WANT RIGID LAW

Welfare League, Among Other
Things, Would Danish Wo-
men Cigar Clerks.

A law requiring all drivers of pri-
vate or public automobiles or hacks
to hold state licenses subject to re-
fusal or cancellation for conviction
OF intoxication is one of the ten laws
proposed for adoption by the next
general assembly by the Iowa Pub
lie Welfare league.
To bring about better enforcement
a list of bills which are notifications
of old laws or drafts of new ones for
the suppression of vice and crime
The league will ask that the pres
ent probation court law be so chang
ed as to make some provision for
probation officers in all counties less
than $4,000 as is now made in coun-
ties of more than $4,000. The league
believes the juvenile court laws should
be operative in all counties. Another
proposed measure provides for the
fireproof construction of all school
buildings of more than one story.
The league will ask for state cen
sorship of moving picture films and
advertising cards and calendar and
bill boards, a law prohibiting the en-
ployment of women cigar workers
and clerks in cigar stores or stands.
law establishing a tramp colony
and empowering peace officers to ar
rest all tramps and take them to the
colony for detention and work; .. law
requiring pool hall owners and opera
tors to secure state license which
shall be revoked for violation of state
or city ordinance; a law making it a
criminal offense for a man to take a
woman to rooming house or hotel
and falsely represent her as his wife;
a law placing public and private dance
halls under state regulation. A law
providing for the revocation of a
state license held by publ C or private
automobiles and hacks and a law pro-
viding in case OF convicts kept at
hard labor that one-half of their
earnings shall be paid to those de-
pendent upon them, one-fourth placed
on deposit as fund for convict when
discharged and one-fourth retained
by state to apply on the expense for
care and keep of convict.
The league has been securing the
opinion of candidates for legislative
Offices upon these new and other re-
form laws and is quietly working to
elect those men who are known to
be supporters of reform measures.
Five federal laws have been pro-
posed by the league to congress. The
list includes laws to exclude ciga-
rets from the mails, to exclude
gambling devices from the mails and
and circulars advertising
such devices, to make tobacco, CT
CARS and cigarets when doped with
habit forming drugs subject to the
pure drug act, to make cigarets
and cigaret wrappers when trans
ferred from one state to another, on
delivery, subject to the laws of the
state in which they are consigned
and to make a serious criminal of
tense to use the mails for correspond
snce for immoral purposes.
