Some Have Been la the Hnnd ot the
Committee for Forty Days Without

Are Incensed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Ia., March 26. (Special
Telegram ) In the house this afternoon
the bill endorsed by the League of Iowa
municipalities, making Important changes
In the present form of city government,
was passed. The bill has already passed
the senate.
The bill to purchase additional land for
the Inebriate asylum at Knoxvllle and the
bill providing for a tax commission, were
passed. The bill enlarging the powers of
the superior court of Cedar Rapids was
killed.
The house Judiciary committee has acted
favorably on both the senate and house
bills for a uniform system of county ac
counts, the agricultural committee voted
for passage the bill to manufacture binder
twine at the Anamosa penitentiary, and the
pure stock food bill.
The soldiers' roster bill was passed by
the house.
Moore of Linn has introduced a Mil
providing that the governor shall within
ten days after the election In November,
190S, appoint a committee of two from the
senate and three from the house of the
holdover members and members-elect to
visit the three educational Institutions, re
maining at least six days at each and to
report to the legislature the needs of such
Institutions. -
Meredith Introduced a bill providing for
a board of examiners and to license osteo
paths.
tat Wants to Trade Realty.
The governor sent to the senate a special
message asking for authority to make a
trade of the camp ground of the Iowa Na
tional Guard, which Is near Fort Des
Moines, for other property which will be
near the new state rifle range.
The senate made an effort to reconsider
the vote by which the bill to Increase the
pay of the adjutant general and National
Guard's men passed, but this waa defeated.
Senators claimed they did not know what
was In the bill when It was passed. 1
The senate passed the bill to limit the
hours of labor of men working on trains,
also the bill requiring track scales at
Junction points. '
The senate committee on pardons acted
favorably on applications for the pardon
of George Weems, Betsy Smith and Jasper
Mason. All other applications were re
jected except two, which are yet to be
acted on.
Incensed at Senate Committee.
Incensed by the delay of the senate com
mute on railroads on Important railroad
bills, resolutions i have been drawn up by
house members protesting against the sen
ate's delay In urging action. For some
few days It has been known that J. C.
Davis, chief counsel for the Northwestern,
has been claiming that th railroads had
succeeded In getting the senate committee
on railroads In shape to kill the antl-pnm
bill, the reciprocal demurrege bill and the
Doran speed limit bill. This claim of
Davis has set the members of ths house
wild, for the three bills are among the most
Important railroad measures offered this
session. As a result there has been a con
ference pf Mnw members, snd resolutions
were drafted. These resolutions relate espe
cially to the Doran speed limit bill and
state that as the bill means from K to l?O0
on every car of live stock shipped by Iowa
cattlemen and that as the senate railroads
committee hss had the bill for more than
forty days without action, the attention of
the senate la called to this bill snd action
urged. It Is understood to be the intention
of following this resolution with others re
specting the other bills, If that on the speed
limit bill Is successful.
Only two weeks remain of the session and
the members of the house are desperate.
There has been a demand for a speed limit
bill and a reciprocal demurrage bill every
session for many years. These bills paVsed
the house with big mnjorltles and there Is
considerable fear that they are to meet
defeat In the senate. It Is understood that
Allen of Pocahontas proposes to bring the
reciprocal demurrage bill to a right on the
floor of the senate and Turner of Adams Is
proposing to do the same with the stock
train minimum speed limit bill, but the
railroads have succeeded in delaying mat
ters now to such an extent that the bills
are really In great danger of being killed
off. Iowa has an anti-pass law that was
enacted last year applying to publlo officials,
delegates to political conventions and mem
bers of political committees, but It was
proposed to pass another modeled after the
national law.
Primary to Conference.
At the forenoon session of the senate
steps were taken to secure a conference
on the primary election bill, as between the
two houses on small matters of difference.
and It is expected that in this conference
all the details will be perfected. This
conference was made necessary because of
some apparent conflicts of dates in the bill
as It has Anally passed the house.
Senate Business
The senate passed a bill making an In
crease In the appropriation for the Na
tional guard as recommended by the ad
jutant general, , and Increase in the pay
of the adjutant general; also some changes
In regard to the manner of payment to the
men.'
The following are other bills passed by
the senate today:
Whltlng'e bill placing the burden of proof
on the railroad company In mutter of non
furnlshlng of freight cars.
De Wolf's bill to give the railroad com
mission authority to regulate the stringing
