imitation, combinations, railroads in pol
itiCs, railroad legislation both State and
national, the rate question, and suggests
appropriate remedies for the wrongs
which exist. No one will question Gov
ernor Larrabee's sincerity or his ability
to write upon this great and important
subject. He has lived in Iowa for nearly
half century and served in the State
Senate for many years before he was
elected Governor. In business his life
has been devoted largely to milling and
manufacturing
He has had an extensive experience
as a shipper and has been directly inter
ested in promoting, building and operat-
ing railways. Hence he speaks from
actual knowledge when he says that
railroads will not serve their purpose
until they become in fact what they are
in theory, highways to be controlled by
the government as thoroughly and ef-
fectually as the common road, the turn
pike and the ferry or the postofice and
the custom house."

problem which is so prominently before
the American people for solution, and
nowhere can so much valuable informa-
tion be found IN such a concise and read
able form as Governor Larrabee has pre-
sented in this volume. By special ar
rangement with the publishers the Ad-
vocate and News is enabled to furnish it
