Looking to Iowa.
The state of New York is now look
ing to the state of Iowa for pointers
respecting the management Of state
institutions. Gov. Odell has written to
the Iowa board to secure information
from it with reference to the methods
used by it in The management Of this
states institutions. The impression
has prevailed that the Iowa law was
copied after the New York law, and
the fact that New York now looks to
Iowa is matter for state pride. The
Iowa system was taken in part from
the New York system. it is true, but
there are number of improvements
and changes In New York there nre
several boards for the different kinds
| of institutions. In Iowa there is sim
; gle board for them ALL except the ed
| ucational institutions. which no one be-
lieves should be placed under board
| of control. 1t is understood that Gov.
Odell of New York. wishes to reduce
| if possible, and. while, the Iowa board
| does not give out information con-
| corning his correspondence with It, 1t
| is beIived that he seeks information
on which to base movement toward
the elimination of superhuous boards
in New York
Fish Licenses.
State Fish Commissioner and Game
| Warden George \. Lincoln has had
| printed licenses made, authorizing the
| holder to seine for soft fish. They will
| be issued to persons who make appG-
| cations for them and these persons,
accompanied by a deputy fish commits
sioner, will be permitted to take carp
gar and other soft fish from thewaters
returning to the water from their nets
all game fish which may be taken IL
the SEEMING. 1t is to insure this lattel
precaution that the fish commissioner
will send deputies with the men who
hold SEEMING privileges. 1t is probable
| that gangs of men will be organized to
seine for the undesirable fish for the
| purpose of cleaning ont the public wa
tiers of the state in order to give the
game fish chance The theory is that
the soft fish feed upon the spawn o;
the game fish.
