No. so is probably the strictest of its
kind on the statute books of any state
in the union. 1t is believed it will
absolutely prohibit bootlegging or the
illegal sale or use of intoxicating Ii
quors in counties which are now oper-
ating under the local option laws and
where they have had violations, while
its terms will apply to the state as a
whole when the statewide prohibition
act goes into force and effect.
DANISH BAWDY HOUSES.
The Iowa abatement act. which it
is expected will make the bawdy
house and dens of illrepute thing of
the past in this state, also became
effective today. The new law is fill

expression, moral nuisance" as those
places where acts are committed that
are indecent or offensive OF the '.con-
Quoting of a place for the purpose of

There became effective in this state

lature, other than those acts which

came effective from and after their
approval. There was total of GA
bills introduced in the two branches
of the Legislature, of which number
231 were passed and sent to the COVER
nor, who disapproved 63 of them, leav-

GUS laws are amended; others are re-
pealed. Included in the the list of
laws effective today are number Of
important acts. The most important
measure, however, that was passed

and seal subscribed to by his oath of
the secretary of state, as though no
action had been taken by the COVER
nor. No mention is made of the fact
the governor had vetoed the item or
items in part and approved them in
part. All other acts where the COVER
nor approved or the appropriations
were vetoed in toto contain after them
the statement they were approved on
certain date. The attorney general
held that the governor was not vested
with constitutional authority to veto
an appropriation in part and where
this was attempted the appropriation
stands as though approved in full.
This is true in the $26, 900 appropria-
ton made for the King Hill project
which the governor only approved half
of that sum and in the appropriation
made for the Gem irrigation district.
In department appropriations where
the governor attempted to Scale and
reduce, the acts carry the full appro-
priations, but where any item was
vetoed in full the secretary of state
dropped it in its entirety.
1t is now believed that because of
this action in SO publishing the ses-
sion laws of 1915 there will be con-
siderable confusion and it will require
test case in the courts to determine
whether the governors action will
stand on the appropriations or the
opinion of the attorney general on
whose advice the secretary of state
acted.

IL said that subleases bring now six
times the price fixed in the original

this situation Is that H~amburg's free

eminence despite higher harbor dues
and higher transportation rates. From
the shippers standpoint. as well as
that OF the importing-eXporter, the
ultimate benefits overbalance these
first charges. The freedom with which
their goods can be handled and the
ease OF transshipment also bring COM

ment Of the capital Of Denmark. Then
It was that the State decided to give
Copenhagen a free port. and in 1891
Parliament authorized such a step.
The Danes were shrewd enough to
copy the free port OF Hamburg in
principle by including the right 10
manufacture within the confines of
the free port OF Copenhagen. That
they did wisely al be gathered from
the fact that during the decade from
1900 to 1910 the tonnage in the free
port increased 100 per cent, while
that in the old harbor augmented only
I per cent.
In Bremen the tonnage handled in
the free port grew fivefold during the
period between 1889, the date of its
beginning. and 1904. Fully half Of the
tonnage received at Bremen was in
transit and intended for transship-
ment. The Free Port Warehouse
Company's buildings at Hamburg have
floor space amounting to more than
5000, 900 square feet. There the i'm

rules for wholesale purchasing by

|. Organize roups of from three to
ten families.
2. Make them business groups and
not friendship groups,
3, Confne membership to an area OF
two or less books.
4. Elect one member to do all the
purchasing.
3. Buy wholesale.
6. Require deposits from members be-
fore purchases are made. and then pay
cash.
7. Order carefully and then stand by

3. Buy early.

wares of several dealers.

creased An engineer who has given
much thought 10 port needs, DIR. T.
Kennard Thomson, has suggested the
establishment of such a port upon re-
claimed lane contiguous to the south
eastern shore of staten Island. He
would make this area out of one of the
units by which we would create a new
and landlocked lower bay.
The waters lying off Staten Island
on the east are generally shallow" he
said, and this would contribute to
chcapness of reclamation, The sand
and mud dredged up in making the
approaches and the shipping basins
could he pumped directly into
the areas 20 he raised above

he readily leased at a figure guarantee

cal circumstances lend themselves adj
mirably to the speedy execution Of
such a project. The prime aim is, of
course, to coordinate all efforts and tn
reduce the problem of administration
to the simplest terms. But this is not
all.

the warehouses should he unified for

in less than a years time, showing
practical results that stand as a
working model for any city whose
population wants to reduce the cost
Of living.
At the outbreak OF the European
war, while the prices of foodstums
were soaring rapidly to appalling
heights, wholesale and retail prices
for fresh produce and fruits In Wash
ington's municipal markets were
much lower than for any similar pc
rlod since 1904. There had been n
general complaint among the con-
sumers, who felt that the war was
merely a thin excuse for the retailer
to tuck on two to ten or more cents
on staple foodstuffs which he was
buying Mt the usual prices. A thor
ough investigation was conducted by
the District officials, and especially by
John II. Sherman, who had recently
been appointed Superintendent Of the
Weights, Measures and Markets De-
partment OF the District Of Columbia,
1t wal not a theoretical assistance
advanced through the channels Of
essays on "How to economlze in the
home" but a general and widespread
invitation which was issued to all
the housekeepers In Washington who
were interested In practical econ
omy to attend lectures which Mr..
Sherman gave in the Municipal
Building three mornings in each week.
In these lectures the housewives were
instructed Just why the retail prices

II does away with control Of customs

The best notion of the value OF n
free port can be gathered from the
financial results of its working. II
must be recalled that in the cases of
the free ports of Hamburg. Bremen
and Copenhagen the needful capital
has been provided in part by the State
and the rest by private enterprise.
The State Of Hamburg realized 3.5 per
cent upon its investment from 1883 to
1906; from 1906 to 1909 the return was
5.5 per cent: and IL Is said hat the
dividend has been larger since. The
Free Port Warehouse Company paid
s per cent. dividend from the begin
ming up to 1905; from 1906 to 1908,
5.5 per cent, and before the outbreak

ture of all this has been the absolute
absence of hostility on the part OF the
middlcmen.

prices. but it also means better and
more regular supply and every cause

he could not possibly have developed

comment is significant: I'D he afraid

These markets are being u with
success to all concerned. The inside
dealers stalls rent for s. a month and
this price includes heat. light, running
water and delivery Of goods. Some Of
the stalls do not need refrigcratlon:
where 1t Is needed the bare cost IL all
that IL charged the dealer. After the
initial expense Of building the market
the net revenue has been found to
amply cover all running expenses.
Mr., Sherman's enthusiasm in his at
tempt to reduce the living expenses of
the masses in the city Of Washington
Is not to be confined to the District
Of Columbia, but the plan as outlined
and partially materialized will stand
as a working model for other cities
whose infant death rate and racial
suicide are statistically known to in
crease proportionately with the cost Of
fo%odstuffs. Washington feels that
there is "A splendid purpose back of
this experiment., far reaching in its
various individual phases, which eX-
tend from the hard working farmer
who logs into market long before
dawn to the worried woman whose
household expenses are such that there
