Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 23.-The state ex-
ecutive council will within few days
send out specifications for the pur-
chase of $4,000 pairs Of automobile
plates to be used beginning January
1919. The last time the state bought
plates they were secured for 25.2 cents
per pair but with steel much higher it
is expected they will go higher this
year:
Under the present law the automobile
plates are used for three years. Secre-
tary Of State W. S. Allen has always
been opposed to this law claiming that
it is much easier for an owner to dodge
paying his automobile license money
when he can carry his plate for three
years than under the plan OF changing
each year.
For some reason or other this state
has never adopted the plan Of attach
ing a small stee. plate to the old auto
license plate lis followed in Cali
fornia and other states. The small steel
plate can bear the date Of the current
year. The big plate is made with slots
for the small steel date plate to At into.
These small steel date plates two years
ago were sold at 2 cents each. With
their use all that would be necessary
in renewing a license for used car
would be to send out this small plate
for the owner to attach.
A revision Of the present automobile
law for this was placed before the re-
trenchment and reform committee at
the last session OF the legislature but
it was not proposed by the committee.

Control Ready For Applications.

Iowa City, April 23.-Prisoners OF
the state penitentiaries are to be al
lowed to help the government this
summer by working on the farm. In
view of the urgent need for crops the
state board of parole has decided to
give the we'll behaved prisoners o
chance to prove their loyalty. The
men are to be paroled to the farmers
needing help. Farmers who can use
one or more men are requested 10
communicate with Sheriff R J. WHEY.
Most Of the men are serving time TOT
their FIRST offense or the victim OF cir
cumstances that led them to take the
false step of their lives. Only the pris-
oners VINO have won this privilege by
good behavior are to be paroled. These
men are willing, good workers, ana
they have proved they are to be
trusted or they would not be released
by the authorities. They are men
who want q trial, then need some
one to trust them. They are willing
to prove they can be trusted. They
want to rub out, the blot on their
names.
The state realizes the importance OF
conserving man power for cnlttvat!ng
crops for food. At the prison the men
would have to be kept in partial ldle-
ness The men to be paroled are
prisoners who have had more or less
experience in farm work.

STATE PROTESTS AGAINST PROF
ITEERING OF DEALERS IN
FOODS.
WHEAT FLOUR SELLING
BELOW OTHER FLOURS
Complaint Is Filed With Senator Ken
yon and Question Is Put Up to
Hoover--Food Administrators Reply
Not Consistent With His Previous
Utterances.
by E. G.. Dougherty.]

Washington, April 23.-The high cost
of living, which now is emphasized by
the food administration regulations
requiring the purchase of equal guam
chases, has begun TO cause worry to
some of the large educational institu-
tons of Iowa. In letter to Senator
Kenyon, member of the faculty of
Grinnell College has inquired if there
is not some way by which the price OF
wheat substitutes might be regulated
the same as wheat prices. The writer
points out that he is arranging for his
food supply for the next college year
and while he desires to vigorously sub
scribe TO the regulation requiring the
purchase Of wheat substitutes in equal
quantity with wheat, he brings up the
point that the price OF the substitutes
is wholly out of proportion to the price
of wheat itself.
The prices quoted on 200 pound bar
rels given by the Grinnell College
writer follow: Wheat flour, sl0.S5;
rice -four, SIS; oats flour, sl3; corn
flour, 3d. barley flour, sl4.
Knowing the prices at which corn,
oats and barley are selling" the writer
asserts, "it seems peculiar to the writer
that the -four made from these prod
ucts should sell for more than wheat
four
Hoover inconsistent.
Senator Kenyon referred the in
duiry to Food Administrator Hoover,
who laid the blame for the high price
of substitutes on railroad congestion.
Hoover's reply said: "As you know, the
food control act gives us no power to
fix the price or any cereals other than
wheat The recent rapid fuctuation
and great difference in price are partly
due to railway congestion and weather
conditions. The price of corn, oats and
barley is high at the present time for
the above reasons and the additional
fact of the lack Of control over the re-
taller"
This statement from the food admin
istration of inability to control the
price of wheat substitutes, coming as
it does following the statement attrib-
uted to Hoover the other day at Pitts
burgh that he could fix the price Of any
foodstutfs, is regarded here as unusual.
and legislation that will give the gov
eminent full authority to fix prices of
commodities is believed to be necessary
if remedy is to be available.
