Officers' TerVris in Smaller Cities Like
Marshalltown Will All Expire Same
Year—Number of Councilman Re
''educed and Wards Limited to Five in
Numbnr The Galveston Plan Bi
Spficial to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, March 27.—Municipal
legislation was practically completed
yesterday by the house passing both
the Galveston plun bills and the bills
endorsed by the League of Iowa Mu
nicipalities. Amendments were made
in each which will result in their going
back to the senate for concurrence in
the amendments, but it is believed
the amendments will be readily con
curred in. at least a conference com
mittee. if such is necessary, will have
no trouble in reaching a basis of agree
ment.
The Galveston plan bill In a*i optional
measure with cities of 25.0C0 popula
tion or' over. It provides that on the
petition of 2." per cent of the voters of
any city of the state of 2 ,000 or over
the mayor shall order a special elec
tion on the question of the udoption
of the fonfi of government set forth
in the bill. The bills endorsed by the
League of lown Municipalities make
changes in the present laws governing
cities and as soon as the governor's
name is signed to such bills and they
are published they will be in force and
effect.
The Galveston plan bill provides for
the government of cities by a com
mission of five men known as the
council and of which the mayor is one
with authority to vote on ail ques
tions. The members of this commis
sion are to be nominated at a non
partisan .primary at which political
parties are not recognized. The bill
provides that at the primary under this
bill foV the nomination of the com
missioners the tvVo candidates' for
mayor receiving trie largest number of
votes sh&ll bf considered the nom
inees for mayor and the eight, receiv
ing the largest number of votes shall
be considered the nominees for the
four positions on the council and at
the election these will be the only nom-
inees voted upon.
Under this plan the council or com
mission will appoint all other city of
ficials including the clerk, treasurer,
auditor, police judge aiVd the rest. The
commissioners are to. cteyote all thifiir
time to the city'.s work and in cities
the size of Des Moines the,.mayor igvto
receive a salary ot' IS.^OO ii year, ajbd
the councilmen $3,000. City employes
are to be selected by a civil service
commission of three appointed by the
council.
The bill also provides that if the
.public becomes dissatisfied with any
member of the council or the entire
council on a question of public policy
or for any other reason, a special elec
tion. to order their recall and elect their
successors can be hand on the petition
of 25 per cent of the voters.
The Galveston plan bill is intended to
apply .to special charter cities, the same
as to all others that are of a popula
tion of 25,000 or more. An effort was
I made to amend the bill so as to limit
|it to cities of 50,000 or more so that
it would apply only to Des Moines, but
the amendment was voted down.
The bills endorsed by the League 'of
Iowa Municipalities affect cities of the
first class, that Is, cities of 15,000 popu
lation or over, but little, the only
change being that the mayor's ap
pointment of members of the board of
public works shall not be confirmed
by the council. But as to cities of the
second class there are numerous
changes, some of considerable impor
tance. It is provided that in cities of
the second class that elect a mayor in
the odd numbered years the terms of
the councilmen, which expire Jn 190S
shall be extended one year, and in cit
ies that elect their mayor. In the even
numbered years the terms of the coun
cilmen that expire In 1909 shall be ex
tended one year. It Is provided that
there shall not be more than five wards
in such cities, nor less than two, and
that there shall bei two councilmen
elected at large, and one from, each
ward instead of two, thus making all
terms expire at the same time and
having, elections once every two years,
The bill provides that in cities of less
than 4,000 the city solicitor shall be
appointed by the city council, and in
cities of over 4,000 he shall be elected.
It provides that cities of 30,000 or over
oan have a board of public works ap
pointed by the mayor.
There were two bills endorsed by the
League of Iowa Municipalities, the
second of which pertained entirely
the question of park commissioners,
provides a salary of not to exceed $10
for each 1,000 of population of the city
and changes the present law- so that
the question of selling any of the park
lands? must be submitted to the city
council and the question of the park
tax levy must also t»e approved by the
city council. The bill provides also
that the city treasurer shall be custo
dian of the funds of the park commis
sion.

