SAYS IOWA Pure
STOCK FOOD LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Manufacturers Claim II Is Dis
criminatory and Will Fight
1t in the Courts.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 16.-Frank F.
Reed, general counsel for the Millers'
National federation, says that the
Iowa pure stock food law Is unconstltu-
tional and it is understood that the
federation will fight the Iowa law. he
claims that 1T is unconstitutional DO
cause 1t makes a discrimination be-
tween stuff manufactured without the
state and hat manufactured within
the state. 1t Is said the manufacturers
will endeavor to conform to the led
eral law and escape the state laws as
being burdensome and difficult to com
ply with.
The Iowa pure stock food law Is the
only one hat Attorney Reed finds Is
Unconstitutional. Ii went into effect
July 4, but in reality will not be fully
in effect till some time later because the
manufacturers are given till fall to pay
the 500 license fee. For that reason
the state food and dairy commissioner
cannot proceed till the expiration of the
time for paying the fee. 1t is expected
then that a test suit will be started.
In letters to the commissioner, manu-
facturers have indicated that they will
seek the %injunction courts.
The lows Law exempts some Iowa
products from paying the inspection fee
but not from being Inspected, While
the same products Of other states must
pay the fee and be inspected both.
Attorney Reed says in his opinion:
Indeed, it is a close question whether
this particular exception would invali-
date the statute ever as to these ar
t~icleS."

LEGISLATURE MAY
MAKE CORPORATION
OFFICERS LIABLE
Measure to Prevent Breaking q
Statutes Will Likely Be In
troduced Next Session.

Des Moi1ies, Ia, Aug. 19.-The next
move in legislation relating to the COR
po%rations may be to arrange for GRIM
mai proceedings against the officers OF
corporations and SO amend the laws
that officers canno shirk their re-
sponsibility and avoid prosecution by
claiming that they had nothing to do
with the violation of the law and that
IL the law was violated at all it was
lone by some irresponsible clerk in the
office.
Members of the legislature and pub
lie men generally are discussing the
matter to some extent and it is not I'M
likely that a law along that line may be
presented at the next session OF the
legislature.
Under the present laws criminal
prosecution of an officer of a corpora
ton is not impossible. 1t is quite pos
sible but very difficult of accomplish
ment. The corporation can be convict
ed of all sorts Of crimina practices n
can be fined for SO doing, but it cannot
be put in Jail, and oftentimes can go
on breaking the law and paying fines
INC making a profit at it.
toned by public men and the press that
crimina prosecution of the officers with
a penitentaary sentence would soon stop
much of the breaking of the criminal
corporation statutes.

M%uscatine, Ia, Aug. 20.-A mo-
ern Dlogenes with a family has
made his appearance in Musca-
tine.
Diogenes lived in a tub, but
this man and his family live in
two drygoods boxes which he
thoughtfully provided as a home
for his family.
About a month ago Andrew
Leedy arrived from the south
and started looking about for
a home. He picked a vacant lot
on the edge of the city for the
site. He and his family, com
posed of a wife and five children,
now have a piano box for a par
lor, a furniture crate for a front
porch. a dry goods box for a din
ing room and ditto for a kitchen.
The family sleep in the parlor
during the night on shelves on
the wall. For a bathtub they
have Mad creek which runs
close to their domicile, but they
hardly ever disturb it's placid
waters by taking a bath.
He has Diogenes of old beaten
a mile on philosophy.
