Efficiency in the handling OF state
property II to be established along
military lines IL bill presented by
Senator Thurston is adopted by the
general assembly. Veterans of the
world war who had anything to do
with the handling of government
supplies and war equipment are
dumbfounded that the state does not
have a system of requiring invoices
in every department of the state gov
eminent. This bill does not confine
itself to the handling Of state proper
ty alone but reaches out to the coun-
ties, cities, school districts and town
ship organizations and requires all
officers TO properly file inventories
of properties whether that property
is a spade or a ditching machine, a
broom or the contents of chemical
laboratory, a cuspidor or 4 Turkish
rug, a wheelbarrow or an automo-
bile and its condition and value at
the time of the taking of inventory.
Senator Thurston, who was in the
service, declares that officers were
required to account for every piece
of property in their possession and
they had to be ready on a moments
notice to turn it all over to their
successors. Senator Thurston claims
that il is the practice of officials,
when elected to office, to assume the
office and take over such properties
as predecessors desire to turn over,
These officials do the same thing
when they retire, and there is no
check at any place to require such
officials to make an accounting. Be
cause of this hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth OF properties be-
longing to tie tax payers are divert
ed or destroyed for lack of proper
care and never accounted for, ac-
cording to Investigations made by
Senator Thurston. Because a mill
tary, officer must be prepared with
his inventory on moments notice,
inventories are to be kept up to the
minute. Because a civil officer has
two years generally to make an in
ventory before relinquishing his Of
flee he never prepares an inventory.

cHIRopRACToRs WIN RATTLE

1t was a dramatic moment in the
lower house Of Iowa general assem-
bly, Tuesday afternoon when that
body passed the bill providing for
the licensing of chiropractors in
Iowa. says DR.. w. Floyd Smith, of
Atlantic, who was present at the vot-
ing.
"One OF the most tense moments"
says DR.. Smith, "came Just before
the final vote, when Representative
Hauge OF Polk county arose and de-
clared he proposed to vote for the
bill because his mother, a woman of
II. was present in the house and had
asked him to vote for the measure.
"She asks me to plead with each one
Of you declared Representative
Hauge."
The bill passed the house So to IT,
having previously passed the senate
29 to Is. The bill gives chiroprac-
tors a license to practice their sci
ence. A board OF chiropractors is
created who will pass upon the quail
ifications Of applicants. A fight has
been on in Iowa for six years or
more. A large number of other
states in the Union have similar
bill.

of friends at their home in Viola

laneous shower, complimentary to
Miss Bonnie Strahl and Mr.. Roy

spent in games of all kinds, singing,
etc. After several hours of merry
making a dainty two-course lunch
con was served, to which all did am
pie justice. Many beautiful and use

late hour the guests dispersed, vot-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards royal en-
tertainers.

prohes Not Sensational

The members of the committee on
departmental affairs appears to be
happily disappointed to find that the
sensational charges against certain
state officers and heads of commits
sions are turning out to be justice of
the peace cases and not OF sufficient
magnitude to be listed in court of
impeachment. The rottenness prom
Used in the campaign OF last fall and
through the press since converting
of the general assembly have turned
out to be little more tran indiscre-
tions and the committI may go so
far as as to recommend censure on
the part of the assembly. This has
reference to receiving or expending
money which has been claimed was
without warrant of law. There seems
to be no disposition on the part of
the committee to shield any officer
of the state nor to punish harshly
where officers have proceeded on the
theory that they were exercising a
a privilege given them by precedent.
Members may be relied upon to do
their duty regardless of outside in
fluences Except for the time 1t has
taken of the members who constitute
the committee legislators are not
disturbed over the Investigations.
There has not been the slightest in
timation that any crookedness has
been found and the committee has
been going to the bottom of every
charge and has called in every wit
ness who has either printed or cir
culated reports. of alleged dishonest
acts on the part of certain state Of
ficers However. the publicity given
TO the charges win have a good ef-
feet in the state house.

Fourteen bills and three joint res
olutions have passed both houses of
the general assembly and have been
signed by Governor Kendall. These
are House files $50, 422 and 297 and
Senate files 272, 271, 329, 29J, 1927,

House join resolution No. l and
Senate joint resolutions l and 2. The
house has passed eleven senate bills
and postponed Indefinitely q. two
Senate files 274 and 2S9. The house
is becoming impatient that the sem
ate is not taking action on the large
number of bills sent over. The MEM
bers of the senate declare that Just
as soon as the committees report on
these bills that action will be taken.
Only three bills from the house have
been acted on favorably by the SEN
ate.

COURT STILL IN SESSION

The February term of the Audu-
bon county district court is still in
session and prospects are that Judge
Woodruff will be busy most of next
week in order to complete the work
docketed for the present term.
The petit jury has ben discharged
and from now on none but equity
and probate matters will be heard.
Last Friday the case of the State
of Iowa VS.. c. S. Smith came on for
a hearing, but Mr.. Smith was releas-
ed on the grounds of insufficient ev-
by the October grand jury and being
unable to furnish bail was confined
in the county jail
In the matter Of M. F. Ehlert VS..
Herman Meyers, the former was Civ
en- Judgment against Meyers in the
sum OF $126
The case Of Peter Jensen VS.. Audi
bon County was the most interesting
case on the docket. This case grows
out of the proposed drainage ditch in
Douglas township. Mr.. Jensen claims
the ditch will do him considerable
damage. After a two-days' trial the
jury awarded Mr.. Jensen damages in
the amount OF $3.50
Kerwin & Weeks, who brought
suit against Fred Sunberg for the
loss OF straw stack, were given
verdict in the sum OF SEQ.

