Mr. Knudson la not favtor of municipal ownership, as he believes It Impracticable, like a great many other 'cltlsens. There has been talk of se curing a hall' for the proposed debate, but . the whole thing. It la expected, will end In talk. Somo of the councllmen are In favor of Instructing the special committee to come to some speedy solution of the water works ' question er else turn the whole matter over to the council again and let It wrestle with : Jt for awhile. , Why not come In it your . eyes bother you?

OVtR SIX HUNDRED BILLS INTRODUCED Twenty-Nine Senate Bills Are "Pend ing la Hoaso aad Forty-It lee Honse BlUs la tho Senate. (From a 8taff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, Msrch 8. (Special.) A little Inquiry Into what the legislature has done up to the present recess discloses that the session thus far has been a profit able one and that the time has been well occupied. The legislature has been In ses sion just thirty-seven days' actual time, and In that time thirty-three bills have be?n passed by both houses and sent to the governor and everyone of them - has been signed. . But In addition forty-nine bills have passed the house and are now pending In the senate and twenty-nine bills have passed the senate and are now pend ing In the house. About fifty or sixty bills have been Indefinitely postponed in each house. Put in tabular form It Is some thing like this: House bills Introduced.. 2R8 Senate bills Introduced ...269 Hills passed and , signed... ...33 Bills killed (about) 1 100 Paarfed house, pending In senate 49 Passed senate, pending In house 29 In the thirty-three bills which have been passed by both houses and signed by the governor there are some few legalising acts and bills of only local Importance to various comrhunltles, but there are also the following bills of state Importance: The bill providing for railroad commis sioners' maps; Increasing the salary of the insurance actuary; allowing fraternal ao- cldent associations to do business In the state; defining the term mlsbranded as ap plied to pure rooos; presrrioing the Invest ments of fraternal beneficiary Insurance companies;. directing the preparation of the supplement of the eode; allowing police matrons appointed In special charter cities; providing for the transportation of dead bodies; the Z-cent fare bill. Of the important bills that have passed the senate and are ponding in the house there is the bill by Senator Hughes pro vidlng that a pass In a Juror's pocket Is grounds for challenge for cause; provld ing for pure paints and oils, prohibiting corporations contributing to political cam palgns; providing for the examining and licensing of graduate nurses; amending the Juvenile court law so as to allow super visors and cities to erect detention homes appropriating tfl.OOO for the railroad com mission for extra help for Investigating freight rates. - Of those that have passed the house and are pending In the senate there Is the bill fixing minimum rates for fraternal in eurance companies; the Do ran minimum speed limit" st6ck train bill; Mars ton's bill limiting the hours of continuous employ ment of railroad trainmen; OffllVs fire cracker bill; rirdvld'lhg state aid for county agricultural ' societies; providing a means for drawing Juries In cases of emergency when for arly cause a legal Jury cannot be drawn from'the regular lists; requiring employment offices to make reports to the' state labor corrlmlssloner; increasing the amount of supdeirf; 'to the county teachers' Institutes; pr6y1djrig for, the. investment of the' funds of fotliirance companies ' other than life. Anyone familiar, with legislation knows that the showing so far as the number of bills passed Is concerned comes late In the session. The fjrst part of every session is taken up quite largely , in committee meeting hearings, in visitations to the In stitutions, and the first week practically Is given over to organising. and the tnaugura tlon. Following that for a time only bills of minor importance are passed, because the flme Is quite largely" given up to com mittee hearings In which the members seek to study the various subjects presented for legislation, i Furthermore, after a bill has passed one house, with Its committee hearings. It Is nearly always necessary for It to go through the process of committee hearings in the other house. With twenty-nine bills passed by the senate and pending In the house, and forty' nine passed by the house and pending in the senate, the prospects are bright for a number of Important bills to meet their final test within the next week or two. On the house calendar ready to be acted upon as soon as the legislature reconvenes are twenty-nine bills. Including the Smith wife desertion bill, the Peterson bill pro hibiting corporations contributing to po litical campaigns, the bill to license grad uate nurses and the bill providing for pure drugs and oils... On the senate calendar are thirty-nine bills. Including the bill pro hibiting combinations for controlling the price of grain and the bill providing for pure seeds. Warehoaso Receipts Negotiable. a. Din introduced in both the house and senate last Thursday sees to make the warehouse receipt for grain or goods ne gotiable paper Just as the certificate of deposit of a bank ia negotiable. It Is an Interesting looking bill, wrth all the ap pearance of needing a Philadelphia lawyer to explain its provisions, but It ha back of It more big Influences demanding Its enactment than any other bill that has been Introduced at this session. It is backed by the American Bar association, which drew it; by the American Bankers' association, by the American Warehoua association and by Chief Justice Emlln McClaln of the Iowa supreme court and H. O. Weaver. both of whom are members of the uniform laws commission appointed by the governors of the various state, the Iowa members being appointed by Governor Cummins.

THE MUTUAL LITE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK, N. Y. Further information will be supplied on request. Stanhope Fleming Manager. Its passage, bnt especially the warehouse and bankers' associations. The uniform state laws commission has been solicited to take an interest in the bill, and through this commission the bill Is being- presented to the legislature in every state In the 'union that meets this year. The other states will get the bill as fast as their legislatures meet. The bill has been ex amlned by the ablest lawyers of Iowa, and If endorsements count for anything, this bill ought to pass. It Is argued by those supporting ths bill that when goods are deposited at a ware house they ought to be a source of busi ness negotiation without the goods them selves having to change hands, in lust the same sense that when gold and silver is deposited at a bank the certificate or receipt becomes a negotiable paper and can be used In business transactions without the gold and silver changing hands each time. The warehouse men's Interest is easily discernible. The bankers' Interest Is due to the fact that banks could put their money to remunerative use in taking up negotiable warehouse receipts if ths business is legitimate, and If they knew they were protected. Furthermore, man ufacturers snd jobbers will not store goods In this state now because when stored In other states if the necessities of business demsnd they can quickly turn their ware house receipt Into cash while they cannot do so In Iowa. If the law was In operation here It Is claimed there would be enormous warehouses built In this state such as are now standing In other states. Klaae Acrfcaltaral Bill. The Klnne agricultural bill. Introduced In the senate Just before the legislature ad journed for the recess, provides for di viding the state Into four geographical di visions and arranges for establishing In each of1 these a high school for teaching manual training and agriculture. Since the showing made by Judge Deemer before the senate the other day It has been eon' siderea likely that tne legislature will take some action looking towards agricultural education preparatory to the state college.
