mean q general advance Of Iowa
freight rates to point about so per
cent higher than the prevailing tariffs.
The commission estimated that such
an increase would cost shippers Of the
state S14,41e.22s during the biennial
period for which the appropriation is
asked. The commission asks that the
legislature appropriate sufficient funds
for the commission to contest any at
tempt on the part Of the railroads or
the interstate commerce commission to
increase Iowa rates and declares there
is the additional possibility Of an at
tack on the 2-cent fare passenger law,
which is at the present time under
fire in Illinois. Regarding the pas
senger law. the statement Of the COM
mission says:
The intra- state passenger earnings
in Iowa during the two fiscal years
past amount to $21,49373S.5I. Prac-
tically all Of this business moved on
the 2-cent passenger fare basis. II the
rate which has already been found by
the interstate commerce commission
to be reasonable should be extended to
Iowa state business it would mean an
Iowa people during the next two years
of s4,29s. 747.6l."
The statement concludes:
The money involved in these prob
able rate increases, both freight and
passenger, il such Increase should be
permitted to become effective, must all
come directly from the people of Iowa.
We submit that every. possible effort
should be made to protect our people
from these additional tax burdens.
According to members Of the COM
mission the reported fare raising
wedge is TO be entered at Davenport.
Railroa DIS. it is said will increase rates
from Rock Island. Ill. to Iowa points
while Davenport shippers will still be
able to take advantage Of the lower
Iowa intra-state rates. II was pointed
OUT that If the precedent set by other
decisions is followed the Iowa rates
could be declared discriminatory in
favor Of Davenport. A similar situa-
ton might exist, it was pointed out, at
Council Bluffs and Omaha.

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard of Cleanliness in
Residences and Business Houses.

The city Of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and busi-
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition Of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions "Clean," "Dirty" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health of the city.
The board of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
to afiix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean' will not be
placarded, but those In which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be dcs-
ignated as dirty" or "1ilthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
AS the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pa-
cards must remain on the houses or
places Of business until the board Is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme pen
atty Of the law can be enforced.
