Tho business men havo decided to tako
an active part In tho coming city election
anil tho republican meeting held Tuesday
night at tho city hall, attracted a largo
gathering of repreacntutlvo citizens. The
council chamber was inadequate to accom
modato tho number present and many had
to h content and watch tho proceeding!)
from the hall and landing outside. Thu
gathering was tho most representative held I
In this city for many years. It was marked
by harmony and tho sentiment unanimously
voiced was that nono but men of undoubted
fitnce.1, efficiency and Integrity should be
tho nomlnern of tho party for the various
municipal officer to bo voted on March 20
next. The following resolutions, submitted
by 15. H. Lotlgee, were unanimously adopted:

administration of our municipal affairs
that enterprise, growth and prosperity may

management.
Resolved. That It Is especially necessary
Ht this time that tho Implement, manufac

interests of our city, upon which so largely
depends the welfare of our people, nhould bo
represented In the city government and that
men representative of these Interests should
be selected for the positions of mayor and
members of the city council, ns an adminis
tration of municipal a mi Irs In the hands of
representatives of these great Interests will
materially advance the prosperity and in
terests of the city ut large and of every
citizen.
Resolved, That we are In favor of a wlso
nnd prudent municipal administration that
will encourngo every legitimate enterprise
and by reducing tho burdens of taxation to
tho lowest posslblo limit and Hccurlng tho

Tho meeting was called to order by Spen
cer Smith, who mado a short opening ad
dress. He said In part: "One week ago
tonight at a private otllco In tho city some
twenty representative republicans met In
conference regnrdlng tho approaching city
election. Tho Importance of the coming
election was Impressed upon them and tho
noccsslty of tho republican party making
ouch nominations ns will Insure the admin
istration of this city for tho next two years
being In tho hands of the republican party."
Mr. Smith reviewed tho city expenditures
under tho democratic and republican admin
tstratlons for a number of yeais back and
showed that tho floating Indebtedness of the
city hud been formed during the
tlmo tbo affairs of tho munici
pality wero In tho hands of the
democrats. Ho urged tho necessity of hav
ing tho various Interests of the city rep
resented in tho council, haying "that those
who pay tho fiddler and dance to tho nutate"
should havo somo say In tho city's affairs
Closing, he called upon the meeting to se
lect Its chairman and secretary, and C. M.
Hurl and Steve Connors wero selected chair
man and secretnry respectively.
On taking his scat Mr. Harl made n rous
ing talk, In which ho dwelt upon tho neces
sity of tho solid business men of tho city
taking a more ucllvo part In local politics
ind raid ho was glad to see by tho number
present that they evidently Intended to do
so this year. Ho reviewed tho prosperity
that had come to the country since the
election of McKlnley and said the Indication
wero for n sweeping republican victory thl
spring that would anco moro place the ad
ministration of tbo affairs nf the munici
pality In tho hands of the grand old party
His speech was frequently interrupted by
applause.
Coiuiiiitli'o In It !' in m c-iifl ('uiiilldiiti'N.
After tho adoption of the resolution sub
mitted by K. H. IftOUgee, Frank Keys sug
gested that In order to secure the nun.
representative candidates obtainable a com
mittee 'bo appointed by tho chulr, consist
ing of two members from each ward to se
lect candidates for each ofilco to bo voted
on who would accept the nomination If of
fered them.
Somo question was raised as tn whether
this would not interfero with the cnucuscs,
but on It being explained that such selec
tion was only Intended to act as u recom
mendation, tho suggestion, placed In the
form of a motion, wus carried unanimously.
Chairman Harl stated that tbo selection of
tho ccwnmltteo being such an Important mat
ter, ho would tako time to appoint It.
II. II. Field brought up the matter of tho
abolishment of tho superior court with a mo
tion to the effect that It was the scoso of the
meeting that tho city council bo requested
to submit to tho voters at the coming city
olectlcn tho question of abolishing this
court. The motion was carried without a
dissenting voice.
Tho meeting then adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman. It being practically

Woolnnn'n ItiilhiK 1" I'ediTiil Court In
Cnni'N if Mootli-HKlim:.
When Judge Munger convenes the March
term of United States court In this city, ho
will bo asked by the United States mar- I
shal of this dlutrlct to rescind a certain
order made by tho Into Judgo 'Woolson
shortly before his death. Tho order In
question was that no inoro revcuuo viola
tion eases were to be brought on tho tetl
mony of 'Witnesses who ninko this a busi
ness nnd furnish Information to tho federal
nuthoritlcH for tho fees they expect to re
cclvo. In other words, Judgo Woolson or-
dered that no prosecutions for "bootleg-
glng" were to lie Instituted on tho testl
tnony of- professional wllncsacs.
Tho effect of this order. It Is claimed by
tho mnrshal and his deputies, has been to
materially IncreaBo bootlegging nnd that
there Is more Illegal whisky selling doing
on In tho southern district of Iowa right
I today than over before In the history of tho
In tho district, ami especially from the
towns where prohibition provalls, complain
ing that whisky in being sold illegally and
calling upon tho United Slates marshal to
stop It. Without the assistance of so-called
profofHlonnl witnessed or "spotters." tho
deputy marshals find little can bo accom
plished. Kvcry small town has Its boot
legger and somo of them moro than one,
but the person to whom they noil will not
testify ngalnst them, except In very rare
Instances. Tlmo nnd time nguln, when tho
marshal has been notified of n person vio
lating tbo revenue law by selling whisky
or beer without a government license, nn
effort has been made to secure the- neces
sary evidence, but to no avail. The pur
chasers will not furnish tho oITlcerB with
tho evidence that would Justify them making
an arrcat. For a number of years It had
been the policy In this district, before Judge
Woolson set his heel down on the practice,
to send a professional witness Into the
community whero bootlegging was reported

