Deny Presence of Joker.


The Water Power company attor-
neys deny the presence of joker in
the bond to cover costs, as reported in
a special dispatch to Keokuk from F't.
Madison yesterday. The bond in full
follows, the paragraph beginning
NOW, THEREFORE,, forming the
basis of the alleged joker charge:
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE
PRESENTS that the undersigned are
held and firmly bound unto Des
Moines county, Iowa and Lee county,
Iowa in the penal sum of Five Thous-
and Dollars (s5,o00.00), for the pay
ment of which well and truly to be
made we hereby bind ourselves, our
heirs, representatives, executors and
assigns firmly by these presents.
WITNESS our hands this oath day
of October A. d 1911.
The conditions of this obligation
are such that whereas Thomas w.
Henderson, l. w. Traverse, Joe Fry,
S. Atlee and the Mississippi River
Power company have petitioned the
board of supervisors of Des Moines
county, Iowa, and the board of super
visors of Lee county, Iowa, for the
organization of certain drainage dis
trict for the proper drainage of GER
tain lands in said counties and de-
scribed in the petition of date Octob-
er. oath, 1911, which is hereto at
tached;
NOW THEREFORE,, if the under
signed shall well and truly pay all
costs to be paid, all said costs incurr-
ed by reason of the filing of said Pc
tition and the proc ,edings hereunder,
| If the said drainage district as pray
ed for in said petition be not granted,
then this obligation to be null and
void, otherwise in full force and eff
feet.
The attitude of the Mississippi Riv-
er Power Co. is one of practical con
servation. The Green Bay lands are
admittedly valuable, probably the
most valuable in the county. 1t has
been the hope and the endeavor OF
many of the farmers that this land
could be drained or dyked or faved in
some manner and at a largely attend
ed meeting in Fort Madison some time
ago many of the land owners commit
ted themselves to such a plan. The
action of the Water Power people in
| the Green Bay proceedings, SO far as
the observation of this paper is con
cerned, is directed toward the best
results for the farmers. A speedy ad
justment should be reached and lega
and other objections withdrawn ant
this enterprise, which means more
for the Green Bay district than any
thing that has taken place in this his
tory of the county, allowedf to pro
coed uninterruptedly. '-~--''--

LEGISLATURE Provides For Continuance

Borrow.

The free conference report on the
resolution continuing in office the
present commission IN charge of the
improvements to the State Hospital
for the Insane was adopted in both
houses, thereby sending the measure
to the governor. The joint resolution,
which originated in the house in the
form of a resolution to discontinue
the commission, was amended by the
senate to exactly the opposite effect,
j. e., to keep in power the commission
appointed last year. The only change
made by the free conference commit
lee was in amending section l so as to
give to the governor the duty Of ap-
pointing the commission, and adding
a. recommendation that the former
board be reappointed The commits

There was considerable interest
aroused in police circles on Friday
night when it was thought possibly a
man under arrest here might be one
of those wanted in connection with
the recent violent deeds in GreenVlIle

however, that this impression was
mistake.

Governor viii Veto Act
For NeWberr.Y Deputies

this law (the dispensary law rests
LARGELY with the chief executive, and
if DESIGNATED to another, as IS done IN
this act, takes entirely from his con-
troll and yet leaves him subject to the
criticism for its non-enforcement.
While I would be glad to be relieved,
as this act suggests, yet the criticism
will be Just the same by those who
do not understand the situation, and
by some maliciously, who do under
stand it. If this act became a law |
would, of course, feel under it that I
have no power or responsibility Tor
the enforcement of the law In this
county as it is placed upon Others"
The Dorchester act related specitl-
cally to a liquor constable, while the
Newberry act does not specify that
particular duty. It is presumed, how
ever, that one of the principal duties
of the deputies to be sppointed by the
sheriff would be the enforcement of
the liquor laws, in connection with
their duties to enforce all laws, as it
is the duty of liquor constable to
look after the enforcement of all the
laws.

inspectors act by imposing additional
duties upon the inspectors and further
perfecting the idea of. the senator
along this line, originally incorporated
in the bill introduced by him and
passed at the session of 1910. The bill
went over to the house, and as the
result of a delegation meeting, the
bill was amended by providing for
the appointment Of the TWO deputy
ssheriffs, the appointment to be made
by the sheriff of the county, provision
being made for removal by the sheriff
for cause, The compensation Of the
deputy sheriffs was fixed at two dol
lars per day.
The bill went to conference, and
was further amended by the addition
OF other provisions toF Working the
roads of the county. AS finally agreed
upon by the Newberry delegation, the
bill was passed, ratified, and sent to
Governor Blease for his approval.
When the generai assembly ad-
journed Governor Biease still had the
act in his possession. The constitu-
tion provides that he mas until three
days after the beginning of the next
session to approve or veto an act, and
if he does not act within that time the
bill becomes a law without his appro-
val.
When asked by a representative of
The Herald and News what course he
would pursue in regard to the bill,
Governor Blease saio that it was his
intention to veto it. He said he was
actuated by two reasons. The first
was that the bill was unconstitution-
al for the reason that it did not COM
ply with Article 8, Section Il, of the
constitution, which provides: Every
act or resolution having the force Of
law shall relate to but one subject,
and that shall be expressed in the IL
tie" The act in question relates to
several subjects, and they are not eN-
pressed in the title.
Another reason, said Governor
Blease, was the same as that which
actuated him IL vetoing the Dorches-
ter act, which veto was sustained by
the general assembly. In vetoing that
act Governor Riaaso said: Tho re-
snonsibjlity tOr the enforcement of
