san Francisco ana inserting IN rneir
place the words New Orleans. Then
back to the senate went the much
amended resolution. The senate Sec
rotary has it nicely packed away now
with number of other matters await
ing attention. 1t is possible 1t will
not be recalled for consideration by
that body, as congress has already de-
clared through its subcommittee in
favor of New Orleans.
Against Five Mile Limit Law.
The business men of Iowa City and
others interested in maintaining the
present status of the liquor question
at that place, the same being of the
wet" variety, have been busy FOR
several days past in endeavoring to
convince the legislators that the Van
Law five mile limit bill would be un-
fair and unjust. The five mile limit
bill is an act which forbids the
sale of intoxicating liquors with.
in a limit of five miles from
any of the educational institu-
lions controlled by the state. The
proposed law is general in its appli.
cation, but in reality 1t would only
affect Iowa City in practice. 1t is
claimed fully 80 per cent of the bust
ness men of the university city have
signed a remonstrance against the
adoption of the law. They declare its
enactment would bring about a state
of disorder, the same as under prohi-
bition times that would be almost
impossible to control, and would be
much worse than present conditions
Editor Brandt of the Daily Republi.
can at Iowa City is one of the op-
ponents of the law who has been
active with the legislators. Efforts
have been made to enact such law
in previous legislatures but without
success. Saloons do not exist at
either Ames or Cedar Falls where the
other state schools are located.
