Trouble In Macedonia.

Salonica, European Turkey, Nov. %.
Snow has fallen heavily thruout the
Macedonia and hinders operations of
troops, sent against the Greek bands
entrenched southwest of Vodena,

bands of murderous Christians both
Greek and Bulgarian, each of whom is
systematically trying to weed out the
most prominent adherents of others.
Murders are terribly frequent in Sa-
lonica itself and are perpetrated with
impunity.

made very plain j, he lad taken a

with the intentio 2 max ng the fight
until victory. re Is no doubt OF
his sincerity ant. arnestr ess.
There is a genuine demand out a.
mong the plain people for something
to be accompl' shed and that very soon
along the line indicated. For instance
S. X. Way, of Kossuth county, whose
BUSINESS calls him into contact with
farmers all over the northern part Of
the state, said of the speech of the
governor at Dubuque:
II am enthusiastically for the gov
ernors proposition. He is right and
he is in line with what the people
want. l know there is no one thing
which will more readily be backed up
by the people than this movement to
have sorne regulation OF interstate
freight rates Every year the farm
ers and merchants see more plainly
that something must be done and they
believe that the time is right for some
action"
Another phase of the same question
has been suggested. 1t is that the law
which is in force in some eastern
states be applied in Iowa of allowing
no construction of competing lines Of
railroads without the apr roval of the
board Of railroad commits sioners after
investigation and hearing. The
building of railroads may be overdone.
1t may be continued until 1t becomes
burden on the people. The, courts
have held that investors in railroad
property have right to a fair return
on their investments. If too much Is
invested in railroads then rates must
be correspondingly higher than they
should be. For instance, it is now
proposed that line be built from St.
Joseph to Des Moines parallel with the
Great Western and competing with
other roads. There is no reason why
such a road should be built. If it is
built the business done must be divid-
ed and rates must necessarily go up.
Governor LaFollettee, of Wisconsin,
Interviewed in st. Louis said:
Il think the republican party will
address itself to revision of the tar
iff and to the adjustment of transpor-
tation charges on interst ate commerce
thru an enlargement Of The powers of

LIVE STOCK PASSES.
Committee Reports Plan to Do Away
With Their Manipulation.

ssish
The special committee of the West
ern passenger association appointed
to consider safeguards in connection
with the issuance of stockmen's
passes submitted report to the chair
man of the association. With the con-
currence of freight men they decided
to recommend that hereafter stock
men pay their fare when travelling
with stock and when returning home
and be given refund if proof shows
that they are entitled to transporta-
ton. Under the new plan a stockman
will be required to identify himself at
the terminal stock yards before his
return journey and also upon his re-
turn home. The identifications agree
ing, he will promptly be given a refund
for the sum paid for transportation
This scheme, it is said, should do
away with nearly all the manipula-
tion of stockmen's passes. If adopted
a stockman who desires to let some
one else ride who is not entitled to it
will have to put up the full fare, and,
having done SO, will stand small
chance of getting it back on account
of the necessary Identification.
