FOR IOWA CITIES.
Iowa League Of Municipalities Strongly
Endorsed Homs Rule for
Cities at Recent
Meeting.

Claimed That clties are Hampered
by lnfIexlble Laws and 9th
ers Of Uncertain
Meaning.

Home rule for Iowa cities will be
o question that will be widely dis
cussed in Iowa until the next legisla-
ture and it will be an important ques-
ton to be considered by the legisla-
tive body. At the recent meeting OF
the Iowa League Of Municipalities
attended by cities official from all over
the state. at Marshalltown, home rule
was strongly endorsed
The opinion was expressed that the
meet the demands Of the different con-
ditions in different cities In the state.
A clarifying of many of the statutes
is believed necessary by the league.
The leagne wants laws to meet the re-
quirements of different cities, not
laws to unduly restrain them. and to
hamper their growth and expansion
as 1t is charged the present laws do.
The home rule question as well as
the sentiment of the league on other
municipal questions was declared in
resolutions adopted the fifth reading:
Realizing that most of the mum
fatalities in this state are seriously
hsmpered in solving some of their
most important problems, such as the
disposal of garbage and sewage by
reason of their limited powers and
authority. this organization herewith
declares itself as in favor of an organ

ton as will give to cities and towns
amrle powers to meet situations of
this kind"

gy race, but only two heats of this
race was driven, the three entries be-
ing Orville Karnes, Irving Kiser and
Joe Kiser.
The greatest interest and excitement
was manifested in the quarter mile
dash. In this, three horses were start
ed, one little roam mare belonging
to NJ. A. Karr, one owned by Tom
Hardy of Carthage and the third a
horse brought over from Missouri
Heavy odds we're placed on the Miss
oun and the Hardy horses, but at the
finish the little roam mare was the
first to poke her nose past the Judges
stand. The race was spirited one
from the start The little mare got a
bad start as well as having the out
side but in spite of all odds, she fin
ished first. Time Is seconds.
The race meet was gotten up by Bert
Dee and Cook Kinkade and 1t was a
great success, there being about Ave
hundred people present. 1t was the
/, verdict of many who attended the Don

this fall that the racing here was bet
ter than that seen at any OF these
