NO MORE gloomy picture of the future
of Iowa railroads could be drawn than
the dismal reports sent out by Commits
sioner Faithorn. Ruin is spelled with
a big black Rail on account of the re-
duction in transportation rates on rail-
roads in the limits of hat state ordered
by the Iowa railroad commissioners.
The object Of this is obvious. 1t is in
tended to depress values of western
securities in the east. Wall street must
work up a statement strong enough to
brighten the commissioners to take a
step backwards. If u general feeling
of distrust and nervousness "a be ex-
cited in investment circles the
people of Iowa themselves, it is
thought, will become frightened
and order the commissioners to re-
yoke or modify the new tariff
sheet. But what are the facts? For
the past few months the railroads of
Iowa have been hammering each other
for the purpose of running each others
business. The slashing of rates has been
going OF regardless OF consequences. But
in all that time no black-eyed bulletin
was sent out warning investors to fight
shy of Iowa railroad securities. A
breathing spell in the midst of these
exhausted gladiators permitted the
Iowa commission to step in and arrange
a schedule which shall stop the demor-
alization of the freight traffic. And
what is the spectacle? The railroads in
the state have combined and turn
fiercely OF the commissioners as their
common enem Y.

TIE decline in the Sherman vote
makes the outlook for the Ohio states
nan ominous. The fact is recalled that
in every national convention of the re-

was an actual contest, except that of
