Combine will Buy All the
Minor of the
State.

SlOUX CITY, Feb. 10.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-A movement is on foot in Iowa
under which the Iowa Telephone company,
better known as the Bell company, proposes
to buy up all the Independent companies in
the state. The general manager, f.. B.
Smith of Davenport, is authority for the
statement, but he declines to say in which
town operations will follow. At any rate
the Sioux City Independent exchange, after
a fight of several months duration, have
been obliged to give way to the trust, and
has been absorbed under the terms of a
sale closed this afternoon. The Iowa COM
pany pays S2S, 900 and takes the system and
stock. The Iowa managers say this is the
first of the deals to be closed, but several
more in other towns of the state are pending
and some surprises will be felt in some
cities when the facts become known. This
leaves northwestern Iowa at the mercy Of
the corporation, as the local company was
the only one in competition. Iowa has sew
enty Independent companies.

In this estimate it will be seen that moth
ing is appropriated for city buildings and
elections. 1t is figured that no repairs are
needed in the city hall and there will be
no city election in 1901. The expense of
the election to be held next month is in
cluded in the appropriation made last April.
Both the police and fire departments will
have to get along with decreased appro-
priations. In the case of the fire depart
ment ii will mean a smaller expenditure for
equipment and in the case of the police
department it will mean the curtailment of
the force. In view of this decreased appro-
priation for the police department there
will be little chance for the appointment
of a matron for the city Jail. In discussing
this, Mayor Jennings favors appointing some
responsible woman, living near the Jail, who
could be called upon when needed and paid
for such time as she would be actually en-
ployed. The arrest of female prisoners,
where the services of a matron are needed,
does not frequently occur, and Mayor Jen-
nings says that with such a plan the eX-
pense of a matron need not exceed $50 per
annum, even if it reaches that figure.

A petition is being circulated among the
members Of the local bar asking the repre-
sentatives from this county to introduce at
the present session of the state Legislature
a bill providing "A penalty for practicing law
without having been admitted to practice in
the courts of this state. The purpose of the
bill is to prevent attorneys from other states
oncroaching on the business of the local
practitioners. The bill as proposed pro-
vides that any person practicing without hav-
ing been admitted to practice in this state
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and that it shall be the duty of the county
attorney to see that the law is enforced and
10 prosecute all violators thereof. Some of
the attorneys to whom the petition was pre-
scented yesterday are in favor of certain
amendments and a meeting of the Bar asso-
citation will probably be called in the near

Court Defncs Position of Man En-
gagged in Sailing Liquors.

-"
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Feb. 10.-(Special Tele-
am.)-Judge Gaynor, in the district court
of Woodbury. county, gave a very ~forceful
opinion on the present mulct as differing
with the prohibitory law, in ruling on a
case which had been commenced against the
Sioux City Brewing company. The court
says under the present condition of the law
a defendant charged with an offense, as in
this case, stands in a different position from
what he would under the law as it stood be-
foro the passage of this mulct law. The
mulct law practically invites a man to en-
gage in this business under certain con-
ditions and agrees to hold him harmless in
the event he complies with all its conditions.
Under the decision Of the supreme court
the fact that a man engages in the business
Of selling Intoxicating liquors is prima facie
evidence that he Is guilty OF a violation of
the prohibitory law. In other words, he
is invited TO enter the business and the
moment ho does so every act done by him
in the way of selling or handling liquors,
though in strict conformity with the provi-
sions of the mulct law, is prlma ia, lie evil
dence that he is guilty OF a violation of the
prohibitory law and ~justiiies a court in
finding him guilty unless he can by "A pre-
ponderance of evidence extract himself by
showing that he has strictly complied with
all the requirements of the mulct law,

Bill introduced to Regulate and Restrict
Building and Loan Associations
CoSC rms ARE CONSIDERED ROBBERS
bill Has Created Great Excitement
Among the BuiIding aud Loan Wen
Number Of other Bills sub
mittcd to the senate.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 10.-(Special Tcle-
sfamJ-One of the biggest building and loan
lobbies in Iowa is expected to flock into Des
Moincs very shortly rs the result OF the
sweeping measure introduced in the low
senate today, proposing to regulate and re-
strict these concerns as they have never
been regulated and restricted in the state
before. The bill introduced today was pre-
sented by Senator Healy. chairman of the
senate building and loan committee. by re
quest.
II is the outgrowth of a prevailing scnti-
mCnt that the business methods Of these
concerns are carried on on a plan very
similar to highway robbery. The friends of
the measure say that Iowa is the only state
in the United States which fosters a big
building and lean association paying its ex-
penses out Of fixed charges upon the mem
bership Of the association and to remedy
this 1t is proposed by the above measure to
require the payment of all expenses OF these
concerns out of the earnings of the concerns,
thus placing them upon the same footing
with other corporations, such as banks. in
surance companies, etc. This is by far the
most important provision of the bill, but
another and equally sweeping one is that to
remove the temptation of keeping high sal
AIRED officers on the pay rolls of these asso-
Citations by limiting the salaried officers to
two at an annual income of not to exceed
SO, 200 per year.
Another provision is that agents employed
by the building and loan concerns may re-
ceive payment only for time actually en-
ployed in the transaction of the business of
the corporation by which employed. The
measure has caused widespread comment
and Will be bitterly fought by the
building and loan men of the state.
There is another measure in the house pro-
viding for the establishment Of a building
and loan department in the state and the
whole question of building and loan interests
in Iowa is likely to have a general airing
before the session is through. In ten days
the attorney general is expected to report
to the assembly upon the questions as to the
needed amendments to the laws asked of
him by the senate and his answers may
open up some sensational features on the
subject.

The question of submitting the beneft
system of taxing improvements to abut prop
erty for the front foot rule, was opened III
in the senate today, under consideration OF

involved in the measure relating to paving

of the above material, providing that they
shall not cost more than 80 cents per lineal

little more than that there is a vast diff
ference of opinion upon the subject and the
bill was made a special order for next
Wednesday at 1890.

port of the expenditures of all the state
