FLORIDA NEEDS
ANTI.TIPPING LAW

Iowa's new anti-tipping law is in
effect and is being watched with in
terest for the first violation which
brings court proceedings. The law
makes giving or receiving a tip an
offense punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment and the attorneyAgen-
eral has announced that it will be
rigidly enforced Thus it seems that
Iowa's supreme court will some
time be called upon to interpret just
what tip is, and to make distinc-
tions between pay for extra service
and tribute. -
One thing is certain, it is a val
liant attempt to do away with the
tipping nuisance which has become
such burden to the travelling pub
lie; and it should result in bringin G
merited punishment to that class Of
employer who hires help at starva-
tion wages under the protection of
the tipping system by which the
meagre wages may be supplemented
at the expense of the employed's pa
irons.
Florida particularly is infested
with this sort of employer All
over this state there are proprietors
of hotels and boarding houses and
restaurants who bank on the tips
their employees may be expected to
extract as so much part of their
revenue. Servants are paid wages
too low for decent living, and is a
/, case of get tips or steal for many of
them
But Florida will never have an
anti-tipping law until the hotel
people themselves. support it, If the
hotel people and the commercial
travellers will demand such a law.
and if the newspapers of the state
will help in a campaign against the
tipping nuisance, some legislation
