mulct law.
There has been reduction Of
in the state in the last twelve months.
the report shows. This Is due to the
closing of eighty-six saloons in Des
M6ines and two in Valley Junction.
Special legislation by the Thirty
sixth general assembly prevented re-
duction in the number of saloons on
July i. 1915. in Dubuque and Daven-
port to one to every 1000 inhabitants.
Warning Them Now.
As 1t is certain that the saloons
must close on Jan. 1, the temperance
forces are warning the men engaged in
that business to prepare to get out
when the time comes. With more than
three months to prepare, the drys say
that every man drawing wages from
the liquor interests will have oppor-
tunity to land some other job. so that
there should be but little inconvenience
when the bars close permanently.
A year ago there were 81 saloons in
Iowa. There are now 4s3 booze estab-
Hshments. The reduction in two years
has been 1856.

Comparative Populations.
The total population Of the state
according to the 1910 census is 2,224.-
III. The population Of the cities and
towns now having saloons is 3s4,534.
Davenport has seventy-four saloons
Under the mulct law 1t is entitled to

has nfty-e eight saloons, while only
thirty eight would be permitted under
the mulct law. The last legislature
granted these cities permission to
continue all the booze establishments
in operation. until Jan. /, 1915, when

In making the tax levies for 1916
the river towns are taking into the
