CHANCES IN TOE MULCT LAW Governor Onmmiai Said Faror E'imiia-tion of Some Features. SAL00NMEN NOW PREY OF BLACKMAILERS Temptation to It Law for Private Uala or Personal Spite is Strong Vnder the Existing Conditions. That Governor Cummins will In his annual message to the legislature (text December recommend several amendments to the Iowa mulct laws was the statement made yesterday by a prominent member of the republican party of this city who has long been recognised as being one of the governor's campaign managers and close confidents. These amendments. It was stated, will be for the purpose of eliminating the present objectionable features of the mulct law.

That the mulct law needs amending Is generally conceded. As Its provisions now are every retail liquor dealer Is practically at the mercy of any person who might wish to harm or blackmail him. In but few cities or towns In the state where saloons are permitted to operate Is the mulct law strictly obeyed. Its provisions are such that if carried out to the letter very few if any saloons could keep their doors open. Practically every saloon keeper, while obeying his city ordinances and other laws, Is violating the provisions of the mulct law In their strict Interpretation and this leaves the saloon keeper open to prosecution at all times.

The iflulct law in Its present form Is taken advantage of to extort blood money, as It might be termed, from the saloon keepers by unscrupulous persons and Is often held as a club over them by persons who have some personal spite to work off or some axe to grind. It Is these evils that Governor Cummins In his annual message will recommend to be eliminated by amending the law. The objectionable features In the mulct law have long been apparent In Council Bluffs and any changes for the better will not only be welcomed by the saloon keepers themselves, but by the. business men generally. For several years every saloon in the county was forced to pay tribute to a certain attorney or otherwise become de fendant In an Injunction suit.

In which. If a decree was granted, the attorney secured at that time an attorney's fee of no less than $100. Now the law only permits of an attorney fee of $25, but this Is sufficient Incentive for numerous Injunction suits against the owners of saloons. Plumbing and heating. Blxby Son.

Company of Council Bluffs And three other companies pulled out of the depot. The departure of the regiment attracted but little attention, and except for a few of the men who served through the Philippine campaign who- were at the depot to greet their former comrades there was nobody at the depot to see the men off.

The several companies on arrival at the transfer were served with traveling rations, which were eaten In the trains. Pullman sleepers were provided for Colonel Lincoln and his 'staff, while tourist sleepers were furnished for the officers snd men of the twelve companies.

John Herrlott. lieutenant governor of Iowa, spoke here this evening to a crowd of the republicans of this county on the political Issues. This was his opening speech and he devoted It entirely to the tariff and trusts. He pointed out that it was useless to take time to defend the general principle of protection, which has been so successful as a national policy. No republican, he said, goes so far, he supposed, as to claim that every schedule of the existing tariff la perfect and should be Immutable regardless of time or place or Interest.

Many of the rates no doubt might well be altered, some raised, some lowered, with beneficial results, but before attempting such changes we must constantly keep In mind this fact, that any tariff Is a compromise of the opinions of hundreds, yea thousands of men in and out of congress, representing all sorts and diverse and more or less, conflicting Interests. Smith Talks for Reciprocity, INDEPENDENCE, Oct. Charles Emory Smith, former postmaster general, spoke this evening to a fine audience and paid a glowing tribute to the reciprocity policy advocated by Blaine, McKlnley, Roosevelt and Governor Cummins. Mr. Smith advocated regulation of the trusts and enforcement of the antitrust legislation.

Feiilou-Wickliam Coal Company TELEPHONE 37 MAIN STREET CHANGES MSURANCELAWS Auditor Carroll Makes Several Beoon mendationi in His Beport BANKS IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION Mose Jacobs Finally Secnres Decree Which Gives Him Portion.

of Properly Held by His Father. (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, Oct. The biennial report of B. F. Carroll, auditor of state, filed with the governor today, covers the whole ground of the Insurance, banking and financial Interests of the state.

The recommendations of the auditor in regard to Insurance matters are Interesting In view of the recent agitation In regard to some Insurance matters here. He does not recommend a separate department for the Insurance business, but Indicates that whether It la separated from the office of auditor or not there should be a great Increase In the force available for doing the business. He would have the law changed so that there would be an examination of all the Insurance companies and associations doing business In Iowa at least biennially, and this should be done by a salaried examiner, Instead of compelling the companies to pay for the same In fees. He would also have the valuation of all old line policies done In the office of the Insurance department. Instead of by the companies, especially In view of the fact that the auditor now holds securities for companies not located in the state valued at $2,600,000.

He would have the examiner to be also an actuary. In regard to the contracts written by the companies he would have the state auditor have some authority over It. In the past, there has been no supervision of The business, and this has led to the writing of contracts of a questionable character. So far as Iowa companies are concerned little objection can now be made to the form of policies written. Attention is called to the fact that while nonresident assessment essoclatlons are not compelled to pay any taxes to the state the home companies are taxed 1 per cent per annum on gross business.

He would have the legislature give attention to this discrimination against the home business. The pro vision for preventing unauthorized Insurance by fraternals should.be extended so that all kinds of unauthorized Insurance could be stopped. He would also have the agents registered. He would also have a new law providing for reinsurance. He severely condemns some of the mutuals, especially the hall companies, for the extravagance of management and large salaries pnld.

and would have some provision or limiting these expenses. Iowa Bank Bnsiness. The state banking Interests are In a sat isfactory condition.
