A RAILROAD ISSUE ARISING.

Developments Of the past few days
clearly proclaim the birth Of a new
issue. In few months now politics
will revolve about the question Of rail-
road freight rates. The Iowa Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association rails
ed the issue locally during the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, but their out
cry did not attract great attention.
Also there has been before congress for
some time O bill to clothe the inter-
state commerce commission with pow
er to make rates, but only recently has
It's purposes gained publicity. The is
sue Is growing. Only short time ago
the Livestock Shippers Association
demanded to know OF Senator Dolliver
and Congressman Hepburn why they
were opposing the proposed bill in con-
gress. Dolliver promptly replied that
he was not opposing 1t, that he was
still open to conviction. Hepburn,
reasonably, sure Of his election, ignored
the question. But on October 20 last
Ex-Governor Larrabee, OF Iowa, deliv-
cred an address at st. Louis in which
he deplored the power Of a few selfish
country and determine the rates Of
tax that was nearly three times the
burden as are all revenues received by
the federal government. This man, who
holds the confidence Of politicians and
business men alike in Iowa, said that
the railroads Of the country are con-
oughly organized, that these men cas-
lily agree upon measures to increase
rates, that they endeavor continuously
to control municipal, state and national
governments, that they have their at
torneys in every county in the United
States, who bride with passes and
transportation favors. that they make
campaign contributions sometimes as
high as $4,000 in single congressional
district. It was Ex-Governor Larrabee
who said these things, and he called
for the government to control railroad
rates as it now controls rates of in
terest.
Another republican governor, the
states present executive, told an audi
ence OF business men Tuesday that
competition in the railroad business
was fast disappearing and that gross
Inequalities in rajlroad rates as be-
tween Individuals ara as between 10
calities did exih. He, too, called for
government control of railroad rates.
Governor Cumrnins did not say so, but
the people OF Iowa know full well how
he has had reaeon to feel the pres

county and passes In the pockets of
men Of influence as we'll as campaign

1t Will be two years at least before
we have another election. but in that
time there will be tilt in congress
between the representatives of the
people and those OF the special inter-
ests. There may even be a selection

According to the Cedar Rapids Gaz-

of congress is to knock out the freight
discrimination against Iowa. Those
who do not feel sufficiently strong to
aid with the work should vacate their
places SO that no interruption may be
charged to them"
Speaking of the proposed combina-
ton Of all railroad lines the Dubuque
Telegraph foresees that Immediately
the combination is effected. the rail-
roads will be interested In holding up
present, or forming new high freight
schedules. This will bring them In
conflict with the shippers who will be
powerless to secure redress against the
monopoly. The logical outcome Of the
inevitable dissatisfaction will be ap-

The demonstration was unlike any

the convention proceedings. It's i'm

delegation entered the Coliseum. and.
led by two senator's Fairbanks and
Beveridge, proceeded down the aisle to
their seats near the stage.
The ovation given Senator Fairbanks
was greater than was received by any
of his distinguished colleagues. To-
days proceedings Afforded no oppor-

the names of favorite sons, whose am
