IOWA STATE NEWS.
THE MULcT LAW.
The Anti-saloon League VIII Ask the
Iowa Legislature to Strike out
the 80 Per Cent, Claune.

ii. III. Abrams, state superintendent
of the Iowa Anti-Saloon league, has
returned to Des Moines from Emmett
and Dickinson counties. He said in
an interviews:
"The petition for saloons in Spirit Lake
and in all Dickinson county, was filed in
July, 1898. and was adjudicated at an ad-
journed meeting of the board of supervi-
sors, thus invalidating the petition. A new
petition will now have to be secured before
the saloons can continue in operation. The
temperance people in and about Spirit Lake
are determined to defeat the next petition.
THE mulct law carries within it many
redeeming features. With one or two
changes in the law the people of Iowa
ought to be contented and do not think
that the temperance people of Iowa Will be
satisfied until those changes are made.
The obnoxious part of the law is found in
that section giving special privileges to
towns of 5000 or over. This is an unjust
discrimination in favor of the larger towns,
often to the detriment of the smaller towns
in the same county. Let one rule apply to
all. Let the demands of the mulct law re-
quire that no saloon shall open up in any
county without having first secured 65 per
cent. of the names of those voting at the
last election on petition. Then place a
limit to the privilege SO granted, say of
three or five years.
After three years of experience in Iowa
In the enforcement of law, am more and
more growing to the conviction that if 65
per cent. of the legal voters can be secured
upon petition in any county that county
ought to have saloons, for 1t is almost inn
possible to enforce the law in such a county.
we shall call upon the next legislature
to strike out that 60 per cent. clause in favor
OF cities OF 5000 or over, and let the 65 per
cent. clause apply to all cities in every
county. Let the county be the unit and not
the city"
