will soon be turning out decisions. An
interesting suit was filed yesterday in
which 1t is sought to have declared un-
constitutional one Of the laws of the
Thirtieth general assembly. This is
one wherein cities of the second class
were allowed to incur indebtedness up
to 21a per cent of the actual value of
their property as shown by the last tax
lists. The city of Belle Plaine issued
bonds In 100000 to buy water works.
and the purchasers refused to complete
the deal on the ground that the bond
issue was illegal. The firm claims that
the city cannot compute its debt on the
actual value, but what was really
meant by the legislature was taxable

illegal. But the law says actual val

President Of the National Association

Thoughtful Address at Convention
- Favors Governmental Control Not

against the government ownership Of
railroads, saying that a political party
with patronage afforded by railroads
and appointment of over a million EN- :
ployes could not only perpetuate Itself
In power. but in a few years could
build monarchy, and our now boast
ed free institutions would become the
laughing stock OF the nations. Gov

justly administered, and not govern

mind solution Of the problem OF rail-
road combinations. "Let the railroads
combine" the Speaker continued, "and
combine until every mile is under one
vast system and have sufficient con-
lfidence in our government to believe
that under proper supervision these
combinations could be made blessing
instead of a curse to our nation. IT
might also be said with some degree
Of truth that IL out state and national
leaders in politics would cease their
wild and unmeaning rantings against
the railroads, combines and trusts and
their appeals to passions and preju-
dices of the great masses of people,
arousing bitter partisan feelings in the
minds of the unthinking public for the
upbuilding of their own or their partY's
political fortunes and turn their at
tention to the serious and conscientious
study of this question along broad and
stntesmanlike lines, remedy would
soon be found that would conserve
the interests Of public and railroads
