The State of Iowa
T HE State of Iowa completed its first century of statehood De-cember 28, 1946. Iowa was the 29th state of the Union, first freestate west of the Mississippi river. On a stone in the Washington
national monument is this inscription:
"Iowa, her affections like the rivers of her borders, flow to an in-separable Union."
The State Seal of Iowa displays a banner on which is the state motto:"Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintaiif."
The first century of statehood witnessed the splendid growth of thestate in population and wealth, and its wholesome expansion in socialand community activities. When the responsibilities of self-governmentwere assumed, the population of the state was about 100,000; now thestate has approximately two and a half million people.
Iowa was a part of the vast Province of Louisiana purchased by theUnited States from France. Other states had been formed in this region;but Iowa was the first state carved out and established with soil for-ever dedicated to human freedom. The probationary time as a territorywas for eight and a half years and it had been only 13 years since thefirst legal settlements. Mining of lead had been engaged in by Dubuquesince 1788, by favor of the Indians, and there had been feeble effortsat colonization along the river under Spanish grants; but not until 1833,following the Black Hawk war, did the home seekers secure title to theirholdings.
During the first 160 years following the voyage of Joliet and Mar-quette down the Mississippi river in 1673, the land that is now Iowa wasa favorite hunting and trapping ground for a number of tribes of Indians.Adventurers, miners, fur buyers, traders, followed the worn trails alongthe valleys and over the prairies.
Spanish and French monarchs had vague claims of jurisdiction overthe region, but the standard of neither country had ever been set uppermanently in any part of what is now Iowa. The United States closedout the French claim by purchase in 1803, after which local authorityshifted frequently; namely, Indiana territory given jurisdiction, 1804;Louisiana territory organized with St. Louis capitol, 1805; Iowa in-cluded in Missouri territory, 1812; when Missouri became a state, Iowaleft without government, 1821; Territory of Michigan with capitol atDetroit given jurisdiction, 1834; became the major part of Wisconsinterritory, 1836; organized and named Territory of Iowa, 1838; state-hood first authorized, 1845; organized as a state, 1846.
Iowa had been the home for many centuries of American red men, whosucceeded an unknown race of pottery makers and mound builders, butfew Indians were seen by the first explorers. A small band of friendlyIndians entertained Joliet and Marquette at a camp on the Des Moinesriver near its mouth. A century later, the Sac and Fox federation oftwo Algonquin tribes had villages along the Mississippi river, wherethey cultivated land and had permanent homes. They had migratedoriginally from the Atlantic coast and before settling in Iowa had unitedfor defense. When Illinois became a state, they were driven from their
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950
homes east of the river, and their lands bought or confiscated. ChiefBlack Hawk, the military leader of the Sac tribe, made heroic resistance,but was taken to Washington and kept a prisoner for a time.
The Sac and Fox federation had been chief occupant of the land alongthe Mississippi valley, and in 1833, following the Black Hawk war, alarge part of their land in Iowa was taken by the United States andopened for settlement. The Black Hawk purchase, through which theIowa river flows, was the beginning of Iowa, and by later acquisitionsthe entire state was opened for the use of the pioneers.
While the Sac and Fox federation claimed the eastern and centralpart of Iowa, there were other tribes having rights and making use ofthe hunting grounds. The Iowa tribe wandered all over the state. TheWinnebagoes were given land in northeast Iowa, but later were movednorth. The Pottawattamies lived along the Missouri river, and wereassociated with the Otoes, Omahas and others. The Sioux tribe, of theDakotah nation, claimed all northern Ipwa and not until long afterstatehood was their title extinguished.
The Mesquakie Indians, now living in Iowa, are a branch of the Foxtribe, who returned after removal to the south.
The United States maintained several forts in Iowa or along theborders. Fort Madison, in Lee county, was maintained for a time after1808. Fort Armstrong was placed on Rock Island in 1816. Fort Craw-ford had been maintained at Prairie du Chien many years. Fort Atkin-son was located on the "neutral strip" and Fort Croghan was on theMissouri. In 1834, Fort Des Moines was built at Montrose, and the secondFort Des Moines was located at the Raccoon fork of the Des Moines in1843. Fort Clark was maintained for a brief time at Fort Dodge. Thepresent Fort Des Moines was established as a cavalry post at the statecapitol in 1900.
The site for the capital city of Iowa was first studied by Gen. StephenW. Kearny, then a colonel in command of the first Fort Des Moines, whoin 1835 brought a company of dragoons to the Raccoon forks lookingfor a good place to establish a military post. He was accompanied byCapt. Nathan Boone, son of Daniel, and by Lieut. Albert M. Lea,, whopublished a description of central Iowa and made a map on which henamed this the "Iowa district." From this the territory formed soonafterwards took its name.
Although there were only 22,859 people in the twenty-two countieswest of the river when Iowa was set off as a territory, agitation forstatehood commenced almost at once. One obstacle was the unwilling-ness of Congress, as then constituted, to admit any free soil state with-out also adding a slave state, so that the slave states would at alltime have control of the senate. Several states had been so paired offfor admission. The bill authorizing admission of Iowa in 1845 also pro-vided for admission of Florida, one free and one slave state.
The people of Iowa and Congress disagreed as to the proper bound-aries for Iowa, and Iowa twice rejected what was offered. Congressproposed that the western one-third of the state should not be included,but that all of southeastern Minnesota should be a part of Iowa. TheIowa people finally got the boundaries as they are now and a year anda half after admission was authorized, the final act of admission waspassed and the state proclaimed, December 28, 1846.
When the territory was organized, Brevet Brig. Gen. Henry Atkinsonwas named territorial governor of Iowa, but declined the appointmentand Robert Lucas was named and assumed the office. General Lucas
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950
had been governor of Ohio and had fought in the American wars. Whenthe state was organized, Ansel Briggs of Jackson county, had been electedto be the first governor of the state. The general assembly met andenacted laws before the final act of admission was completed at thenational capital.
Burlington had been the capital of the Territory of Wisconsin and be-came the first capital of the Territory of Iowa. Later this was movedto Iowa City which became the first state capital, and so remained untilthe year 1857 when the capital was removed to Des Moines. The capitolbuilding at Iowa City was turned over to the State university and atemporary statehouse was occupied at Des Moines while the presentstate capitol was being built.
The state constitution under which Iowa had entered the Union andwhich had been hastily prepared in 1844 and remodeled in 1846, wasdiscarded and a new constitution adopted in 1857, which has since beenseveral times amended. Slavery was forbidden from the start, but votingrights were reserved for white persons until 1868. Liberal school legis-lation was enacted at the outset. Elections were held every year untilthe biennial election system was adopted in 1904.
Iowa was strongly democratic in politics as a territory and for thefirst eight years of the state. In 1854 the whigs elected the governor,who helped the free soil element organize the republican party, whichdominated for 35 years. In 1890 a democrat became governor, becauseof dissensions over policy as to alcoholic drinks. Then followed elevenrepublican administrations, when in 1933 the democrats again seatedtwo governors, who were followed by four republicans to the presenttime. In 1907 the law required that all party nominations be made atprimary elections.
By 1860 the state had 674,000 people, and for the war that came soonafter furnished 76,000 volunteers.
In the period 1860 to 1870, the population increased to 1,194,000 afterwhich the growth was slower.
The land area of the state is 55,586 square miles, or 35,575,040 acres,and the water surface 561 square miles. The maximum elevation of thestate above sea level is about 1,600 feet.
Literacy in Iowa is at the top, racial and labor controversies arelittle known, state educational and correctional institutions are wellsupported, and the population is fairly well divided as between urbanand rural residents. Iowa schools have a nationwide reputation as amongthe very best in the country.

Iowa State Capitol
By Ora WilliamsFormer Curator, State Department of History and Archives
THE administrative, legislative and judicial functions of the Stateof Iowa are centralized in an imposing and substantial state capitoloccupying a prominent place in a spacious park on a hill com-
manding the capital city of Des Moines.
In its architectural features, its lines of simple beauty, its convenientinterior arrangement, and in its decoration and adornment, the IowaState capitol compares favorably with those of other states. It hasserved well the needs of the state as a seat of government for more thanhalf of the state's first century of statehood. The surrounding grounds,or park, provide a setting which in extent and attractiveness is un-equaled. The state has an investment in this plant for the transaction ofpublic business of over seven million dollars.
The governor and other elective state officials have offices in thecapitol, on the first or main floor, conveniently grouped around two cen-tral halls in the form of a cross, the offices amply, but not luxuriantly,furnished with modern equipment. On this floor sits the highest judicialtribunal of the state, in the supreme court chambers, which harmonizewith the dignity and importance of that body. The legislative chambersare on the second floor, while in the basement and on the third floorthere are many business offices and work rooms. The law library, andmany needed committee rooms, are on the second floor. The speaker ofthe house and the lieutenant governor have offices near the large hallsfor the senate and the house.
The architectural design of the capitol, rectangular in form, withgreat windows and high ceilings, follows the traditional pattern of thenineteenth century planning for public buildings, a modified and refinedRomanesque style which gives the impression of strength and dignitycombined with utility, both severely plain and handsomely decorated.
The commanding feature of the capitol is the central towering dome.It is constructed of steel and stone and is entirely covered wiih puregold, which glistening in the sunlight can be seen from far distantplaces. The dome is surmounted by a lookout lantern, that may bereached by long and winding stairs, and it terminates in a finial thatis 275 feet above the ground floor. The rotunda beneath the dome is 67feet in diameter. Four smaller domes of simple design rise from thefour corners of the capitol. The pediment over the front entrance dis-closes a fine piece of allegorical sculpture.
The exterior is entirely of stone, of several kinds and differing quali-ties, with elaborate columns and handsomely designed cornices andcapitals. The substructure is of a dark and coarse-grained attractivestone quarried in Iowa. This is topped by a heavy course of vari-coloredand beautifully-marked granite cut from boulders scattered by glacialaction over the prairies of the state. The superstructure, or main partof the building, is of a sandstone of a delicate buff color, fine-grainedin texture, secured from Missouri in quarries along the Mississippi riverThe approaches to the capitol are by four sets of steps mainly of granite.
The interior finish of the capitol is of native wood—cherry, walnut,catalpa, oak and butternut. There is much fine wood carving, and the
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950
supreme court bench is especially handsome as to material and work-manship. The main floors are of tile. Wainscoting and shelving are ofmarble, American and foreign, and some of this is very rare and un-usual. There are imposing columns in the rotunda of fine sandstone, andon the second floor of granite, and in the legislative chambers of fabri-cated stone.
In size the capitol is 364 feet north and south by 247 wide. Thecross-halls meet in the rotunda, with a wide opening from the basementfloor to the base of the dome. The house chamber is in size 79x91.4feet, with ceiling 47.9 feet high; the senate chamber is 58x91.4 feetand 41.9 to the ceiling. Each member of the General Assembly is pro-vided with a separate desk, 108 in the house and 50 in the senate, andthe house is equipped with an electric vote recording system.
The most attractive feature of the decoration is a large oil paintingon the east wall over the grand stairway that leads from first to secondstory. It bears the title "Westward," and is an allegorical representationof the hard journey of a frontiersman and his family, with a coveredwagon drawn by four sturdy oxen, on their way from the lush fields oftheir homeland into the wilderness that was to become their Iowa. Aconvoy of lovely angels guides them and their possessions to theirdestiny. The picture is the work of Edwin H. Blashfield, and is a beauti-ful work of art, inspiring in its symbolism, and it has had the com-mendation of many historians and artists.
Six imposing mosaics, or paintings reproduced in stone of brilliantcolors, are just above the picture "Westward." These are representativeof the arts, the science and the culture of the people of the midlandregion. They are designed by Frederick Dielman and the craftsman-ship was by skilled artists in Italy. High in the rotunda there are twelvepieces of fine statuary, and beneath these there are eight lunettes, ordecorative paintings in half-circle, done by Kenyon Cox. The supremecourt chamber originally had a series of magnificent symbolic painting'son canvas, but these now adorn the reception room in the state his-torical building. After the fire, the entire interior was decorated in mod-est and modern designs.
The battle flags carried by the Iowa regiments in various wars arepreserved in niches on the main floor. In the west hall is a fine plaquedone by Nellie V. Walker in commemoration of the work of Iowa womenin the fight for civic and political equality. In the south hall is a mon-ster photograph in colors, showing the grand review of Iowa troops onreturn from France.
The history of the state capitol, the choosing of the location, the con-struction thereof, and provision for a proper setting and surroundings,covers the whole period of statehood. Almost every step taken duringthe state's first century encountered opposition from selfish or sectionalinterests, or from pretended reasons of economy, and this was true as tothe proper site near the center of the state, the size and character of thebuilding and securing the necessary ground for the plant and equipmentin which to transact the business of the state.
The wisdom of a central location in the state for the seat of govern-ment was recognized by the First General Assembly, and before thestate was two months old, a resolution was adopted looking to that end.A commission was authorized to choose a site and lay out a capitolcity, which was done, but the location did not meet with approval andthe project was abandoned. Eight years later in 1855 the Fifth GeneralAssembly, despite fierce opposition, by legislative act directed the loca-tion of the state capitol near the Raccoon forks of the Des Moinesriver. The precise place for the building was entrusted to a commission
10 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950
and a site was selected halfway between the abandoned old Fort DesMoines and the scene of the last Indian agency on "Keokuk's Prairie."This place was decided upon because of the generous donation by citi-zens of Des Moinse of a nine-acre tract and several buildings for a tem-porary capitol which was in use for nearly thirty years.
By proclamation of Governor Grimes in 1857 the city of Des Moinesbecame the state capitol, and near the close of that year the books andpapers of the state were brought from Iowa City, the old territorial andfirst state capitol.
The state capitol was in process of building fifteen years. The Thir-teenth General Assembly, in 1870, created a commission which selectedthe design, commenced work and in November, 1871, laid the corner-stone. The plan adopted was a modified composite of several designssubmitted in competition. Messrs. Bell & Hackney were employed assupervising architects. Material for the foundation was purchased fromIowa quarries, as directed by law; but the stone proved unsubstantialand nearly all had to be removed.
The first building commission was discharged and a second was au-thorized to take charge of construction. Work proceeded under directionof a supervisor and foreman, a working force was employed by the day,and material and equipment was purchased on bids or by contract. Thelegislature made small appropriations every two years and the workproceeded as rapidly as funds and material would permit.
The cornerstone was relaid by the second commission on September29, 1873, and it contains manuscripts, books, coins, money and historicalmaterial. It is simply inscribed "Iowa, A. D. 1873."
Construction had been so nearly completed that the legislative hallswere occupied and many of the state offices when dedication was madein 1884. The temporary capitol was in use, however, for the supremecourt and some other offices; but in 1886 the supreme court chamberswere occupied. The work of the commission was brought to a close June30, 1886. There was never a hint of misuse of public funds in con-nection with the construction, and a final audit of the $3,296,256 ex-pended showed a net error of only $3.77 in computation of bills andaccounts.
In 1902, in order to modernize the capitol and make needed changesand repairs, a third capitol commission was created and appropriationsmade for the work. While this work proceeded, there occurred a dis-astrous fire in the north wing on January 4, 1904, which ruined the housechamber and damaged other offices. The commission restored the build-ing, purchased paintings and mosaics, and redecorated the entire interior.

