RAILROADS WILL

Special to The Journal. .
Des Moines, Iowa, April 1.-The railroad
corporations have created stir by the
announcement that they have reached an
agreement to ignore entirely the la.
curing the issuance of passes IT, stock
shippers. This decision, reached by ts.a
traffic managers of the western roads rs
based on the holding that no state las
the right to pass law requiring a rail-
road to give something for nothing.
The stock shippers bill, which is a
compromise reached between the railroads
and the shippers, was passed by the Iowa
senate Thursday afternoon with practical
unanimity. 1t had already passed the
lower body and as it went thru the sem
ate was not materially modified, except to
give shippers forty-eight instead of thirty
six hours to avail themselves of return
passes. ., -s-
Legislators who have been notified OF
the stand taken by the roads express the
belief that the law can be enforced in
Iowa, altho they admit that there is
doubt about the railroads being compelled
to issue passes to stock shippers outside
of Iowa. - ..'--, ...'-

Pettiqrew as a Democrat.

f Mr.. aPettigreW is an example Of the for
mer republicans who, participated in the
theft of the democratic organization Of
South Dakota. In a speech made before
a democratic county convention in Sioux
Falls last week he said it had been four
years since he attended a democratic
sconvention4 and eight years since he joined
the democratic party. z
The facts are that he never participated
in democratic convention until last week
and never declared himself a democrat I'M
til that time. Estima ting from his pub
Ilic declarations he: has been a democrat
,, for less than two weeks 5sa
l.; He admitted much during his adj
dress in the democratic state convention
when he was called to the platform. He
commenced by saying that he believed
this was the first time he had ever adj
dressed a democratic state convention.
His declaration ON theh floor Of the
convention during. the debate on what is
known as the H. H. Smith amendment to
| the report of the committee on reso1u-
lions, proves that his democracy is only
skin deep. 49, sr
