Representative w. W. Bardwell, of
Hennepin, is after the wildcat gas, oil
and mining companies which have done
so thriving business in Minnesota in
recent years. A bill, aimed at gas and oil
companies, passed the house two years
ago, but met death in the senate. Mr..
.Bardwell has included the salted mine
with the gas and oil group in his meas
.ure to be introduced at this session.
and says that he believes a different
sentiment exists in the senate towards
his bill than two years ago.
The bill, which will be introduced in
the house today, requires oil, gas and
mining companies offering their stock
for sale in Minnesota to first file a
statement with the secretary of state.
ment showing the condition and 1oca-
tion of the well or mine, the amount of
work done and the condition of the
plant and machinery. The certificate
must be subscribed to by the directors
and officers. An annual statement OF
the financial and industrial condition
of the property must be filed by Dec
81 of each year for all companies COM
ing within the provisions of the act.
and Minnesota companies must file
their statements upon the call of the
secretary of state.
The penalty for nom performance OF
the provision forbidding the sale OF
stocks of companies not complying with
the act is 500. For filing a false state
ment $500 is the penalty, and for fail
ure to report on the request of the Sec
retary of state $500 will be exacted.
False swearing in the statements is
made perjury
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been taken away from investors
by these wildcat companies" said Mr..
Bardwell yesterday, "and for the most
part they are people of the poorer class
who can least of all afford to lose their
savings. The attraction of immense
profits, which materialize only in the
prospectus, is more than they can

IOWA RAILROADS.

In its annual report the Iowa rail-
way commission deals with a subject
near to the hearts of travelling men
and residents along the branch lines
of railroad systems in Iowa. The policy
Of neglect practiced by Iowa railway
managers against these lines is severe
ly criticised by the commission and
attention given inadequate and unsan-
itary depots. condition of tracks and
neglect to furnish coaches to accom-
modate travel at holiday times. Some
improvement is noted, but the COM
mission insists that it's recommends
tons for branch lines shall be given
attention.
All those who have travelled widely
in Iowa will confirm the allegations
made by the commissioners. Certain
branch lines of some systems are SO
neglected as to be positively danger
ous Old rails worn out on main lines,
old ties transferred, dirty, dusty and
ANTICIPATED coaches, and a train serv-
ice apparently calculated to give the
least possible satisfaction to travellers
and shippers, have long been causes
of annoyance and loss to those whose
locality or business make them depend
ent on the branch lines. And this in
the face of the fact that some of these
neglected branches have been among
the best paying mileage of the systems.
There will be general thankfulness
over the insistence of the commission
on improvement of these conditions.
The net earnings of Iowa railroads
for the past year amounts in round
numbers to $15,OO0,O00, nearly mill
ion and half less than in the previous
year. Net earnings per mile, $1,592.
They employed s5,5os persons to whom
they paid $25,32S,102, or an average
wage of $40 per day, an increase Of
seven cents day over the year before.
Ninety employees. twelve passengers
and 113 others were killed and 1,419
employees, POI passengers and 12s 9TH

ALpREn AND poLLNER.

Writing to the Philadelphia Ledger
its Washington correspondent fur
nishes some gossip Of the capital that
will be read with interest In Iowa Ac-
cording to this correspondent:
1t came out today that just before
Senator Aldrich, leader of the OPPOSE
ton to the president, left for New York
to see what. he could do to strengthen
his shattered lines, he read the riot
act to Senator Dolliver. He accused
that statesman of trying to break up
the republican party. and told him he
must stop his foolishness and get in
line. Deliver refused to bulge from
his position, and assured Aldrich that
a bill in line with the presidents rec
concentrations would be passed. This
proceeding on Aldrich's part came on
the heels of his discovery that the
president controlled the Interstate
commerce committee of the senate.
This revelation caused Aldrich to adj
minister tie third degree" to Dolliver,
while on Flldns 1t had the effect of
making him sue for peace.
The spectacle of Aldrich. the head
and front of corporate domination In
the senate, administering the third
degree" to the Junior Iowa senator is
one at once displeasing and gratifying
to the people of the state, That Aid
rich should assume from rotten
borough to dictate line of action to
a senator from a magnificent COM
monwealth like Iowa. is sufficiently in
sulting. bit it shows that Dolliver is
with the people on the overshadowing
question of rate regulation. Men are
known as much by the enemies they
make as By their friends. There has
been an indefinite uneasiness over
Dolliver that was largely allayed when

he came boldly out in support Of the
president. Now that Aldrich has abus-
ed him there will be a wider renewal
Of confidence. Men at whom senators
of the Aldrich type rage can not be
far wrong.
Senator Aldrich is a standpatter of
the sort from Standpatville. His Iowa
friends and followers can get such
comfort as they may out of the inter-
view between him and the Iowa SEN
