Bill Aimed Against Slot Machines Has Chance To Pass
DES MOINES Chance for a bill designed to ban the slot machine menace in Iowa appears bright in the house of representatives as a result of a test vote Saturday. With only 69 of the 108 members present in a brief session yesterday, the bill was favored 52 to 13. A constitutional majority of 55 is necessary to pass a bill and it was declared defeated, but permission was given the author Rep. L. C. Bowers to call the measure before the house again Monday and it is expected that when the rest of the members are present it will receive the necessary majority. Bowers lists slot machines and similar devices as gambling equipment subject to confiscation without proof they are being used for gambling. He said they are one-armed bandits and are teaching our young people the gambling urge. Rep. Leo A. Hoegh moved to amend, arguing pin ball and duck shooting machines are games of skill and should not be banned, while Rep. J. P. Gallagher contended all such machines can be used for gambling and warned they keep alive the gambling instinct.
