FOR MINORITY TO RULE

Des Moines, Ia, April ga meet
ing of the legislative committee of the
Iowa State Anti-Saloon league was held
here yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of preparing for legislative work
before the Legislature at it's next SEES
sion. The committee consists Of Rev.
III. III. Abrams, Iowa City, superintend-
ent of enforcement work for the league,
chairman of the committee; Rev. /. N.
McCash, Rev. A. c. Douglas, w. N.
Dunshee and j. G. Olmsted, all of Des
Mcines. The committee agreed upon
urging before the Legislature an i'm
portant bill relating to the legalizing
of saloons under the mulct law in Iowa.
This would be to fix limit of the dur
alton of the consent given under the
petitions AT present where a certain
proportion of the freeholders give their
consent to establishment of saloons in
a county such saloons were made legal
and the penalties of the prohibitory law
are not applied. and this continues for
an indefinite time. There is now no
way of securing reconsideration of.
the decision. The anti-saloon league
desires that u limit of three years shall
De given to the consent, but this limit
is TO be applied only where at least %
per cent. of the freeholders protest
against longer continuance of the IL
cense. Where this protest is made in
proper time the consent will expire at
the end of three years and a new petit
tion of consent will be required 1t is
pointed out that this is an opportunity
to test the public sentiment in those
counties where the matter is close and
yet II VIII not require any new petition
IN counties That are Overwhelmingly for
saloons under the Iowa mulct law.

says for the week ending April 20:
The week began and ended with cool.
wet and cloudy weather. The daily aver
age temperature was from to A degrees
below normal. and several mornings
the minimum was at the frost line. ON
the average the conditions were favorable
for field work about half the week, and
some progress has been made In seeding
and preparations for planting. The
amount of rainfall has not been excessive
except In limited portions of the eastern
districts. but in all sections many fields
or parts of fields are still too wet for
seeding or blowing. The continuance of
wet and cloudy weather will unquestion-
ably tend to reduce the acreage OF cereals
to some extent as compared with recent
dry years. In the northern section the re-
ports indicate that seeding is about one