inary election bill. It Is true it has
passed both houses and every main
feature has been fully Agreed to but it
is also true that some additional tin
kering is necessary to get it just right
This is what will be done by the com
mittee consisting of Crossley, Peter
son, Wilson, Dunham, Lee, Darrali,
Holmes ami McDonald. It may be nec
essary to have the house, at least, re
consider its vote upon the bill that
some new, tlio important amendments,
maybe made, as the eonferrees have no
right to consider any matter not al
ready contained in the bill. The chief
trouble came thru inability of the
house, in making the amendments, to
properly consider the significance of all
amendments as related to the time ot
the various steps for a nomination. The
conference will be friendly to the bill,
and if in the end the bill Is not work
able the fault "may properly be laid to
those who have done most to make it
law. iff®

Senator Jackson has started the
movement to have an immediate In
vestigation of the school certificate law
so that within a week or ten days the
present legislature may do something
to either make it easier for teachers to
secure certificates or more attractive'to
them. The senator is confident that the
overwhelming sentiment of the state
demandsNsome Immediate action, that
the present law Is working badly, that
a good many have been deterred by th2
law from making applKfttlons for cer
tificates, that a good many have fallei
who (are in fact competent to teach,
and as a result we are face to face
with a shortage of teachers that will
•be serious. Superintendent Rlggs takes
an entirely different view of the mat
ter and Insist? that no repeal of the
law is necessary or would be proper f.t
this time. But It Is certain the Jack
son resolution will stir things up a
good deal.
The hail Insurance men will not like
the bill which has been reported favor
ably to the senate any better than the
bill introduced. It provides that a ha.il
Insurance company shall not use more
than 2 per cent of its funds for pay
ment of any one salary. This will cat
out some of the extravagances of these
companies.
BAXTER BOY MISSING
Fourteen Year Old Son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Kiser Leaves Home Last
Seen at Melbourne—Mother is Dis
tractod. y.
Special to Times-Republican.'
Baxter, Mdrcih 27.—Roy Klser, the 14.
year-old son of Frank Kiser, a farmer
residing four njiles south of Baxter,
has been mysteriously missing sin.ee
Monday night. The boy left home
Monday evening about 5:30 o'clock, ut
he was -not missed by his' parents un
til early Tuesday morning. The rela
tions between parents and son were
pleasant, so far as known, but the lad
had frequently expressed a dislike for
farm work, and this is supposed to
have been the reason for his myster
ious departure.
It has beeri learned that young Kiser
was seen at Melbourne on Tuesday
morning, and it 'is Supposed that he
boarded a train there, but which di
rection he went is not known. The
mother is distracted. Kiser was very
tall, considering his age, and weighs
110 pounds. He is of light complexion,
has blue eyes and brown hair, and wore
•blue, (overalls, a black sweater and a
white felt hat when he left home. His
face is marked by bluish powder burns.
WOULD AMEND ORDINANCE.
Ft. Dodge Council Cannot Agree on
Compulsory Marriage Measure.
Fort Dodge, March 27.—Mayor 8. J.
Bennett faced a crowded house last
evening as he rapped for ord^r prepar
atory to the passage of the marriage
ordinance by the city council.
The council first disposed of regular
routine matters before arriving at the
ordinance known as "An ordinance pro
viding for promotion of public welfare,
and providing mearis for enforcement
thereof." When C. J. Crawford, chair
man of the special committee to which
the ordinance was referred, was called
on for the report of the committee, he
announced that altho much time and
thought had been given to the matter,
the committee had not been' able to
complete a report on which It could
agree, and asked that It be granted
another week.
After some discussion a motion was
passed granting the request.
Two amendments were introduced
and referred to the committee for con
sideration, as follows:
No. 1—"That the term bachelor, as
used in this ordinance, shall apply to
and .mean any unmarried male citizen
or aVen who has attained the age of
35."
