Attack on Pure Food Law.
The constitutionality of the pure
food law. passed by the Thirty-first
general assembly and amended by the
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth general
is assailed in demurrer
filed in q Des Aoines court. The
demurrer is to charges made against
the Sanders. Hutchinson and Arctic
Ice Cream companies, who are alleged
to have sold cream not up to the re-
quired standard in that it contained
less. than IL per cent butter fat.
The remurrer charges that the leg
islature has no power to fix the stand
ard of butter fat in ice cream at /:
per cent because:
The standard and statute fixing the
same is unreasonable.
It invades the individual rights OF
defendants and is not a mere police
regulation, having no relation In fact
to the comfort, safety and welfare of
the public.
Statute Is In violation OF the consti.
tuition Of the United States In that II
arbitrarily interferes with personal
liberty and private property without
due process Of law.
HanIey Estate Pieases.
The Hanley estate near Granger was
visited by members of the board OF
control. II has been offered for sale
and the board wants tract of about
COO acres for an epileptic colony.
There are 1000 acres in the estate.
Members of the board are pleased
with the location OF the land. Switch.
ing facilities could not be much bet
ter as the place is accessible from all
parts of the state. Another feature
about the estate that suits the board
Is the plentifulness OF water
"At most of our institutions there
Is shortage of water" said Sen. Nc.
Coll. Deep wells are required In or.
der to get the water needed. The
Hanley estate is in Beaver Creek val.
ley. There always is plenty OF water
there"
The board will buy farm in the
central part of the state. A half doz.
en- other offers have been made. I'm.
til all have been investigated no pur-
chases will be made.
Railroads are Hit.
Almost every successful farmer now
has an automobile and can come and
go as he pleases. On one day dur.
ing the state fair ninety.four auto
mobiles left Creston for Des Moines.
Each car carried an average OF Ave
persons. On the same day a special
train OF nine coaches left Creston ov,
er the railroad. but the ninety-five au.
tomobiles carried more passengers to
Des Moines than the special train did.
The autos played bigger rart in get.
ting the state fair crowds here than
anyone has SO far estimated.
New State Institution Building.
The state board Of control is now
ready to get options for the new col
ony for epileptics that was authorized
by the last general assembly Last
year there were $50 epileptics con.
fined In five different state institu.
tons II is estimated that there are
close to that number outside the In
stitutions who would take advantage
OF the new colony. In the opinion OF
the state board farm of about 1000
acres OF good land is required. 1t is
estimated that to establish a suitable
plant will cost a half million dollars.
