IOWA RETAIL MERCHANTS As.
ISOLATION ATTEMPTING TO
SECURE LEGISLATION.
WANTS RATES HIGH
ENOUGH TO PAY EXPENSE
Government Held to Be Losing Money
on Business Hauled Long Distances,
Mail Order Houses Being Sole Bsne-
fieariss and Iowa Merchants Losing
Much Trade and Money.

Dubuque, Dec. 15.--The Iowa State
Retail Merchants Association. thru its
secretary. John A. Cunningham, of Du-
| buque, Is engaged in a campaign to
have all Iowa retailers appeal to the
Iowa Representatives in the national
congress TO lend their assistance in
carrying out a project to limit the
weight of parcels post packages to a
maximum of forty pounds and make
such readjustment in the postal rates
as will eventually make each class
self supporting.
The representation is made that the
parcels post regulations are now such
as to take away from the business
men of Iowa much business and give
it to great concerns in the large cities.
On top OF this, it is stated that the
rates are not sufficiently high to make
the parcels post SELF supporting and
the people of the country are taxed to
make up the difference.
The association is circulating among
the retailers of the state copies of the
following resolution passed by the last
general assembly of Iowa,
Be it resolved by the senate of the
the house concurrtng:
Whereas. The glory and prosperity
of Iowa has rested not alone in her
wonderful farms. but also in her pros
porous and beautiful cities and towns
as we'll, and the prosperity of her en-
tire citizenship requires a symetrical
development of both farm and city for
the injury to either is sure to bring a
loss and depreciation to the other and
a decline in the population of the
state; and
Whereas, The rates OF the parcels
post are so low for excessive distances
and the charge for shipment is IN
such unjust and unfair, proportion to
the haul that neither the government
nor the railroads are receiving suffi-
cient compensation TO cover cost Of
service rendered. and q large amount
OF trade that legitimately belongs to
the inhabitants OF the state OF Iowa is
being diverted to the great cities of
the land in distant states This policy
Is depriving thousands OF our best and
brightest young men and women Of
their birthrighs by forcing them to
emigra,e from the state In order that
they may have a chance in the world:
and .... l,
Whereas. These great concerns in
distant cities do not contribute in any
way to the revenues OF the state OF
Iowa nor do they in any way assist
in the education Of the youth Of our
state. They build no roads or bridges
and bear none of our many burdens

conditions Worst in Small Town and
Rural Schools, Whers Fresh Air and
Ventilation Ar Sometimes Entirely
Lacking ~ Commission Points Out
Need Of State controi.

Iowa City. Dec. 15.-The State Uni.
versity of Iowa has recently published
q bulletin showing the result of a study
of hygienic conditions in Iowa schools
The most important findings of the
study are summarized in q circular
letter sent out by the national bureau
of education.
This letter reports that the survey
included towns under 5000 population,
villages and country communities hav.
ing consolidated schools. One-fifth OF
these schools have grounds less than
one acre in size and one tenth report
wet grounds. Forty per cent get drink
ing water from wells, more than half
of the wells being dug. The water Of
25 per cent Of the schools has never
been tested. More than 100 schools re-
ported the distance from well to toilet;
three fifths of these reported such dis
tances as varying from seventy-tive to
100 feet.
Absence Of Fresh Air.
While 81 per cent of these schools
use thermometers, 70 per cent OF
them hang too high to be OF most
value.' Thirty-six per cent do not
regularly air the rooms by opening
windows: so per cent Of the window
shades are not properly hung and
more than SO per cent fail to test the
eyes of children regularly.
In the matter of seating, only IL
per cent have adjustable seats, and
but ~ per cent have single seats
The letter closes with this state
ment:
Need Of State Control.
These facts concerning the hygienic
conditions in the Iowa schools are
typical of the kind OF information
needed for every school system. There
should be more such surveys to be
followed by local propaganda leading
TO improvement of the prevailing con-
ditions."
To the most Indifferent reader even,
this report should suggest the need OF
state control OF all hygienic condi :
tons that affect school children for

De depended upon, IL after several de-
cades OF instruction In school hygiene.

COUNTERFEIT STATE BONDS
False Minnesota Securities Found in
Chicago Raid.

Chicago, July 17-What purports
to be false Minnesota state bonds for
$4,000 and counterfeit currency to
the amount of $4,000 were found by
police who entered a West Side room
ing house to quell a disturbance be-
tween boarders and landlady. Though
the boarders had a trunk so full of
spurious money that two detectives
could hardly lift it they had refused
to pay their rent
Included in the counterfeits were
two thousand genuine 1-dollar bills
which had been raised to fives.
In addition to the bogus currency
and collateral, as expertly initiated as
to readily deceive any layman, there
was taken a complete assortment of
dies, inks, plates, silk paper and 9th
er elaborate equipment for the max
ing of money on short order.

NTI-R0ADHOUSE LAW
is DECLARED VALID

St Paul July 1.-THE anti-road-
house law was held constitutional
by the state supreme court in a de-
eision handed down in the case OF
William l. Kohlman, who was arrest
ed on the charge of operating a blind
pig at Kohlman's lake The decision
OF Judge Michael Of the Ramsey
county district court is reversed.
The court passed on the alleged ir-
regularities which il was urged made
the law void. The defendant urged
that the law was not legally passed
because the house failed to suspend
the rules by a two-thirds vote to per.
nit the second and third readings OF
the bin on the same day.
The supreme court held this is not
necessary, but that the passage of the
law by a vote of more than two-thirds
of the house automatically suspended
the rules They held also that it re
quires no particular formalities to
suspend the rules, but that the body
itself by its action may overcome all
such objections.
The decision puts an end to the
granting of liquor licenses by county
boards and holds that only duly in
corporated cities and villages may
grant such licenses.

GERMAN DASH IN WEST

London July 1.-THE battle in the

several days with violent irregularity,
eliminated in the recapture by the
French of Hill 2S5, which the troops
of Crown Prince Frederick William
had captured by storm Tuesday. and
the first impetus of the German at
tack in this region seems to be lost.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
again come into the limelight, which
brings the Germans within the zone
which they reached last winter when
the Polish capital was saved by a
Russian counter offensive. Petrograd
appears not to be greatly disturbed
over the latest German drive, claim
ing that much severe frontal fighting
must be done before Warsaw can be
surrounded by the forces of Field
Marshals Won Hindenburg and Won
Mackensen.

TEUTONS STRIKING
HARD IN THE EAST

Petrograd, July 17.-On both wings
of the S00-mile battle front, reaching
from the Baltic to Bukowina Russia's
enemies, reinforced by fresh troops,
are striking hard, the war office ad-
mits.
In the extreme north, in the Shawl
and Riga region along the Baltic, the
Germans thus far have been checked
by Cossack regiments.
In Poland Russians have been
forced to evacuate some trenches,
and in Southeast Galicia have given
ground before heavy attacks by the
Austrians.
Official dispatches tend to confirm
reports that the Germans have with.
drawn from Southeast Galicia for a
new offensive in Poland, leaving the
Galician campaign to the Austrians
