All of the information given in the
telegram sent by the father. George

the Cedar Rapids police. The school

The school records give the John

the installation of military training in
the high school arose today when the
Fort Dodge Trades and Labor AS
sembly passed a resolution condemn
ing the proposition and asking that
the matter be placed before the tax
payers before any action takes place.
This resolution is in line with the

tension Of military training in the
schools of the county and resisting
any movement which they believe
tends toward the establishing of a
stronger feeling Of militarism in the

Des Moines, Aug. Law enforce.
ment in the state dairy and food de-
partment has a powerful weapon in the
H law which requires the licensing OF
food and drug vendors. giving the
state commissioner power to revoke
the license II food laws are violated.
fhis is the conclusion reached by
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
W. B. Barney in his annual address at
Detroit today before the National As
ISOLATION of Dairy, Food and Drug Of
ncials, OF which organization he is the
president 80.
81 After an experience Of more than
six years at the head Of the DEPART
ment in our state where have the en-
forcement Of twelve laws, am obliged
to say that the license feature in many
OF these laws is the strongest, best ana
most helpful section they contain" the
lows commissioner declared.
We believe the license clause in Our
sAnitary law has cut down the total
number Of prosecutions over 100 pei
cent. We have not been obliged to re-
yoke more than q dozen licenses
Year. The revoking Of licenses is a
big stick with which to line up the
wilfuI offender. This especially is true
where the commissioner is given the
authority to revoke the licenses
Licences Not Burdensome.
Commissioner Barney said these IL
censes to food and drug vendors should
not be large enough to be burdensome.
In Iowa they range from 81 per year, a
milk dealers license fee, to So, the fee
for testing scales. The annual revenue
to the state has increased in the last
six years. he said, from about $500
to $4,000.
I'VE find too that our legislature is
more apt to look with favor on changes
in our old laws. or the enactment of
new legislation, if commissioner can
show that the department issself sup
porting or nearly 50.
For some time my conclusions have
been that there is no calling In life in
which we do not find a small percent
age OF men who will for. pecuniary
gain use dishonest methods, or what
we might less harshly term sharp
practice. But this - no reason why
the better class Of men In the trade
should not, to q certain extent, be
taken into your confidence. 1t be-
comes comparatively easy to enforce
4 " or regulation where seventy ave
a greater percentage Of the trade to
regulated Is perfectly willing to
.omply.
Il have frequently said in talks be-
fore clubs and associations and at 9th
er times that the best way for the pub
lie to get rid Of the insanitry~ place, or
y short weight place. is to4patronixe
the clean place and the honest dealer"
Failure to enforce the law tends to
promote dishonesty, he said. He salt
that If one dealer in town adulterated
his products and went unpublished, the
fother dealers would be forced to do the
same thing to meet competition and
thus one crook would make all hi:
competitors dishonest who before had
been honest.
