FIGHTING MOOD.

The first results of the city milk
inspection ordinance are being felt and
the city milk inspector, DR.. ID. NJ
Campbell, is making arrests here and
there in punches of five. ten and
twenties. Today arrests are being
made which will effect every nook and
corner in Shawnee county. DR.. Camp
bell is conducting from his office at
the city hall regular set of guillotine
orders-and the violators of the ordi-
nances. are receiving their just dues.
One hundred milkmen who have fail
ed to register their cows after seven
teen separate notices are being taken
into custody today. They will be held
up for trial in about ten days.
DR.. Campbell, like the proverbial
worm, has turned at last. The. first
notices for registration were sent out
last fall. The registration at this time
was pretty genera1-very few failed to
take due notice of the conditions. on
January 1 the regular registration
commenced again. The nilkmen were
notified but very few of them respond
ed. Another set of notices were sent
out. Still they held back and admit
ted the notices but with reluctance did
they part with their money.
Finally the city council by the adj
vice of DR.. Campbell appointed an as
was to attend to the office work and
keep tab on the names and notices
for registration. This put the city to
an expense of over $50 per month.
Not long ago the new ordinance was
passed. Through the terms of this
ordinance it was unnecessary to make
all of these pleas for registration. If
the milk dealers did not register on
time they We're to suffer the conse-
quenceS. 1t was stated in the State
Journal at this time that there would
be no more notices of registration
However, all warnings were passed
up and nothing has been done. In
speaking of the matter DR.. Campbell
said this morning to a State Journal
reporter:
''It was stated in the State Journal
that under the new ordinance no one
would have to be notified to register
| time and sent application blanks
to all. They have neglected
to fill them out and return them to
this office. Thus treating them all
| alike, 100 warrants are being is
sued today and the stragglers will be
rounded up early next week. It is
very important that 7 have the in
formation contained in the applica-
| tion."
The milk dealers are also up in
arms. In talking with State Jour-
| nal reporter this morning, they stated
that they would make this a ''test
case" of the new ordinance and they
| intended to fight it out to the end.
I'VE firmly believe that this ordin-
ance is the work of the corporations"
said an irate dealer this morning.