THE STATE BANNEROn March 29, 1921, the Thirty-ninth General Assembly adopted a reso-
lution designating a design for a flag to be known as the "StateBanner."
The banner was designed by the "Iowa Society of the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution," and consists of three vertical stripes of blue,white and red, with the blue stripe nearest the staff and the whitestripe in the center depicting a spreading eagle bearing in its beak bluestreamers on which is inscribed in white letters the state motto, "Ourliberties we prize and our rights we will maintain." The word "Iowa"in red letters is just below the streamers.

THE WILD ROSE, THE STATE FLOWER OF IOWAThe Wild Rose was officially designated as the flower of the state by
the Twenty-sixth General Assembly in extraordinary session. The reso-lution was adopted May 7, 1897.
THE EASTERN GOLDFINCH, THE STATE BIRD OF IOWAThe Forty-fifth General Assembly, by a concurrent resolution adopted
March 22, 1933, designated the Eastern Goldfinch (Spinus tristis trist-is),as the official Iowa bird. The Goldfinch is generally designated as a wildcanary.

The Iowa State Capitol Park
IT HAD become evident early in the present century that the stateneeded more room for the transaction of business properly at the statecapitol, and the Thirty-fifth General Assembly authorized an enlarge-ment of the capitol grounds. A special tax levy was made, and with
the proceeds, the state purchased lots and residences and business housesadjacent to the cramped public area sufficient to embrace over 93 acresin the park. Several hundred buildings were removed or taken downat a total cost of about $3,000,000.
The most conspicuous object on the capitol grounds is the Iowa monu-ment to the soldiers and sailors of the Civil war on ground formerlyoccupied by the temporary state capitol. This is a granite shaft 145feet high, surmounted by a heroic bronze figure of "Victory"; while atthe base there are four groups representing different branches of themilitary or naval service, and numerous historical plaques and medallionportraits of typical soldiers. The original design was by Harriet A.Ketcham and work was commenced in 1894. The plan for removal ofthis monument to a more appropriate location on the mall east of thecapitol has never been done.
A striking monument in memory of the late Sen. Wm. B. Allisonstands near by, the gift of Gen. Grenville M. Dodge. This is an alle-gorical design of heroic dimensions, depicting civic duties in the publicservice, and it is encompassed by a fountain.
A small and appropriate memorial to Christopher Columbus, erectedby Iowa citizens of Italian ancestry, stands near by. West of the capi-tol, at the head of Locust street, is an impressive bronze statuary groupdepicting "The Pioneer." The cannon and mortar on the grounds are ofCivil war days. The grave of Willson A. Scott, one of those who gavethe state the capitol grounds, is near where he lived and is appropriatelymarked. A bronze cannon taken in the Spanish-American war, and theheadpiece of the Battleship Iowa, are near the historical building. Agranite block dedicated to the soldiers of the Spanish-American warveterans stands on the plaza east of the capitol.
The state historical department occupies one of the most beautifulpublic buildings of the state on ground northeast of the capitol now em-braced in the capitol park. This was erected near the close of the lastcentury as a home for the department founded by the late Charles Aldrichin 1892 some ten years after he and his wife had presented the statewith their magnificent collection of autographs and other historicalmaterial. The state historical building is 260x110 feet in size and cost375,000. In it are found not only the state's collection of historical ma-terial of every kind, the state historical and genealogical library, awonderful portrait collection, the state museums, and the priceless statearchives, but also the state traveling library, the state medical library,and the state vital statistics records. The Kasson memorial hall, a shortdistance away, has recently been purchased by the department for anarchives work room and is partly used for that purpose.
The magnificent golden dome of the capitol, one of the largest in theworld, is a landmark that can be seen for many miles. The capitol, thestate historical building, and the capitol park are visited annually bythousands of people of Iowa and tourists from other states. On thegrounds there are several very large native trees, and the grounds arefurther adorned by many shrubs, trees and flowers .

In 1878, the Seventeenth General Assembly created a board of rail-road commissioners consisting of three members to be appointed bythe governor and confirmed by the executive council. In 1888, the Twen-ty-second General Assembly passed a law making the commissionerselective. In 1937, the Forty-seventh General Assembly, by House File133, changed the name from "board of railroad commissioners'1 to ''IowaState Commerce Commission."
The powers and duties of the Iowa state commerce commission are:to generally supervise all railroads in the state, both steam and electric,except street railroads; to inquire into any neglect or violation of thelaws of the state by any railroad corporation doing business therein; tomake examinations and inspections of the physical condition, conductand management of such railroads and report their condition to saidcompanies; to stop and prevent railroad companies, under certain cir-cumstances, from running or passing their trains over unsafe bridges;to adjudge changes in station houses, rolling stock and rates of fare; topass on necessity for spur tracks to be constructed and maintained notexceeding three miles in length to an existing industry under termsand conditions approved by the commission as set out by law; to makereasonable rules for the crossing of steam and interurban railways andto require, when necessary, interlocking switches at railroad crossings;to make report on first Monday in December in each year to the gov-ernor of its doings for the preceding year accompanied with appropriatesuggestions and recommendations; to receive, tabulate and report uponthe annual reports filed with it by railroad companies; to examine anyof the books, papers or documents of any such corporation; to examineunder oath employees of such corporation; to issue subpoenas, admin-ister oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses; to make and fixmaximum schedules of freight rates for such corporations, such sched-ules to be deemed reasonable until disapproved; to examine into ratesin force, upon complaint that the rate charged by a railroad company,or that the maximum rates fixed by the commission are unreasonablyhigh or discriminating, and to fix the rate again, which must not behigher than any rate established by law, such decision of the commissionbeing prima facie evidence that the rate so made is a reasonable mini-

mum rate; to bring suits to enforce its orders; to inquire into the man-agement of the business of such carriers and to obtain from them fulland complete information necessary to enable the commissioners tocarry out the objects of the law; to hear, investigate and determine allcomplaints alleging unreasonable rates, unjust discrimination, unduepreference, violation of the long and short haul clause, or other infrac-tions of the commission law, and make proper orders thereupon; toestablish joint through rates, upon application, over two or more con-necting lines; and to have the same authority over express companiesas the act confers concerning railroads.
Before a railroad company may appropriate coal, coke or oil receivedfor shipment, it must first secure the written consent of the commercecommission.
Before any railroad company may condemn lands for additional depotgrounds, or for straightening or relocating track, the permission of thecommission must be obtained. Interlocking switches may be placed atgrade railroad crossings or draw bridges, thus obviating the necessityof stopping trains before passing over such grade crossings or drawbridges, but before the interlocking switch may be used consent of thecommission must be obtained.
The Thirty-fifth General Assembly gave to the commission the powerto grant to individuals or corporations ''engaged in the manufacture, saleor distribution for sale of electric current for light, power or heatingpurposes, the right within the state, except in cities and towns, toerect and maintain poles, wires, towers, fixtures and other necessaryconstruction for the purpose of conducting electricity for lighting, powerand heating purposes, over, along and across any public lands, highwaysor streams or the land of any person or persons, and to acquire thenecessary interests in real estate therefor." It also provided that trans-mission lines proceeding under the provisions of the law should be sub-ject to "such reasonable regulations as the commission may from timeto time prescribe."
The commission is directed by an act of the Thirty-ninth GeneralAssembly to "undertake and carry forward such investigation andpreparation as shall be necessary to properly represent the interestsof the state in connection with the valuation of the property of commoncarriers now being conducted by the interstate commerce commission."
An act of the Forty-sixth General Assembly amended by the Forty-eighth General Assembly provides that operators of grain elevatorsmust be licensed in order to receive grain for storage. It also makesprovisions for using warehouse receipts issued by the warehousemanon his own products and on products for others as collateral for financ-ing loans. The act also provides for storage of other agriculturalproducts, and products principally consumed on farms, in warehousesof types different to that of grain elevators which cover such productsas wool, canned goods, sugar, seed, commercial feed, etc.
The Fortieth General Assembly conferred on the commission thepower to issue certificates authorizing motor carriers to operate overthe public highways of the state, upon a showing that the proposedservice would promote "the public convenience" and authorized theboard to prescribe rules and regulations for the operation of motorvehicles used by such carriers "for the protection and safety of thepublic." The Forty-first General Assembly revised the laws on thissubject, but left their administration with the railroad commission.
The Forty-third General Assembly provided for the supervision orregulation by the commission of persons operating motor trucks prin-

cipally used for the public transportation of freight for compensation,not operating over regular routes nor between fixed termini.
The Forty-fourth General Assembly provided that pipe lines shallbe subject to regulation by the board under a permit issued by theboard.
COMMERCE COUNSELThe Thirty-fourth General Assembly created the office of commerce
counsel, to he appointed by the Iowa state commerce commission fora term of four years, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The lawprovides that the counsel may appoint assistants, subject to the ap-proval of the commissioners.

