Tips to Walters Not iIIeuai.

On account of the impression that
the Hambleton multiplying law would
prevent walters and Pullman car .por.
tels from accepting tips, inquiry has
been set on foot to find out the ex-
tent to which the so-called "anti-tip-
ping" measure went
Attorney General Byers Is authori-
ty for the statement that the law
does not cover the ordinary clips"
given walters and other persons un-
der like conditions and applies only
to those transactions in which an
agent Is influenced by a commission
in making a deal for his principal.
On account of the fear that the
measure as originally passed might
interfere with commissions charged
on real estate transactions and
money loaned for instance, on the
last day an amendment was enacted
in the form of separate chapter of
the assembly to remedy the defect.
1t took thirty minutes to pass this
amendment through both houses.
1t Is understood that this is the
law in Massachusetts or Connecticut.
where it has been on the statute
books for several years. Senator
Thomas D. Healy when in the legis-
lature proposed similar measure.
Some question having arisen as to
whether the anti-pass law affects
street car companies, interurbans,
ETC., on account of the fact that they
are not specifically named in the act,
inquiry at the Office of the attorney
general disclosed the fact that in a
legal sense every public concern
which undertakes to carry passen-
gers for hire comes within the inhi.
bition of the law.
1t provides that mo common car.
rier of passengers" shall issue free
transportation, etc. That Is con-
strued to take in street car compa-
MES as well as railroads and inter.
urbans.
Governor Cummins has signed the
bill and 1t Is a law, going into effect
July 4.

, QO g
The Legislature Adiourns.

The Legislature Adjourns.
Des NOTES.-THE Iowa state legis-
lature adjourned on the 9th. About
ESQ laws were made by it. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that no legislature OF
this state ever passed SO many i'm
portant measures and no assembly In
any state of the union ever ad-
Journed with as many laws, classed
as reform legislation, to Its credit.
Among the achievements of the as
sembly was series of laws calcu-
lated to divorce the politics of the
people from the control Of the cor
porations.
The primary elections law is the
chief one of these measures. 1t gives
the people the right to vote In secret
and to have their votes counted for
the nomination of the man of their
choice for public office from United
states senator down.
Senator Peterson's bill to prohibit
corporations from contributing to the
campaign funds Of political parties
and to the campaign Of candidates
Tor office, both before primaries and
the general election, supplements the
primary bill.
The anti-pass law goes farther than
the federal statute. Under this law
the Influential citizen will no longer
receive pass, while his less influen-
tial neighbor pays full fare on the
railroads. Only men who are en-
ployed chiefly on the railroads can
ride on passes and certain excepted
classes such as employees, stock ship
pers, ministers, etc.
Hand in hand with the law abolish
Ing passes the assembly handed to the
people of the state a law requiring
the railroads to charge not to exceed
cents mile for passengers. At
the same time the legislature enacted
a law giving the state railroad COM
mission the power to revise all of the
freight rate schedules.
The commission also has been au-
thorized by the assembly to fix the
speed OF stock and other freight
trains in Iowa. The commission mas
been given power to fix express
charges. also.
The legislature has vitalized the
antitrust laws of Iowa. They have
been unconstitutional hitherto.
The legislature gave some attention
to specific matters affecting corpora
tions, too. Representative Paul Still.
man got through bill to prohibit all
sorts Of grain combinations and Sen
ator Joe Mates got through the kin
dred bill to stop bucket shopping in
Iowa.
An anti.tipping bill by Hambleton
which will stop the Pullman porter
and the waiter from taking tip AMI
will prevent the agent of a business
house or a public officer from accept.
Ing commission from a purchaser
or seller for completing deal with
his employer, was passed.
In this connection comes the Saun-
ders law which prohibits corporations
from making false or exaggerated re-
ports concerning the value of their
stocks or property and will put stop
to the exploitation of fake schemes.
More important, however, Is the Pet
erson law to require all corporations
to have paid up capital stock. This
effectively squeezes the water out OF
the stocks of corporations organized

roosevelt Resolution Releeted.

