Cedar Rapids, Dec. 3l.-"The COM
ing legislature ought to remove the
stigma that attaches to the state be-
cause of the miserably low salaries
now paid many of the state officers"
declared Representative l.. r. Moore
today. He continues:
The salaries paid many of the state
officers are ridculously low. Here are
two examples. The state superintend-
ent of schools is paid Il wage lower
than the salary received by many OF
the city superintendent The state SUI
perintendent has responsible position
and should be paid accordingly. The
state treasurer is another official who
is paid a meaSer wage. Many of the
county trcaSurers receive a greater
salary than does the state official. The
state is supposed to have competent
men in high offices, and such a grea
and wealthy state as Iowa should be
willing to pay competent men salaries S
that can be called halfway respect
able"
MIR. Moore was chairman of the APP
preparations committee in the last
house, and made a record for sensible
economy that precludes any suggestion
that he would be in favor of eXtrava-
gance in salaries.

The liquor interests are not saying
much, but it is understood they are not
at all satisfied with the showing they
have made. 1t is probable the liquor
interests will reorganize their forces,
and begin their work in a more sys-
tematic manner. The temperance forces
are perfectly organized. The city coun-
Gil is already discussing the probable
ity of the loss of revenue derived from
the saloons.