The workmen's compensation law of Iowa was first enacted by theThirty-fifth General Assembly in 1913, which made Iowa among the firststates to provide compensation benefits for injuries sustained by in-dustrial workers. Since that time many changes have been made bysucceeding Legislatures increasing the benefits thereunder.
The Fifty-first General Assembly of Iowa established a second injuryfund, which was primarily for the benefit of returning veterans, whowere maimed by loss of members which would make it difficult for themto obtain employment, since the compensation law provides for increasedbenefits for the loss of a second member. Now the employer may hire amaimed individual and yet only be liable for the loss of the member heactually loses in his employment. The fund is created by the employerpaying to the state treasurer $100.00 for the benefit of this fund uponthe death of any employee whose injury arises out of and in the courseof his employment.
The Fifty-second General Assembly enacted what is known as the Iowaoccupational disease law covering 16 diseases and will now compensateemployees for certain diseases which may occur by reason of the processor nature of their occupation.
The weekly benefits have been increased from $20.00 to $24.00 perweek, and the hospital and medical benefits have been increased from

The Iowa Employment Security law was enacted by the 46th GeneralAssembly in extraordinary session in 1936. The law levies a tax uponemployer payrolls of eight or more workers in commercial and industrialemployment for the purpose of providing a fund from which weeklybenefits are paid to workers who are unemployed through no fault oftheir own.
Workers who are employed by employers covered by the act buildup wage credits, and upon becoming unemployed if found elegible and ifsuitable work is not available, are paid weekly benefits amounting toabout 60 per cent of their former wage, not to exceed $22.50 per weekand not to exceed 20 weeks in a year.
The rate of tax levied on payrolls in accordance with the employmentrecord of the employer. If the employment record of an employer isfavorable his contribution will be lower than the standard rate; if, how-ever, his employment record is unfavorable his contribution rate will behigher. The plan is designed to encourage employers to provide steadyemployment and avoid lay-offs.

Iowa School for the Blind—VintonDon Overbeay, Superintendent.
The aim and purpose of the Iowa School for the Blind is purely educa-tional. The course of study includes not only the subjects leading up toand required for admission to the colleges and the universities of thestate, but also subjects that aim to prepare the students for some of theoccupations in which it has been demonstrated that the blind are usuallysuccessful. After a pupil of this school reaches the high school depart-ment, he is given some latitude in the choice of courses of study. Bothliterary and industrial work are required of all students, besides somemusic.
Iowa School for the Deaf—Council BluffsLloyd E. Berg, Superintendent.
The Iowa School for the Deaf was established in 1855, the second suchinstitution west of the Mississippi river. In 1839 Edmund Booth cameto Iowa from Connecticut and settled at Anamosa. In 1846 he was aclerk in the Territorial Legislature, of which his brother was a member.The two induced the Legislature to appropriate money to send severaldeaf children to the state school in Illinois. In 1853 a private schoolwas established in Iowa City. In January, 1855, the Iowa State Legis-lature passed a bill creating the Iowa State Institution for the Deafand Dumb. From this grew the present school at Council Bluffs, thename being changed to Iowa Sqhool for the Deaf in 1888.
In character the school is just what its name implies. It cares for themental, physical and moral welfare of boys and girls between the agesof seven and nineteen.

The State University of IowaThe pioneering vision of the
First General Assembly of theState of Iowa created the StateUniversity of Iowa by an actadopted on February 25, 1847.During the century and threeyears sinee, the university'swork has touched and benefitedevery city, village and homewithin the boundaries of Iowa.
T h e university's objectiveshave been three-fold: to educatein her classrooms, to advancet h e frontiers of knowledgethrough research, and to carrythe wealth of knowledge fromher libraries, her laboratoriesand her learned faculty to thepeople of Iowa.
Consistently, throughout her" • * » * t , h e diversity h a smaintained an educational pro-
gram of the highest integrity as the base for all her activities and thefoundation upon which a superstructure of professional, semi-profes-sional and graduate education has been erected. The university is amember of the Association of American Universities, an association ofthirty-four out of the outstanding institutions of higher learning in theUnited States and Canada.
The university has pioneered in liberal education, for both men andwomen students, and today ranks with the leaders in the general edu-cation movement.
The university's objectives of teaching and research have been care-fully integrated to achieve the greatest efficiency in the teaching andlearning processes. Balanced living with proper attention to pleasanthousing, maintenance of good health, and recreational, religious andcultural activities has been provided as no less important to a roundedcollege experience.
From the days when she stood on Iowa's physical wilderness, theState University of Iowa has been on the world's educational frontier.She has pioneered and advanced with her state and, with justifiablepride, points to her distinguished contributions to the advancement ofknowledge and the well being of the State of Iowa.
The CampusThe university's buildings (more than 50) dot a 438-acre campus
stretching for nearly a mile along the banks of the gently windingIowa river.
Dominating the scene of the east bank of the river is the Old Capitol,first capitol of the State of Iowa. Its history and architecture symbolizethe pioneer spirit of Iowa and her university. Arranged about the OldCapitol in a pentacrest and in nearby blocks are the buildings housing thedepartments of the college of liberal arts and commerce; to the eastare the college of education, the Iowa child welfare research stationand the extension division, all housed in East hall; to the north are thecolleges of law, dentistry and pharmacy, the women's dormitories andIowa Memorial union; to the south are the college of engineering, thesite of the new university library, the power and water plant, and themaintenance and service buildings.
The distinctive Gothic tower of the university hospital rises above the
138 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
west campus. In its immediate vicinity stand the buildings of the med-ical center, including the college of medicine and the state bacteriologicallaboratory, children's hospital, psychopathic hospital and Westlawnnurses dormitory, which also temporarily houses the Iowa hospitalschool for severely handicapped children. To the west and south arethe athletic fields and golf course, the field house and armory; and onthe west bluffs of the Iowa stand the large dormitories for men, and onthe bank below at the water's edge are the hydraulic laboratories. To thenorth along the river's west bank are located the Law Commons, lawstudent dormitory, the Fine Arts building and the theatre.
Temporary BuildingsThese are the main permanent structures which make up the uni-
versity's physical plant. Since 1946, they have been supplemented forboth housing and classroom purposes with temporary barracks, quonsethuts and trailers, nestled in every nook among the permanent buildings,and clustered in villages along the river's edge and on the rolling hillsof the golf course.
These temporary structures have provided 1,973 housing units forstudents who converged upon the university, and who, but for thesetemporary structures, might not have had the educational opportunitythey deserve. The temporary housing includes 682 family apartmentunits, 249 trailers for families and 1,042 places for single students.
The same influx of students which overflowed the housing availableon the campus and in the city of Iowa City made necessary the supple-mentary, temporary classroom and storage facilities. The space added,77,900 square feet, represents space greater than one of the campus'major four-story classroom buildings.
Permanent ConstructionThe university's total floor space approximates 3,000,000 square feet
of nearly 70 acres. Of this amount, but 53 per cent has been constructedwith appropriated funds, the remainder being financed from earnings andgrants from outside sources. It the years since 1927, very little floorspace has been added for educational purposes, yet the university's en-rollment has increased 93 per cent.
The first major construction to be undertaken since the war is theaddition to Currier hall, women's dormitory, which will add 150 to thecapacity of the housing for women students.
A 58-year need of the university is to be partially met by the con-struction, beginning in the spring of 1949, of the first units of the uni-versity's new central library on plans now recognized as unique andlabeled the "Iowa plan".
Also scheduled for construction, beginning in 1949, is a 500-bed, 10-story Veteran's Administration General hospital on a site adjacent tothe university's widely recognized miedical center. The campus con-struction proceeds under a long-term plan devised by a campus planningcommittee and designed to provide a highly integrated, completely Ef-ficient use of all facilities and floor space.
Courses of StudyThe academic affairs of the university are conducted under two main
administrative units known as the division of research and teaching andthe division of health sciences and services. Within the division of re-search and teaching are the colleges of commerce, education, engineering,law, liberal arts, the graduate college and the summer session. The di-vision of health sciences and services includes the colleges of dentistry,medicine and pharmacy, as well as the university hospital, children'shospital, psychopathic hospital, the state bacteriological laboratory andthe hospital-school for severely handicapped children.
The university also has five schools. Of these, three—the schools ofjournalism, fine arts and social work—are affiliated with the college of
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 139
liberal arts, and one—the school of nursing—is currently affiliated withthe college of medicine, but plans are under way for its conversion to anindependent college. The school of religion is not affiliated with anycollege.
A minimum of four years' study is required for a baccalaureate de-gree from the college of liberal arts with its affiliated schools, and thesame time is required for a bachelor's degree from the colleges of com-merce, engineering and pharmacy.
Six years of study, three in pre-professional and three in professionalstudy, are required for degrees from the colleges of dentistry and law,while seven years are necessary, three in premedical and four in medicalstudy, for the degree of doctor of medicine. Currently, three years ofstudy and clinical practice are required for completion of the curriculumin the school of nursing.
Advanced degrees from the graduate college are earned under ap-proved programs of study and research with a minimum of one yearrequired for a master's degree and three years for the doctorate.
The various courses of study and fields of specialization and the de-gree conferred upon graduation are as follows:
Commerce—Accounting, banking and finance, labor and management,marketing and merchandising, secretarial training, and transportationand public utilities, leading to the degree bachelor of science in commerce.

Specialized courses in the departments of chemistry and the divisionof physical education lead to the degree of bachelor of science in therespective fields.
Students who select courses to prepare for dentistry, law and medicinemay study pre-professional subjects in the college of liberal arts forthree years and enter their chosen professional school in the fourth year.If the first year of professional study is completed successfully, the
140 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
student may receive a bachelor's degree from the college of liberalarts, since the college will give credit for one year of professional workin lieu of the fourth year necessary for a bachelor's degree.

