by the Iowan. which stood by while
her boats took aboard two OF the Met

landed in New York tonight.

The Meaapan is a United Fruit Com

on October for this part
AS the Metapan was nearing port
the crash occurred in dense fog ac-
cording to her officers and passengers.
The freighter was first seen when she
was only short distance away. In an
effort to avert the crash the Iowan is
said to have let go her anchor but the
hcadway was greater than she could
overcome. She hit the Metapan about
thirty feet from the bow OF the ship

Under the law recently passed bv

Board, provisions are made for the
appointment Of resident tax equal

inns officer will be to assist the Coun-
~ commissioners to equalize the
taxation in each county, hunt out new
property to place on the books. find
concealed taxable property and keep
a correct record of investments which
are taxable and which are now now
on the books. The office is a most
important one il the appointment is

sioners should be most careful IN
their recommendation Of the list n

me appointment is made from
list OF tiYe names to be submitted by
the County Commissioners to the
state Tax Board The Board can Sc
lect either OF the five names sent in
and the important matter for the
County Commissioners is to see that
only the names of perfectly capable
men are submitted to the State
Board
rms appointment can be made a
very useful one If the proper person
is designated or it can be made
perfectly useless one if the wrong
man is appointed, As the taxpayers
VIII have to provide salary Of AZ
least one Thousand dollars a year for
this officer, it is worth while to give
the matter some very serious thought
before the list is made up. IL there
IS an Office in the County where none

installed it is in this office. The an
pointee should be a man OF capacity
and one who will be totally blind Ii
personal favorites or political pull
AS this Office will take from the
County Commissioners certain re-
sponsibilities in the way Of seeing
that new property is listed every
year. none but diligent and trust
worthy man should be considered for
the place. There will be many an
pllcants but the list should be thor
oughly considered before Forwarding

Governor Clarke has demonstrated a

in spite Of some remarkably we'll

The first striking fact is the very
inefficient way in which the electric

Moreover, the London wage cost is

cheney Of distribution hardly better
than that Of London. However. the
net profit on the capital Is greater by

,owA,s Black PLAGUE LAW.

PERHAPS not one in thousand OF the
people likely to be affected realize the
drastic provisions Of a law enacted by
the Iowa Thirty fifth general assembly
known as III. F. 24T."
1t is entitled "An act to declare GER
tain diseases contagious and infectious
and to provide rules and regulations
for the control of the same, and te III
punishment for the violation thereof
It declares the two principal venereal
diseases to be contagious and IN
fectious;" and requires every physician
and surgeon to report to the local
board of health, within twenty-four
hours, every such case coming to his
knowledge; and to keep record there.
Of This report must state sex and age
of patient; character of disease; prob
able source of Infection: whether, when
and by whom previously reported by
number; the name OF the patient not
appearing in such report. (tho 1t is OBJ
tainaole from the office record Of the
medical man reporting IT'D all under q
penalty Of fine or imprisonment: and
the liability CT having his license re-
voked by the state board Ct health.
But the possibilities Of trouble are
greatly enlarged by section 4, trans
mission-penalty.
1t provides that any person who shall
transmit or assume the risk of trans
mitting either Of these diseases, may be
fined $500 anc imprisoned in county
jail one year: and also be liable to the
party injured in suit for damages. 1t
includes alike both the married and the
unmarried. The law was approved
March 20. 1913, and took effect July
1913. 1t represents the most advanced
stride in legislation designed to check
the spread Of those contagious and m
fectious diseases which are responsible
for so many physical wrecks among tne
innocent as well as the guilty.
The probability of both fine and i'm
prisonment tends to deter the wealthy
as well as the pauper who violates the
law; and then the conviction in the
criminal court will make it easier for
the sufferer to win the subsequent suit
fer heavy damages.
Physical examination before mar
riage license can issue tends to make
marriage more difficult: and so will
decrease the number of marriages:
even among those who have no i'm
pediments to legal marriage. 1t also
tends to make citizens of the state en-
go to some other state to have tD~
marriage performed. That opens up
possibilities for wronging the innocen,
and unsuspecting, that should not be
encouraged. The state Of Wisconsin
is already in a peck Of trouble on ac-
count of her marriage laws, which,
however wise in theory, are proving
disastrous in effect.
OF course it is not at all likely that
the new Iowa law will be strictly en-
forced at first. 1t will require time and
experience to win that deserved popu-
lar favor. without which no law can be
effectively enforced.
But in enacting this most praise
worthy law, Iowa has again "set the
pace.
