Cummins speaks before interstate committee under fire
The Dubuque Times offers a harsh appraisal of Governor Cummins as he testified before the interstate commerce committee in Washington. The paper argues he spoke to aid his own image rather than to illuminate the grain and freight rate issue, revealing weaknesses in cross examination and understanding of the topic. It notes broader Iowa legislative tensions with the senate more reform minded than the house and cites Cummins worship among senators influencing policy.

Iowa Senate Fails Concurrence On Teaching Certificates Reform
The House amended an anti pass bill to take effect on publication but the Senate reformers refused to concur. They fear applying the law to successors, not themselves, and balk at an immediate start. The new teacher certificate law goes into effect October 1 1906 with circulars promised and exams likely for non state certificate teachers. County superintendents are told certificates may be issued only to October 1. Senate district reapportionment proposals follow including combinations like Allamakee Clayton and Jackson Jones. The fate of the bill remained uncertain.