EnrollmentPrior to World War II, the university stood among the fifteen largest
colleges and universities in the country in the total number of differentstudents of college grade enrolled annually. Its growth had proceededapace with the general upward trend of college enrollments. The uni-versity's enrollment of 1,542 different campus students of college gradein 1900-01 rose to 9,283 in 1940-41, forty years later.
Then came the overwhelming influx of the veteran students. Duringthe war, in 1943-44, the campus enrollment of college grade went down
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 141
to a low of 4,891. Just four years later, 1948-49, the enrollment hadrisen to 13,354.
The record of enrollment since 1900, by ten-year intervals to 1940 andannually thereafter, is as follows:
All types, IncludingJune to June Correspondence and
Enrollment on Campus Excluding ConferencesYear November 1 of College Grade and Short Courses1900-01 1,448 1,542 1,5421910-11 1,756 2,090 2,0901920-21 4,027 5,345 5,3451930-31 5,400 8,235 9,9011940-41 6,667 9,283 10,8201942-43 5,300 7,160 9,7061943-44 3,183 4,891 7,9571944-45 3,695 5,262 8,4921945-46 4,744 8,422 10,3741946-47 9,770 11,988 16,9081947-48 10,239 12,571 16,1091948-49 10,886 13,354 16,500 (Est.)
It is significant to note that during 1947-48 the university enrolled25% of the college enrollment in the State of Iowa, but granted 40%of all the degrees granted by Iowa colleges. This is perhaps the bestevidence of the relationship of the university to the total pattern ofhigher education in the State of Iowa. The university is a partner withthe four-year colleges and the junior colleges of Iowa in the field ofgeneral education—the processes of training citizens for good citizenship.
Beyond that level the university provides the professional and special-ized programs which provide opportunities for further study at an ad-vanced level for the graduates of junior colleges and four-year colleges,as well as for her own students. In so doing, the university is an in-tegral and indispensable part of the total program of higher educationin the State of Iowa.
Iowa State CollegeThe Iowa State College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts, locatedat Ames in one of the most beauti-ful campus settings in the UnitedStates, ranks among the nation'?great scientific and technologicalinstitutions.
It was established March 2, 1858,by the Seventh General Assemblyof Iowa and designated as a land-grant institution by the Morril]Land-Grant College Act of July 2,1862. The first students enteredOctober 21, 1868, and the first classgraduated in 1872. Since that timemore than 32,000 degrees have beenconferred by the college.
Iowa State College scientistshave made significant contributionto development and production of
atomic energy. The peacetime Iowa State College institute for atomicresearch is recognized as one of the seven major atomic research labora-
President Charles E. FrileyIowa State College
142 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
tories in the country. The atomic energy commission has allotted$4,000,000 to construct buildings for metallurgical research, A 70,000,-000-volt synchrotron is being installed for the production of electrons andx-rays.
Dr. F. H. Spedding, director of the institute, was director of the war-time atomic project established at the college in February, 1942. Theurananium purification process which came out of the Iowa State pro-gram is now known as the Spedding process.
Physical FacilitiesThe college campus totals 740 acres, with the total college domains,
including experimental farms, 3,096 acres. Forty major buildings and276 minor ones comprise the college facilities. Value of the college plantis about $24,000,000.
About 50 per cent of the college's support comes from state appropria-tions, 20 from federal appropriations, 20 from student fees and 10 frommiscellaneous sources.
To make room for student veterans returning to school, PammelCourt has been created adjacent to the main campus. Army barracks,quonset huts and trailers, number 1,250 units, house Pammel's in-habitants.
Enrollment at the college reached an all-time high of 12,200 in 1948-49. In the 1948-49 school year 2,000 degrees and certificates were granted,a considerable number of them to students from other countries.
A comprehensive building program is now under way, estimated tocost $12,000,000.
CurriculaThe college offers graduate and undergraduate work in five major
fields—agriculture, home economics, science, enginering and veterinarymedicine. In the undergraduate areas the degrees of bachlor of science,bachelor of architecture and doctor of veterinary medicine are offered;in the graduate areas, the degrees of master of science and doctor ofphilosophy.
The division of agriculture offers courses in agricultural economicsand rural sociology, vocational education, agricultural engineering, tech-nical journalism, agronomy, animal, dairy and poultry husbandry, ge-netics, forestry, horticulture, landscape architecture.
The division of engineering offers courses in aeronautical, agricultural,architectural, ceramic, chemical and mining, civil, electrical, general,industrial and mechanial engineering, theoretical and applied mechanicsand architecture.
The division of home economics applied art, child development, foodsand nutrition, diatetics, experimental cookery, home economics, journal-ism, education, home management, household equipment and textiles andclothing may be studied.
The division of science offers curricula in the biological, physical andsocial sciences with particular emphasis upon the application of thesesciences to industry and commerce and to the problems of present-daycivilization.
The division of veterinary medicine offers courses in anatomy, hygiene,medicine, obstetrics, pathology, physiology and pharmacology and sur-gery.
Units of the naval reserve officers corps, the army reserve officerscorps and the air reserve officers corps are located at the college.
Extension and ResearchEducation is extended to Iowans through the Iowa agricultural exten-
sion service and the engineering extension service. The agricultural andhome economics extension activities had their real beginning in Iowa
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 143
in 1906 at which time the work was officially organized as one of thethree major functions of Iowa State College.
In attendance at short courses on the campus during the year 1948-49were 12,000 persons.
Organized research is carried on through the Iowa agricultural experi-ment station, the Iowa engineering experiment station, the industrialscience research institute, the veterinary research institute, the institutefor atomic research and the statistical laboratory.
The college operates 38 farms and land areas for experimental pur-poses. Most recent addition is the Ankeny Farm near Des Moines of1,500 acres.
Through the agricultural experiment station major contributions havebeen made to Iowa agriculture through improved crop strains and animalproduction, among others. Chemical engineers in the engineering experi-ment station are studying uses for agricultural waste and by-products,and a study of clays by ceramic engineers is another of the station'sprojects. In the industrial science institute, production of organic chem-icals from agricultural products and study of penicillin are but a fewof tne many research studies underway. Veterinarians in their researchinstitute are continually investigating animal diseases with a view toprevention and control.
Serving all the experimental units is the statistical laboratory. Itssampling specialists gave technical help to the state department on themissions to observe the Greek elections, and to the war department onthe strategic bombing survey of Europe. A master sample of farms inthe United States made by the laboratory identifies approximately 300,-000 farms located in nearly every county in the United States. As a re-sult of this mapping project what probably is the most complete set ofmaps of the United States is on file at the college.
The college has established the Guatemala-Iowa State College tropicalresearch center at Antigua, Guatemala, to study corn and other cropsat their source of origin. Through these studies it is expected that im-portant improvements will be made in Iowa hybrids.
Iowa State Teachers CollegeThe need for establishing a sep-
arate professional college for theeducation of teachers was recog-nized in Iowa by the Second Gen-eral Assembly. Not until the Six-teenth General Assembly were ade-quate appropriations made for theestablishment of the present IowaState Teachers College at CedarFalls. Instruction began on Sep-tember 6, 1876.
Recently there has been a na-tional trend for teachers collegesto spread out into non-teachertraining areas to such an extent asto submerge their original functionof teacher education. The IowaState Teachers College continuesto adhere to its primary function—that of teacher education.
In performing the function as-signed to it by the State of Iowa,the college provides three definite
interrelated phases in its program of teacher education.(1) Pre-service teacher educationThe pre-service program conducted on the campus provides training
President Malcolm PriceState Teachers College
144 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
for all the instructional positions common to the public schools. Thescope and extent of each curriculum meet the state requirements forvarious types of teaching certificates except for the advanced secondarycertificate for which the master's degree is required. A proper balanceis maintained between the general education of the student and theprofessional training of the individual as a teacher. As a result, agraduate possesses the broad training essential to effective citizenshipplus the theoretical and practical discipline required of the teachingprofession.
(2) In-service teacher educationSince continued professional growth is necessary for teachers the same
as for members of the other learned professions, the college maintainsan extensive in-service program of teacher education. Members of thestaff are available throughout the year to work with teachers in theirown school rooms, to meet with groups of teachers and administratorsto make plans and solve instructional problems, to serve as professionalleaders at conferences, demonstrations or workshops organized for theirteachers by county and city superintendents of schools. In this mannernew techniques and methods are carried to the schools of the state.During a typical year, 1,200 days of service are thus performed in aprogram which reaches every county in the state.
(3) Professional publicationsAs a professional college, the Iowa State Teachers College maintains
a program of professional publications designed to be of service directlyto the classroom teacher. Each publication deals with a specific areaand is written by members of the staff who are best qualified to discussthe problem under consideration.
The college, through the pre-service program, educates teachers interms of the best present day professional practice. Through the in-service program and also by means of professional publications, thecollege makes available to members of the profession newer methods andtechniques of the profession. Through such a training program, thecollege seeks to perform a continuing service to the teaching profession.
Areas of Professional EducationIn the preparation of teachers for the elementary grades, the pre-
servioe curricula are already adapted to the new legislation enacted bythe Fifty-first General Assembly. Although transitional curricula arestill maintained these will become obsolete by September, 1952, whenthe minimum professional training for elementary school teachers be-comes sixty semester hours, or two years of college training. After thatdate, two-year and four-year curricula will remain which will educateteachers for the elementary schools. The two-year curricula will continueas the principal training program for rural and town elementary schools.This curriculum prepares teachers for the rural schools, for the kinder-garten-primary grades or for the grades above the primary.
The four-year or degree curriculum for teachers in the elementaryschool has grown steadily in the past decade and it is likely that at sometime in the future it will be the important curriculum for training gradeteachers. An increasing number of city schools are making the degreerequirement their minimum in the employment of grade teachers. Thereare three elementary school majors offered at the college, (1) nurseryschool-kindergarten, (2) kindergarten-primary, and (3) grades abovethe primary. There is also a special curriculum preparing teachers forthe junior high school.
The Iowa State Teachers College also prepares teachers for all in-structional positions in the junior and senior high schools. The collegetrains high school teachers in the following subjects: Agriculture, Ap-
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 145
plied Music, Art, Band and Orchestra, Biological Science, BusinessEducation, Chemistry, Distributive Education, Dramatics, Earth Science,Economics and Sociology, French, German, Government, History, Indus-trial Arts, Latin, Home Economics, Library Science, Mathematics,Physical Education for Men, Physical Education for Women, Physics,School Music, Safety Education, Science, Spanish, Speech, Vocal Music.Training for special teachers to include both grade and high schoolleadership is provided in Art, Music, Physical Education and SpeechCorrection. Preparation for high school positions requires as a minimumthe completion of a four-year curriculum.
General education is provided by thirteen instructional departmentscomparable to other colleges and universities, such as Art, BusinessEducation, English, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Languages,Library Sceince, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education for Men,Physical Education for Women, Science, and Social Science.
Professional education is provided by three closely related professionaldepartments. The basic professional courses in education are providedby the Department of Education. Opportunities for observation andstudent teaching courses are the responsibility of the Department ofTeaching. For observation and student teaching purposes, the collegemaintains a school on the campus comprising all grades from nurseryschool through the twelfth grade. Schools in neighboring towns andalso rural schools are affiliated with the college for the purpose of pro-viding additional student teaching facilities. Curriculum and instruc-tional materials are available through the service of the CurriculumLaboratory. Through the coordinated effort of the three professionaldepartments an effective training in audio-visual education is receivedby the prospective teacher.
The Physical PlantThe campus contains approximately two hundred and forty-four acres
and there are twenty-six principal buildings. The Anna B. Lawther Halland Bartlett Hall provide living accommodations for a total of onethousand and fifty women students. The George T. Baker Hall, theHomer H. Seerley Hall, and Stadium Hall accommodate a total of threehundred and twenty men. The Commons is designed to provide socialeducation and recreational training for members of the student body. Acomplete food service is housed on the ground floor of The Commons.The student health service is maintained by a resident physician and acompetent staff of nurses.
Present and Future Shortage of TeachersThere has been a critical shortage of teachers in all phases of education
during the immediate postwar period. By September, 1949, the needfor high school teachers will practically be met except in the specialsubject matter fields where the shortage will continue to exist for sometime. The need for teachers for the elementary schools will becomemore critical by September, 1949. In the elementary schools the post-war shortage still persists and is now aggravated by the rising schoolenrollment due to the increased birth rate.
The Iowa State Teachers College has remained entirely a professionalcollege engaged solely in the education of teachers in order to make themaximum contribution to the supply of teachers.

Start and Progress of State Highway CommissionThe first law creating a state highway commission in Iowa was
adopted by the General Assembly in 1904. That law simply stated thatthe Iowa State college should act as a state highway commission. Actingunder said law, the state board of education appointed Dean AnsonMarston of the engineering division, and Dean Charles F. Curtiss of theagricultural department of Iowa State college as the directors of thecommission. Thomas H. MacDonald, now commissioner of public roads,was appointed by the directors as secretary and engineer for the com-mission. The duties of the commission at that time were to make in-vestigations and studies of highway conditions and to advise with localauthorities with respect to highway improvements.
This organization continued until 1913, when the Thirty-fifth GeneralAssembly passed an act creating a state highway commission of threemembers and separated said commission from Iowa State college.
In 1927 the General Assembly passed an act which now appears aschapter 313 of the Code of 1946, creating a state highway commissionof five member, all to be appointed by the governor, not more than threeof whom could be from the same political party.
The law of 1927 placed the primary road system under the directcontrol and supervision of the state highway commission. Thomas H.MacDonald, who became secretary and engineer of the highway commis-sion in 1904, was designated as chief engineer of the highway commissionin 1913 and continued in that capacity until 1919, when he resigned andF. R. White, present chief engineer of the state highway commission,was appointed to that position.
The highway commission's duties are fourfold:First: Construction and maintenance of primary roads;Second: Construction of farm-to-market roads;Third: General supervision of secondary roads;Fourth: Engineering assistance to other departments.The commission has entire charge of and responsibility for all con-
struction and maintenance work on the primary road system. It pre-
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 151
pares the necessary surveys, plans and specifications for primary roadimprovements, lets the necessary contracts and supervises the construc-tion work. It has charge, for the state of Iowa, of the expenditure of allfederal aid road funds allotted to this state.

