those DESTROYS Of limiting the business
to state Institutions or Institutions In
spected by the state is that the nature
of the business from the fact that the
persons who seek the shelter of such
institutions desire secrecy, there is an
unlimited opportunity FOR blackmail
when they are run by private persons
who are seeking to make all the money
they can
The private institutions that have
been run in such cities as Sioux City
Des Moines. Dubuque and other places,
that heretofore were partly supported
by the state. have, it is claimed, been
free from scandal and improper man
agement. They are charitable institu-
tions and not money makers. But pri-
vate institutions have sprung up like
mush rooms in this city. They are
started in residences scattered about
the city. A want advertisement In the
daily papers soon brings business and
the Humane Society has been kept busy
trying to keep track OF them.
1t is not improbable that in handling
the matter the legislature may limit
the business to certain institutions and
then provide for state support and in
spection of these.
