POLK COUNTY PROTESTS.
Objects to Being Made Dumping
Ground for States Paupers.

Des Moines, Feb. 15-Instead of COM
relling the taxpayers of Polk county
to pay for the maintenance of paupers
sent here from other cities and coun-
ties thruout the state, the board OF
supervisors will send them back to the
riace they came from.
According to several members of the
board, every city in tire state has al
ways made a practice of using Des
Moines and Polk county as n dumping
ground for undesirable persons and
paupers, with the result that 1t has
filled the county institutions so that
they can no longer comfortably accom-
modate them and caused an extra bur
den OF taxation on the people as q
whole.
Three poor families have been
shipped to Polk county during the past
two months from other parts of tho
state and this morning the board
passed resolutions authorizing the
chairman of the pauper committee to
furnish these persons with transpor-
tation back to the place they came
from.

Attorney General Cosson opened up

Of inquiry relating to pick up and de-
livery limits. which appeared to have
escaped the inquisitors.
The interstate commerce commission
appointed n committee to make special
inquiry into overcharges as 1t was
found that the express companies make
many over charges. Commissioners
Lane threatened prosecution unless
this is stopped. and finally commit
tee was appointed to work out n fairer
method Of making the charges. Mr..
Lane declared that the rate sheets OF
the express companies were incompre-
hensible either to the public or to the
express agents. and they must simplify
them.

Placed Under Police Regulation.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Feb. 15.-All the public
dances which are to be given In this
city hereafter. will be under the guild
ance Of the police. IL the aldermen OF
the city adopt the policy of Mayor
Fred NJ. Norris. and 1t Is likely they
will. City Attorney Witwer is now
drafting an ordinance to that effect.
Information has recently been coming
to the mayor that at these public
dances more or less liquor is drank and
that they are patronized by some peo-
pie Of VIGOROUSLY bad character. The
ordinance will be so drafted as to make
1t necessary to get out a permit to give
these public dances, license the places
In which they are held, prohibiting IN
toxicating liquors on the premises, put
ting them under police control, and the
mayor to issue or withhold the license
as he deems best. and these licenses
subject to revocation in case Of viola
ton of any of the rules governing the
conduct of the place. This Is following
up the policy Of toning up the morality
of the city.