Outline of State Highway Commission WorkAll maintenance work on the primary road system is under the super-
vision of the commission.The secondary roads (all rural roads not included in the primary road
system and not classified as state institutional roads under chapter 308,Code 1946) are under the supervision of the county boards of supervisorsin their respective counties. However, the law places on the highwaycommission certain duties and responsibilities in connection with suchsecondary road work.
The secondary roads in each county are classified into two groups orsystems—the farm-to-market road system which includes about 35,000miles of main traveled secondary roads, and the local secondary roadsystem which includes about 58,000 miles. Changes or modifications inthe farm-to-market road system are initiated by the county board andare subject to approval by the state highway commission. It is the duty
152 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
of the county to initiate projects for the construction of farm-to-marketroads, to make surveys and prepare plans for the improvement of farm-to-market roads, and submit these plans to the state highway commis-sion for approval. It is the duty of the state highway commission toadvertise for bids, let construction contracts and give general super-vision to the construction of farm-to-market road projects.
The law also places on the highway commission certain duties and re-sponsibilities in connection with secondary road work paid for by thecounty from the county secondary road construction and maintenancefunds. Secondary road construction programs proposed by the countyboards must receive the commission's approval. Plans prepared by thecounty engineers for secondary road improvements must be submitted tothe state highway commission for approval. Contracts awarded by theboards of supervisors for secondary road construction work involving acost of $2,000.00 per mile or more, or more than $5,000.00 in the aggre-gate, or more than $2,000.00 for any one bridge or culvert, must be ap-proved by the state highway commission before becoming effective.
In case two adjacent counties are unable to agree on any county linerosd or bridge construction of maintenance matter, either board mayappeal to the state highway commission to determine said controversy.
The commission, on request, renders engineering assistance to variousother state departments. This includes the making of surveys andpreparation of plans and general supervision of construction and main-tenance of public highways upon or adjacent to lands belonging to thestate at the various educational, charitable and penal institutions, andat state parks, engineering assistance to the executive council on streetimprovements on and adjacent to the capitol grounds, assistance to thenational guard on projects in connection with the national guard camp,and various other technical matters which may come before such otherstate departments.

The office of commissioner of insurance, as the executive head of theinsurance department of Iowa, was created by chapter 146 of the lawsof the Thirty-fifth General Assembly (1913) and the first commissionertook office July 1, 1914. Previous to that time, the supervision of in-surance had been under the direction of the auditor of state.
The commissioner of insurance has general control, supervision, anddirection over all insurance business transacted in the state, and ischarged with the responsibility of enforcing all the laws of the staterelating to insurance.
Under the law, all securities in which the reserves of Iowa life insur-ance companies are invested are required to be deposited with the com-missioner and complete records are kept showing each item on depositat all times. The amount of approved securities representing these andother incidental deposits in the hands of the commissioner on June 1,1949, amounted to $1,018,999,093.31.
The commissioner supervises all transactions relating to the organiza-tion, reorganization, liquidation and dissolution of domestc insurancecorporations.

The Fifty-second General Assembly enacted a statute effective October1, 1947, which requires insurance companies to file all rates with theinsurance commissioner for approval. The effective date for filing rateswas January 1, 1948, and a rating division has been set up within theinsurance department to handle rate filings together with supportingstatistical information. The rating division will be expanded from timeto time as the work load increases and statistical information becomesavailable.
The commissioner conducts examination of all domestic insurance or-ganizations every two years. He may also make an examination of anyforeign insurance company authorized or seeking to be authorized to dobusiness within the state. All policy forms used by any company withinthe state are required to be approved by the department.

State Historical ActivitiesThe State Historical department organized in 1892 by Charles Aldrich
State Historical building erected in 1889 and 1908, reorganized as IowaState department of history and archives in 1939, activities describedas follows:
The dominant motif of the Iowa State department of history andarchives is preserving the history of Iowa—its development from theera of many thousands of years ago, the roaming upon its prairies by the
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 157
aborigines, the enjoyment here by the red men in his hunting exploits,the discovery and mining of its lead and coal deposits, the coming of theIndian trader and the pioneer, the early community settlements, theestablishment of schools and churches, the organization as a territoryand later admission to statehood, the building of roads and the coming ofthe railroads, the progress of its people and its institutions—all a gloriouspanorama of its history from the beginning up to the present.
In achieving this high purpose a major objective has been the gather-ing of historical source material—the substance from which history iswritten. The Iowa Historical department was founded in 1892, andquickly became an important link in the chain of educational and cul-tural activities of the state, occupying a field then only partially de-veloped for systematically collecting and preserving at the seat of gov-ernment the priceless materials and records of Iowa development. Fromsmall beginnings the department has grown in fifty years to fill andoverflow the beautiful building erected on the state capitol grounds at anoriginal cost of about $375,000, and in later years to acquire by pur-chase the Kasson Memorial building, situated at a short distance, as atemporary cataloging workshop for the immense accumulation of archivalmaterial for ultimate placement in a permanent and suitable buildingto be erected upon space reserved for that purpose upon the capitolgrounds.
Here is a unique and unrivaled institution in which all Iowa has prideand its people visit continually, open every day, in which may be foundthe available Iowa materials that show how things came to be as theyare, how the people lived at various stages of their progress, the qualityof their thinking and their achievements here in Iowa—the classroomequipment for the practical study of life from prehistoric, primitive andpioneering times to the later days of community building.
In the museums are found a wide range of exhibits. Here are shownthe tools, utensils and implements used by Iowa pioneers to conquer thewilderness and convert a hunter's paradise into a land of unparalleledproductivity and industry; also the tepees and wickiups of the Indians,their canoes, weapons, pipes, domestic utensils, clothing, beadwork,industries, used in their home life; a fine museum of natural history,specimens constituting a visual education in the story of Iowa's birds,animals, insects, flowers, trees, soil, geology and the prehistoric pre-paratory time. Specimens of mounted animals and birds, color slidesfor projectors, are provided upon application for display by local schoolsover the state, as well as other material of educational character. Ofour extinct birds, a pair of passenger pigeons are exhibited. These wereonce so plentiful in Iowa that 5,000 birds were once killed in Scott andClinton counties in two days. Of Iowa's rare birds, a sandhill crane, apair of pileated woodpeckers, an eared grebe, upland plovers, prairiechickens and ruffed grouse are shown. In the mammal collection a pairof buffalo and a young calf are excellent specimens. Moose, elk and afawn are included.
Iowa's geologic column is represented by rock samples from everyformation of the state, including also an exhibit of fossil crinoids fromthe Mississippian era. In the fossil coal plant series are shown some ofthe finest specimens in the United States. These plants were growinghere two hundred and fifty million years ago.
An unrivaled collection of autograph letters and papers of authors,explorers and statesmen of the nation, representing the lifetime effortsas a collector of Charles Aldrich, the founder of the institution, becamethe foundation upon which has been built a manuscript division, morelargely devoted to filings of the writings, addresses, documents andcorrespondence of eminent Iowans, supplying valuable unrecorded chap-ters in state history, which serves in a useful way the entire state, and is
158 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
visited by research writers and consulted by many others from distantplaces.
The State Historical library contributes to the inestimable value of theinstitution. On its shelves are now upwards of 37,000 books about Iowa,or by Iowa authors, Iowa state and county histories, family records andreferences for research in genealogy, declared by students to be one ofthe finest genealogical libraries in the middle west, in constant use bypeople from all parts of this and other states.
From varied sources were obtained files of Iowa daily and weeklynewspapers, and since the establishment of the department a systematicbuilding of a newspaper division has been accomplished. Its catalogcontains listing of the permanent files of the papers from every county,beginning with the Dubuque Visitor in 1836 and other publications ofterritorial days down to the present, containing graphic history of Iowapeople and events as recorded by the faithful and talented editors andreporters of the century just closed. These papers are consulted almostdaily by those seeking information and establishing historic and factualdata regarding local and state happenings. There is no comparable sourceof authentic information available.
The oil portraits of distinguished Iowans, including the outstandingmen and women who have contributed to Hawkeye culture, progressand prosperity, and hung in the magnificent gallery. There appear thethree governors of the Territory of Iowa, most of the governors of thestate, justices of the supreme court, cabinet officers from Iowa, and othereminent citizens, including writers, editors and outstanding members ofthe clergy.
The War History division contains some of the most precious docu-ments held in preservation for future generations. The record of Iowain the Civil war, the Spanish-American war, and in all other militaryactivities since, is extensive, and includes not only many manuscripts,reports and official publications, but the enlistment and service papersof the Iowa volunteers and of members of the national guard—all richin reminders and record of Iowa's part in five great wars. The morerecent work of collecting for the state the details of the history of every-thing done in and by Iowa in World War n has produced a vast ac-cumulation of valuable material. Thousands of portraits and intimatehome and service records of those who have made the supreme sacrificehave been assembled; and the state, local and federal agencies havecooperated with this department to make the details as complete as theyare reliable; also found here are uniforms, weapons, flags, relics and warmementoes from battlefield, war prison, ship and airfield, and fromevery continent and clime where Iowans have fought and died.
In the cataloging and classification of historical material, leaflets andfolders embracing varied subjects have been prepared and are availableupon request. In the Annals of Iowa, the historical magazine issuedquarterly, appear interpretative studies and articles upon the state andits people. In the more than half century it has been published theAnnals has been drawing upon the experiences of men who participatedin or witnessed at close range the developments of which they write,being primarily a source book of Iowa history. As such a repository ithas made available to the people of the state a vast amount of accuratedata that otherwise would not have been accessible.
The Iowa public archives, or state records, comprise literally millionsof terns, such as census records from territorial days, the record booksand correspondence files of state officers with papers and documents onwhich official action was had, legislative filings from territorial periodso far as preserved. These records are in daily demand and use for ref-erence and more especially in legal procedure for verification of names
\IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 159
and for other facts. Only such material as may have administrative,legal or historical value is received for archival files, but the accumu-lation through the years has become so voluminous that it is taxing thefacilities now available. However, through the cataloging system nowemployed the state archivists are more closely integrating the activitiesof this division with the current filing systems of the state departmentscontributing the records, which now constitute a back file of depart-mental papers and records arranged for immediate inspection at anytime.

Communicable and Preventable DiseasesPreventable diseases are by their very nature of vital concern to the
community and the state. Reports of various infectious diseases arereceived daily from physicians and health officers throughout the state.These reports are surveyed and tabulated so as to make possible a studyby weeks and months of the current prevalence of disease as comparedwith the preceding year and period of years. Field investigations aremade upon request of local health officers or other officials, to determinethe nature and extent of outbreaks and to assist with control measures.The department through articles, reports, literature, talks, correspond-ence and graphic presentations, aims to inform the public about diseaseprevention.
Emphasis in the pneumonia control program is on lowering the num-ber of deaths from this cause, through accurate laboratory diagnosis andmodern treatment. Diagnostic serum is supplied without charge to hos-pital typing stations; sulfa drugs and serum are furnished for treatmentof underprivileged patients.
The division of tuberculosis is directed by a physician with specialtraining and experience, aided by nurses who have specialized in thestudy of tuberculosis. Staff members cooperate with attending physi-cians and health officers in the reporting of cases, in the conduct ofspecial surveys and in measures to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
Every effort is put forth in cooperation with physicians, to obtaincomplete reports of venereal disease cases. This work is carried outunder the direction of physicians and nurses with special training andexperience. Control measures include provision for the care of indigentpatients with particular reference to follow-up work and investigationof sources of infection.
The department's serum-plasma center prepares and distributes con-valescent serum for prevention and control of diseases such as measles,scarlet fever and whooping cough. The serum-plasma center cooperateswith many hospitals in Iowa, in the distribution of pooled plasma andserum for emergency civilian needs.
Maternal and Child HealthThe activities of the division are designed to make known to those
concerned, the health needs of mothers and children and how they shouldand can be met. These activities are directed in the fields of medicine,dentistry, and nutrition by personnel specially trained in those fields.For the war period a special service was added to provide prenatalcare at home and delivery care at the University hospital for the wivesof servicemen under the rank of commissioned officer who otherwise wereunable to obtain it.
Public Health NursingThe department maintains a division of public health nursing and
provides a whole-time supervisory service for public health nurses and
162 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950

onstration and supervises care given by relatives and attendants.3. Assists the family to carry out medical, sanitary and social pro-
cedures for the prevention of disease and the promotion of health.4. Helps to secure adjustment of social conditions which affect health.5. Provides information regarding sound public health nursing prac-
tices to the community and cooperates actively with communityagencies in the improvement of health conditions.
Public Health Engineering and Industrial HygienePreventing spread of disease through environment sources—that is
the goal of public health engineering and industrial hygiene. Duties maybe enumerated as fact-finding, advisory, educational and law enforce-ment, with emphasis on the first three. Engineering activities have todo with public water supplies; public sewerage, sewage and waste dis-posal; stream pollution; swimming pools; industrial establishments; va-rious public health nuisances; insects and rodents; plumbing; housing,and numerous other natural and artificial facilities requiring sanitarysafeguarding.
Vital StatisticsThe division is charged with the collection, recording and filing reports
of births, deaths, marriages and divorces. Statistical studies and analysisof these records are made and the results of these studies are releasedfor the information of the public.

