state lsassd 100 Acres 70 % Utilised
BY Prison labors.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Jan. 3-The farm OPP
erations Of the state Of Iowa at the
state prison will be on a larger scale
this year than ever before. The state
owns some good land adjacent to the
prison but most of the farming is done
on rented land. Not all the land was
secured last year that the board Of
control desired. but already this year
the leases have been made for about
700 acres of fine farm land near
enough to the prison to. be utilized for
prison labor. Last year on less than
half this amount of land work was pro-
vided at one time or another for about
1875 of the prisoners and with excel
lent results. This has been somewhat
OF hobby with Warden Sanders, and
the board and the experiment of farm
work is being thoroughly tried out.
Some of the TRUSTEES go out to the farm
and remain there for week or more
at time, not returning to the prison
walls at night, but most of those en-
gagged in farm work make daily trips to
the farms. With the land now secured
it is probable the warden will be able
to find farm work for all his men who
might be properly sent out to do farm
ing None of the men are ever left
wholly unguarded. In the past year
only one man walked away from the
farm and he did not go far nor try very
hard to get away. The state has rented
some unusually good land, part OF
which is valued at 5000 an OGRE.

Der Of head Of live stock was 2,345, S79,

Nevada, Jan. 3-The legislative COM
mittee of the State Association Of Coun-
ty Treasurers' Of Iowa is preparing for
an aggressive campaign before the
coming legislative session, for reforms
in matters pertaining to the handling
of affairs of their Offices They have
been working on these matters for
some time and have arrived at that
which they consider will prove a
needed benefit to not only themselves
as officers and custodians Of the funds
of the taxpayers. but also Of the tax
payers of the state. Among the changes
which they will ask is a uniformity of
accounts in the various counties OF the
state, a graduated scale of compensa-
ton regulated by the amount of collcc-
tions of the office and system of ex-
amintion huch as the state banks are
required to undergo

tens of accounting used in the state.
this being one of about fifteen similar
systems with little variance.
Would Regulate Salary.
The present method of regulating the
salaries OF the county treasurer is con-
sidered wholly unfair and one of the
proposed changes is that of an act pro-
viding for the compensation of treas
urers Under this proposed ct each
treasurer shall receive for his services
the following compensation annually:
1 Two per cent of the first $4,000
collected or fraction thereof.
2. One per cent Of the next 100000
collected or fraction thereof:
8. Three fourths Of per cent ofathe
next 100000 collected or fraction
thereof:
4. One-half of per cent of the next
100000 collected or fraction thereof.
5. One-half Of per cent Of all col
lections over $1,250,OO0 collected or
fraction thereof.
Section 8. The compensation pro-
vided for in the preceding section shall
be in lieu of all other compensation.
and the treasurer of each county shall
employ such help as may be necessary
for the proper conduct of his office, sand
shall pay for the same from the funds
provided in the preceding section.
(Counties containing special char
tered cities this action does not apply.)
Another proposed legislative act Of
the committee is an act to provide for
a. uniformity sof accounting Of county
treasurers, similar to that which reg
ulates state and savings banks. BY the
provisions of the proposed bill the
safety Of regular examination at I'M
specified times would be thrown around
the treasurers.

What We are aiming at" said Sea-

that they may see for themselves and
perhaps convey thru them to the people
