POLICE CAN BOTH CENsuRE
AND ENFORCE THE LAW.

IN regard "a the recommendation that
the Police Commissioned he given the
power of censorship over all films, the
committee says:
"Your committee deems the Police
COMMISSIONS the proper official to be
invested with the censoring OF these
pictures-his decision TO be subject to
review by the Mayor-because, since
that department is charged with the
administration OF the law and the OBJ
seryance Of It. that official Ia best
qualified to pass upon the proprlety N
the exhibition of the picture from the
standpoint of It's morality. sc. Four
committee also believes that a minimum
Of expense will obtain n the Police De-
partment is charged with the duty
rather than the creation OF a commits
sion or board for the purpose, since
II Is apparent hat the Police Commits
sicner with the entire police force at
hand may not only decide the matter
but enforce the decision"
With respect to the admission OF
minors to moving picture houses the
committee recommends that the pres mt
law on the subject be not amended. The
existing statute prohibits children under
sixteen from being admitted unless ac-
companlei by parent or adult guardians.

ONE THOUSAND
BANKS IN IOWA.
Charter Is Issued to LedderdaIe ln+I
stitution, Which Brings Num-
Der up to That Figure.

Iowa now has under state super
vision one thousand banks, a great
er number than any other state in the
United States.
That number was reached for the
first time in the history of the state
banking department yesterday, when g.
charter was issued to the Farmers
Savings bank of Ledderdale, Carroll
county, Iowa. The capital stock of
the new and one thousandth bank
is 100000, The officers are John
Sanderson. president; John Schleis-
mann, vice president; John Roelfse-
man, cashier.
Although more than one thousand
charters have been issued, only one
thousand state and savings banks
are in operation, due to consultations
and suspensions.
Added to the one thousand state
and savings banks are about 80
national banks and about 800 pri-
waite banks, giving Iowa more than
| 900 banks. That is 300 more banks
than post offices, as Iowa, according
to the last official report, only had
| 1861 post offices.