If you were born in Iowa and your birth record is not on file, youcan place it on file by completing a delayed birth certificate, which youmay file with the county clerk in the county where you were born, orsend it direct to this office.
Public Health EducationPublic health education supplements the tools, skills and learning of
the medical, dental, engineering and nursing professions in the preven-tion and control of disease. Their information is translated into manyforms in order to reach the public with impact.

Duties of State Safety CommissionThe Iowa department of public safety was created by the Forty-eighth
General Assembly in 1931 by consolidating several bureaus and divisionsunder one executive head designated as commissioner of public safety.One of the obvious purposes of the Legislature in the creation of thisdepartment was to facilitate the cooperation and coordination of thelaw enforcement agencies of counties, cities and towns.
As a result of such coordination, the Iowa highway accident fatalityrate was lower in 1948 than in any other year in the state's history.By accomplishing a substantial reduction in the accident rate from theyear 1946, over 2aO lives and $11 million in property damage and per-sonal injury costs were saved.
The work of the department may best be explained by setting forththe activities of the several divisions as follows:
Division of Highway PatrolS. N. JESPERSEN, Polk County, Chief.CLARENCE SHIRER, Butler County, Chief Examiner.
The Iowa highway safety patrol was created by the Forty-sixth Gen-eral Assembly with a personnel of fifty-three men which was expandedby the Forty-seventh General Assembly to one hundred twenty-eight men.This number was increased to one hundred sixty by the Fifty-first Gen-eral Assembly.
The original duties of the Iowa highway safety patrol were to enforceall provisions of the motor vehicle laws relating to the regulation ofmotor vehicles and laws of the road, with power to arrest without war-rant any person or persons committing or attempting to commit withintheir presence or view a breach of peace or other violation of the law. TheForty-eighth General Assembly broadened the scope of their powers by
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 175
providing that they shall have and exercise all the powers of any peaceofficer of the state. There are, however, certain restrictions on theexercise of their general powers, which restrictions, as well as duties,is enumerated in full in chapter 80 of the Code of Iowa, 1946.
Members of the highway safety patrol give examinations to applicantsfor operators' and chauffeurs' licenses, conduct hearings in connectionwith suspension and revocation of operators' and chauffeurs' licenses,and investigate serious accidents occurring upon the highways of thestate.
General activity of the highway safety patrol has increased sharply inthe past two years. In 1948. patrolmen contacted more than 160,000drivers on the highways. This is 15 per cent of Iowa's driving population.More than 25,000 of these motorists had experienced car trouble andwere assisted by the patrol. In 320 emergency cases, first aid was ren-dered by patrolmen.
Patrolmen issued nearly 18,000 warning tickets last year compared toonly 312 in 1946 and 5,757 in 1947. The warning ticket does not im-mediately penalize the motorist though it is marked on his driving record.A series of these warnings to a particular driver within a reasonableperiod is basis for license suspension.
Notification of illegal or faulty equipment tickets issued by the patrollast year numbered 82.000 compared to 50,000 in 1947. Issuance of thisticket requires the motorist to put his vehicle in safe driving condition.
The 27,555 summons tickets written by the patrol last year markedonly a slight increase over 1947. Fines derived from this source, how-ever, increased by well over $100,000. The highway patrol recoveredstolen property valued at $340,000 last year. Another $90,000 in privatelyowned property was saved by use of the fire extinguisher by patrolmen.
In the last six months of 1948, the 23 license examining teams of thepatrol renewed more than 288,000 drivers' licenses. This is one-fourth ofall driver licenses that must be renewed in Iowa. In three months dur-in the same period the teams also renewed 100,000 chauffeurs' licensesand issued 30,000 instruction permits. A vision test was given to alllicense applicants.
The patrol traveled more than 7 million duty miles in 1948, an increaseof more than one million miles over 1947. Average patrol strength duringthe last year was 157 men as compared to 150 in 1947 and 138 in 1946.
Division of Criminal InvestigationR. W. NEBERGALL, Story County, Chief.
The division of criminal investigation is a specialized bureau whichcooperates with and supplements the work of local officers of the Stateof Iowa. It is not a local policing unit but serves the law enforcementofficers of counties and municipalities as a central agency to which allmay come for help on difficult criminal investigations. It is also chargedwith responsibility for certain matters involving the internal securityof the State of Iowa. In addition, it is called upon to investigate mat-ters involved in the functioning of state government and cooperates withthe various elective and appointive officers of the state in all suchmatters.
There are three main subdivisions of the division of criminal investiga-tion; namely, the investigative section, the identification section andthe technical laboratory.
The investigative section is concerned with the work of the specialagents of the division. Upon receiving a request for aid from a dulyauthorized law enforcement officer, a special agent is given a definiteassignment by Chief Nebergall to assist that officer in the investigationof the specific case. Daily reports are required from all special agentsand these are carefully studied and reviewed with the special agent be-fore an arrest is made. Investigations conducted by special agents ofthis division range from cases involving murder, rape, robbery, extor-
176 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
tion, bank robbery, etc., on down through the entire category of majorcrime.
In the identification section is a huge storehouse of information.Here are kept the fingerprints of all criminals, a civilian fingerprintfile for personal identification, files of modus operandi of various classesof criminals including their photographs, a criminal record file whichreflects in chronological order each arrest and sentence of the subjectand a card index file including the name and all aliases known to havebeen used by the subject.
The fingerprint files in this division constitute the clearing house ofcriminal records for the State of Iowa. Under Iowa law sheriffs andpolice departments are required to fingerprint those arrested for com-mission of specified types of law violations and to forward copies of suchfingerprints to this division. Fingerprints have long been recognized asthe only infallible method of personal identification known to man. Asthe fingerprint cards are received they are classified and searched againstthe master fingerprint file. If they are identified with a previous record,a complete transcript of that subject's criminal record, as contained in thefiles of the division, is immediately forwarded to the agency which sub-mitted the fingerprints.
The technical laboratory of the division of criminal investigation isa modern crime laboratory which utilizes the aid of science in the solutionof crime mysteries which frequently could not be solved in any other way.One of the important services rendered by the laboratory to local officersis the comparison of handwritings, particularly in fraudlent check cases;however, the problems are many and varied. They may involve aquestion of fraudulent alteration of a document, the restoration of fadedor obliterated writings, comparison of typewritten material, or pos-sibly a comparison of inks or papers. Requests are frequently madefor a comparison of writing or printing on anonymous or poison penletters.
Photography is an important tool of the modern, trained investigatorand the technical laboratory is equipped to handle any photographicproblem from "shooting" the crime scene to the use of ultra-violet lightin photographing for permanent record invisible stains, invisible writ-ings and alterations on documents, latent fingerprints on multi-coloredsurfaces, etc. The sciences of biology, chemistry and physics also playimportant parts in the work done in the technical laboratory. This workincludes spectographic examinations, firearms identification, microscopicexaminations, lie detector tests, examinaton of tool marks, restora-tion of obliterated serial numbers on metal and rubber objects and theexamination of glass fractures, to mention only a few.
The services of this bureau, including testimony of the special agentsand technicians in court, are services of this department of state gov-ernment which are available without charge to all duly constituted lawenforcement agencies and the courts of this state upon their request.

Safety Responsibility and Drivers License DivisionK. F. NEU, Cerro Gordo County, Director.
The 52nd General Assembly passed the motor vehicle financial andsafety responsibility act which brought into being a new office in thepublic safety department called safety responsibility and accidentrecords. Safety responsibility was combined with accident records andbegan operation as a single coordinated unit on October 1, 1947. The workof accident records is to tabulate all motor vehicle accidents and high-way patrol summons and warning tickets. Statistical reports are maderegularly relative to all accidents occurring on the highways of thisstate.
The over-all purpose of safety responsibility and accident recordsis to administer the financial and safety responsibility act which re-quires: (1) any motorist involved in a reportable accident to post proofwith the safety department of his financial ability to pay for the dam-ages arising from that accident, and (2) any motorist convicted ofoperating a vehicle without a license or convicted of a traffic violationinvolving suspension or revocation of his license or failure to satisfyjudgment resulting from an accident to post proof of financial responsi-bility for the future before he may again receive a driver's license.
The primary functions of the chauffeur's license division of the depart-ment of public safety are: (1) the issuance of operators' licenses to thosequalifying under the law, either through examinations conducted by thehighway patrol, or through regular renewal; (2) the enforcement of stat-utory provisions governing suspension, revocation and denial of operators1
licenses, enacted for the removal from the highway of those persons whoare physically or mentally incompetent to operate a motor vehicle withsafety, and those persons whose driving actions seem to indicate a dis-regard of the value of their operating privileges; (3) the maintenanceof an accumulative permanent record of each driver showing all viola-tions, restrictions, accidents, or suspensions or revocations against hisdriving record.
Division of Safety EducationFRANK B. ULISH, Webster County, Acting Director.
The division of safety education was created by the Forty-eighth Gen-eral Assembly for the purpose of promoting highway safety education.The division cooperates with the national, state and county safety coun-cils in various safety activities and renders other valuable service inpromotion of safety upon our highways.
A safety film library and exchange is maintanied by this division.Field men for safety education travel to all parts of the state deliver-ing lectures, radio talks, showing films, giving demonstrations anddrivers' tests, and aiding in local safety promotions. Field representa-tives are also available for consultation with schools on safety programsand driver education and training, and with city officials on their trafficproblems. The office of safety education also undertakes to keep thepeople of Iowa informed on accident trends, new traffic legislation andsafety measures. Extensive mailing lists are maintained in this office
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 179
for the distribution of posters, pamphlets and printed safety materialto all schools and to organizations interested in promoting safety.
Division of Dealers' LicensesJ. F. CARLSON, Pocahontas County, Director.
An act passed by the 47th General Assembly establishing the motorvehicle dealer's license division for the purpose of prohibiting and pre-venting irresponsible, unreliable or dishonest persons from engaging inbusiness of selling, bartering or otherwise dealing in motor vehicles andto encourage reliable persons to engage in the business of selling motorvehicles. In order to become a licensed dealer in Iowa, a person mustmeet the requirements in the act and before entering into businss ofselling motor vehicles at retail, he must secure a license as provided bythe act. At the present time there are 2,603 motor vehicle dealers, 134motorcycle dealers, and 418 operators and transporters in Iowa.
THE INDIANS IN IOWAThe Mesquakie Indians who are residents and voters in Iowa number
around 500. Iowa was for many years cherished home of their ancestorsand friends.
They own, as a tribe or family, 3,600 acres of land in the Iowa rivervalley in Tama county. This is their collective farm, bought by themwith their own money, managed and cultivated by them, on which theylive, where they study and have their religious services. The State ofIowa many years ago by law gave them authority to own tribal land andproperty and the title is held in trust for them. They pay taxes and thosewho are qualified are voters.
They have a genuine democratic government for themselves, elect acouncil of managers and the council has a chief or president. They havea school and all the younger people can write the English language.Some of the older ones have never learned other than their own language,which is used by all of them.
The Mesquakie tribe is of the Algonquin family. They formerly livedon the Atlantic coast, then moved westward through New York andCanada, and in Wisconsin in the early fur trading days, they formed afederation with their kinsmen, the Sacs, or Saukies. The Mesquakieswere called by the traders Reynards or Foxes and their name meansthe "people of the red earth." A century ago they lived in several campsalong the Mississippi river, then moved into the Des Moines valley, fol-lowed the agency and army to Raccoon forks, and departed from DesMoines when Iowa was admitted as a state.
Some of the Mesquakies so loved their homes in Iowa that they gaveup their government payments and returned from their southwesternreservations. The state gave them permission to live in Iowa as a tribeand with money received in settlement with the government they boughttheir present lands.
On their Tama county farm they live in comfortable houses and dress,in the main, as their white neighbors. Formerly the head men resistedefforts at educating the young, but now they go to school and are aptscholars. They keep up their wickiups, not to live in, but for their visitsand ceremonies. They also have one large tribal hall in which theyhold their religious ceremonies regularly, several services each week,conducted in their own language by their own leaders and preservingtheir own forms of worship.
They are quite skillful in various industries—weaving, basket making,bead work and in leather. One-third of the land is cultivated but theremainder is largely rough pasture land. The tribe has a tractor, butuses horses for farm work, and there are cows, hogs and chickens.

