Minnesota Has a Very Good Law
OF This Kind Now in
Operation.
Special to rimes-Republican.


Des Moines, Dec. 1s.-Judge G. S.
Robinson, of Sioux City, member of the
state board of control, today read be-
fore the state conference of heads of
state institutions, an important paper
in which he took advanced ground in
favor of law in Iowa similar TO the
Minnesota law providing for state
agent to investigate cases of depend
ents shipped into the state and those
belong to this state.
There should be an officer of board"
declared Judge Robinson. sin each
state charged with the duty of ascer-
tanning the actual legal settlement of
every dependent person in the state
where such settlement is questioned.
with power to cooperate with similar
officials of other states. and to cause
such persons to be sent TO their places
ceived in the proper place or institution
in the state for which the agent or
board acts 1t would we well to give to
ESISou OF tTlOulldl lHe power VI
reviewing the orders made in such
cases. If each state was to provide for
this or some other similar method of
determining the residence or fixing the
responsibility for the maintenance of
dependents, much suffering which is
now caused by neglect or delays result
ing from the efforts to avoid RESPONSE
bill, would be avoided, needed relief
would be more promptly given and the
sufferinss of defective humanity would
be lessened.''
The views OF Judge Robinson met
with cordial and hearty approval not
only from the state board OF control but
from the superintendents of institu-
tions. The state of Iowa has done very
little along this line. Those who are
charged with the duty of enforcing the
present law are but seldom called on
for action and they act slowly. The
Minnesota law was referred to as one
meeting the requirements of all the
states. providing an officer to have spe-
cial charge of all this work with full
authority to act as seems best for the
insane, paupers or others.

Rlanco displayed. Blanco did a great deal
for Venezuela and a great deal for Blanco.
He was practically an absolute monarch,
as Castro is; but Blanco was content to
hold Venezuela. in the grasp Of his strong
hand and did not look beyond her borders,
finding quite enough to do at home. He
scattered great statues Of himself all over
the country and gave to himself the title

of Venezuela Castro decree himself no
titles, erects no statues Of himself, but
he rules with ali the despotism and re-
morselessness of Blanco and seeks to
build himself a monument in the shape Of

was a wandering outlaw whose life would
have been sacrificed had the people in
power caught him. He was only an ordi-
