Members OF the general assembly
from the counties bordering on Mime
sofa are besieged with appeals to get
laws passed that will treat the citizens
OF Minnesota when they come into
Iowa like that state treats Iowans
when they 60 up there. That was the
, object of the bill requiring non-resi-
, dent auctioneers to pay license. If
an Iowa auctioneer attempts to cry a
sale in Minnesota he is Immediately
placed under arrest. The law up there
requires license fee of $40 per an.
nun, but nobody can secure a license
unless d resident of that state for six
! months, but auctioneers come across
the line into Iowa conduct sales and
bring the home banker along to clerk
for him and the proceeds from the sale
all find a place in q Minnesota bank.
There is q law in Minnesota compel
ling nonresidents to take out license
streams, but 10000 citizens of Mime
sofa make pilgrimage to Spirit Lake
and Okoboji every season and no
license is exacted. That is why Game
| Warden HinshaW is SO persistent in
I having a bill passed that will exact a
small contribution from the residents
of that state. And lastly, the bounty
on wolves is only SIS in that state,
whereas $40 is paid in this state on
old wolves. The charge is made that
owners of packs of hounds make it a
business to chase wolves into Iowa be-
fore capturing them so that the in
creased bounty may be obtained. That
was what led to the passage of
law in the Iowa senate reducing the
bounty on male wolves to $40.
Historical Society in Arms.
Senator Thompson Of Burlington has
stirred up considerable Of q commo-
torical society from Iowa City and
merging it with the historical depart,
ment in the historical building at Des
Moines and cutting off the $4,000 that
has been heretofore appropriated for
its use. Senator Thompson says the
measure is in the interest of economy.
He declared the society was getting
good thing previously in the $4,000
appropriation, and overplayed the
proposition by asking the present gen.
eral assembly for $4,000.
To Sell Woman's Reformatory.
The last legislature passed law au- |
thorizing the state board of control to |
establish refOrmatOry for women and |
purchase a tract of land suitable for |
such purpose. Rockwell City, Cal |
houn county, was chosen and q con-
siderable expenditure has been made.
Senator Hale of Jones county has in
troduced bill ordering the sale Of the
and another bill providing for
women in connection with the prison
M TThnrn ovn rvn1 oh
twenty women under restraint at the
prison and Senator Hale argues that It
will not justify the expenditure Of .
couple OF million dollars eventually to
such small number of
people.

garding state departments which may
be profitably combined. The most i'm

I Taxieabs in Disrepute.

the watchful eye of policemen, and
bootleggers transport customers to
some secluded spot outside of the jur-
sdiction of police and detectives. Bee
camps and places where dope may be
dispensed are supported largely by the
victims who appeal to the hack driver
Or the taxicab to be transported to the
place of rendezvous. The driver, be 1t
said in passing. usually knows OF such
places. Senator Lytle of Sioux City
has introduced a bill authorizing cities
to pass ordinances forbidding the op-
GRAFTON of resorts that in the summer
season are under clump of trees In
an out of the way place and Furnishing
the driver of any vehicle who trans
ports persons of either sex to such
places. At present there is no way to
suppress such affairs by issuing in
functions because it is condition
rather than location upon which
such deviltry is predicated.
Bank Measures Numerous.
There are more bills pending to re-
adjust banking in Iowa than have been
on any other one subject.
The bill establishing state banking
separate from the state
auditors Office has passed both houses
and will become law as soon as it
receives the signature Of the governor.
There is yet pending the ODonnell
bill providing for guarantee of bank
deposits and the Bruce bill which pro.
vides that all the laws and regulations
applying to savings banks shall also
apply to state banks, with reference to
oans, deposits and the entire system
Of banking.
Representative Gilbert of Marshall
county also presented q banking bill.
New savings banks incorporating in
owns under 1000 population must
nave $4,000 capital instead Of $4,000,
and in towns from 1000 to 10000 the
is raised from $4,000 to
s25,000 Still another bill placing pri-
Iate banks under state control is being
evolved. 1t is stated that there are
,ver 900 applications for the position
