DOUBT WHETHER IT WILL STAND IN COURT (ienernl Oplalnu Amendment to Con- atltatlon Will He Xeresaary la Order to Frame a Thoroughly Effective Men so re. (From a Stun" Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March ri.-(Speclal.)-The most Important general legislation coming before the present loxl.ilature Is that re lating to drainage. The state haa made efforts In the past to secure a system un der which extensive drainage systems might be secured, but the courts have found flaws In all of the laws and there la now no method of getting this work done legally. A subcommittee of the legislative committees on agriculture has been at work during nearly all the session rewrit ing the various bills and suggestions made by interested parties relative to drainage legislation and thla committee haa now prepared a bill of about 20.000 words which will be reported from the general commit tees In a few days for action. This con tains all the information in regard to proper methods of ilraln;ige which the com mittees could secure. But it Is regarded as uncertain whether the committee has succeeded In getting around all the legal obstacles; and an amendment to the con- tltutlon la proposed which will have for Its purpose the giving of specific authority to condemn land for drainage purposes. In the meantime the law will be given a trial. If It can be passed, and If it should fall. then future legislatures would be able un der the amendment to enact good drainage bills. But It Is regarded as a little doubtful If the dralnnge bill as prepared can be got through the legislature. It Is learned that one of the features of the bill relates to the payment of rosts by a railroad com pany where the drainage ditch Is near a right-of-way or crosses the same. It Is claimed that under the bill as prepared the rnllroa-l companies would have to nav n large proportion of the cost, and !f this Is true the railroad companies will fiht hard to have the bill materially amended or de feated. Passes Are Still ftond. For the third time In ruccesslve sessions of the legislature the Hughes nntl pass bill was defeated this morning. The vote on the final question for adoption of the meas ure was taken in the senate shortly before noon today and resulted 25 ayes to 16 nays. The bill having failed to receive a constitu tional majority. Senator Hughes changed his vote from aye to nay, so as to move a reconsideration and the vote waa an nounced 24 ayes to 17 nays. Senator Hughes spoke long and earnestly for the measure and most of the forenoon was given over to the consideration of amendments, two of which, tne by Jamison and one by Crawford, were Incorporated In tho bill. These amendments made the Issuance of pannes Impossible only when the person recelv'ng the same has reason j to believe that hia official act mlorht he unduly Influenced thereby. Early In the morning session the com mittee on public health reported favorably the bill for the establishment of a bacterio logical laboratory in the medical depart ment of the'Btafe university at Iowa City. The report was nt to the appropriations committee. The committee- on military reported fa vorably on th bill for the compilation of a roster of the Iowa soldiers, sailors and marines. It also went to the appropriations committee. The senate passed a bill to limit the time of life of a consent petition to three yeara. In case of the application of 25 per cent of the vote-s for rescinding the petition. The senate passed the house bill to re quire railroads to Issue return passes to stock shippers after amending It ao that they get forty-eight hours' time at point of destination. The house defeated a senate bill to give the State Board of Educational Examiners discretionary powers In relation to the rec ognition of diplomas from the State Nor mal school and state university In the granting of state certificates. At present the examinations conducted there are ac cepted by the state as final. , The house refused to reconsider the bill to recognize "psychiropathy" and grant certificates for Its practice. A senate bill for revision of the laws relating to reporting on oil inspection was passed. The bill to provide for condemnation for gravel bids for byways was repassed on reconsideration of the vote. A bill to revise the law relating to dangers to steam engines waa passed. The bill to pay for the official bonds of the state treasurer and deputy treasurer, was passed. Merrlam Returns Home.
