COX WILL MAKE
NO FIGHT TO HOLD
OFFICE ON B. OF H.

DR.. J. E. Taylor, of Live Oak. state
health officer since DR.. Joseph Y.
Porter resigned to go into the federal
service, has turned over the office to
the state health boards newly elected
officer, DR.. w. H. Cox, and there will
be no court proceedings, as was ru-
mored for several days prior TO the
meeting of the newly appointed board.
The newly created state board of
health met at the laboratory in Jack
sonville, Thursday, says the Metrop-
oils, and went over the reports of the
operations of the state board for the
last twelve months.
Material changes are scheduled to
be made in the personnel of the ply
sicians of the state board of health,
and professional nurses that have
been in the service of the state board
for some months, will be discontinued
for the present.
Bulletins of the state board of
health and the regular press service
will be continued until further notice
and it is the idea of the new board to
eliminate entirely and political prefer
ment in the appointment of the doc
tors who are to cooperate with the
board in carrying out the provisions
of the law regulating the work of the
board.
According to the members of the
newly elected board, they feel they
are the servants of the people and will
endeavor to secure the cooperation OF
all the people of the state in extend
ing the scope of the health board
There was approximately $4,000
on hand for the new board to take up
the work of the health department
when the new members took charge
this week, with about $4,000 to be
paid for the expenses of the month of
May to be deducted. 1t is the idea of
the new board to keep within the in
come of the department and not have
any bills over that would require dis
counting before the revenue of the
next month was available.
Florida now has laboratories at
| Pensacola, Key West, Jacksonville
Tallahassee, Tampa and Miami, and
these will be maintained under the
new board. No radical changes will
| be made in the clerical departments
of different laboratories at present.

the work of the state health depart
ment, and with the selection of DR.

seem to have perfected an organiza
ton that will develop into one of thu
best state departments under the new
administration.
DR.. Hiram Bird, former member O.
the state board of health, has beer
selected as scientific secretary, which
in reality is assistant state health Of
ficer, and Roy Campbell, of Tampa
has been selected as chief clerk fo
the board. Mr.. Campbell was at thu

Des Moines. Feb. S.-At a meeting of
the senate committee on the suppress
sion Of intemperance of the Iowa legis-
lature, held yesterday afternoon, it was
voted to recommend two of Senator
Whitmore's dry bills out for passage
and it Is expected they will be so rec
commended today. They are senate file
No. 5, providing that the place Of de-
livery shall constitute the place of sale,
and senate file No. 7, prohibiting the
advertising of Intoxicating liquors,
Over on the house side Of the Iowa
legislature lines are Tightening up for
the road fight. The Pitt Johnston road
law, which has been longer in coming
out than any one anticipated. may come
out today 1t was kept back yester-
day because the two Polk county rep
resentatiyes staged fight over the bill
by Representative Weaver, of Polk, to
authorize cities of over $4,000 to estab-
lish community centers. Representative
Starzinger succeeded in having the ma
jority report Of the house committee
against the bill but it was voted on the
floor thru the minority report and won
out by vote of SO to 10.
This community center measure au-
thorizes cities of 10000 or more to es-
tablish community center districts and
erect community center houses and re-
creation grounds. It provides for a
three mill tax levy and the submission
to the voters of the district of the
question of bond issue.
Points Against Road Bill.
The opponents of the tt-Johnston
road bill have outIfneo the points
against the bill as follows:
"That it would throw road and
bridge building in Iowa back into poll
tics: that it would establish a one man
highway commission subject to the gov
ernor who would appoint him and the
influences back of the governor; that
the highway commissioner would in
reality have no authority; that county
boards could do constructing work
without regard to any supervision by
any commissioner; that the provision
prohibiting bonds would paralyze road
and bridge improvement; that it is i'm
practical to move the highway commits
sion to Des Moines; that $4,000 annu-
ally for the state highway department
would get nowhere when it comes to the
proper advancement Of the road and
bridge work Of the state"
Friends of tt highway commission in
| the senate declare the bill will not pass
the senate, even, tho it should pass the
house az did the, Johnston bill of two
years ago.
