Ont In Open.
(Trom a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la., Dec. 22. (Special.)
A demand will be made on the legislature
next month for on appropriation to bo
placed in tho hands of the State Hoard
of Control to bo used In buying land at
the various state institutions. Already
there aro large farms In connection with
practically every one of the institutions.
These havo all proved profitable to the
state. Especially ore tboBO valuable in
connection with tho insane hospitals, tho
Feeble-Minded Institute, tho boys' school
and the Inebriate Institution. At tho lat
ter institution, which Is located nt Knor
ville, there Is demand for at least t75,COO
with which to purchase additional land.
This year the farm products for that in
stitution aggregated about $23,000. There
are now TOO men at the hospital, the larg
est number on record, and tho number Is
Increasing as tho value ot the Institution
becomes better known.
Under tho new superintendent the insti
tution has become a real force for the
cure of victims of drugs who are sent
there. An effort la being mode to or
ganize for various Industries, and rock
crushing1 la one of the diversions of the
Institution. It Is expected that a brick-
making plant will be opened. But In or-
den to get best results It Is desired that
a large farm be provided. There' Is also
desire for additional land both at tho
state prison and tho state reformatory,
as good results have followed the pur
chase of land ndjacent to these Institu
tions. At the boys' reform school the
farm Is the big end of the work and
hundreds ot boya are given employment
there and tauglit how to make themselves
useful. The state has never purchased
an acre of ground that was not profit
able and not one that could not now be
sold for very much mora than Its cost.
Ilallronds Adopt New Policy.
The railroad oom ponies that do busi
ness in Iowa bave adopted, or will try
out. a new policy this winter in regard
to tho treatment of legislative matt em
coming to their attention. Instead of
turning over to their regular lawyers tho
political matters, they will maintain an
Informal organization composed largely
of men in tho operating departments to
handle legislative questions. A committee
has been named to look after this. This
committee ts headed by W. IL Given, for
many years holding high positions with
the Rock Island road and now a special
agent here. Superintendents and man
agers ot other roods are Included In the
list. The plan will bo to have these men
appear before legislative committees and
explain in simple language the viewpoint
of the railroad managers and trust to the
fairness ot the legislators.
Harmony is Strained.
There Is a very groat strain on demo
cratic harmony In Iowa at tho present
time, and it arises from tho prospect of
securing some offices for a few of the
faithful ones. It Is now recognized that
the Champ Clark of conservative demo
crats ot tho state, aftor they had Becured
(Cdritrol'of tho stnto convention lonlipring,
organized to retain the machinery of the
party largely for the purpose of dispos
ing of tha prospective federal offices.
Now they ore trying1 very hard to make
good in securing control ot the distribut
ing machinery. But the Woodrow Wilson
-democrats are also active, and are mak
ing a big showing as to their right to
name- most ot the federal offices in Iowa.
The result Is that several conferences
have ben held, but as yet no pet together
conference or effort to secure a compro
mise. Both sides seem to be confident of
ability to control. While the national
committeeman, the state chairman and at
least one member ot congress are lined
up with the Clark forces, tho most, con
splcuous ot the democrats of the state
are on tho Wilson side and seem to be in
a position to reach the president-elect by
a direct route. Tho men of tho rank ana
file, and especially tho postofflce hunters.
are anxiously awaiting soma sign an to
which side Is going to win.
Reappointment Expected.
Tho Incoming treasurer of state, W. C
Brown, has announced that he will
moko no change In the offlco force and
every person In the office now will bo
retained. Incoming Sercetary of State
W. S. Allen has announced that early
all the present force In that office, which
Is a large one, will be retained. He has
announced only two new s employes. It
Is expected that the Incoming governor,
Qeorire W. Clarke, will retain some ot
the employes of the governor's office
nd supplant others; but that among the
Important appolnttlve positions thero
will bo quite a number ot the very offl
clent servants of the state who will be
continued In office on tho scot ot their
excellent records. He haa made na an
nouncement, but It is known that as to
some of the places there will be no op
position to the present Incumbents. Thero
Is the usual political Jockeying for tho
petty places among the party workers
who feel they ought to bo rewarded, but
nothing that promises any serious
trouble for the party.
Nevr Internrban Kxtenslon.
Announcement was made a few days
ago that commencing' today the new line
of the Waterloo and Cedar Falls railway,
extending between Laporte City and
Waverly, will be operated regularly. The
extension to Laporte has been the last
made by the company and work has been
done on this during the fall and early
winter, so that It Is Just now completed
and ready for operation.
The work of surveying for new lnter-
urbans In eastern Iowa and especially
In the vicinity of Muscatine has been
under way some tlmft, but no actual con
structton will be commenced until spring.
Consider Parole Cases.
The state board of parole has had! un
der consideration during' the last few
days petitions for pardon or parole from
a number of long-time prisoners. In
cluded In the list is John Hamtnll, who
was sent to prison from Des Moines In
US? for the murder of Conductor Rid,
path, a case which attracted much at
tentlon at the time. George Weams, bis
companion, has already teen pardoned.
Hugh Robbord and L. W. Haley, who
were convicted of the murder of a Du
buque officer lu ISM, bave applied for
pardon and their appeals are being con
sidered. Charles Thomas, convicted of
the murder ot Mabel flco field, is also
aroonr those being considered.
Oleomarirarlnp for State Ward,
Not even the Btate Itself will be allowed
to violate the oleomargarine law. The
Board of Control has asked an opinion f
Attorney Oeneral Cosson concerning Its
right to order the hundreds of pounds of
oleomargarine used in the state lostltu-
tlons colored. It Li stated that the board
has no authority or right under tho law
to permit attendants to color tho butter
and serve It to tfie state wards. Tho
stato saves about CO per cent on Its but
ter bill by the use of oleomargarine In
about equal quantities with real butter.
