Prohibition will still be the law in
Iowa. Last Friday local option bill
that was intended to do away with
state prohibition, was defeated in the
Senate. This is regarded as victory
for state prohibition. An attempt
was made in the Iowa Legislature al
the last session to repeal the law but
two senators stood in the way and
kept Gov. Boies from signing repeal
bill. 1t remains to be seen whether
or not the present law will be enforced
any better under Gov. Jackson than
it has been before. If he desires to
make an attempt to push the law, he
will find Dubuque a good place to
begin.
At the special school meeting held
last Wednesday to consider the ques-
ton of borrowing $1,000 at a rate Of
interest not to exceed six per cent.
There were 12S votes cast, of which
107 were for the proposition and p
against. At the meeting last year
the School Board was authorized to
borrow the money at rate, not to
exceed per cent On investigation
it was found that money could not be
had from the trust funds of the state,
no matter how plain the law seemed
to be on the subject. The commits
sioners of the trust funds claim that
the funds over which they have con-
troll are to be loaned to securities
which shall pay the highest rate of i'm
terest, and the late stringency in the
money market has made it easy for
them to get much better rate than
per cent, and for this reason they re-
fuse to let the Lancaster school dis
trict have it at that rate. 1t is now
believed that the money can be had
for per cent and it viii not he long
before definite arrangements viii be
made for new school house.
