SOME QUEER
LAWS PASSED
Prohibition Legislation In Iowa En-

Measures.

prohibition legislation history, be-
tween the passage Of the prohibition

years later and down through the
wears to the mulct law at 1894 and
repeal Of the latter in 1915, the state
has tried everything. 1t ,r.eI Zeal
option and license and eyery known
degree of the two latter.
Naturally, in such long legisla-
tive treatment of the liquor problem
the legislatures enacted fresk laws,
One example is the act of March ~,
1862, providing that anyone causing
drunkenness should be forcof tc pay
81 per day to the person who took
care 81 the drunk.
This and two other minor laws
were the only enactments OF the
legislatures on the liquor question
during the civil war The war COM
pletely swamped consideration OF
prohibition. Temperance workers re
garded the war as a misfortune to
their cause as it gave saloon keepers
an opportunity to extend the busi'
nesses unmolested.
Home rule (local option by coun-
ties) on the liquor question was
adopted in 1870.
Two years later another freak bill
became law, providing nc person
holding a permit to, sell liquor be
allowed a greater profit than 33 per-
cent on the cost, including freight.
Monthly reports to the county audi
tors were required Of saloon keepers.
In 1876, bill was passed to re-
NIT fines for drunkenness II the
drunk" testified against the saloon
keeper responsible for his condition.

IAN Editorial From The Green Bay
f5as Press-Gazette.

III PresS-GaZette.
We congratulate the city OF La
Crosse as we'll as the owners OF
the Leader-Press and the Trib-
une upon the consolidation of
these weIl-known newspapers, an
nouncement of which has just
been made. It is the logical
outcome Of situation which has
long operated against the inter-
ests of both city and publishers.
A city Of La Crosses population.
about $4,000. cannot support two
creditable newspapers; eventual
ly it settles down to the elimina-
ton of one or the deterioration
Of both, and cities innumerable
can bear testimony to the fact
that lone good newspaper is bet
ter than two poor ones. Neither
The Leader-Press nor the Trib-
une has been a profitable invest
ment as competitors. considering
the amount of capital and energy
and ability put into them. They
have been compelled to carry ad-
vertising at rates which could not
possibly gay and which at the
high cost of white paper actually
lost money. Consolidation was
the inevitable sensible solution.
AS result La Crosse should have
q better newspaper than it has
ever had before. That newspaper
will be able to earn enough money
to give it strength and tone and
character; to increase its new IA
oil tn civ fhn a
altogether superior publication OF
a class which could not be pro-
duced with two papers in the field.
1t should be better booster"
for La Crosse and a larger fac
tor in the upbuilding and advance
ment of the city than any news
paper in the past.
Every year adds to the list of
newspaper consultations and 70
the proof that they are decidedly
for the benefit of communities,
subscribers, advertisers and news
papers alike. During the last fiji
teen months in the neighboring
state of Michigan. four important
consultations have taken place.
Perhaps the most striking of all
was in Kalamazoo, which is one
of the finest, most prosperous and
rapidly growing cities in the
state, with a population Of close to
$4,000. There the morning paper
had for a generation been the
big, dominating newspaper. SEN
ator William Alden Smith, owner
of the Grand Rapids Herald, and
other newspaper men bought the
rundown afternoon paper and at
ter publishing 1t little more than
year forced the morning COM
petitor to abandon his field and
enter the afternoon field. The
morning newspaper could not
pay, as 1t seldom If ever pays in
a city of less than $4,000, and the
two could not pay as afternoon
nane.s., The result was a console
dation, and today Kalamazoo has
q single newspaper and one OF
the best in the state. The other
consolidation was at Bay City. be-
tween $4,000. and $4,000 popula-
ton, where the morning paper
went out of existence after having
been published half century aud
was merged with the afternoon
paper. being the only daily now

which says something about beating

each OF them must understand that
