Plumbers May Be Licensed.

An effort will be made by the
state board of health to bring the
plumbers of Iowa under its jurisdic-
ton at the coming session of : the
legislature. This plan is based on
the relation which exists between
plumbing and health. Cities have
tried regulation of the plumbing bust
ness, but without avail 1t has de-
veloped that the state board of health
entertains the idea that 1t can cope
with the problem. The plan con-
templates placing the plumbers UNI
beard Of health, exactly as the en-
balmers of the state now are. They
would be compelled to pass examin-
ton and secure licenses before be-
ing allowed to operate on a bath tub
or water tap. Secretary Thomas Of
the state board of health said that
this was a serious matter and that
the board certainly would ask the
legislature to act. 1t Is q movement
in the interest Of sanitation. With
the state and the cities devoting their,
energies to securing pure food sup
plies and demanding pure milk, the
eradication Of tuberculosis from the
human and animal being, insisting on
clean streets, ETC., etc., the board be-
lieves that 1t is proper that the
source of much of the disease of the
state should be brought within the
purview of the law II the state
licenses plumbers, thus compelling
those who practice the profession, to
be competent, sanitation will be i'm
proved and good instead of bad
plumbing will contribute to the
health Of the people The reports
of the chemists en- the water sup
plies of the state show that 80 per
cent of them are contaminated with
sewerage. That means that the peo-
pie are drinking water filed with dis
ease germs. Licensing the plumbers
will have salutary effect on this
situation, 1t Is claimed.

oard Of Control Files Report.

Board OF Control Files Report.
Des Moines.-In its biennial re-
port filed with the governor the state
board of control recommends the ap-
preparation of s4O5,S5O by the leglsla-
ture for the existing state institu-
tons and $1,000 for the purchase of
land locking to the establishment of
an epileptic colony.
The appropriations asked by the
board are the smallest recommended
by II in ten years. Altogether the
Legislature is asked for $476,S50. The
important contemplated and neces-
sary expenditure relates to the cpl
leptic colony.
It's statement on this subject fol-
lows:
The number of insane in state hos.
pitfalls increased 234 during the last
biennial period, the number In pri-
vate institutions increased 3S and
the number In county institutions de-
creased 100, making a net increase
during the period in the institutions
referred to Of 172. 1t will be neces-
sary to provide accommodations for
a large additional number of insane
and feeble minded within a few
years. Insane epileptics require care
different from that needed by the in
sane who are not epileptics, and
could be cared for with the feeble
minded who are epileptics. There
are now in the four hospitals for tno
Insane and the institution for feeble
minded children 4SS epileptics. Itis,
therefore, recommended that a
colony for epileptics be established
at some convenient location in the
state, and that an appropriation for
the purchase of not fewer than GAO
acres of land be made to be avail
able during the current biennial per-

Following the meeting at the Saw.

in correspondence with officials of
the road. From time to time infor-

College Fights for Recognition.

Sohe9c T'9HtS lot neCoSnition.
The state board of medical examin-
ers Is facing long and unusual fight
over the recognition which shall be
paid the Sioux City Medical college,.
The school recently affiliated with the
South Dakota university at Vermil-
lion, but will maintain the institution
at Sioux City because of the clinical
facilities. The school, It is claimed,
had run down for the last few years
and that its work was not being &C
cepted by any medical school or any
state board of examiners. For a
school not to be accepted by the
board Of its own state Is almost fatal,
yet as but two years work Is being
done at Sioux City and the other two
at Vermillion, the state board must
either accept the two years or make
some mutual agreement with the
South Dakota board. Secretary Thorn
as CT the state board Of health Is
collecting correspondence upon the
matter to be laid before the state
board of examiners at the next meet
ing held in Des lIoines. Meanwhile q
committee is also investigating per-
sonally the equipment and resources
of the school under the new regime.
Pardon Board In Dilemma.
The filing of petition in the w.
A. Richards parole case, which has
been before the board of pardons for
several months, places w. H. Berry,
one Of the members, in a peculiar
position. MIR. Berry was one of the
attorneys who aided in the prosecu-
ton of the former deputy United
States marshal. The petition lust
added to the case consists of afida-
Wits that Baird, the man whose testi-
mony convicted Richards, has been
paroled, and that Sullivan, the man
who was robbed, has since committed
a felonious crime.

Favored Bank Prosecution.

Auditor of State B. F. Carroll does
not indorse the action of the authori-
ties of Marshall county in dismissing
the prosecutions against officers of
the Green Mountain Savings bank,
the indictments against whom have
been dismissed on account of the
liquidation of all of the obligations
OF the bank. Assuming that the
charges could be sustained, Auditor
Carroll declares that the prosecutions
should have been maintained. 1--WE
have had too much tampering with
banks in this state already" he said
yesterday, land 1t is my Judgment
that persons who will disregard the
trust reposed in them by depositors
ought to suffer the penalty of the
law" The auditor does net criticise
the authorities who dismissed the
suits in question, for he is not fami.
liar with the possibility Of convic-
tton, but he did not indorse such &C.