No. 2—"That every unmarried wom
an who has attained .the age of 30,
shall, beginning with the following
leap year, be amenable to the provis
ion of this ordinance in the same man
ner and to the same extent as bach
elors herein defined."

Des Moines, March 27.—The matter
of salary readjustment in the state
service is causing a good deal of an
noyance to many of the members of
the legislature. Yesterday when the
bill to place the insurance department
under a special commissioner was up,
the senate voted to give him $3,500 a
year to start with and an assistant at
$2,000 a year. These two men will do
the work now done by the state audi
tor and clerk of the Insurance depart
ment at $2,200 and $1,800 'a year, re
spectively, and. with the auditor de
voting not half his time to the insur
ance interests. The Plea
i4—u
was
made
that success In the department called
for an expert with long training, but
it was also pointed out that the present
official in charge—Mr. Carroll—was a
newspaper man with no training in this
line, and he has made a great success,
devoting only half his time to it. Then
the bill to Increase the pay of the ad
jutant general from $2,000 to $2,500
passed the senate without a ripple yet
it is conceded that the adjutant-general
has a v.ery easy task compared, for in
stance, to the deputy treasurer or dep
uty auditor of statQ, and these men got
only $1,500 a year. The senate Is
grumbling because asked to raise their
pay to $2,000. Then take the assistant
dairy commissioners, as another illus
tration, and it Is conceded by everyone
who knows anything at all about it
that these men must be specialists
quite as much as a man in charge of
the insurance office, but they get only
$1,200 a year. Another Illustration is
in the bill fixing salaries in the state
library department. The bill proposes
to fix the pay of the state librarian at
$2,400, which Is small enough, then of
his assistant In the law library at Jl.
800, and that of the curator of the his
torical department at $1,600, with an
assistant at $1,200. As a matter of fact
the salary of Mr. Aldrich, ivho has de
voted a lifetime to hifc special work,
ought to be put on a basis: of not less
'than $2,000, and certainly more than
that of the law librarian. Bills are
pending to increase salarhss in nearly
all important positions in the state ser
vice save that of the state officers. It
is probable that) the compensation of
members of the state executive council
will be Increased before the term is
over. This is something which Is ln-
evitable, unless salaries are to be kept 50 cents. McBrtde & Will Drug Co.

THE/FAIR
so low that good men cannot afford to
get into politics. But members are
miuch puzzled to know what to do ip
tlfeso various cases.
The joint rale bill which, passed the
senate yesterday will be, When it is
put in force, as far-reaching in effect
as any legislation enacted at the pres
ent session. Senator Jamleson of
Page explained It briefly and gave some
Illustrations of the necessity for the
joint rate rule. For Instance, a ship
per at Shenandoah sends a 50-lb pack
age by freight to Orescent the charge
is 25c to Council Bluffs, 25c, transfer
and 25c from the Bluffs to Crescent, a
total of 75 cents. A shipper of the
same article in St. Louis sends it from
there thru Shenandoah and to Cres
cent for a total of 25-cents under an
interstate joint rate. A nurseryman',
at Shenandoah ships to Galena, 111.,
for $6.20, but the same shipment to a
pojnt in Iowa- Just east of Dubuque
would cost him $8.40. So it is all over
the state. The railroads have long
refused to make Joint rates In Iowa,
while making them in other states and
on Interstate business. In the aggre
gate this bill will be of benefit many
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Iowa shippers. There are places where
it is not wanted, for the distance tar
iff of Iowa protects some shippers, but
the railroad commission has power to
make such discriminations as may be
necessary to protect such places. In
fact the whole matter is left to the
railroad commission.
The million dollars asked for to
make additions to permanent improve
ments at the state Institutions under
the board of control experienced a de
cided shrinkage when the committee on
appropriations today reported to the
senate a bill to make these appropria
tions in a lump. The total Included
was $676,550, which members of the
committee believe ia quite liberal
enough. The educational Institution
allowance must yet bo decided upon.
