AS to the management and sup
port of the state institutions under
board of control:
The most important forward step
in regard to the handling OF the wards
of the state, taken by the thirty-fifth
general assembly. was one looking
to substitution of state controlled In
dustries and farming for the convicts
in place of contract labor and all the
steps that could at this time be taken
in that direction. Provision was made
for money with which to establish
the industries. also for purchase OF a
custodial farm, and establishment OF
woman's reformatory, and for what
ever use the people desire to be made
of convict labor on the highways.
By chapter seventeen of the acts
of the thirty-fifth general assembly a
half mill tax is levied for five years,
to be at the disposal of the board OF
control for the erection and improve
ments of buildings at the institutions.
and for the Iowa industrial reforma-
tory for females, district custodial
farm. and state colony for epileptics, !"
and for the purchase of land "includ-
ing a new location for the Iowa indus.
trial reformatory for females" and
for establishing and maintaining in
dustries In any or all of said institu-
tions.'
The authority to make use of con-
victs on highway construction is CIV
en- by chapter 1874 of the acts. They
shall not be leased to contractors,
but shall work under direction of the
highway commission, when the coun-
ty boards of local authorities request
their use.
A state epifeptic colony is estab-
lished by chapter 236 and the board
is required to locate the same ana
equip it.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS.

Worhmen's compensation laws will
do much to prevent litigation and
distribute the burden of industrial in
juries. But they do nothing toward
restoring the 100000 of killed and
manned men that factories, mines and
railroads turn out in this country in
a year.
Realizing the burden of this tax,
the National Association of Manufac-
turers is to send out six car railroad
| train this summer through the great
industrial centers to emphasize the
dangers of Industrial occupations, and
the means for escaping them.
Experts say half the accidents are
due to lack of safety devices, the
other to the typical carelessness of
the American workmen One author

1 six times as many chances as the
Englishman.