Jorgen Madsen, on a land contract.
The case was tried and the jury
awarded Mr.. Waldron a verdict in
the sum of $685.. This was the
last jury case, following which the
.jurymen were discharged.
The next case to be tried tomor-
row is that of the Trans Mississippi

RETAINED FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The Board of Supervisors were in
session on Monday of this week let
ting contracts for lumber, corrugat-
ed pipe and other material. Among
the other important transactions was
the hiring of a county engineer for
the ensuing year. H. NJ. Clark who
was hired by the Board last year was
retained for another year. The
work of Mr.. Clark has been highly
satisfactory and the Board of Super
Visors we're unanimous in their de-
sire to retain Mr.. Clark. A tentative
contract was made at Mondays
meeting and it is quite likely that
Mr.. Clark will sign the contract to
become effective on April first when
his first years contract expires. The
board is 20 be congratulated on Sc
curing the services of so competent
a man as Mr.. Clark.

Street Railway Fares

The opinion handed down from the
supreme court reversing itself on
what is known as the Ottumwa case
may throw the matter of fixing
street car fares on the general as
sembly which now seems to face the
problem. From the opinion of the
supreme court 1t appears that until
the general assembly gives cities the
power neither the city council nor
the people can vote franchise
which guarantees a scent rate or
any other rate. The general assembly
1t is claimed, is the only power vest
ed with rate-making authority. The
case comes up for hearing again at
the March term Of the supreme
court. In the meantime representa-
tives of city councils in Iowa where
street car fares are an issue and that
means every municipality where
there are street cars, are planning on
having introduced bills to give cities
power to fix fares.

Inheritance Tax Measure

The house by a decided majority
passed the Weaver inheritance tax
bill with amendments which did not
materially change the original draft.
The measure provides for a one per
cent tax on inheritance up to $780,
600 graduated to larger amounts
with increasing percentages. The
bill is expected by the authors to
pass the senate. The discussions
brought about the hottest fight the
house has had this session. The

cused time and time again and not
compensated for the time excused.
The. expense of extra help goes on
just the same. This is also true OF
other men, whether they are doing
office, bank or work at the trades.
They must provide substitutes and
pay for them. Senator Wichman be-
lieyes that jurymen should be paid
for the term or such time as the dis
trict judges decide.

Highways Are Safe

A preliminary skirmish has taken
place in the house because an effort
was made to divert special road
funds so that boards Of supervisors
could build bridges and oulverts with
the money. The advocates of the
road system permitted an amend
ment which would permit the use Of
such money on bridges on the recog-
nized highways when authorized by
che state highway commission but
not otherwise. The vote indicates a
very strong sentiment in favor Of the
plans adopted two and four years
ago and against any plan to put the
state back where II was on the high
way problems.

While the committee is of the
opinion that the plan outlined in the
Olson bill making the state board for
educational institutions the censors
for all movie films exhibited in Iowa
is not practicable there is still a
growing feeling among members
that the general assembly should
take steps to provide for the elimina-
ton of the wicked features in the
films being displayed which they
claim are far below the standards
which Iowa should stand for. IL the
Olson bill is side-tracked there are
members who declare they will in

TROUBLE ENDED

Il never would have believed that

also put me in fine shape" said Dr..

stomach had given me much trouble.
and it had got so much worse a year
ago that l suffered agony after every
meal. Everything l ate would sour
and form gas that Ibloated me up un-
til l was in misery. l lost my appe-
tite and often had to leave the table
without touching d bite. I tried all
kinds of medicines and treatments,
but just kept getting worse.

petite and l began to eat better than

that I could eat anything I wanted

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE"

Here is business editorial from
The Printers Auxiliary:
Just suppose Mr.. Jones is a good
average American citizen, with a
good average American wife and
good average-sized family of chill
dren, living in a good average Am
erican home or on a good average
American farm.
And someone should make this
proposition to him:
MI Jones, propose to furnish
Iyou a servant and companion for
your whole family, including your
wife and yourself
And right there Mr. Jones would
say, Hold on. You have the wrong
prospect. I don't need any servant
nor any companion. Look ait this
flock, and see if you can see where
we need to add to our number or to
our expenses
"'Wait minute, Mr.. Jones, you
cannot appreciate the proposition
fully until have described the party
and the accomplishments to be Sc
cured and the benefits to be derived.
This party as l said, will be a COM
panion to you and to your wife, as
well as a servant; sexless and age
less; intelligent, even wise; healthy;
agreeable and good-humOred; ex-
perienced; clean-thinking and dean
speaking; will tell your Riddles their
bedtime story; help the boys and
girls make their playthings; help
you around the place or on the farm;
help mother with her cooking, her
dressmaking and her house plan
ming; tell you clean jokes to Tighten
the end Of tired day; inform you
Of what is going on in the neighbor-
hood as we'll as in the state and the
world; even show you pictures you
would be interested in; tell you
where you can buy the best things
for the least money; and perform
many wonders which do not just now
come to mind; and at practically no
cost, with no lazy days and no over
sleeping, no sickness and no anger
or harsh words. How would you
like to make such an addition to
your home establishment?
