TIE KEITz CASE.
Hardin County Citizenl

lHardln county CttlzenJ
The case of Bert Keltz has been the
subject Of considerable factional crit
icism and wrangling but factionalism
is often narrow between the eyes. It
is no great concern of eternity that
keltz has resigned his position or that
Carroll was in hot pursuit on his trail
There is one phase of it, however,
that is worthy of notice. The charge Of
Governor Carroll is that Keltz charged
for days when he did not work and it
seems sustained his position. 1t can
not be successfully contended that an
official should charge for services not
rendered and for this reason comes the
end of Keltz as pharmacy commission
err
But where does this end? Will Cow
ernor Carroll allow 1t to end?
A legislator is paid a certain amount
per year. 1t is not material whether it
Is large or small, for the principle is
the same that is involved. He misses a
day or a week or a month of the ses-
sion Should he draw full pay? What
would Governor Carroll say?
A county superintendent draws 81 a
day for every working day in the year.
Suppose some one should gather few
afidavits showing days that they did
not work. Should they draw full pay?
What would Governor Carroll say?
"A congressman Is home from WASH
ington for days, perhaps weeks, some
times months. Should he draw pay for
services not rendered? What would

be subjected to the tuberculin test
upon arrival, and as consequence ex-
porters from the United States have
had the test made on cattle intended
for shipment. The results of these tests
showed that in some OF the purebred
hreds nearly SO per cent of the ami
| mails were diseased and in consequence
sales were lost.
When the practice becomes general
for all buyers of breeding cattle to
have animals tested before placing
them in their herds the breeder OF
strictly healthy cattle will be much
sought after. Already some breeders
of purebred cattle have established or
are arranging to establish such herds.
AS soon as the breeders fully under
stand the fact that 1t is unprofita BILE
to go on breeding cattle while tuber-
culosis exists in their herds much of
the objection raised against the sale
of livestock subject to inspection will
disappear for it would be worth the
price of several condemned animals
for the owner of valuable herd to
Know the fact as early as possible if
the disease exists in his herd, as the
longer he delays in taking steps to
prevent its spread the greater will be
his loss eventually. Figures for the last
year secured from abattoirs where fed
eral inspection is maintained show that
over ten billion pounds of meat was
inspected, forty-six million pounds of
which We're condemned, nearly three
fourths being for tuberculosis.
The recent effort of the large pack
ing interests to buy all dairy COWS
subject to post-mortem inspection
shows how serious the plague is be-
coming. Sooner or later the man who
raises tuberculous animals must suf-
fer the loss, unless the loss is paid for
out Of public funds; and when the loss
is placed upon the producer we may
then know that the end of the disease
is in sight.
1t may at some time be necessary
for the federal government to quar-
antine against interstate shipments of
cows from certain states where the
disease prevails to considerable ex-
tent, and require a strict supervision
over all animals removed from such
states for interstate shipment, and
only remove the quarantine from sec
tons of the state when it has been
demonstrated that the disease either
has been eradicated or is under strict
local quarantine.

senators do not fear it. Now which

Iowa who have never made any money
to speak Of and have never been sus-
pected of buying other mems votes or
selling their own?

1t would be funny If 1t were not so
unfair to note the attitude of Iowa
papers toward Dolliver and Cummins.
For breaking with party managers at
Washington and shooting holes into
the tariff program Cummins has been
roundly denounced by papers that are
now praising Dolliver for the same
proceeding. On the other hand. edi-
tors who have lauded Cummins for his
independence of expression and his
championship of popular interests now
see little to commend in the senior
senator when he with high courage en-
tiers the lists in behalf of his coun-
trymen and his convictions and filings
his shining lance full and fair in the
face OF party leaders whose friendship
is of value inestimable in senatorial
relationship. 1t ought to warm the
cookies in the heart of every Iowa re-
publican. of every citizen of the state,
to behold the tendency on the part OF
our brilliant senators to do team work
in the interest of better political and
economic conditions.

SPEAKER FEELY AND THE UNSIGNED BILL

Speaker Feely has been criticized
and it would appear somewhat un-
justly-both by the Times Republican
and other newspapers for failure to
sign an important bill, an omission
which brought serious question as TO
its validity. 1t appears that the criti-
cism belongs properly upon the COM
1nittee on enrolled bills as the follow
ing explanation of legislative proceed
ure as regards bills makes evident
This is the process of manufacture
thru which law goes before it be-
! comes the finished product:
When a bill is introduced it is given
a number by the clerk and is immedi-
ately turned over 10 the chairman of
the committee to which the bill is re-
ferred. The committee acts upon the
bill and its chairman returns it to the
clerk of the house with the commit
tees report recommending either pas
sage or indefinite postponemenr. 1t
then goes upon the house calendar. but
remains in the possession Of the clerk.
When it is reached on the calendar it
is called up by the author or person
IN charge of the measure and If passed
by the house the clerk messages the
bill to the senate; if 1t IS passed there
it is messaged back to the house and
delivered TO the clerk. and he in turn
delivers it TO the enrolling clerk; after
DIT is enrolled 1t goes to the committee
on enrolled bills, and from that time
until it is delivered TO the governor it
is under the immediate control of the
committee on enrolled bills.
It is that committees duty to see
that the bill Is properly enrolled, check
1t up with the house and senate jour
mails. see that no amendments have
been left out, in fact, TO
see that the enrolled measure
is rs Identical bill that was
acted upon by both houses. After this
work is done by the committee then
st is their duty to present the act to
the respective presiding officers, Sc
cure their signatures and deliver the
bill to the governor. The only time
during all this progress of the measure
that the speaker is required 10 take
any personal action with reference 10
the bill, other than to vote when the
rol lis called, is when it Is handed up
to him to be signed. In the very nature
Of things it is impossible for the
speaker to keep track of the numerous
bills that are being acted upon by the
house. He relies absolutely, SO far as
his record is concerned, upon the clerk
of the house and the several commit
tees, and the final check on a bill just
before it goes to the governor is the
committee on enrolled bills. When II
reports to the house or senate that
certain bills have been delivered to the
governor, the presiding officers and
everybody else have right to assume
that they were properly checked up
found to be correctly enrolled and
properly signed.

HuMANIZING THE CHURCHES.
LA Eollette's Weeklyl


1t is to be hoped that all experiments
In making warm and human the rela-
lions Of the churches with the people
will succeed. The newspapers describe
one of these in ST. Paul which looks
like most promising project for util-
izing a huge waste in space and in
vested capitalize parlors and lecture
rooms Of the churches. Cards were dis
tributed by the church people, in all
places where young women are en-
ployed, offering them the use Of the
church parlors as a place where the
girls and their men friends might meet
for social purposes. The pastor pro-
nounced the affair a success. Matrons
OF the church were present to act as
chaperones. There we're books. up-to-
date literature, games and presumably
music.
The opportunity offered for jokes at
turning church parlors into counting
rooms is plain; but why Joke about 1t?
Counting seems a condition precedent
to marriage. and marriage is the
foundation of social order as we'll as
individual happiness Some of these
young people will carry on courtships
at these meetings. Some of the court
ships will result In marriages. Some of
the marriages will be happy, some I'M
happy. But If the girls and boys meet
in the coy church parlors, with sane
ard moral fellow beings about them.
