DISCUSS MONEY MEASURE
[ is.s..i..
League Members Are 20 Consider the
Way to Make up for the Loss
Of Saloon Revenue Next
Year.

Commissioner OF Public Safety ]. A.
NJ. Collins will leave this evening for
Council Bluffs, Ia. to attend the meet
ing Of the League Of Iowa Municipali-
ties which opens there tomorrow
morning to extend through Thursday.
The principal topic OF discussion at
this meeting will be In reference to
the raising Of city revenue when the
repeal OF the mulct law tax goes into
effect on January 1, 1916, and sugges-
tions to relieve the situation both
temporarily and permanently viii be
made.
The League Of Iowa Municipalities
10 an Official state body and II author
feed by law with contributions hxed by
the state so that the expression Of
the meeting will have an important
bearing on the subject.
Last year when the state legislature
passed the prohibition measure there
was q voluntary meeting Of city execu-
tives held In Des Moines to try and
frame a bill to, put through the legis-
lature, which was meeting at that
time, in an attempt to relieve the
situation. They were unable to do
this SO the only thing that could be
recommended was the cutting down
or expenses.
Enlarge General Fund.
At the meeting, however, way out
of the difficulty OF the loss OF the sa-
loon tax, was suggested. This was to
enlarge the general fund into which
the saloon revenue poured, at the ex-
pense Of the other city funds, and the
executives tried to get this passed by
the state legislature. Nothing came
of their efforts, but the idea was such
a good one that 1t will be the chief
subject considered at Council Bluffs.
If the league decides that the max.
ing OF the general fund more elastic
is the best way to make up for the
loss Of saloon revenue, then all mem
bers will work for this and it will
likely be pushed through the next
Legislature but this would not give
relief until 1917. Up till that time all
that can be done is to economic.
IF the city was allowed to proper
ton it's revenue as it saw At 1t could
do very well without the saloon tax
said Commissioner Collins this morn
ing. There are funds such as the
cemetery, and pension funds that are
drawn on very little and II the gem
eral fund could be enlarged at the ex-
pense OF these, the added revenue to
the general fund would Offset the loss