Representative Holmes resolution
indorsing President Roosevelt for an.
other term was rejected in the house
committee on federal relations, the
opposition being on the ground that
the general assembly of Iowa was not
the proper place for resolutions of
that character.
Well known republican members
took the stand that had the resolu.
ton been offered in a caucus of the
republican members of the house or
had 1t merely Endorsed the actions OF
the president. they would have sup.
ported 1t.
Members of the Eleventh cavalry

Reform School Head RESIGNS.

Announcement has been made at
the office of the state board of con-
troll that Col. l.. D. Drake, superin-
tendent OF the Industrial school for
boys at Eldora, has retired from the
position and the board will immedi-
ately select his successor. While the
board declined to give out details
concerning the change, the impress
sion was gained that the relations
between the board and Colonel Drake
had not been entirely satisfactory
No charges are made by the board.

Anti.Pass Bill Passes.

The Thirty -second general assem-.
bly, passed an anti-pass law which Is
a stronger statute than that passed
by the congress of the United States,
for it takes from local attorneys and
local surgeons the pass which has
been charged with potency in politics.
II was not obtained without a
struggle, but at the last moment the
hearts of opponents failed them and
with but two dissenting votes in the
senate, which has been the conserva-
tive body, the bill was made into a
law.
Local attorneys and local surgeons
will no longer enjoy the favor of free
transportation in Iowa, though for
practically three months the fight to
save these passes went on in the
upper body of the legislature. At one
time the bin was defeated because
Of this limitation, but on reconsidera-
ton senators who had voted against
the measure relented and while they
still thought the prohibition an un-
just discrimination they were not
prepared to bear the burden of de.
feat of all anti-pass legislation by the
Thirty-second general assembly.

Demurrase Bill Killed.

Demurrage Bill Killed.
The state senate turned down the
hnal effort to secure legislation affect
ing the car scarcity situation in Iowa.
IL defeated the Lowrey house bill
urged by Allen, which was designed
10 force the roads to equip them
selves with sufficient cars and loco
motives to handle the freight offered
them under ordinary conditions.
The present law requires railroads
TO furnish cars when within its
power to do So" The Whiting bill
burGen of proof as to power to do
So" must be borne by the railroad in
case of failure to furnish cars. The
Lowrey-Allen bill provided for strik-
ing out of the statute the words
when within its power to do So"
leaving 1t necessary for the roads on
uemand to furnish the requisite cars.
The argument of Senators Allen,
peterson and others was that the
roads have a contractuai relation
with the public to furnish the requi-
site number of cars to do the bust
ness the carriers pretend to be ready
TO do, and should be required to do
it.
Health Men Fear Meningitis.
Fearing the spread of meningitis
IN Iowa, the state board of health
voted to request the executive coun-
Gil to authorize committee of the
board to investigate the prevalence C
the disease In southern Iowa ans
northern Missouri.
Information has reached the board
that the disease has appeared in
Appanoose county and Is making its
terrors felt in northern Missouri, and
at the meeting of the board at the
capitol 1t was decided that t, best
thing to do would be to take steps
in prevention of the spread of the
plague.
Meningitis is now understood by
the physicians to be communicable
and the possibility Of TRANSMISSION
from animal to man is recognized.
The board named as committee to
conduct the investigation, IL author
lied by the executive council, Doc
tors Hanchett, Elker, Decker and
Moerke, together with State Veteri-
marian Paul o. Koto.
If the inquiry is undertaken the
committee will determine the extent
of the danger of the spread of the
disease, the necessary steps to pre-
vent it's entry into Iowa, either by
quarantine or some other restrictive
measures.

To Check Up Colleges.

An investigation of the extent TO
which the medical colleges of the
state are complying with the reg,,la.
lions OF the state board of medical
examiners as to preliminary require

meeting OF that boara. The office Of
the board at the cacitol Is totally un-
informed on this question:, no record

Eiker were made the committee to
undertake the investigation. No sus-
picion attaches to the colleges, but
the investigation was decided to be
desirable at this time.
