Special to Times-Republlcan.
Sioux City, Nov. 25.-The need of
several new laws for the proper conduct
Of municipal business, has been de-
cided upon by the special legislative
committee of the city council of Sioux
City, and Senator John H. Jackson and
Representative Chris N. Jepson will
be asked to present the proposed
amendments to the state legislature.
1t Is proposed to compel public
utility corporations to make sworn
statements Of their receipts and ex-
penditures. The Iowa statutes give
city councils power to regulate the
rates of gas, electricity and other
commodities for public use, but no
provision is made for the accumula-
ton of data upon which to base the
rates. Alderman Stason, chairman Of
the legislative committee, has been
conducting campaign against the
Sioux City Gas and Electric Company,
on the ground that it has been furnish
ing the public poor quality Of gas, and
the outcome Of this campaign.
The committee recommends that the
appointments to positions on the po-
lice force and the fire department be
made on the basis of civil service ex-
aminations. The law already provides
that this rule prevail in cities Of more
than 10000, but it Is the belief of tho
committee that it should apply to the
many other cities in the state, of re-
spectacle proportions.
1t is recommended that the salary
of park commissioners be reduced from
maximum of $500 year to $50 a
year. Since the official population of
Sioux City was announced as more
than 10000, which will necessitate the
election OF park commissioners, num-
erous seekers for private snaps" have
been laying the wires for election as
park commissioner, and the proposed
reduction Of salary is intended to con-
fine the officeseekers to men who have
the interests of the city and the city's
pleasure spots at heart.
1t is further urged that cities be
given the right to appoint building in
spectors. The need of such an Off
cial has been felt In. Sioux City more
particularly during the past summer.
Because Of last winters fire there has
been more building in few months
than the town has seen for years, and
it is feared that not the greatest care
and precaution We're exercised in some
of the work. The building inspector

sportsmanlike game that is now being
played. The Objectionable features of
the Rugby game cannot be done away
or the game would have been freed
from these qualities before this. The
college authorities are very generally
agreed that since the game cannot be
reformed 1t should be abolished but no
college seems willing to take the lead
in barring it. 1t is possible that the
high school authorities may take rad
ical action before another season as the
bad effects of the game in the high
school here have been particularly mo-
ticeable this season. If the feeling
freely expressed by many of the par
ents of high school players Is general,
hearty support will be given the school
board if it abolishes the Rugby game.

would, be expected to keep records and
statistics of building affairs that would
be Of both interest and value.
AS the statutes make no direct pro-
vision for the. appointment Of a sue
cessor for the mayor when that Off
cial is detained from office by sickness
or absence, or removed by death, a
statue to cover this point is recon-
mended.
The committee sees need for the
amendment OF the laws for levying
special health funds and collecting
special assessment certificates. No
definite changes recommended, how
ever,
Alderman sstason himself favors
reduction of the number OF members
of city councils, but the committee
as a whole made no such recommen-
.dation on this point. Instead of hav-
ing ten aldermen in city like Sioux
City, eight of whom are elected by tneir
respective wards and two by the peo-
pie at large, Mr.. Stason would nave
only five aldermen, all to be elected

Keo,kuk, Nov. 25.--The run on the

it opened and asked for their deposits.
The arrival of four wagon loads of sill

the bank and when 1t became apparent

Grinnell, Nov. 25.-The Iowa College
foot ball team surprised itself and Its
followers by running up a score OF 70
TO against Simpson yesterday after
noon at the Ward field. The play
was hard and at all times interesting
and the Simpson team was by no
means so badly outclassed as the score
would indicate. This game closed the
season for the college. The team
which promised so much when Drake
was defeated ranks third in the state
at the close Of the season. Both Ames
and the State University have very
strong teams and the Grinnell boys
ale very we'll satisfied with their
seasons work in spite OF the so1ne-
what erratic record made. The high
school game with East Des Molnes
closed the high school season. The
game was to have been played at Des
Moines but on account Of the wholly
unsuitable condition Of the Des MONIES
grounds arrangements were made yes
terday to play here. 1t is hoped by
many lovers of reasonable athletic
sports that Iowa College will take
stand for the substitution of associa-
ton foot ball for the Rugby game here
after. No severe injuries have been re-
.ceived by Grinnell players this season;
so that sentiment here is not crystal

Des Moines, Nov. 25.-As the time
for the legislature to meet apprc aches,
it becomes more and more evident
that the primary bill will occupy the
place Of chief Importance and interest
during the session.
The certainty that the anti-pass bill
will go through without difficulty re-
moves that piece of important legis-
lation from general consideration. No
one now entertains any doubt of the
outcome Of the measure. Indeed, there
are indications that there will be a
foot race among the members to see
which can introduce the first bill and
get his name recorded for the propo-
sition ahead of his fellows.
This fact is significant. 1t is evil
dence that the railroads propose to
abandon antagonism to measures
which they would naturally fight Ia
order to centralize their efforts against
the primary bill. They are willing to
allow the anti-pass bill and all of the
other proposed legislation affecting
them go by the board in order to make
a center rush against the line Of those
who will fight for the primary meas
ure.
The outcome of the fight for this bill
is going to demonstrate in general
way the extent to which the railroad
influence dominates the coming legis-
lature.
Governor Cummins is himself giving
consideration to the provisions of a
primary elections bill. He and all Of
his friends are eager for the adoption
of the measure. In general way all
Of the standpatters and the railroad
influences and the federal patronage
fellows are opposed to 1t. OF course
there are exceptions among the latter.
