Des Moines. Sept. 26.-The railroad
commission is in receipt of complaints
about the scarcity of cars The com
plants are from all parts of the state.
They are against all of the railroads.
The commission has been in CORE
spondence with all of the roads relating
to the probable scarcity of cars in an
ticipation of these complaints and the
roads insist in their replies that they
are pushed to the utmost limits OF
their capacity. The scarcity appears to
be universal and not confined to iocali-
ties. The roads say that the demand is
unprecedented. In former years from
time to time-except in the hard demo-
cratic times-the complaints on account
of scarcity We're numerous, but the
roads say that the demand this year
exceeds anything of former years.

Anti-Pass Move in Wisconsin.

Madison. Wis, Jan. 1S.-The feature
of yesterdays session of the legislature
was the reading of Governor Scofield' s
biennial message. 1t was sent to both
houses. and on account OF the COVER
nor's iN-health was read by the clerks
instead of by the governor himself. The
features of the message were the rec
concentrations for anti-pass legislation
and higher taxes on railway and in
surance companies. In addition to the
reading of message the only thing OF
interest at the session was the intro
dCction by Senator Eaton, of Milwau-
kee, of an anti-pass measure, which
was a surprise. In Eatons bill is
very sweeping measure. prohibiting not
only the use of passes, but of franks OF
