tor of the First Congregational church
Of this city, will deliver an illustrated

tions have been extended the Man

fact every citizen having the welfare

SCHOOL ELECTION.

The voters Of the Independent School
District OF Manchester will vote for
two directors on Monday, March 18th.
w. d. HOyt and j. s. Jones are the
retiring directors. Mr.. Hoyt will not
be candidate for reelection. Two
candidates have already filed nomin-
alton papers, ]. s. Jones and DR.. e. G..
Dittmer. Candidates have until March
5th to file nomination papers with
the secretary Of the board. Others
may file but 1t is doubtful IL ahyFOth-
ers will offer themselves as' candidates
against the two who have already filed
their papers. Mr.. Jones has served
several terms as director, filling the
place of the one who by custom is chos-
en- from the district outside of the
city limits of Manchester. He is a
man of careful, we'll balanced judg-
ment and his long experience should
make his reelection unquestioned.
The Democrat considers the candi-
dacy Of DR.. Dittmer a matter OF good
fortune to the school district. The
schools need men of training and ca
pacity. Furthermore 1t is fitting to
have a. doctor on the school board.
This has been found true in the past,
Matters concerning the health Of the
school children are constantly coming
up and the counsel and advise of a
physician on the board is of the great
est value. We urge the election of
both DR.. Dittmer and Mr., Jones. No
better men could be chosen.

Public Utilities Commission. y
A session Of the general assembly
without bill providing for public
utilities commission would be an oddi-
ty. Such measure has been OF bien-
NAL occurrance since he memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary or
words to that effect. Such pOssi-
bility in the present session was feat
ured in the campaign last fall. Rep-
resentative Hansen, of Scott county,
Is the guilty party. His bill would
turn over to the railway commission
ers all rate making authority now en-
ployed in, cities in hands ofscities. The
railroad commission also would be
authorized to fix physical valuations
of utility plants. said valuations to
stand as prima facie correct in courts
of law. The bill further requires
that the commission would be- requir-
ed to establish maximum rates within
six months after it became law which
shall be assumed to be just and reas-
enable.
Revision OF the Code.
It seems to be foregone conclusion
that some action will be taken to app
point a committee to revise the Iowa
code of laws. Bills have been intro
duced in both houses and from the
senate subcommittee consisting OF
Gibson, of Corning, Thompson, of Bur-
lington. and Eversmeyer, of Musca-

Recorder.
Senator Holdogel, Of Rockwell City,
has bill drawn that will put county
recorders out of business. The bill
provides that the work now done by
that official shall be turned over to
the clerk of courts. The bill provides
that special deputy be given the
clerk and during the busy, season in
the spring and fall extra clerks may
be secured. The claim is that a great
saving will result. The bill provides
that the law shall not go into effect
until Jan. /, 1919, in order that all OF
the officers may get the benefits OF
their full terms.
