proposal liz to compel all societies or

year. Under the provisions OF tho bill
all charitable organizations would find
IL necessary TO ssuc itemized account

would be laid under the same obliga- :
ton and under the wording of the bill

NOT KNOCKING the MOVIES"

Several moving picture show propri-
ctors OF Cedar Rapids cancelled their
advertising contracts with the Cedar
Rapids Gazette because that newspaper
published Warden McCiaughrcy's opin-
ion of tho effect of certain moving pic
ture films toward developing and
suggesting criminal purpose. They
assumed the attitude that the news
paper was knocking their business"
when Il published thu conclusions OF a
pcnitentiary warden regarding one
class of films.
The moving picture business when It
is conducted properly Is MI right. more
than that II Is something we should
very much hate TO do without; other
CORY OF vicious public performances
which should be suppressed That Is
all there Is to IL. The newspaper should
not await the removal OF advertising
by proprIctors Of shows thus conducted
because OF offense. II should refuse II
entirely and make war on that phase
of vice as upon other and more gem
orally condemned viciousrcsa. y good
picture show IS n thing to be thankful
for. A bad show ought To come under
the Cosson law which puts the mulct
on buildings used for immoral purposes.
It Is not likely that the proprietors
who resented the Gazettc's publication
OF the wardcns opinions are running
vicious shows 1t ~ to be inferred that
city like Cedar Rapids "ouldn
stand for such performances. 1t Is &c

The fact is that tho innumerable

heaviest handicap on legitimate and
well considered charity. The country
Is ovcrrun with unknown and uncerti-

worthy and eliminate those funda-

There IS as good reason why the

by n mutual insurance company. Those

NEW ELECTION LAWS.

II is probable that the Iowa legls-
laturc viii not at once take kindly To
the Eaunan bin to lcgalize the use Of
two ballot boxes at each polling place
and the practically simultaneous
counting and casting OF ballots.
Nevertheless. such plan Is In use
successful In some of the eastern
states and the opportunity for irrcgu
larity under the double ballot system
has been found to be less than under
the single ballot scheme now in vogue
in most voting precincts.
The advantage OF having the result
of an election announced Immediately
after the last vOtes are cast Ia obvi-
GUS IT is when returns are della ycd
that there Is dnngerc OF alteration In
the tally sheets and ballots. And as for
the satisfaction 10 the people In be-
ing able to know the outcome OF an
election before three or four days
have gone by. It would be impossible
tn estimate its value.
In n day and age OF wireless telc-
graphy. when communication around
the earth is possible within few scc-
onds. IT is absurd that the result or an
election can not be determined within
few hours.

PEOPLE AND HOGS.
fDayenDOrt Democrat

In name Iowa has a state board OF
health: in fact 1t has no such body.
none that deserves any such rccogni
ton. No appropriation crcditable to
the people or adequate to the real and
often vital interests such board
serves. Is made. and as result next
to nothing has bcen done or can he
expected. The states on all sides OF
Iowa do better, yet the statement Ia
an under ono that none OF them do
enough.
The assembly now In session Will be
asked to increase the beggarly $4,000
n year which keeps the skeleton nf a
board OF health In existence. to $4,000.
which would enable 1t to safeguard the
public and to meet emergencies as they
come. That does not look like any
thing but common prudence.
The farmers Of Iowa. thru the state
veterinarian. Will ask for an appro-
priation OF s25, 900 for the free distribu-
ton OF serum supposed to protect the
hogs Of the state against cholera. This
amount Is probably not much more
than per cent OF the loss sustained
every year by this terribly fatal dis
case for which no cure has been dis
covered tho preventive means can be
applied with good results.
Blu. one can not help thinking how
much Iowa and other states are doing
for their livestock interests and how
little the people themselves care FOR
their own health
