Des Moines reports on the anti pass bill, with a house amendment on publication. Senator Lewis withdrew a publication clause, and the bill passed. Colonel Temple argued that supporters were influenced by passes. Appropriations offer $129,000 for the state university, less than the requested $261,000, while the senate grants $15,000 more annually for the extension station.
