BAD FOR THE "MOOCHER."
Proposed Legislation That WouId Put
Him Out Of Business.

Sioux City, Nov 2O-Ned Jenness.
chairman of the Woodbury. county re-
publican committee and veteran poll
tician, is preparing a bill to be pre-
scented to the legislature in January,
which, if passed, will wipe out many of
the evils of American politics in Iowa.
Jenness proposes to make it crime for
a candidate to give away money, cigars
or liquor, or for any voter to accept
them. He would disqualify the candi
date from holding office, fine him or
send him to jail.
He would do away with the running
of free hacks to haul voters to the polls,
but would have aged or infrm voters
hauled at public expense. Moreover, he
would disfranchise for five years a vOt-
er who; without good excuse, refrains
from voting because he is too lazy to
walk to the polls. To encourage vot
ing, he would levy a heavy polltax and
remit most of it to those who exer.
cised the right of suffrage.
A section of the bill will provide for
limitation of expenditures of candidates.
He proposes a sliding scale as follows:
State officers, $500; congressional, $500;
county, 5000; township, 800. Lastly,
he will ask that registration be thirty
days before election, to bar ''foaters."
