1Hs "homE RULE" Bill.

The defeat of the bill for home rule
of cities met very decided defeat in
the house Saturday There is no oc-
casion for tears over it's fate.
The bill would have practically sus-
PENDED the operation of the state laws
in the cities. In short cities
would have been paramount govern
ments except as special statutes re-
stricted them. Those who defeated the
bill believed the proposed law granted
too wide latitude ana while rural rep
resentatiyes were strongest against
the bill it found determined opposi-
ton from representatives elected from
larger cities.
1t is question whether the bill rep
resented the desires of the cities of the
state 1t was urged by the Iowa
League of municipalities but that Of it
self is not sufficient evidence OF any
universal demand for the law from the
cities of the state.
At any rate no damage has been
done by defeating it. Iowa cities are
getting along fairly well under present
laws. Ls the home rule law is needed
there is time enough to enact it thru
succeeding legislature. This assem-
bly, evidently considered it unnecessary
or containing dangerous possibilities.

THE EXAMPLE IN DALLAS.


The success of the experimental
campaign by government veterinarians
against hog cholera in Dallas county
should be remarked by nog raisers all
over this state. Dallas county accord
ing to the statistical reports raised
a total of S4.61S swine in 1912, OF which
1921 were lost by cholera, or 2S.4 per
cent. In 1918 the total number of hogs
raised was 1850, the ,oss 10000, or
lO.1 per cent; in July of that year the
special campaign against hog cholera
was begun. In 1914, when the Veteri-
nar!ans were ct work Ihruont the year
the loss by cholera was reduced to
$50 swine out of a total Of 15S,S2O
raised, only 81 per cent.
Two main points lone up for con-
sideration in the Dallas county case;
first. that the serum treatment seems
to have been successful, second that
the campaign differed by experts ap-
pears to have brought the farmers ana
hog raisers to a sense of the necessity
of precaution and prevention. 1t was
necessary to convert many careless
and some ignorant farmers to the truth
that hog cholera is distributed and
doesn't come by an act of providence.
The six uncontrolled centers of infec-
ton which are noted Il the report
came in every case from farmers who
refused to take precautionary meas
ures, who were skeptical, ignorant, and
refused to cooperate properly with
the veterinarians.
Now mark: under the old regime OF
carelessness and opposition Dallas lost
1881 hogs Under the systematic ana
precautionary measures would have
lost that year per cent. Five per
cent would have been 1000 loss against
10000 or a difference of 10000 hogs.
Fifteen thousand hogs brought to ma
turity and sold on the market should
have brought Dallas county in round
numbers not less than $500, 900. Garry
the cash account out in any way pleas
ing. Spend the money for autos or
blooded stock or buy the adjoining
forties wit It. Build permanent roads
at $4,000 a mile with it.
II is worth looking into and very
much worth trying out thoroughly by
every county in the state. The hog
cholera losses of the state, if they can
be reduced approximately to that OF
Dallas would pay all the taxes. build
all the hard roads, attend to capital
extension, carry on the business OF
Iowa and leave enough to buy auto
mobiles for each county supervisor.

Something should be done about
Mexico. If the Monroe doctrine con-
fers police powers it also entails them.
The refusal of the legislature to
compel street railways to provide two
men to the car will be approved In the
smaller cities where the one man prop
osition suits the companies, the en-
ployes and the public which gets more
cars and better service. And it's ac-
ton in requiring all double truck cars
and those hauling trailers to be
equipped with air brakes is in line
with public safety.
The prohibitory law if backed with
plenty of hard labor at the state jag
cure ought in time to make that in
unpopular than it is.
Judging by the bills it has passed
and those it has refused to pass this
legislature doesn't appeal to the aver
age citizen as by any means a bad
one.
If federal law can shut off the sales
of intoxicants as it has sales of habit
forming drugs perhaps national pro-
hibition might work fairly well after
all.
The change toward the liquor ques-
ton is best illustrated by the attitude
of the most influential democratic pa
pers toward the repeal of the mulct.

HOME LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The Cedar Rapids Republican is
becoming excited over the proposed
bill to appoint state officers, under
the direction of the ATTORNEY general.
to see that the prohibition liquor law
is enforced. The Cedar Rapids edi-
tor thinks the bin ds an encroachmnet
upon the rights Of the dear people to
govern themselves. The editor Of the
Cedar Rapids Republican is old enough
and has had enough experience. to
know that the law enforcement of GER
tain kinds. when left to local officials,
Is no enforcement. 1t is asking the
local officials to pay too great price
and too often the dear people them
selves will not back up an official in
doing his sworn duty.
Take present conditions as an ex-
ample. There is not a county in Iowa
where bootlegging is not being prac-
ticed daily and yet it seems impossible
to stop it save in the most fragrant
cases. Are the officials negligent? Not
necessarily. But it is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that it is mighty hard
to prove bootlegging. also that any
local official who prosecuteS q boot
logger must pay an exceptionally high
price for his official acts. The very
man who claims to want law enforce
ment will be the first to turn against
the local officers. and especially is this
true if he should make the least false
step in some boouegging case. And
the guilt of the offending party has
not much bearing on the matter, what
ever.
1t is asking entirely too much to
demand that local man accept local
office, and then subject himself and his
family to all manner of sneers, and
to have his business disrupted and torn
to pieces. We do not mean to COM
mend official laxity, nor advocate that
local officials should have nothing to
do, but we do mean to say that to
throw upon the shoulders of local off,
cials in counties having no police sys-
tenn the whole responsibility for law
enforcement with respect to the liquor
business, is unjust, especially in the
months following next January. when
an extra effort will be made to prove
prohibition does not prohibit.
The bootlegger knows this full well
and likes nothing better than the pres
ent method. 1t gives him chance to
get even with the official, who brought
him to time, by stirring UP petty
hatreds, by circulating stories about
him and his business, and by tnjuring
him in thousand and one ways. But
in the case Of a state, or government
official. this condition does not apply.
The outside officer makes trip into
a community, he takes his man, he
summons witnesses. and he can secure
results because there is no intimida-
ton, no threats and no comebacks for
the officers.
We fail to see where the average
man will be hurt in the proposal law.
We know of no one asking for the local
job and the opportunity Of arresting
bootleggers, so no one will be deprived
of his duties, while on the other hand,
no one knows better than the boot
logger himself how much sinner are his
chances of escape when he stands be-
fore strangers and in the hands OF
officers whom he can not injure by
dirty mud singing.
