Frank F
Merriam S program. In the assem-
bly,. a Democratic left wing Repub-
lican bloc appeared to have gather
ed strength enough to cause the
administration trouble in controv-

D. Wearin S bright red necktie is
one of the glories of the house. SO
when Wearin, a representative from
Iowa, appeared one day without
the flaming neckpiece there was
considerable wonder, especially in
view of the fact that Wearin had
worn crimson tie every day since
the start Of congress.
"It was my wife," Wearin ex-
plained to his colleagues. "She got
tired of 1t. She knew it Wouldn It
do any good to argue against my
wearing a red tie but she did per-
suade me to change the shade.''
Wearin now appears with neck
tie of maroon hue.

little truth in the story about