rapidly on tho Increase In this district. If
wo were nllowed. to have tho use or assist

regarding tho existing evils In tho laws
governing tho building and loan nnd Insur-
I nnco business of Iowa and tho needed romo
....... ' ,. ,., ,1,.,
senate today, lit reply to a request from that
body mado over n week ngo. They aro even
moro sweeping than has been expected.
According to Mr. Rcmlcy there nro mnny
corporations which may bo ehibsed under
theso heads now doing business of an Illegal
kind In tho stato nnd swindling the poorer
classes of people every day. Mr. Rcmlcy
docs not point directly ut uny particular cor
poration, hut tho elements of his charges arc
so sweeping and of such n nature as to as
sure tho bringing out of many prominent
uicit in the statu who nre connected with
largo associations of tho kind, and who will
undoubtedly refuse to rest under tho charges
which havo been mrnle.
Mr. Rcmlcy expresses the opinion that
neither tho stato oxocuttvo council nor the
attorney general has tho power which should
bu given to theso authorities In passing
upon the business of the corporations In
volved. His criticisms on tho building and
loan builness do not so much npply to tho
domestic associations doing business In tho
ututo us to tho larger associations where
stock Is purchased In larg amounts by capi
talists who deslro to obtain exorbitant Inter
est rates on their Investments nnd are thus
crushing tho poorer classes, tho ones which
tho law wns Intended to benefit and protect.
His criticisms on insuranco organizations
aro ulined at tho class of companies known
as tho farmers' niutuals and some of the
larger llfo insurance organizations. Many of
theso companies, according to Mr. Rcmlcy,
nro conducted in a decidedly loose manner,
thus bringing all tho Inwa companies Into
disrepute. Tho recommendations of Mr.
Remley for chnngos In the laws explain
largely tho fault ho has to find with tho
present methods governing theso corpora
tions. Some Iti'iiii'dlcN SiiKKcntril.
His recommendations In brief relating to
building and loan associations nro as fol
lows: First Tho law should forbid nnv tmrt nt
thu principal paid In by tho stockholder to
uit ur.i',1 mi- rAli'MlMCM.
hecond Thero should he a limit unnn itio
l-AUl'liaus oi mo iissociuiions.
riilru All guaranty slock or nreferred
stock under any and all names which re
ceives a llxod dividend, whether urntlts
havo been earned or not, should be elim
inated. Fourth The power to Impose fines and
forreltures upon persons wlm full tn nav
the Installments on their stock ought to bo
removed
Fifth The exemption of building and loan
associations from tho law of usury works
a iinnisuip which tne rormor general as
semblles could not havo seen, in Mr. Rem
ley's opinion.
Sixth Tho executlvo council ought to bo
given moro plenury powers. Including the
power to revoko the certificate authorizing
the association tn do business.
Seventh Provision should bo mado by
which money paid fin stock by the party
who has borrowed thereon,, In case of fore
closure, should 1)0 trcnted as an itb-tolute
payment on tho money borrbwed, together
with tho profits, if any, credited on such
stnclc.
Klghth Some provision should be made
to enable, associations to go Into voluntary
liquidation, with suitable provision for the
protection of tho borro'vlng member. It
might bo well ulsn to authorize the nsslgn
meat of loans made by the lluuldatlnc as
soelatioii to somo association of similar
character, subject to the rights of the bor
rowing member, to have tho amount paid
on his stock credited on such loan, or to
permit two or moro associations to con
solidnto by a three-fourths voto of tho
stock of the respective nssoc atlotis. on
terms which the executive council or somo
officer of tho stato should npprovo us equl
tablo to all concerned.
Ninth Chapter vlll of the laws of the
twenty-seventh general assembly should be
repealed. Its effect was to mako new and
different contracts for those affected
thereby, which has worked a hardslilp in
many instances.

