in fast enough soon, and then we viii
have am attempted reduction of the pay
of the employees. How many Of the rail-
road employees now have anything to
say in the election of railroad officials
and directorsY With government own
ership, the men conducting the mu-
roads would be elected by the rail-
road employees and their friends.
There are now probably 1900, 600 of
electors in the United States; what
idiocy to say that 500, 900 would CON
troll the government or that civil war
would eusue. The interest of the farm
err and the employees of railroad compau-

The nominal capital of the railroads
of the United States is more than ten
billions and is largely owned iu foreign

The people of Iowa are more in aeed
