New Electrical Turntable Ordered to
Accommodate Largest Engine ON
System.
NEW TIN SHOP AND SEWERS,
$4,000

Forty-four thousand dollars repre-
sents few of the improvements for
Paducah terminals of the Illinois
Central road for 1907, and when the
weather opens up for work they will
be started. Means to take care of
these improvements have been pro-
vided for in the appropriation esti-
mates, and the facilities of the shops
here will be greatly increased when
the work is completed.
First the sewerage improvements
are considered. The Illinois Central
had for two years contemplated a
new sanitary wash room for en-
ployes at the shops. All that was
lacking was sewer connections. In
stead OF fighting the No. 2 sewerage
system, which heaps an expense of
$4,000 on the road. officials accept
the estimates.

New Turntable.

The electrical turntable is expected
in January. 1t will cost about $780,
600 and will be located where the old
table now stands. This improvement
was necessltated by the assignment OF
the big $50 class engines, the heav-
lest on the system to this district.
The dimensions of the new turntable
will be rs by 10 feet. The present
one is but 60 feet long.
The new tin shop was ordered this
year but will not be built until 1907.
1t will be of rock and will cost about
sc 900. New machinery will be in
stalled, this coming in the general
appropriation of machinery for the
Paducah shops.
The total cost of new machinery to
replace that which is old and worn
out, viii be about $4,000. 1t will
be shipped as soon as the machine
companies can turn it out.

railroad rate regulation is one of the
most notable victories achieved against
corporate power.
Governor Cummins and the Republicans
of Iowa who are with the president de-
serve great credit for their part in the
reform.
The allied corporation and democratic
forces engaged in fighting Governor Cum
Minis and the Republican ticket did every
thing in their power to discredit the pres
ident and to checkmate the movement for
effective rate regulation. They are to-
day making their fight for the same rea-
sons that they made their fight last year.
The victory for rate regulation is not
wholly won; 1t will not be a complete
victory until the people have testified
to their appreciation of the work of the
men who have been foremost in the
movement and condemn by their votes
the men who threw every possible OBJ
stacle in the way of effective rate regu-
lation.

How Roads Tax Iowa.

The subject Of corporation control is of
such vast magnitude when considered
from a national point of view that we
can better comprehend it If we consider
1t from the Iowa standpoint. We have
1907 miles of railroad in this state and
their gross receipts last year were $62,-
7S,5OO, an increase of $,3S6,6S2 over the
preceding year. Their net earnings were
SIS, 2G, 500, an increase of S3,916,225 over
1900 Gross receipts have increased $25,-
l3O,O08 since 1856, or over &c per cent, while
mileage increased only 10 per cent.
The population of the state according
to the state census of 1895, was 2,210,050
and shows that gross receipts were equal
to rs. 40 for every person in the state, or
equal to $l42 for each family of five per-
sons, or equal to I.75 per acre for all Of
the state This is about nine times as
much per capita as is collected by the
United states government for customs du-
ties. This comparison enables US to I'M
derstand the importance and necessities
for government control, and the magni-
tude of the stakes that railroad manipu-
lators are contending for. 1t can readily
permitted to have unlimited power Of tax
alton in their hands and can increase
their income In Iowa more than 5000, 900
per annum, they can we'll afford to give
half a million dollars worth of free trans
portation for the purpose Of creating pub
lie sentiment in their favor, and also can
afford to spend 900 in a campaign to
control the politics of the state as they
nave uOllS lIliS year. we see IHaI with
all of this large expenditure for bribery
purposes, there is still left q large bal
ance of trade in their favor. You remem-
Der that Senator Dolliver called attention
In the United States senate, of the eX-
penditures last year of over 81, 600, coo by
the railroads for the purpose of defeating
the legislation recommended by President
Roosevelt. 1t Is a matter of general no.
toriety that our national and state gov
ernments have fallen much under corpo-
ration domination and that the corpora
ton are, expending extravagant sums of
money in their efforts to control the leg
islatiVe, judicial and executive branches
Of the government It is expected that
those who participate In the spoils and
subsidies will deny this. Do not forget
this when you read the canned articles
and editorials in the newspapers and
magazines. Corporations have no physi-
cal bodies to be punished, no soul to be
damned, are not permitted to vote, and
should not be allowed to control the votes
of others. Their political representatives
are masters of intrigue. They understand
well the force of rewards and punish
ments. They not only distribute large
sums Of money but they give free passes
and kindred brides to legislators, Judges
and other high public officers and the
pauper ticket to the preacher, while they
dictate the distribution of public patron
age among the politicians. Woe be to the
man in political life who incurs their dis
pleasure.

