Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1889-04-25

We see that the election reform bill,
as amended and passed by the Senate
applies only to cities with population
of 5000 or over. If nothing better can
be had, let the bill pass as it is; but it
ought to be made to apply to every
precinct in the State. The country
vote is a clean vote, and it should be
kept clean. We don't believe in await
ing its corruption before adopting pre-
ventive measures. IT'S trite but true
than ''an ounce of prevention is better
than pound of cure"

by corporation Doodle, colonized mig

but these things do not set we'll on the

est country vote to overcome the dis
reputable elements which led it cap
tive last fall, and all will be well. AS
a rule, we do not favor "gerrymander-
ing" but in this instance it becomes
an unquestioned virtue. Anything to

Commission, Senator Kerr could nave
easily stated to the Senate Wnat my
legislative record was on this question.
In 1879 | voted for a, Railroad Com
mission bill introduced by Senator
Dortch, and l may say that L procured
the copy of the Virginia law and gave
it to Mr.. Dortch, which was the oasis
of his bill, and assisted him to pass It,
Tn 1883 | drew and offered the Com
mission bill that passed the senate
and I will further state that my Whole
legislative record will show that l was
not opposed to a Railroad Comlnls,
sion The Alliance did not demand
that kind of a Railroad Commission
law the Legislature should pass-they
onIv demand a Railroad Commission:
AS to the kind of law, they left that
entirely with the Legislature Inc
mower in the Legislature that killed
the bill could have amended it, or
made an entirely new bill. In regard
to a Commission, l believe the one l
had passed the Senate in 1883 would
have brought to light some OF the
abuses complained of, and the Legs
lature could have enacted penal stat,
utes from time to time that would
have protected our citizens to some
degree. But to get the full Protec'so"
that is necessary for their welfare, the
only way is for the General Govern
ment to own every foot of railroad IN
the United States and organize the
transportation department, as sug-
gested in the address, so as to free 1t
from politics. As to proving that L
vas opposed to a Railroad Commits