Information on State FairFor more than 90 years, the Iowa State Fair has been gaining steadily
in size, prestige and public service. Today, it is nationally recognizedas America's greatest agricultural and livestock fair. Situated in theheart of the world's wealthiest agricultural empire, it is the focal pointeach year for exhibitors of the finest livestock and farm produce. In at-tendance, too, it stands in the front rank of the great educational andentertainment expositions on the North American continent.
The Iowa State Fair, the original "State Fair" of a best-selling noveland of two hit motion pictures, is held in Des Moines each year. It runsfor 10 days, starting in late August and sometimes carrying into the firstfew days of September. Attendance each year runs near or over 500,000.
The livestock show, largest of its kind in America, attracts from 6,000to 7,000 of the finest farm animals from 20 leading agricultural states.The 4-H and F.F.A. shows, statewide congresses of farm young people'sorganizations and their livestock and projects, add to the fame of thefair. Other major educational features include the corn and small grainshow, farm machinery exposition, flower and garden show, art salon,photographic salon, school exposition, women's exposition, harness andsaddle horse show, culinary and needlework departments, fish and gameshow, hall of science, automobile show and homes exposition.
From the huge State Fair grandstand, one of the finest amphitheatersin the nation, fairgoers witness an eight-day series of spectacles andevents including national championship auto races, midwest circuit horseraces, thrill day stunts, musical extravaganzas, fireworks and circus acts.
The first and second Iowa State Fairs were held in Fairfield, Iowa, in1854 and 1855. From 1856 to 1879, the State Fair moved from city tocity. It was held in Muscatine in 1856 and 1857; Oskaloosa, 1858 and1859; Iowa City, 1860 and 1861; Dubuque, 1862 and 1863; Burlington,1864-1866; Clinton, 1867 and 1868; Keokuk, 1869, 1870, 1874 and 1875;and Cedar Rapids, 1871, 1873 and 1876-1878.
In 1879 the State Fair moved to Des Moines to stay. In 1884 theLegislature appropriated $50,000 to purchase a state fairgrounds, oncondition that the city of Des Moines raise an equal amount for buildingsand facilities. The city concurred, and Iowa thus became the secondstate in the Northwest to acquire a permanent site for its fair.
In 1923 the General Assembly changed the former method of fair ad-ministration by providing for an Iowa department of agriculture and a
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 181
state fair board, and giving this board the duty of managing the fairand the custody of the fairgrounds. Under this law, the fair board com-prises one director from each congressional district. These directors,together with the president and vice-president of the fair, are elected atthe annual midwinter session of the state agricultural convention. Im-mediately after that convention, the state fair board elects its secretaryand its treasurer.
All operating expense, maintenance and other costs of the fair arepaid out of fair receipts, except where the Legislature may deem it ad-visable to make a special appropriation for such purposes. The law pro-vides that the state will not be liable for any expenses or liabilities in-curred by the fair.
Since 1902 the Legislature has appropriated $1,130,050 for the con-struction of permanent buildings on the fairgrounds, purchase of addi-tional land and for necessary improvements. In recent years, however,the State Fair has used only its own revenues for these purposes. Alto-gether, since 1902, the fair itself has expended approximately $1,634,000for maintenance and improvements from actual profits of the fair. Thelatest major building project financed by fair funds is the new fireproof4-H Girls' dormitory, on which construction was begun in the spring of194&. Premiums, amounting to over $145,000 a year, are also providedby the fair for winners in exhibits and contests.
How the State Fair has grown during its nine decades of progresscan best be shown by comparing statistics on the first fair of 1854 andthe average figures for the 1947 and 1948 fairs:
1854 1947-48Total Average

the agricultural progress of Iowa. Features and exhibits are keyed, eachyear, to new trends in farming and livestock production. Through itsthousands of exhibits, it gives visitors an unparalleled opportunity tostudy, compare and learn. By every standard of measure, the Iowa StateFair has been making new progress each year since World War II—and helping, more than ever, to make Iowa the greatest farm and live-stock state in the nation.

Iowa Cares for Its Mentally 111
On February 27, 1861, the first patient was received at the state hospitalat Mount Pleasant, generally said to be the first institution of its kindwest of the Mississippi river.
For the past 29 years Iowa has had four institutions to care for itsmentally afflicted, those at Independence, Clarinda and Cherokee havingbeen added. These are now know as state hospitals for insane.

entire story of what Iowa is doing for its mentally deficient and unfit.The state board of control has jurisdiction over two other institutionsbelonging to this same general classification: The Glen wood State schoolat Glenwood, which received its first patient on September 1, 1867; andthe hospital for epileptics and school for feeble-minded, at Woodward,which received its first patient on September 3, 1917.
Each of these six institutions is open to general visitors within cer-tain prescribed hours each day, and parents at any time. To the limitof funds available they are well kept, sanitary and attractive, the build-ings at each place being surrounded by large grounds, nicely landscapedand properly tended. While the atmosphere at all is depressing, enter-tainment is arranged for as many as can mentally enjoy it.
The present superintendents are as follows: Mount Pleasant, Dr. L. P.Ristine; Independence, Max E. White; Clarinda, Dr. Norman D. Ren-der; Cherokee, Willard C. Brinegar; Glenwood, Dr. V. J. Meyer; andWoodward, Dr. George L. Wadsworth.

Iowa Penal InstitutionsState Penitentiary at Fort Madison
The prison at Fort Madison is more than 100 years old. It was estab-lished in 1839, the year after Iowa became a territory, and seven yearsbefore it became a state.
Under the able guidance of the board of control and recent wardens,the Fort Madison penitentiary has achieved high rank among the na-tion's penal institutions. Outbreaks have been few and escapes infre-quent. A parole system enables the men of highest intelligence and bestrecords to work on the prison farms, away from the enclosure, and evento go to the state's various other institutions under the board of control(state hospitals and schools) to work and live on an honor system.
The inmates as far as is possible are kept at work, according to theirterms of sentence, many being fitted for industries at which they cansupport themselves after release. Each prisoner is interviewed, upon ad-mittance, by the chaplain and the warden, in an effort to see what workhe should be put to and what can best be done to reclaim him.
The inmates have recreation and amusement opportunities. Headphoneradios are installed in the cells and good programs are furnished froma central control. A good library is well patronized; athletics and mov-ing pictures make life more bearable. Baseball, kittenball, tennis, box-ing, wrestling, horseshoe pitching, football and basketball give ampleopportunity to most of the men to keep in good physical trim.
Under the law all condemned prisoners are executed at Fort Madison.The present warden is Col. P. A. Lainson.
Men's Reformatory at AnamosaThe men's reformatory is located at Anamosa, where the first prisoner
was admitted on May 13, 1873. Originally intended for first and youthfuloffenders, and the criminally insane, within recent years prisoners havebeen transferred from Fort Madison as conditions demand.
Grain and livestock farming are carried on here on a large scale. Alarge modern canning plant is operated here as an industry. Most of thevegetables for the other state institutions are canned here. Other in-dustries include the manufacture of soap, clothing, automobile numberplates, road signs and cheese.
The prisoners are kept at work, according to the sentences imposedon them, but they have ample recreation and amusement facilities, in-cluding various sports and games, radio programs and moving pictures.Part of the reformatory yard, or enclosure, is flooded during the winter,permitting ice skating.
The warden of the men's reformatory is Foss Davis.
Women's Reformatory at Rockwell CityWomen over 18 years old, convicted of offenses which carry a term of
more than 30 days, are sent to the women's reformatory at RockwellCity. The first prisoner was received on May 2, 1918.
The fact than many short-term offenders are sent to Rockwell City,instead of being kept in county jails, makes the per capita cost of main-tenance large. The women are given an opportunity to attend schooland have various entertainments and amusements, including movies,dances, lectures and recitals, home talent plays and picnics.
The superintendent is Mrs. Helen M. Talboy.
Training School for Boys, EldoraThe training school for boys, at Eldora, was opened March 31, 1868.
This school is for incorrigible and delinquent boys, sent there upon court

Competent schools are presided over by efficient teachers. Athletics,debates, home talent plays, a fine band, moving pictures, a good libraryand other opportunities are provided to improve mind and body.
The present superintendent is Hollis L. Miles.

eral Assembly and became effective July 4, 1937. During the fiscal yearending June 30, 1946, total assistance and benefits were paid in theamount of $535,437.17.

