MORE RIGID REGULATION NEEDED.

-
Commenting on the proposal to enact by city
ordinance more stringent regulations for the
purchase of firearms Retiring Deputy Attor-
ney general Scott draws attention to terri
torial statute passed by the last legislature.
The statute provides that
whenever any person or ira corporation or CO.
partnership, dealing keeping for sale firearms
ammunition, shall make sale OF any such firearms or
ammunition, shall In any manner dispose of same
another person. 1t shall be the duty Of such person
hrms corporation or copartnership forthwith to re
port the same to the clerk and also to the sheriff Of
the county the city and county in which such per-
son. nrm. corporation, copartnership resides,
wherein such sale disposal takes place. and such
report shall contain the name Of the owner, the name
Of the purchaser. the date of the SALE and the de-
scrption of the firearms ammunition Sold as the
case may be. together with the factory number of
the frsarm; and also such other information as shall
comply as as possible with all the requirements
Of this chapter"
There is also section providing for the
prosecution, conviction and punishment of any
person or individual failing to comply with
the law
So far as information at the city hall goes,
this law is being honored far more in the breach
than in the observance. Instead of the sale of
weapons being reported forthwith to the
clerk and also to the sheriff, with full details,
the report is made only semi annually, and then
with but meager information. Thus the law
is hardly complied with.
But even the territorial statute in its present
form does not effectively cope with the situa-
tioil--a situation which lis a decided and an in
creasing menace to the community. The law
or the ordinance that is needed is one that will
compel q purchaser to secure permit before
buying q weapon dangerous to life. Further
more, the permit should be secured from the
police department. If the would-be purchaser
is an irresponsible person, the permit should

A race-meet at Kapiolani park during the
Carnival will be feature deserving Of public
support if the Carnival mahag cement and those
in charge of the races eliminate the betting
evil. There have been race-meets not so long
since where in front of the grandstand the
races were apparently soi the square, 2 while
under the grandstands, ID the paddock and
around the stables were circulating stin-horn' =
sports, gamblers, touts and cheap bookmakers
reaping harvest After every such affair
there have been rumors of fixed races and
crooked riding until the lover of clean sport
became disguised, Unless the Carnival man
agement can give assurances that betting will
not only be formally prohibited but actually
eliminated, the meet should not be made a
Carnival feature; if this assurance is given,
then the strongest support can be given the
proposed event. Horse-racing is q splendid
sport and on mainland tracks it has been shown
that horse-racing without systematic betting
is possible.

THE NEW "BLUE SKY" LAW.
People Will Still Have to Keep Their
Eyes Open in Iowa, When They
Invest Their Money.

The state of Iowa again has a
blue Sky Law" OF course, that
does not mean that there will be no
sharpers abroad in the land trying
to separate hard working people
from their savings. But in some
measure, there will be an effort to
curb some kind of swindle and swim
dlers. One who has looked into the
new measure writes as follows:
In few days the new "blue sky
law will be put into operation and all
persons who have securities of any
kind to offer for sale in the state,
who have confidence, in the same or
who are perfectly willing to have the
light of publicity shine upon their
doings, will proceed to secure per-
mits for sale of such securities and
pay nominal fee to the state of
Iowa.
The new law to protect Iowa in
vestors differs from the old one in
that the new one is distinctly a stat
ute against frauds. When applica-
! ton is made for a permit to sell Sc
curities the secretary of state must
investigate, first by security of the
application blanks as filled out and
signed under oath, and if not fully
satisfied then to make or cause to be
made, a personal investigation. He
must be convinced that the securities
are honestly offered with purpose to
repay. In case the secretary of state
is convinced that the scheme is fraud
, ulent or will work fraud, he will
reject the application and refuse the
permit. 1t all hinges on the question
of fraud.
This is the plan of operation of
"blue sky" laws agreed upon by the
attorney generals of several states
where cases were pending and tacitly
agreed to by the. representatives of
the investment brokers who deal in
blue sky securities.
The new Iowa law does not cover
land sale contracts of any kind. 1t
does not affect the sale of any stock
of corporations organized in Iowa
and complying fully with the Iowa
law as to character of the stock is
sued. Such stock can be sold with
out special permit
The issue of a permit to sell stock
of an outside corporation in Iowa
pany whose stock is thus sold to en-
gage in business in Iowa. Much con-
fusion has arisen on this point
Under the old law the secretary of
state issued eighty-one permits to
sell securities, and three licenses to
brokers. There were two applications
for permits refused. One of the ap-
plicants has since been doing bust
ness in Iowa through the mails
The organization of "blue sky Sc
curities dealers, which fought the
old law will, it is assumed fight
the new one. While they have in
sisted they want law that will shut
out fraud it is stated they have gone
into court in every state to kill off
every law that has been passed.

