Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1900-10-08

verse side. a meeting OF the enthus1as-
tic contributors was called just before
the afternoon meeting in which Mr. Dol
liver spoke. Senator Carpenter presented
the token and said that it was pecu-
5liarly fitting as an expression of regard
for the champion Of the gold standard
because it was made Of solid gold and
it was going to be given to a man who
was made of the real stuff. The chair
man prizes this testimonial to his work
on the committee and in the First die
|trict, and particularly in Louisa county,
more than any other honor that has
come to him The meeting, which ex-
Senator Dolliver characterized as the
greatest political demonstration of the
kind he had ever seen was another trib-
ute to Mr.. Weaver. for it was essentially
his meeting. Ten thousand people came
pouring into the town and they were all
enthusiastic and good -natured and
shouting for republicanism. 1t was the
greatest meeting ever held in the First
Idistrict, the old timers say.
The milk dealers in DEG Moines have
formed an organization and given it out
THAT the main purpose of such organfza-
4 ition is to fight the payment Of the dollar
Ia year license which is imposed upon
them by the state. The revenue derived
/ from the sale of these licenses goes to-
slward the payment of the expense of
4 milk inspection in cities. In every city
having a population of 10,000 or more all
5lmilk offered for sale is inspected at ir-
4 regular intervals and tested as to quali-
i |ty and purity. This inspection is for the
Iprotection of the people who buy the
milk, for the reports are made public
land any one can see how his milk dealer
islands the examination. If the milk falls
below the standard the dealer must
Ieither mend his waysso or lose his license.
4 1.-THE number of licenses issued is about
1900. The expense of the inspection is
somewhere about $1,000. The inspection
is of course absolutely necessary and
will never be abandoned. It is q protec-
a a|tion to the honest milk dealer as we'll as
to the public If the milk dealers un-
dertakes to fight this law, the legislature
. will surely find way to make them re-
!, gret it. There is no doubt about the
!, fright of the state to insist upon the in
a spection and to charge fee therefor II
!. the dealers object to paying the license
!, 1.-THE legislature might conclude to au-
|thorize the dairy commissioner and his
!, deputies to charge fees for examination
!, which would amount to several times
: their dollar a year. So far the movement
of the milk dealers seems tc be confined
