1t Might Help Here.

DeS Moines, March l7-BY a vote Of
36 to 0 the senate today passed the
Dunham bill for uniform account
ing system in all cities of the state
and for the examination and auditing
of the accounts of all cities by exami-
ners from the office of the state audi
tor. The bill is one endorsed and in
troduced at the request of the iowa
League Of municipalities. In arguing
for the bill today Senator Dunham
said that an examination of the books
of the city of Des Moines revealed
that the accounts had not been ex-
amined and audited for nine years and
and the examining committe was un-
able to balance the books within $780,
900.
He claimed that in not more than
one out of fifteen of all the cities and
towns of the state could person with
out days of labor find out the total
amount of Indebtedness of the city or
town. The bill provides that the state
auditor call together committee Of
five accounting officials of the cities
of the state and with their advice and
assistance shall formulate uniform
system of accounting and all cities Of
the Gtate shall thereafter use the sys-
tenn. Regular inspections and other
provisions are made for enforcing the
law.
Is CreSco one of the Ia of the Is
Iowa towns above mentioned. Such
would seem to be the case as it is a
notorious fact that for the past few
years the public has not been inform
ed of the city's Indebtedness, although
last year s report shows payment of
$40 fov interest, which certainly indi
Gates the existence of a debt. A
section in the amended code of Iowa
makes it mandatory upon the council
to publish an annual statement of all
receipts and expenditures of the city,
ALL ACCOUNTS DUE THE
PUBLIC, but not collected, and a
STATEMENT IN DETAIL of the
cost of operation and income of each
public utility owned by the city.
Further, 'Said report shall SHOW
IN DETAIL the ENTIRE PUBLIC
DEBT of such municipality.
Said report shall be published annual.
ly at the close of the fiscal year in AT
LEAST TWO PAPERS of general
circulation. With the exception OF
an unsatisfactory and abbreviated
summary of the receipts and expendi
lures of the city, published officially
In one paper, NO PART OF Tbs
SECTION of the code has been com
piled with by the present city admin
istration. Is 1T because they DON'T
KNOW about it, as Senator Dunhan
suggests, or because they know bu
don't want to show it up?

Table Of Births for 1905 Affords Inter
esting Comparisons Sixth Ward, on
" Half as Populous as Fifth, Had as
Many Arrivals and First Ward Beats
j Second.

Sociologists might draw many deduc-
tions from the table of births for the
year 1905, completed yesterday by the
health department for the annual re-
port. It shows as has frequently been
pointed out, that the stork is not a fav-
orite in the habitations of the rich and
well-to-do, but prefers to make its Wis
its to the homes of the humber ele-
ments of the community.
Striking illustration of this Is shown
by figures from neighboring wards, the
Fifth and the Sixth-each Of which in
the past year contributed the same num-
Der to the population. Yet the Sixth
ward is only little more than half
as populous as the Fifth.
Again, the First and Second wards
divided by Central avenue show sig
niicant difference. The two wards are
not far apart in the census figures, but
in the birth returns the First ward,
peopled most heavily by wage earners,
shows up with 425 infants and the in
tellectual Second with only 176, the
smallest record in the city in this re,
spect. The Second ward has about twice
the population of the Thirteenth, but
is way behind even that outlaying dis.
trict in the number Of little strangers
of the 1905 model. The Ninth ward
tho fifth in population, is strong
second in the number Of infants. Had
the entire city done as we'll as the First
ward, the number of births last yea1
would have been $500 instead of 4,561

GOVERNOR WILL VISIT
= STATE INSTITUTIONS
Entire Month Of March Will Be Given
r. to Inspection.

Governor John A. johnson announced
his intention yesterday of setting aside
the entire month of March for visiting
state institutions. The governor will
make these visits in his official chap
pacity, and because he believes it. to
be the duty of a governor to visit per
sonally every state institution at least
once in two years. 49,. e..
|SThere are over twenty state insti-
tutions," said he, "and to visit them
will take at least month. I do not
intend to do the thing in a rush, but
will make such Investigations and in
spections at each place as I believe
Should be done by the chief executive
Of the state and such, as will give
myself satisfaction.
"In these visits, wishs ito take with
me a member of the state board of
control. On different trips a different
member of the board will be with me
as fits into the convenience of the
board s work. But having one of then
with me, I will always have a source
of information at hand relative to the
institutions, for the board of control
has supervision of all except the uni
Yersity and normals. - " .s.-s =.

John Hermann has. throttled super

guished gentlemen who sit on the
Chop bench' at the West hotel and

The peculiar circumstance is that
hitherto John has led the humdrum
life of the average bellboy. Since he
has changed his number large, round

tiers. He attends to the writing and
reading room on the parlor floor and
is reaping the financial reward of hav'