214 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
The Government of IowaPrepared for the Iowa Official Register by the State Historical
Society of Iowa.
The government of the State of Iowa is based upon a constitutionadopted by the people and upon statute laws enacted from time to timeby the General Assembly. Iowa has had two state constitutions, thefirst approved in 1846, the second one in 1857. The present constitutionhas been amended a number of times.
The Electorate—All men and women who have lived in Iowa for sixmonths and in the county in which they claim residence for sixty daysare entitled to vote if they are citizens of the United States and aretwenty-one years of age or over. Persons convicted of infamous crimesand those declared idiotic or insane are, however, disfranchised. Theright of women to vote in Iowa is based upon the nineteenth amendmentto the United States constitution.
Election Days—The regular elections for national, state, district andcounty officers are held on the Tuesday following the first Monday ofNovember of the even-numbered years. Candidates, with a few excep-tions, are nominated at the primary election held on the first Monday inJune preceding the general election. Provision is also made for nomina-tions by petition or convention. Political parties must use the primaryfor nominating candidates, but in case no candidate receives the neces-sary thirty-five per cent at the primary, a convention may nominate.
The Legislative DepartmentGeneral Assembly—The legislative authority of the State of Iowa is
vested by the constitution in a General Assembly which consists of aSenate and a House of Representatives. The terms of both senators andrepresentatives begin on the first day of January following their elec-tion. Regular sessions are held biennially, commencing on the secondMonday of January of the odd-numbered years. Special sessions of theGeneral Assembly may be called by the proclamation of the governor.
House of Representatives—The House of Representatives consists ofone hundred and eight members, elected for two years. Each of theninety-nine counties is entitled to one representative and each of thenine counties having the largest population elects an additional repre-sentative. Any person who has resided in the state for one year andhas the qualifications of a voter is eligible for election as a representa-tive. Women were admitted to the General Assembly by an amendmentto the state constitution adopted in 1926. The House of Representativeselects a speaker and other officers.
Senate—The Senate consists of fifty members, elected by districts fora term of four years. A senatorial district contains from one to threecounties, according to population, and elects one senator. According tothe constitution, approximately one-half the senators are to be elected ateach alternate biennial election, but due to changes in the districts,the terms of twenty-one senators now expire at the end of each alter-nate legislative biennium and those of twenty-nine in the interveningyears. Senators must be twenty-five years of age and have the otherqualifications required of representatives.
The Executive DepartmentElective Officers—The constitution of Iowa makes provision for a
governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor of state andtreasurer of state, who are elected for terms of two years at the regularbiennial elections in the even-numbered years. In addition, the General
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 215
Assembly has made provision for a secretary of agriculture, elected fortwo years; a board of commerce commissioners of three members, anda superintendent of public instruction, chosen for four years.
Governor—The supreme executive power of the state is vested in thegovernor. It is his duty to see that the laws are enforced, to supervisethe official business of the state, to make recommendations to the Gen-eral Assembly, and to appoint various officers and boards. He has thepower to call special sessions of the Legislature and to veto acts passedby the General Assembly, but a majority of two-thirds of each housemay pass a bill over his veto. To qualify as governor, a person musthave been a citizen of the United States and a resident of the state forat least two years and must be thirty years of age or over at the dateof election.
Lieutenant Governor—The lieutenant governor succeeds the governorin case of his death, resignation or disability. His chief function is toact as president of the Senate.
Appointive Officers—Inaddition to the executive officers mentioned,all of whom are elected, there are a number of appointive officers, in-cluding the comptroller, the superintendent of banking, the insurancecommissioner, the labor commissioner, the adjutant general, the com-missioner of public health and the industrial commissioner, all appointedby the governor, usually with the approval of the Senate. The governoralso appoints, with the approval of the senate, the members of a num-ber of administrative boards, including the state board of education, theboard of control of state institutions, the state tax commission, theboard of parole, the state board of conservation, the liquor control com-mission, the state highway commission and the unemployment compensa-tion commission.
Executive Council—The executive council is an ex officio board madeup of the governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and secretaryof agriculture.
State Printing Board—The state printing board has three ex officiomembers—the secretary of state, auditor and attorney general—and twomembers appointed by the governor. This board appoints the superin-tendent of printing.
The Judicial DepartmentThe judicial department of the State of Iowa is vested by the consti-
tution in a supreme court, district courts and such other inferior courtsas the General Assembly shall provide.
Supreme Court—The supreme court at present consists of nine justices,elected for terms of six years, approximately one-third being electedat each regular biennial election. The senior in time of service is chiefjustice for six months until each judge has served in that capacity. Thesupreme court appoints a reporter of the supreme court who is also thecode editor, and a clerk. Both appointments are for four years.
Attorney General—The constitution also provides for an attorney gen-eral who is elected at the regular biennial election for a term of twoyears. He represents the state in legal matters, gives advice to stateofficers, and has, in addition, some administrative functions.
Judicial Districts—The State of Iowa is divided by law into twenty-one judicial districts, composed of from one to nine counties. Each dis-trict elects from two to six judges, there being at present sixty-ninedistrict judges in the state. One of the district judges presides overthe district court sessions in each county. A county attorney and aclerk of the court are elected by the voters in each county.
Inferior Courts—The General Assembly has provided also for otherinferior ourts. Each township is authorized to elect two justices ofthe peace who hear cases involving minor offenses and hold preliminary
216 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
hearings on more serious charges. Municipal courts, superior courts,police courts and mayors' courts are authorized in cities and townsunder various restrictions. Municipal courts are optional in cities havinga population of five thousand or more and superior courts in cities withfour thousand or over. Both municipal and superior court judges areelected for four-year terms.
Municipal Courts—If a city of the first class has neither a municipalnor a superior court, the council shall appoint a police judge in com-mission governed and city manager cities and may provide for the elec-tion of a police judge in such cities under the general law. In allmunicipalities having none of these special courts, the mayor acts as thepolice judge.
Jury Trials—Jury trials are the rule for trials of serious cases, butunder certain conditions may be waived or denied. Petit juries consistof twelve persons who must be "electors," except in some courts of re-stricted jurisdiction where the number of jurors may be six persons.
Local Government in IowaCounty Officials—The State of Iowa is divided into ninety-nine counties,
the boundaries of which may not be changed unless the change is ap-proved by the voters of each county concerned. A board of supervisorsconsisting of three, five or seven members is the chief administrativeagency in the county. They appoint a county engineer. In addition,an auditor, who is the clerk of the board of supervisors, a sheriff, countyattorney, recorder, treasurer, coroner and clerk of the district courtare elected biennially by the voters. A county superintendent of schoolsis chosen every three years by a convention composed of representativesof the school districts.
Local Functions—The Iowa county is a quasi-political corporationwhich collects municipal, school, county and state taxes, enforces statelaws, has charge of poor relief and certain other welfare activities, andshares with the state highway commission the management of the roadsand bridges in the county. Townships, which in earlier days were ef-fective units of local government within the counties, have lost almost alltheir functions, except for the election of justices of the peace in whichmany townships default.
City Government—The laws of Iowa also authorize the incorporationof cities and towns. These municipalities derive their authority fromthe General Assembly and have only the powers specifically granted tothem. Four cities and towns are governed by special charters grantedbefore the adoption of the present constitution which forbids such actsof incorporation. Seven cities have the commission form of government;three have adopted the city manager plan by popular election; and afew others have a city manager by ordinance. Members of the com-mission are elected by the voters. The city manager in cities adoptingthat plan by a popular vote is appointed by a commission.
Municipal Classes—All other municipalities are under the general law.They are classified according to population into cities of the first class,having over 15,000 population; cities of the second class, having from2,000 to 15,000 population; and towns having less than 2,000 population.All these municipalities have the mayor-council form of government, boththe mayor and the members of the council being elected by the votersfor two-year terms. A treasurer, assessor and park commissioners, andin some cities a police, superior or municipal court judge, are also elected.
City Councils—The council is the law-making body in municipal gov-ernment and it is also the chief administrative agency. The mayor pre-sides over the council, although he is not a member, and has the powerto veto acts of the council subject to a two-thirds majority vote over hisveto. He supervises municipal activities and in cities and towns whichdo not have a municipal, superior or police court, he serves as police
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 217
judge. He also appoints certain officers, including the marshal or chief ofpolice, the city health officer, and members of the police and fire board.The city solicitor and clerk, and in some cases the engineer and mem-bers of the zoning board of adjustment are chosen by the council.
TaxationTax Sources—Taxation is probably the most important governmental
power. The present tax system of Iowa is based largely on property,sales, income and corporation taxes, although there are taxes on in-heritance, poll taxes and sales or license taxes on gasoline, cigarettes,beer and chain stores.
Tax Levies—Property is assessed by the county assessors. Assessmentsare subject to revision by local boards of review and by the state taxcommission. The various mill levies for state, county, school and mu-nicipal purposes are computed by the county auditor on the assessedvaluation and the tax money is paid to the county treasurer who dis-tributes it to the proper fund. Levies for county school or municipalpurposes are, in most cases, limited by state law.

Homestead Tax Credit Law. Every home owner in the State of Iowa,who resides upon his homestead six months out of the year, is entitledto a homestead tax credit upon his taxes.
The amount of credit to which he is entitled depends upon the valueof his homestead and the millage rate of credit allowed by the Iowastate tax commission.
No home owner can receive a credit upon his taxes upon any valuein excess of $2,500 and the Iowa state tax commission cannot refund inexcess of 25 mills upon such valuation. In other words, no home ownercan receive in excess of $62.50 refund.
Under this law, a home owner is:(1) One who holds fee simple title to the homestead.(2) A person occupying a homestead as a surviving spouse.
IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER—1949-1950 221
(3) A person occupying property under contract of purchase whereit can be shown that not less than ten per cent of the purchaseprice named in the qontract has been paid and that such contracthas been made a matter of record in the office of the countyrecorder.
(4) A person occupying* a homestead under devise or by operation ofinheritance laws.
(5) A person occupying property under deed which conveys a dividedinterest to other blood relatives or legally adopted children.
Under this homestead tax credit law, a dwelling house is defined asany building which is occupied wholly or in part by the owner as a home.
In rural districts it cannot exceed 40 acres and in towns and cities itcannot exceed a $2,500 valuation.
A homestead may contain one or more contiguous lots or tracts ofground with buildings upon it, which is used in good faith as a homestead.
Home owners desiring to avail themselves of the benefits of this lawmust file application for such tax credit with the assesor or the countyauditor each year between January first and up to and including Julyfirst. This application is for taxes payable in the succeeding year.
Special on Schools: House File No. 224 passed by the 53rd GeneralAssembly is an act appropriating money for general aid to schools. Sec-tion 5 of the act is as follows:
"Sec. 5. The school levy in each of the ensuing bienniums shallbe based upon the school levy of the preceding year reduced by anamount equivalent to the increased state aid to that district pro-vided by this act over and above the amount appropriated by theFifty-second (52nd) General Assembly after reflecting any increaseor decrease in cost of operation caused by: (1) change in enrollment,(2) tuition, (3) number of persons employed, (4) normal repairs,(5) cost of fuel, (6) salary schedule, (7) rents and new items ofexpenditure."What this law really does is to "freeze" school taxes to be certified in
1949 and 1950 for general operating purposes to the levy certified for thesame purposes in the preceding year less the additional general schoolaid appropriated by H. F. 224. This is a mandatory requirement, but theact permits certain adjustments under items 1 to 7 inclusive. Schoolboards should study this law so as to be able to make out their budgetsmore accurately.

406 IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTERS—1949-1950
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF IOWA
INTRODUCTION
Iowa was organized as a separate Territory by an act of Congress approved on June12, 1838, but it was not until 1844 that steps were taken to secure admission into theUnion. A constitutional convention met at Iowa City in October, 1844. The Constitutiondrafted by this convention was twice submitted to the voters of the Territory of Iowaand twice rejected by them, largely because of dissatisfaction with the boundaries of theproposed State.
A second constitutional convention met at Iowa City in May, 1846. The Constitutiondrafted by this convention was ratified by a majority of 456 votes at an election heldon August 3, 1846, and Iowa was admitted as a State on December 28, 1846.
The Constitution of 1846, however, contained a number of provisions which werefound to be unsatisfactory in practice. One of these was the prohibition of bankinginstitutions. As a result of this dissatisfaction, the legislature in 1855 provided for anelection on the question of calling a convention to revise or amend the Constitution of1846. The vote was 32,390 for a convention and 14,162 against a convention. Delegateswere elected on November 4, 1856, and the convention met at Iowa City on January 19,1857.
The delegates drafted a new constitution which was submitted to the people at anelection held on August 3, 1857, and ratified by a vote of 40,311 to 38,681. This Consti-tution went into effect by proclamation of the governor on Septemer 3, 1857.
The Constitution of 1857 has, since that time, remained the fundamental law of theState of Iowa; but it has been amended a number of times.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE*
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolvethe political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among thePowers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and ofNature's God entitle them* a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires thatthey should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.—We hold these truthsto be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creatorwith certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit ofHappiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, derivingtheir just powers from the consent of the governed.—That whenever any Form of Gov-ernment becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter orto abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principlesand organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effecttheir Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long es-tablished should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly allexperience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suffer -able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Objectevinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is theirduty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies ; and such is now the necessitywhich constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of thepresent King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all havingin direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyrrany over these States. To prove this,let Facts be submitted to a candid world.—He has refused his Assent to Laws, the mostwholesome and necessary for the public good.—He has forbidden his Governors to passLaws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation tillhis Assent should be obtained ; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attendto them.—He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districtsof people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legis-lature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.—He has called togetherlegislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository oftheir Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with hismeasures.—He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manlyfirmness his invasions on the rights of the people.—He has refused for a long time, aftersuch dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ; whereby the Legislative powers, incapableof Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the Stateremaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, andconvulsions from within.—He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ;for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners ; refusing to passothers to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropri-ations of Lands.—He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assentto Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.—He has made Judges dependent on his Willalone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.—He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to barrassour People, and eat out their substance.—He has kept among us, in times of peace,Standing Armies, without the Consent of our legislatures.—He has affected to renderthe Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.—He has combined withothers to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged byour laws; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended Legislation:—For quarteringlarge bodies of armed troops among us:—For protecting them, by a mock Trial, fromPunishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of theseStates:—For cutting off our Trade with aU parts of the world:—For imposing taxeson us without our Consent:—For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trialby Jury:—For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses:—Forabolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishingtherein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it atonce an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into theseColonies:—For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and alter-ing fundamentally the Forms of our Government:—For suspending our own Legis-latures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us ^ in all caseswhatsoever.—He had abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protectionand waging War against us.—He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt ourtowns, and destroyed the lives of our people.—He is at this time transporting largearmies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny,already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the mostbarbirous aeres, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.—He has constrainedour fellow Citizens taken captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country,to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by theirHands.—He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bringon the inhaDitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule ofwarfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In everystage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms:Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose

character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be theruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attention to our Brittish brethren.We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend anunwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of ouremigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanim-ity, and we have cpnjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow theseusurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. Theytoo have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we holdthe rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.—
W E , THEREFORE, the REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GeneralCongress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude ofour intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies,solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to beFREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES ; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the BritishCrown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain,is and ought to be totally dissolved ; and that as Free and Independent States, they havefull Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and todo all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.—And for thesupport of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