In regard to tho remedies needed In tho
ItiEtiranco code, tho following recommenda
tions are mnde
First All articles of Incorporation of
companies ami associations Incorporated
uniier the laws or this state, ns well ns
thoso Incorporated In other states, should
Do submitted to the auditor or statu and
attorney general for their approval, am
theso officers bo authorized to disapprove
all plans which do not provide proper safe
guards for the protection of policyholders
Second All companies and associations
which mako assessments on the members,
or by a so-called safety clause reserve the
right tn maid! assessments, should by
statute be prohibited from Issuing so-called
paid-up policies, limited payment policies
and from accumulating a fund to be paid
back to the members as dividends, dlstrlbu
tlou nf surplus or endowments In uny form
Third All forms of policies should bo
submitted tn tho nudltor for his upprova
and he should bo required to disapprove all
rorms widen do not state on tno raco or tn
policy nil tho terms, conditions or war
rnntles, by tho breach of which the policy
is voided, (mil to revoKo tne ceriiiicnte oi
any company not complying with this pro
vision.
Fourth All policies which require tho
payment nf a, fixed premium should b
made nonforfeitable after two annual pay
meats.
Fifth Any company or association which
publishes its literature witn iiuse anil mis
leading statesments as to the nature of lti
business should forfeit Its right to do bus
lness In tbo state.
Slxth-Tho section of the code requiring
a medical examination or nil members n
associations should be tnnne to nppiy t
eve iirem tun companies
Seventh Nn mutual company or nssocln
tlou should be permitted, by an amendment
ur articles nf Incorporation, tu Increase the
premium or, rate of ussessments on existing
poiicynoiuers.
Klghth No stipulated premium or assess
ment company Incorporated under tho luwi
of another stato should bo permitted to do
business In Iowa If It uses a greater aer
cent of tho premium or assessments for ex
neiiHes. or snllcltlnir new business, than 1
allowed to similar associations organized
under the laws of t lis stntc.
Ninth All associations which have at
tempted to absorb any other association,
either by reinsuring or consolidation tn any
way. which the attorney general contends ,
cannot be legnlly done under the laws nf
Iowa, and have made assessments on the
members thus received, should bo required
tn treat such members as their own original
members nnd pay the same amount, In
case nf death, as their own original mem
bers receive.
The above leport has been an absorbing
topic of conversation among the mombors
of the nssombly today. Several Important
measures are pending to chaugo tho build
ing and loan nnd Insurnnco laws and tho
attorney general's opinion wab asked for as
a guldo In determining the best policy to
pursun tnwnrd these corporations. It Is
safe to say that the first noto of one of
the biggest fights of tho session has been
sounded.
A Kill ii Deferred.
Tho matter of abolishing the offices of
stato printer and binder baa been defcrrod
again. Today tho question camo up In tho
house, having been made n special order.
Tho committee on Investigation wero not
ready to submit their report and asked for
a week's tlmo to do so. This brought out
a protest from tho supporters of tho meas
uro nnd a hard tight resulted on tho floor.
It was charged openly that tho delay lu
the report of tho committee wns for no
other reason than to defer the matter until
It would bo too late for the senate to taku
It up. Mr. Clark, In urging that the bill
bo taken up at once, called up the fnet that
tho bill was Introduced by him Jnnuury 21,
tho committee had It until February 0. when
It reported back, recommending passage,
but claiming it necessary to have two moro
weeks' time. Tho two weeks had expired
today nnd still tho committee wns not ready.
On the 18th day of January a resolution
was Introduced for the appointment of this
investigating committee and tho samo day
camo the resolution to confer with tho
Board of Control regarding Its system.
Tho latter committee. Upon which It was
held that n great duty devolved, reported
back to tho houso January 23. A month
has passed nnd tho Inveslgatlng committee
is still cnlllng for time. Before the motion
by Kerr to defer a week was put Dunham
offered an amendment Instructing tho print
ing committee to report prior to thnt tlmo.
Blake nttcmpted to fix Saturday as the
tlmo for tho report In order that thero
would be a few days for members to con
alder It, but he was ruled out of order, both
on tho amendment and nn an original mo
tion mnde to that effect after tho other
had carried.
Ciiursi" nf ItemlliiK for Tcnclirrs.
Tho members of tho reading circle board
of tho stato educational department, who
aro In the city outlining a course of reading
for the teachers, appeared before the educa
tional conunltteo of tho sttiato and presented
rgutnents In favor of new normal schools
for thu state. Among those who wero pres-
nt at tho meeting In the Interests of the
bill wcie: II. K. Blackmar of Kmmetshurg,

with tho rccommcndntlon of tho Stato Board
f Control that it ho allowed discretion In
using the balances for other purposes.
Appeal fur Funds.
At 2 p. m. today President MacKeah and
ther friends of tho stato university ap
peared beforo tho senate committee on ap
propriations In tho Interests of the requests
which havo been made for additional sup
port fund and funds to meet other needs of
tho school. It Is understood that in tno
nenr futuro tho senato cooimltteo on schools
will report Hayward's compulsory education
bill for passage.
Tho bill by Temple to amend the codo so
as to mako It posslblo for ltiBtirnnco com
panies to receive loans upon their own
policies, and not wait until thrco years after
nnllcv Is taken out as now required, passed
by a voto of 09 to 13. Tho object oi tno
bill, as stated by Temple, was to make it
possible for Iowa companies to make loans
at good Interest and help build up a center
of canltal In tho stato. It was looked upon
as especially reasonable now when policies
aro frequently takeu out paiu up in mil.
Governor Shaw stated late this aliernoon
that Captalu J. O. Hutchison of Ottumwa
had declined positively to reconsider ins de
cision declining the appointment to tho
Stato Board of Control. The govornor has
not yet offered It to another man.
