Is Crime to Bet on Election in low,

Is Crime to Bet on Election in Iowa
1t is crime in Iowa to bet on the
results of any election, according to
decision of the state department of
Justice by N. j. Lee. special counsel.
His opinion was given in response to
two questions which were put up to
Attorney General Cosson.
The questions were:
First-Is there anything in the cleo
ton Iowa which prohibits any one from
betting on any candidate?
Second Is any one who has made a
wager or bet on the result of an cleo
ton disqualified from voting.
Answering the first question, Mr..
Lee says:
1.-The making of any bet or wager on
the result of any election or on the
success or failure of any candidate for
any office is a crime under our laws.
TIE penalty provided is not to exceed
one years Imprisonment in the county
Jail or a fine not TO exceed $500 or
both. y
On the second question the opinion
says:
Now matter how vicious the prac-
tice of betting may be, it would not
disqualify one participating therein
from voting"
Mr.. Lee goes further in his opinion
and states that as the constitution pre-
scribes the qualifications of an elector,
the legislature is powerless to pass a
law making such betting disqualiti-
cation for voting.
Out of the first nineteen Iowa cOun-
ties to express themselves definitely on
the presidential issue, seventeen, rep
resenting 252 votes in the state ccnven-
ton. declared for Taft, while two, in
Guiding Senator Cummins home coun-
ty, representing seventy-nine votes in
the convention, declared for Cummins.
This is the plain, unvarnished fact. 1t
will be recalled that just six weeks
ago it was declared that there would
be no contest in Iowa, but that the
solid Iowa delegation would goto Cum
mings without OPPOSITION except few
futile protests from irerconcilable
soreheads. The object lesson SO far as
it has proceeded shows concusivcly
that there is widespread and genuine
support of Taft among Iowa republic
cans, and that the effort to divert it by
a fake favorite son candidacy is not to
be successful SO far as large area of
the state is concerned. Sioux City

GARDEN and

Rye may be cut for hay and used
for all classes of live stock
The demand for agricultural ex-
perts far exceeds the supply.
Poultry manure is particularly good
for forcing the growth of onions.
Stock raising is the best insurance
against an impoverished agriculture.
A clover sod turned down makes
an excellent foundation for a corn
crop.
Use nitrate of soda or liquid ma
aure for crops that are growing
slowly.
Whenever a farmer gets the astc
fever he at once becomes a .gooa-road

'Worn-out" manure from old hot
beds is just the thing for mushroom
beds in the cellar.
Keep the stables and the yards
clean SO that flies and insects have
no breeding place.
To kill Canada thistle in field,
put the field in some cultivated crop
and keep the weeds down.
