REPEAL STERILIZATION LAW.
Miller of Waverly Will Introduce
Bill for Repeal of Much
Landed Law.

Des Moines, Ian. 25.-Proceeding
on the theory that the human race
is improving and that did heredity
faint and cause depreciation of the
human species, the world today, as
descendants of Cain, would be moth
Ing more than moral prevents, Rep
resentative Chas. Miller of Waverly
will introduce early in the session a
bill providing for the repeal of the
sterilization act which was enacted
in this state as applicable to GRIMM
ais and insane in the state institu-
tions.
II do not believe" said Mr.. Miller,
that criminals are the product of
heredity but are rather caused by
environment. / do not wish to men
ton any names but under this steril-
ization law the parents of several Of
our best citizens of Iowa would have
been subject to its provisions and
this state would have been deprived
of some of its most influential and
helpful men,"
Mr.. Miller who has been conspicu-
Gus in several past sessions of the
legislature because of his fight
against doctors and surgeons, pro-
poses to direct his energy during the
present session to the repeal of this
law, which he says is only the de-
sire of doctors and surgeons to prac-
tice their theories on human beings. .
There was time,'' says Mr.. Mil

geons were satisfied to try their theo-
ries out on a dog, but now they are

tice their experiments on wards of

SCHOOL ADOPTS NEW PLAN.
GOldiield High school ReOrsanized
on the SiX-and-SiX Plan or the
JuniOr-Senior High School
Arrangement.

Goldfield, Ia, Jan. 25.-By a un
animous vote OF the board of educe-
tion it has been definitely decided To
reorganize the Goldfield High school
on the siX-and-six plan, or the Junior
senior high school arrangement. BY
this arrangement the seventh, eighth
and ninth grades will occupy what
has been the school auditorium and
the senior high school, or the tenth
eleventh and twelfth grades, will oc-
cupy what is now the high school as
sembly room. 1t will give the sew
enth and eigth grades better instruc-
ton and better advantages in the
way of expert teaching under this
plan.
The minimum salary for high
school teachers will be $40, and from
that salary up to 500 for the high
school principal Each teacher will
have had experience and college
training and the college or universe
ty degree, with special work in the
subject which she is to teach. 1t is
planned to have a teacher each for
science, foreign lam
guage, and history, so that the teach
er will have one subject to teach and
will be able to teach it right.
1t is believed the seventh and
eighth grades will be given create
in vocational work as
well as the better instruction which
is sure to result.
Goldfield claims the honor of hay-
ing the first high school in Iowa to
organize under the junior-senior
plan. There are many schools hav-
ing departmental work, but there is
said to be no school in the state
that has the plan pure and simple.
The work will lie begun September,
1915, under the new system. That
length of time will be required TO
plan and organize and write new
course of study for the six upper
grades.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. %
-Stocker and feeder trade contin-

go 1895 head 529o of the total re-
celpts of cattle here. Prices declined
10 to 20 cents after Tuesday, and
bulk of the cattle went out on the
.ower basis. The run today is IL, 900
head, and contains the usual large
Mond y per cent of stockers and
feeders. Prices are strong to 10
higher, and trade active. The belief
exists in the West that the cattle
run from quarantined sections will
soon subside, at which time there
should be some stiffening of prices.
The general market is strong to 10
higher today, and packers are show
ing more interest in cattle than for
some time. The stocker and feeder
market will keep fully abreast of the

A comparatively small number of the
cattle going to Kansas are going on

forage, ut not enough to cut much

to a rather bare fat cattle marke

What is Woman Worth?
Removal of the limit on woman's

in the Iowa senate by Charles c.

recover for injuries only through
her husband whose recovery is linz
tied to his actual loss of services OF

in case of injury she should have
the right to recover actual damages
as well as her husband.

Innocent By-Standers.

A committee Of railroad presidents
headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull, has
presented to President Wilson a
brief of the difficulties confronting
the railroads brought on by the Eur

has transmitted the memoranda to
the American people, directing atten-

now confronting the railroads.
The railroads are innocent b.

e. T. Meredith, publisher of Sue
cessful Farming, is somewhat of a
Col. Sellers. He is interested in tha
success of the Wilson administrA-
ton. BY virtue of that administra-
ton he is drawing $1,000 per day
and expenses as bank director. Be.
sides that he has princely income
from his farm journal Hard times
miss him several miles. But he has
heard other people are hard up, SO
he proposes a remedy to be operated
through the farmers says the Vinton
Eagle. His plan is that each one OF
his farmer subscribers 100000 in
all-shall spend $4,000 within the
next thirty days, making a total of
$4,000, 900. This he says would
mean prosperity to your partners
the merchant and the manufacturer
and the laboring men of our cities
and towns, and their prosperity
means continued prosperity for you.
We are all one big family in this
country. Our interests are one. Let's
pun together. We are going 20
spend this money anyhow, and if we
.spend it now, instead of sixty or
ninety days from now it will do vast
ly more good to the general business
condition" And Colonel" suppose
those subscribers OF yours would
continue to spend 500 each and ev-
cry month for the year there would
be nearly a billion dollars put into
circulation. And then suppose you
got the vast thousands of subscrib-
ers of the Homestead, the Iowa
Farmer, the Wallaces' Farmer, the
Ef6eder's Gazette, the Prairie Farm
er, the Country Gentleman, etc, etc,
to do the same thing for one month
or twelve months. All, quit, we feel
our pockets bullying now. The
Colonel has given us a new phil
Osophy-that the spending of money
