the wedding out process to all who are
physically below par? Must they in
self defense weed out the aged, the
married. and the party incapacitated
more ruthlessly than the other states?
'That Iowa employers have not gone
further with the wedding out process is
most commendable. My correspondence
indicates that they are striving appar-
emily to bridge over the difficulty and
are retaining old employees in the face
OF great risk in the belief that the peril
will be only temporary and that the
general assembly will come to their re-
lief at an early date. But it Is too much
to expect that Iowa employers will
maintain this attitude il the law is left
unchanged by the next general assem-
bly,.
3 s'If the private insurance methods are
to stand permanently and in full rigor
in Iowa. we may expect to see great
numbers OF industrious and fairly
competent men thrown out of employ
ment The employers rejecting the law.
equally with those under the act, will
be forced to protect themselves by
wedding out all but test proof employees.
Instead of condemnation the employers

approval for conserving for awhile at
least to retain these employees and give
the general assembly time to act. thus
saving the situation temporarily. but at
heavy risk to Themselves risk too
great to be made permanent.
in addition to high rates made
necessary by a system that does not fit
our economic needs, the employers and

face with another great evil and in
equality. A third inducement to reject
the law is likely to arise out of the OPP
portunity thereby secured to raise and
contest the question of negligence in a
suit for damages. Thus. despite all the
rigor of the law on the employer who
rejects it, powerful reasons and induce
ments impel in that direction. The
natural result will be the division of our
Industrial community into two great
bodies operating under grossly dissimi-
lar and unequal laws. With one great
body of employers under the compen-
sation system, and another almost as
will be an incongruity and inequality
that can not be permanently endured.
Employer Must Be Protected.
ut would seem, therefore, that if the
Iowa employer is to be saved from OPP
pressive insurance rates or the alterna-
tive OF discharging those employees who
have given him years of faithful SER
vice. employees who have been his COM
panions and friends. always loyal to his
interests. the state must step iii and
provide system so that the employer
with humanitarian instincts will not be
put to an economic disadvantage COM
pared to those who have less consider
alton for aged or partly disabled en-
ployes.
"A collective fund administered by
the state is the remedy for all these
evils and inequalities. Such system
will make an end of excessively high
rates; it will remove also the tempta-
ton to reject the act in order to raise
the question of negligence: above ALL it
will take away the temptation to dis
charge partially incapacitated en-
ployes. The element of personal adj
vantage from wedding out the partially
incapacitated. is very slight and incon-

4 TIMELY DECISION

The supreme court of this state
has handed down decision which
outlaws Jamaica ginger. This is a
timely act. We hear a great deal of
liquor killing people, when a amat-
ter OF fact most Of the ills OF liquor
drinking may be traced to adultera-
tions and substitutes-althou OF
course. liquor itself has killed its pha-
lanXes and its armies
Young men have been cut down by
the use of Jamica ginger, flavoring
extracts and other substitutes for Ii
quor. The writer has Witnessed deaths
in manner horrible TO relate, due TO
drinking Hostetter's bitters and ia
maica ginger. Oh, IL the Jail walls
could but talk how this country would
ring with the recital OF the miserable,
wretched hours of the soul going
away. goin out life debauched upon
some murderous concoction, substi-
tute for whiskey.
The supreme court of the state has
laid its hand on the sore spot and de-
clared constitutional the Dillon or
dinance to prohibit the sale of ANY
Jamaica ginger or alcohol, or any 9TH
er ingredient of similar nature, by
whatever name called or any cider
OF any kind, without the certificate of
u licensed physician that the same
Is TO be used for medicinal or medi-
cal purposes.
The upcontradicted evidence shows
that all cider contains some alcohol
says the court, that all places where
cider was sold, the rough element of
the community congregnted. became
cases intoxicated and blocked the
sidewalks in front OF them so that pc
destrians had to get off them into the
streets to pass by; that frequent ar
conduct were made at such places,
and that they were in fact niusances; !;
that since the sale of cider had been
stopped such nuisances have been
dudtCu anu LsuCl uelCct OIucT has
nrevailed.
The appeal questions the validity
of the ordinance on the ground that
the council ha6 no power to adopt
1t, and on the further ground that
It is unconstitutional. Section 1894,
Vol. l, Code 1912, confers upon city
sma :o%R councils authority 10 make
all such rules, by laws, regulations,
and ordinaces respecting the roads,
streets, markets, police, health, and
order of said cities and towns, or re-
specting any subject as shall appear
for the security, welfare, and con-
venience of such cities and towns,
or for preserving health, peace, order
and good government within same.
The ordinance is clearly within the
grant OF power +.