POSTMASTER SERVES 80 YEARS.
OsceOla Veteran Public Servant Re-
tires Monday After Long Term.

After having served the people of
Osceola as postmaster for thirty-nine
years w. G. Agnew checked out on
Monday and turned the keys over to
Theodore Wall into whose lap the
political plum fell after vigorous
shaking of the political tree from a
period extending over several moons.
Mr.. Agnew received his first COM
mission as postmaster of Osceola
during the administration of Presi-
dent johnson in 1868. His next
commission bears the signature Of
U. S. Grant in 1872. He was again
commissioned by Ruthford B. Hayes
in 1880. His next commission was
signed by Chester A. Arthur in 1886.
He was again commissioned by Ben
jamin Harrison in 1889. His next
commission was signed by Theodore
Roosevelt in 1896 and the last by
William Howard Taft in 1910. In all
Mr.. Agnew served thirty-nine years
through or into nearly every presi-
of Lincoln. Because of his loyalty
to the political party of his choice he
resigned during the Cleveland ad-
ululSIIdClOu NY luc IcQueol VI tue uS-
partment. Though Mr.. Agnew has
always been a strong true republi-
can he has never been an offensive
partisan His modest business-like
official conduct has greatly endeared
him to the patrons of the Office over
which he has presided for SO many
years. His name has been a house
hold word of courtesy and respect in
Osceola and Clarke county for nearly
half century. His genial face will
be missed from its accustomed place
but his friends are extending con-
CALCULATIONS to him upon the oppor
tunity he now has for rest and recre-
alton.
When Mr.. Agnew was first ap-
pointed he received a salary Of 5000
per year. The mail at that time was
carried by stage over star routes to
Indianola, Winterset, Hopeville, etc.
The Osceola postmaster now receives
a salary of $1,000 per year and depu-
ty $1,000. The two clerks receive
$1,000 and 5000 respectively. Seven
carriers are paid as follows:
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1915-04-29

Under Mr.. Agnew's direction the
service has been most excellent and
as the civil service rules provide no
change in the office Postmaster Wall
may not be obliged to make any
change in the clerical force. thereby
assuring a continuation of the organ
ization made by Mr.. Agnew.
In June, 1861, Mr.. Agnew enlisted
in Company B, 3rd Iowa Infantry,
where he served until July, 1862. He
served number of years as deputy
U. S. Marshal Of the Fourth district
with headquarters at Grinnell. He
located in Clarke county in 1867.
Besides his long service as postmast-
er he found time to serve Clarke
county as q member of the Twenty
first and Twenty-second sessions Of
the General Assembly. Probably no
other citizen Of Iowa has record of
efficient public service extending over
30 many years - has Wallace g.

ed for an assessment to pay for per-
manent office building and vaults for
the records of the I. o. o. F. lodge.
The resolution provided that the build
lngs should be erected in Topeka, the
official home of Kansas Odd Fellows.
When the convention was held in
Topeka recently, Brown is said to
have been responsible for several sug
gestions that resulted in upsetting i'm
mediate plans for a permanent home
and placed Wichita in the race for the
state offices. While in Topeka Brown
suggested that the new buildings
should not be erected until there was
sufficient money in the treasury to do
the work. The motion to postpone
action until 1919 was adopted.
Then Brown and his friends started
the fight to take the 1916 convention
to Wichita. That town won the next
meeting.
Now with the 1916 convention book
ed for Wichita and no town specifical-
ly mentioned in the amended resolu-
ton for permanent headquarters, it is
asserted that Brown outplayed the To-
peka supporters and gave Wichita the
inside track. As for the resolution to
postpone building, it is declared to be

place, passing Blanche Sweet There
were about 80 other actresses who
received less than 100 votes
William Farnum had his hands full
