PRICE WINS IN WRESTLING BOOT

A small crowd gathered at the Ar
mory last Friday evening to attend the
wrestling bout. The preliminary bout
was put on by John McKeag OF this
city and one of the Mead boys from
north of the city. The boys demon
strated that they understand the game
and put up an interesting bout. Nc
Keag was the winner, The second
preliminary was staged by two six
teen year old boys-Ward and Harvey
of Dubuque. This too, was an very
interesting contest, the boys showing
careful training in the art Of wrest-
ling.
The main bout of the evening was
put on by Price OF Chicago, and Carey,
of Benton, Wisconsin. These two men
are considered the best of their weight
in this part of the country. Price got
his man in the first round OF Il min
utes. Carey forced Prices shoulders
to the mat in the second in II minu-
tes. The final was fast and furious,

direct taxation, so there is little or

lures or legislative action on state
matters.
Conference Committees Galore
When House and Senate have each
passed bill with amendments and
one house refuses to concur in the
amendments of the other, confer
ence committee must be appointed
composed of members of each house
for the purpose of trying to iron out
the differences and get some action.
Such is the case with many bills now.
One such is the resolution providing
for holding the constitutional conven-
ton. which was ordered by the voters
at the last election. The House reso-
luton says the selection of delegates
TO such convention shall be partisan
affair and the Senate insists that dele
gates to such convention should be
partisan and elected without re-
gard to partisan politics. Radicals
in the House will "die in the ditch"
before they will change, they say,
while senators feel they should have
some final action. If they do not
agree, who or what or how will
constitution convention? Can any,
body tell? There will very likely be
no such convention held, even though
the voters did vote for it.

LICENSE REQUIRED TO SELL CT
GARETTES

Des Moines, Ia, April 10.-Gover-
nor N E. Kendall signed the cigar
cite bill this morning which permits
the sale of cigargettes in Iowa to
adults.
After signing the cigarette bill
Governor Kendall issued statement
summarizing the measure. He called
attention to the drastic penalties i'm
posed for violation OF it's terms, and
its local option provisions through
city permits and collection of license
fees and mulct taxes, and said:
1.-TWO or three important consider
ations are to be constantly remem-
bered, first-in no circumstances
whatsoever is the sale of cigarettes
to minors in any manner legalized.
= Second, the sale of cigar
cites to adults in any community is
entirely within the discretion of the
citizens of such community, speaking
through their selected representa-
tives on the city councils and county
boards. II the people of any local
ity are hostile to the traffic. they can
easily enforce their opposition by
electing municipal officials instruct
ed to refuse permits.
Third, it is conservatively esti-
mated that if the present volume OF
cigarette consumption be maintained
revenues will accrue to the state ag-
gregating annually several hundred
thousand dollars. In the disordered
state of fiscal affairs at this juncture,
with the burdens of government in
creased and the ability to bear them
reduced, so material a contribution
to the treasury would be especially
welcome.
"The subject is one of infinite diff
ficulty and l am not unaware that
there is radical disagreement re-
specting it's solution. Our expert
ence with the perplexing problem
has demonstrated two propositions
beyond controversy: That legisla-
tive enactment is effective only so
far as it is supported by an aggres-
sive public opinion, and that the dis
regard of a restrictive law because
it is unpopular, entails discredit upon
all laws of similar character
"The original statute was suffic-
iently rigorous to Danish cigarettes
utterly, but the majority sentiment
of the people was adverse to its OBJ
servance. This we are confronted
not by an attractive theory, but by
a practical condition. After the ma
turest deliberation the general as
sembly determined that a new meth
cd of dealing with the cigarette ques-
tion should be inaugurated, and l am
constrained to acquiesce in it's con-
clusion."
The bill now becomes law, and
will take effect July 4.
