saloons promptly at 10 o'clock and
remain outside until s o'clock In the
morning, according to decision
handed down by the supreme court.
The bartenders cannot even remain
behind locked doors to count the
cash or wash the last glasses.
Associate Justice Ladd wrote the
decision of the supreme court, in
which he says on the subject of clos.
ing at 10 o'clock:
IF the proprietor or employees re-
main, even though the door be fast
ened, how shall it be known that
others are not also there? If they
may open the saloon to leave they
may do so to enter. If they can
leave or enter together they may do

This decision came III the case OF

habit of remaining in his sa Don about
fifteen minutes after the 10 o'clock
closing hour to count his cash. Other
wise he ran his saloon according to
the strict letter of the mulct law. He

CLOSE SALOONS AT e:52,
Mayor Of Des Moines Issues an Order

Mayor Of Des Moines Issues an Order
To That Effect.
Des Moines.--Mayor George w.
Mattern has labored through the
long decision Of the supreme court
relative to closing saloons up tight
at 10 o'clock and as a result he mott.
fled his chief Of police to have saloons
keepers to put their clocks ahead
eight minutes so that saluons in the
city will really close at 9:52 p. m.
instead of 10 O'Clock. The time will
be 10 O'Clock by the ticker which Is
scanned so diligently about the clos.
ing hour, but the timepiecc will be
set to deceive the last drnker out
OF the last eight minutes. The mayor
feels that 1t is impossible for the
saloon men to check up, count cash
and scrub out in less than eight min
utes. The state law absolutely pro-
hibits anyone from being inside the
saloon after 20 O'Clock. The recent
decision of the supreme court says
that not even the owner nor the bar
tender may be in the saloon after it
is 10 o'clock. There is some work
which must be done after the drinkers
co. said Mayor Mattern. 1.-THE only
way around the matter is to put the
cocks ahead and close a few minutes
earlier. That is the ORDER

LONG AND SHORT HAUL BILL
Governor Gives His Reasons for
Vetoing the Measure

| Governor Gives His Reasons for
Vetoing the Measure
Des Moines.-Governor Cummfns
has vetoed the long and short haul"
bill passed by the legislature.
He held hearing on the measure,
and had given the bill careful consid-
Grafton since the adjournment of the
assembly a month ago. He prepared
a statement in vetoing the measure
which gives his reasons for adverse
action
This statement goes on file with
the secretary of state, in company
with the vetoed bill. 1t is, in part,
as follows:
I'm my message to the Thirty-first
general assembly l recommended
some modification of this section as
to passenger rates, but not as to
freight rates. l have given the most
careful consideration to the bill, be-
cause am always reluctant to ex
ercise the power of veto vested in me
been restricted to passenger rates it
would be unobjectionable, but the intrr.
duction Of freight makes so radi-
cal change in the law as it has ex-
listed in this state for eighteen years
that am not prepared to approve
it.
1T may be gravely questioned
whether the long line should have the
opportunity to make lower rate be-
tween competing points than it makes
on other like distances of its SYSTEM
inasmuch as the tendency would be
to discourage the building, In the fu.
ture, of short lines between promi
nent places. But even II the doubt
were resolved in favor of the long
line, the bill before me Is objection
able in that it is optional, instead of
mandatory, and in that it would al.
low the long line to select a partfcu.
lar commodity and make the short
line rate upon it, and retain the long
line rate on other commodities.
'The subject is an intricate and
complicated one, and although it may
be that our present law can be bet
tered, am of the opinion that any
proposed modification should be fully
discussed before the appropriate
committees of the general assembly,
and carefully considered in debate
before it Is made.
Il am constrained. therefore, to re-
turn you the bill without my ap-
prevail"
