OF the corporations that own 1T and
control its action. An illustration of
this facility was given last Tuesday
when the following resolution was in
troduced into that assemblase:
Resolved, BY the house Of represen-

senators in congress- be instructed an
our representatives. be requested to
vote for such measures as will give
the interstate commerce commission
larger powers to the end that shippers
may have prompt and adequate relief,
and that rebates be prohibited.
The resolution carried by a vote OF
115 favorable to Il dissenting votes.
1t was the expression of the sentiment
of the legislators and the constituent
cies they should, and for the moment,
did represent.
But mark the sequel. Shortly after
the resolution had carried, almost
unanimously, Philadelphia represent
tative called for a reconsideration of
the vote and his motion to reconsider
carried by a vote of 100 to 81. In less
than an hour the house had voted in
an overwhelming majority to uphold
the presidents policy and stung by the
dog whips of corporate authority had
by a vote of over three to one recalled
the sincere expression of the confidence
of the people of Pennsylvania in the

lature, and the conditions is reveals.

HER BUSY SEASON
TTabor Reacon.1


This is the season of the year when
the country school teacher climbs thru
a mile of snow drifts just after day
light in the morning in order to have
the school house warm by the time the
youngsters get there, and then goes
thru seven or eight hours of mental,
moral and physical struggles with
them, trying to pump some knowledge
into their craniums after which the
mud and dust is to be cleaned out Of
the school room, the coal and wood is
to be carried for the next day and the
fire is to be banked for the night. The
janitor work and other extras are
worth fully Sis n month, and yet some
teachers get only s25 and $50 in all.
But as long as they are willing to
work for it, It's nobody's fault but their
own that they have to do it.

LIFT UP THY VOICE.

1t has been matter of pride for
boast of the distinguished ability of
her representatives in congress. The
positions of influence which they have
held on important committees even to
the speakers chair, has demonstrated
their capacity to "cut some ice' as
legislators. Iowa has an able set of
men, representing it's districts in con-
gress and the T.-R. is not ashamed of
the boasting it has done regarding the
ability of Iowa's delegation, but today
there seems to be something lacking.
The public is clamoring for restora-
ton of authority to the interstate
commerce commission. President
Roosevelt has advised it, Iowa farm
ers are a unit in demanding 1T, manu-
facturers' associations all over the
state are calling for it, the newspapers
are for 1t and no one dares oppose it,
except the attorneys employed to
make out case for the railroads. Yet
with all this, not voice from an Iowa
port of the president and the people,
and the Washington correspondent of
the Boston Herald lists the Iowa dele
cation as among those who, II they
give in to the president at all, will do
so in the spirit of one who must take

Last summer when Mr.. Blythe gained
absolute control of Iowa's delegation in

the Hawlleye state was voted with the
railroad states of Pennsylvania,

swallowed her humiliation because
nothing else could be expected from
Mr.. Blythe. Today it is not surprising
fighting the president and the people,
for he is employed by the railroads,
but where are the Iowa congressman?
With all the ability the Hawkeye state
can control in congress, why is not a

SEEKING REMEDIES FOR POVERTY.

In his recent work on poverty, Mr..
Robert Hunter estimates that not less
than IA per cent and not more than %
per cent of the population of New York
City suffer from poverty, and that
q very large percentage of this power
way from want and hunger. An arti-
Gle by G. p. Brett in the current num-
Der Of the North American Review.
takes up the statement and comments
upon the conditions as an unnecessary
evil, inasmuch as there are within Il
hundred miles of the great city hum
dreds of abandoned farms, thousands
of acres of unproductive land, much of
which affords excellent pasturage, and
will grow excellent hay, while much
will groM corn and other produce on
a small scale. This land would feed,
and feed WE'LL much larger popula-
ton than the men, women and children
who are starving in New York, and 1t
should be utilized for that beneticent
advocates the establishment as de-
partment OF the city government, of
bureau of employment and information
in which can be brought together
those needing employment and oppor-
tunity and those needing their serv
Ices. Mr. Brett says:
"Whethe the task Of making these
waste places feed our present starving
peoples shall be undertaken by band
of philantllropists who will purchase
the lands put colonies on them and
to market, within the reach of the
poor purses of shipper and consumer;
or whether the common people, urged
on by the socialiStic propaganda now
so actively and ably set forth by many
of our younger writer's, and wearying
of our present methods of distribution,
shall confiscate the unused lands and
take over and squeeze the, water out
of the stock and unnecessary expense
out of the management of the railroads.
no one can now forsee; but it seems
probable that we shall, sooner or later,
in one way or another, devise some
means for relieving a restitution who'll
ly unnecessary, and even criminal, in
view of the unused acres of productive
land lying at our DOORS"
However, the task suggested by Mr..
Brett involves much more than the
cost of the deserted farms and that of
the removal of the poverty stricken
city population to them. 1t includes
the evolution of a class that seems
to prefer to starve under the shadow
of the skyscrapers rather than miss
entirely tile excitement and swirl of
the city. 1t is likely that philanthrop-
lists would find plenty of poor city |
families anxious to exchange their OPP
portunities in the city for those Offers
ed by a plot of ground and a COM
Portable shelter in the country. How
a city laborer might succeed in MAX
ing a living on lands which have been
deserted by the eastern farmer, the
keenest, closest and most economical
of agriculturalists, is another story.
