Skies Are ClenrliiBT.
Grand Regent Charles A. Beno of this
city, who declined re-election owing to j
pressure of other business, In his annual I
address said in part:
When I assumed this office the clouds,
which had been so long oppressing us,
we;e beginning to roll away; occasionally i
bright sky could be seen, and It is a
source of great gratification to me to note
the clouds are still moving and there Is
more sunshine on our path. The loss of
membership haa been stopped and we now
begin to show an Increase. Our member-
ship, which on January 1, lym, was l,fi40, 1
on January 1, 1907, was 1,414, showing
a loss of 12H. This, while much larger
than I could wish, Is very cheering as
taking the place of a loss of 36n the pre-
vloua year, and is, I hope and believe,
only an Indication of better things to come. 1
On Marcn 1 the membership was
being an Increase since the first of the year.
A number of councils report applications
pending, thus showing that activity has
taken the place of apathy.
Surely the tide has turned and we are
again moving forward. I believe the de
creasing membership in Iowa la a matter
of history.
The supreme regent, In official circular
No. KM, states that during February six
teen grand jurisdictions and four states
h the supreme council Jurisdiction made a
net gam. Brothers, our own state is one
of the number which has helped to make
this gain.
I earnestly hope that this evidence of
renewed activity in obtaining new members
may continue until every memlwr is stim
ulated to greater efforts In the upbuilding
of our noble order.
After reviewing the wont of the last
year Grand Kegent Beno spoke on the
benefit derived from the annual sessions
of the grand council, and also on the BOclal
features of the order.

ANTI-PASS BILL IS FINALLY PASSLD

Honrs of the Session 4e
Tardon Granted.
(From a Staff Correspondent. 1
PES MOINES, la., April 9.-(Special Tel
egram ) The hist act of the legislature
was to direct a tax levy to raise $.'.2."i,oti
of revenue each year, which is said to
mean a tax levy of 3.2 mills. The appro
priations made aggregate atsiut $l,7o,M.
Officially the Iowa legislature adjourned
nt noon today. Actually It was much later
In the afternoon when the end was reached
There has not been a legislature In years
that was so slow In deciding on tho day
of final adjournment as this session. A
month ago nnd over resolutions were intro
duced fixing the time. The resolution that
fixed today ns the time was passed by the
house yesterday und by Ihe sennte today nt
11 o'clock. Iyist session the date was de
cided two weoks before adjournment.
The final hours of the session were spent
In cleaning up the calendar and passing
the final hills. Conference committee re
ports were made on a number of Import
ant bills and accepted. The omnibus ap
propriation bill which provides the means
for running the state house and the ma
chinery of state government for the net
two years was passed in both houses. The
legislature all session has haggled over
the question of salaries of the state house
employes and finally adopted an appro
priation bill that gives them all a substan
tial boost though many did not get all
that they wished.
One of the events of the close of the
session was the appearance of Governor
Cummins In the house. He took the priv
ilege given him by the constitution to dc-
' liver a message and delivered It orally.
J It was to present a gavel to Speaker
1 Kendall. The gavel was made by Cap
tain Ames Brandt, deputy state audi
tor nnd the handle is from a walnut
tree that grew from a walnut picked from
a tree near the grave of George Washing
ton. The head of the gavel is from wood
taken from a historic building In the Phil
ippine islands. Governor Cummins drew
on these facts for lessons anil paid Speaker
Kendall a high compliment and praised
this general assembly as having enacted
more laws that are in the Interests of the
people than any legislature that has as
sembled In Iowa. Speaker Kendall re
sponded feelingly. Later In the day he
was presented by the house with the chair
In which he has sat during the session
and the gavel that he has used during the
session.
In tho senate President Garst was pre
sented with a gavel exactly like the one
given by the governor to Kendall. It was
presented by Senator Turner of Adams
county. President Garst was also presented
with the chair and gavel he haa used dur
ing the session.
Antl-Pnas mil Bussed.
The anti-pass liUl was passed by the
house, then killed In tho senate and finally
reconsidered and passed by the BomUe. It
will now become law. When everybody
was sure It was finally killed It was resur
rected and passed.
The conferees reported a bill that meant
elimination from the list of exceptions of
the lawyers, the doctors, the eye social
ists nnd others wh(e names had been leftfth" house and senate while the bodies were
in the bill. The house passed this and It
wont to the senate, where a long debate
was Indulged in. Saunders, Jamison of
Clarke, De Arnuuid and Jackson made the
light to defeat all antl-pnss legislation.
Those who fought for It were Smith of
Mitchell, Allen, Young, Turner and somo
others. On tire first roll call only twenty
four voted for It and tho bill was lost,
there being a large number of absentees.
The vote was:
Ayes
Allen,

the session providing that stock trains
must move at an average speed of eighteen
miles an hour at least. The bill passed
the house and was killed In the senate. It

has been Introduced at many Sessions and
the farmers of some sections of the state
are deadly in earnest in favoring the bill.
During the closing hours another bill was
brought forward. Governor Cummins, It
Is claimed, wrote the measure. Smith of
Mitchell Introduced It. It passed the sen
ate yesterday nnd the house today. It
provides that stock trains must move as
fast as public safety will warrant and then
gives to the railroad commission power to
regulate the speed of stock trains. Some
think it even a better bill than the other.
The substitute for the reciprocal de
murrage bill was killed. The house during
the closing hours passed a bill which
amended a section of the code requiring
roads to f rrnish cars. The code requires
them to furnish cars "If In their power so
to do." The house cut that part out and
with another bill that has passed both
houses, putting the burden on the roads
of proving whether or not they have cars,
tin effective demurrage bill was provided.
The senate killed the amendment cutting
out "if In their power so to do."
Jasper Maaiin Pardoned.
Of the twenty-three applicants for par
dons at this session of the legislature, only
one was successful, Jasper Mason of Dallas
county. The house today passed the senate
resolution recommending to the governor
that he issue a pnrdon.

it the camp fires of every county In tho
state. The house indulged In giving pres
ents. Mooro of Linn was given a pair of
crutches and a head of cabbage, which
was presented to him soon after he had
been instrumental In sending lemons to
Harding, Balluff. Sheldon and Kellogg.
Every member of the house was presented
with a beautiful carnation. The desk force
of the house 4resente"d Speaker Kendall
a set of the works of Tennyson. Van
