The average man who is rampant
for railway legislation and reform in
transportation methods is as ignorant
of all the complicated problems con-
nected with geographical location,
long hauls. the natural advantages
of municipalities. the law of COM
petition operating between lines of
different mileage, grades and terminal
facilities as the average man is of
how deep the snow gets in Mars during
the winter. The man who is wise
enough to evolve perfect system of
equity from these worse than alebgraic
transportation problems is the man
the railway would be glad to find

can. That paper recalls that last
year much was said about the expense
of holding annual elections but. it
asserts, an election is not drop in

the census every ten years, and that
is ample for every purpose. The state
census ought to be abolished.

Des Moines, Dec. 23.-The Interstate
Commerce Law convention in Chicago
and the very successful attempt made
by the railroads to pack the conven-
ton resulting in bolt and a rump
convention being held in Steinway
Hall under the name of Federal Rate
Regulation Association, has almost
been forgotten but the receipt of a
pamphlet published anonymously,
purporting to show that the rump par
lament contained the greatest num-
Der of delegates and represented the
larger business interests. has again
called attention to the episode. At
the time many delegate was in
weighed into the rump convention be-
cause of Mr. Bacon's seemingly I'M
reasonable and arbitrary ruling not
understanding clearly the purpose of
the boilers movement.
It will be remembered that Bacon's
convention would admit only those who
would endorse and agree to support
the legislation as. outlined in the pres
| ident's last annual message, and to so
amend the law as to give the interstate
commerce commission power where a
given rate has been changed, to pre-
scribe what shall be lawful and prop
er rate to take its place, the ruling OF
the commission to take effect 1mmed-
lately.
The resolutions Of the federal, rump
Isl
gates think just as much of Roosevelt
as anyone, but I'VE are unalterably
opposed to comforting upon the inter-
state commerce commission, or any
| other appointive agency, the power
to prescribe rates"
To prove that this view Of the pres
ident's proposed reform was supported
by the largest representation, some
body has checked up all the delegates
claimed by Bacon, and many pages of
! the pamphlet are taken up with an ex-
| posture Of the errors in his count, then
| follows as proof of the larger attend
ance, complete alphabetical list of the
delegates attending the rump conven-
| ton in Studebaker Hall, with the In
