The farmers in Charles Mix county
have been receiving from 45c to 60c
for their corn, due to the fact that
the grain dealers had contracts for
corn to ship to the Pacific coast, at
better prices than the eastern market
could afford. These contracts have
now been filled and the price has
dropped to about 30c per bushel.

While the Senate last week con-
frimed all the appointments for state
positions made by Gov. Kendall ex-
cept that of Mrs. w. II. Snider of
Davenport for member OF the board
OF control, the fact of her rejection
was not against Mrs. Snider's ap-
pointment so'much as IL was against
the idea of having a woman on the
board of control. The matter has left
creepy feeling among the senators
and the governor which those on the
side lines will watch with interest.
Governor Kendall thinks a woman
can act as member Of the board of
control to advantage; one-third of
the Senate thinks not, for the present
at least. Possibly the appointment
may be renewed IL a bill is passed re-
curing one member of the board
OF control shall be a woman.

It may be the thought of a great
many people that there is little Of inn
portance doing in the General Assem-
| by at this time. But there is a
great deal of Importance doing-as
much as there should be in well con-
| sidered legislation at any time. II
we were to recite in order and detail
all that is done it would fill many
columns OF space.
Now there are about las bills in
troduced in the Senate and some $50
in the House, with several of them
passed in both houses and ready for
publication on signature of the gov
ernor But up to this time it is the
new legislation proposed that is 10 be
considered, remembering tina; the
fact of it's proposal is a long way
from it's final enactment.
Automobile regulations con.:nue TO
appear. Senator Schaffer of Wright
county has couple of bills in that
line. One OF them proposes TO estab-
lish danger zones at railway cross
ings and mark the approach thereto
with danger signs in the way of
posts and signboards set az certain
distances from such crossings. An
other one calculates on reducing ac-
cidents and collisions with trains at
crossings by construction of devices
for this purpose, including hump or
raise in the roadway at a point 100
feet from each crossing so that the
automobile will have to slow down to
ten miles per hour or be thrown up.
Senator Frailey of Fort Madison
has discovered that Lee county has
now outgrown Wapello county and is
therefore entitled under the consti-
tuition to second representative in
the House, white Wapello county will
lose one of the two she now has. The
basis of representation in the House
is one representative for each county
and one additional representative in
the nine counties in the state having
the largest population. Under the
late census, Lee wins.
Would Bride Insurance Rates
Another very important bill by
state of Iowa some control of insur-
ance rates. When the old insurance
law was repealed four years ago it
took the bride off the insurance rates
in this state and ever since has al
lowed the companies to adopt ratings
without interference by the state or
any other regulation than. private
greed may dictate or expediency pro-
pose. The complaint is made that
mere college boys have been sent in
to towns everywhere to inspect the
fire risks, make report on same and
these reports made to rating bu-
reau operated from Chicago or some
other port. The rating bureau has
then declared what rate for insur-
ance shall be effective for all COM
panies doing business in such towns.
1t is also Or will be charged very en-
phatically that some of the large
cities, heavy factory, and other risks
have been favored in the rate maxi
ing at the expene of the smaller
towns and the country risks; yea,
even into the millions. Senator
Frailey's bill will try to enact the
law nearly as proposed four and two
years ago requiring insurance COM
panies to adopt an insurance rating
bureau, providing for the organiza-
ton, operation and supervision of
such rating bureaus by the state
commissioner of insurance; provid-

A report from Des Moines tells us
that the assembly is conservative.
Now, this is good report. The
people want the assembly to be care
full and considerable. But, there is
as much possibility that a bunch of
legislators can be as unwise in con-
servatism as they may be on radical
lines. The refusal to confirm the
appointment of woman on the
board of control is case in point.
We have passed from our period of
exclusiveness on this line. There
was a time when a woman was
mere chattel. Today men and wom-
en- are equals in all respects.

KEYPORT, Sept. 21:-The first
of a series of card parties for the
benefit of the visiting nurse fund
will be held tomorrow afternoon at
the home of Mrs. p. A. Sondergaard

BLACK Beauty will be shown.
Without any way encroaching upon
the original story a thrilling human
romance has been added, resulting
in one of the most appealing picture
dramas ever produced. In showing
this picture for the benefit of the
fund, the committee feels hat it has
secured the best and a large advance

TRENTON, Sept. 21.-Applica-

less of the opinion, as based upon
their experience that any possible

at the present time will be obscured
by the greater increase of defec-
tives, insane and delinquents due to
other use In communications
addressed to Commissioner Burdette
G. Lewis of the Department of In
stitutions and Agencies, these two
well known experts strongly sup
port the institutional construction
bond bill. The statement of DR..
Cotton in part follows:
I'm reply to your letter of recent
date in regard to the effect of pro-
hibition on admission of patients 10
the state hospital would say that 1t
is true that the alcoholic cases have
decreased from twepty-one e cent
to two per cent, of the admissions.
However, this has not in n way in
fuenced the other types of mental
diseases which have increased tre-
mendously in the last few years.
Thus in 1919 there were TO admis-
sions and in 1921 there were 912.
If prohibition had not reduced the
alcoholic cases the admission rate
would have been much larger.
"In my opinion the Bond Issue
is very-necessary from every stand
point. Successful treatment of not
only mental diseases, but proper
care and treatment of the delin-
uuent, especially of the juvenile
type makes the bond issue an urgent
and imperative matter. Many of
these cases should today be regarded
as medical problems rather than
problems of penology, and if proper
measures are to be taken to restore
these individuals it will cost con-
siderable money to equip institu-
tons for this work. In the end,
however, the state will save money
by expanding in this way rather
than in expanding it to confine such
individuals to institutions"

for $3.50 interest on investment of
the Bordentown venue improve
ments, caused by the delay in SELL
ing the bonds, reused the wrath of
Councilman Michael Stanton at the
meeting of the common council last

According to the contract" Stan
ton said, Riddle was to have COM
pleted the work on Bordentown
avenue by November and as a mat
ter of fact the work did not begin
until late in December and was not
finished until the middle of May.
The contract went on to say that in
the event that the work was not
completed in the prescribed time
limit, the contractor was to pay the
city at the rate of $40 per day.
This is not fair to the taxpayers
and If the contract is binding for
one party, it should be binding for
both"
After a discussion that involved
the opinion of the city solicitor, the
bill was ordered paid. with Coun-
Gilman Stanton voting no.
