From a stan Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Feb. 7.-(special.)-The
time Of the state senate was largely taken
up today with discussion of the Blanch-
ard trolley line bill, which is designed
to enable the people to vote tax aid for
rural electric railroads, as we'll as for
steam railroads of the state. The bill came
up before. but there was not a full at
tendance and an amendment was intro
duced which 1t was desired to consider
further. This amendment, which was by
Senator Arthaud, would defeat the purpose
OF the bill. in that 1t provided for the re-
peal Of the act which It was intended to
amend, thus doing away with all tax aid
for railroads in Iowa
When the matter came up today, Senator
Arthaud defended his amendment and con-
tended strongly that there is now no longer
any excuse for voting tax aid for rail-
roads, whether steam roads or electric
roads. He declared that while it was not
true that voters we're corrupt in vot-
ing tax aid for railroads 1t was the COR
p~oration money back OF the organizations
Of promoters that made taxes possible. He
said he believed 95 per cent OF the people
in his Fart Of the state would favor abol-
ishing all tax aid, and so per cent of the
people of the state were for the repeal Of
the entire law.

New school for the Deaf.

Senator Crawford of Dubuque introduced
a bill to provide for an eastern school for
the leaf, to be located somewhere In east
ern Iowa. 1t provides for a commission Of
five to locate and for an appropriation Of
S1OO, 900 therefor, also $3.50 for support
for two years. This is the measure planned
by Prof. French, who runs a private school
for the deaf at Dubuque, and who last
summer secured petitions in a large number
OF c~ounties in northern Iowa, asking for the
establishment of such a school, on the
ground that the school at Council Bluffs
is inaccessible to many students. At the
meeting Of the state association OF deaf
persons later in the year the movement
was condemned. and it had been supposed
the measure would not be presented.

FavOrs Parallel Railways.

cOulenueu tndt Dy ehcOuraBlnB the DullulnB
Of trolley lines paralleling the steam roads
there would be competition in service and
rates and that the proposal was not for the
benefit of the large towns. The bill is
really in the interest of the proposed line
from Oskaloosa north and south, but would
affect many other proposals.
Senator Junkin declared that every
trunk line in the state would be glad to
get rid Of the statute which permits the
voting of tax aid. He referred to Cass
county, where there is no competition, but
the building of a trolley line north or south
would give competition. In his own county,
Montgomery, there is but one railroad to
the county seat and no competition, but
electric lines built north or south would
afford relief from a monopoly. This was
why the statute should be extended to
electric roads and put them on a footing
with steam roads.
On a point Of order the amendment was
declared out Of order. Senator Porter then
offered another amendment to the effect
that in case the tax aid is granted and
those who give the taxes receive stock
therefor. as Is now provided by law, and
the company afterward waters its stock,
those who have paid cash for their stock
shall receive a pro rata proportion of the
| additional stock which has been issued.
This would prevent the freezing out of
the small stockholders by rendering their
stock worthless, as has been done in many
instances in Iowa. The amendment was
satisfactory to Senator Blanchard, but the
senate desired 20 take further time to con-
slider it and the whole was referred back
to the railroad committee. ssA

As an indication that the Aroostook

nearly &c large as usual, IL Is noticed
that the shipments over the Rangnr &

very small Last years crop was Csti
mated at 100000 bushels. Prices were
good and the farmers made lot of
money. A month or more ago Pressure
Isle men estimated this years crop at
100000 bushels. Since then it has been
learned that in some parts of the coun-
ty dry rot has destroyed more potatoes
than was at first thought, so probably
the crop of marketable potatoes will
not much exceed 100000 bushels.
