FOR PEACE. AND ORDER
State Plans to Stamp Out Any Dis

| The state of Iowa is going 10 take
I body blow at disloyalty in its Dor
fders at meeting Of state, county and
! city officials, with Governor w. l.
Harding and federal officials at Des
! Moines --ext Monday.
1 Mayor Ed S. Lotion has received q
letter from the governor inviting him
to the meeting which will be held in
| the chamber of the house of repre-.
sentatives at 10 o'clock in the morn
| ing. The governors letter is in part
as follows
"At a recent meeting of the state
council of defense, the question OF
peace and order in the various coun-
ties of our state was under discus
sion. 1t was the unanimous decision
of those present that there ought to
be a closer cooperation between the
local authorities, this office and the
federal authorities. The work before
all of us in the conduct of the war is
so vital that an exchange of ideas
and a thorough understanding of the
objects to be accomplished, ought to
be definitely set out.
1T is the duty of every officer TO
stand back of those in authority, who
are responsible Tor the conduct of the
war
During the period of the war We
cannot countenance disloyalty in any
form So far our state has a splen-
did record and it is my hope that sac
record may continue good unIl the
end In order to bring this about it
is going to require active, energetic
work on the part of every official.
Representatives of the federal govern
ment will be ar the meeting 10 coop
crate with US and TO outline plan of
procedure so that disl5yalty on the
part of any of our citizens can be
known and stamped out.
Matters have arisen in connec-
ton with the CONSUMPTION act that
ought to be thoroughly understood by
all and these subjects VII be dis
cussed. Reports have come to US that
icause us to believe that there are
slackers and definite plan should be
worked out and understood by al. 50
that the work in connection with thfs
can be uniform"
The following law enacted April 81
by the rhirty-seyenth general assem-
bly, defines disloyalty and Its punish
ment in Iowa:
Inciting Hostilities, etc.-Any per-
son who shall in public or private, by
speech, writing. printing or by any
other mode or means advocate the
subversion and destruction by force
of the government OF the state Of
Iowa or Of the United States, or at
tempt by speech, writing, >rintlng, or
in any way- whatsoever to incfts or
abet, promote or encourage hostility
or opposition to the government of
the state Of Iowa or of the United
States shall be guilty of misiemean-
or and upon conviction shall be pun
tshed by imprisonment in the county
jail not lesg than six months nor more
than one year, and shall be fined not
less than three hundred nor more
