The Red LIoht L aw.

Iowa City Republican: If the H.
legality of the red light law is upheld
by the supreme court, the legislature
should lose no time in re-enacting
that part Of 1t which makes owners
of property liable for it's use for i'm
moral purposes. Existing laws are
sufficient to cover all other evils con-
nected with this problem, so far as
they can be controlled by law. The
exorbitant rentals exacted by land
lords who cater to this trade prove
them accessories, and they are the
worst ones in the business.

an earthquakes was in progress.
The building stands near the scene