ernor Cummins replied in q letter in
which he told some plain truths about
the attitude of EllSns and his corporation
associates in congress, and he exposed
how they had tried to defeat all legis-
lation favorable to the farmers and ship
pers. John NJ. Stahl, president of the
Farmers National congress, in behalf of
the American farmers, wrote to Governor
Cummins as follows at that time:
"I cannot refrain from thanking you
for your open letter to Senator Elkins.
You can rest assured that nine-tenths of
the farmers of the great middle west
are with you in this matter. If you are
not careful they will be talking of you
for president before long"

The Lobbyist an Evil.

At this point ] must be permitted to re-
fer specifically to one phase of corporate
interference that ought speedily to disap-
pear under the righteous indignation OF
honest men. The professional lobbyist
has, l regret TO say, become one of the
features of legislative assemblies: he has
become a stencil IN the nostrils OF de-
cent community; and he ought to be
driven with the lash of scorn, pursued
by the penalties Of the law from the
precincts Of every legislative body in the
republic. DO not understand me to sug-
gest that the halls Of legislation should
be inaccessible to either the individual or
the corporation. The right of petition Is
as sacred as 1t Is venerable; and through
It the wants, objections, or complaints IF
all who are interested in public affair."
should be made known with absolute
freedom; not only so, but the right to a
fair and impartial hearing before appro-
pirate committees should be sedulously
preserved. The lobbyist however, who
is for anything or against anything for
hire, whose mission 1t Is to promote one
measure or defeat another. who haunts
the chambers of legislation and taints
its atmosphere with his corrupt designs,
who sends for members for interviews in
the cloak room, who carries a tally sheet
and watches the roll call, who shadows
the members at their homes and hotels
injecting at all hours and all places his
poison into the public service, Is a GRIM
iEal whose approach is an insult, and to
whom the doors of the capitol should new
er swing inward

Danger in the Future.

II we encourage such methods as were
resorted to by the corporation forces dur
ing the recent campaign We may expect
before long to have about the same po-
litical conditions here that now exist In
Cuba. If these men are to control our
government with unrestricted powers and
the Industries of this country as they
have during the last ten years, how long
will 1t be before we are left with only IS
per cent of our earnings as the rank and
revolution of 1889? You may not be In
clined to heed this warning for people
are not apt to learn wisdom when en-
joying great prosperity, but when adver-
to profit by the lessons of history.
Governor Cumnins recommended the
last general assembly to enact a primary
election law for the state. Does not the
experience of this year convince nearly
every one of the wisdom of the recon-
mendaton?
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1906-10-25
Ticket a Strong One.

The republican ticket is an exceptionally
good one. Senator Garst has proved HIM
self to be a capable and wise legislator
and Is well fitted for the office Of lieu
tenant governor, or any other position
that he may be called upon to fill. Every
other name on the ticket Is worthy of our
confidence. l expect the ticket to be
elected by large majority, and II should
be elected by such an overwhelming ma
jority that the corporations will under
stand that 1t means that they must keep
out of politics in this state, and attend
to their legitimate business.
The democrats have nominated q state
ticket of most excellent men and II the
corporations had expended a quarter of a
million of dollars to defeat any one Of
them ! would be In favor of having the
republicans join with the democrats and
elect him. We are all members of our
Iowa family and our interests are identi-
cal.
In other states the people are asserting
their independence and are throwing of
corporation rule. In Minnesota the peo-
pie elected Governor Johnson, a democrat,
and at the same election gave President
Roosevelt over l60 600 plurality. In Wis
consin Governor LaFollette was elected
by large majority with the corporations
doing their best to defeat him. In Hi
nois Governor Deneen and In Missouri
Governor Folk were elected with the same
forces against them. Do not let Iowa
be found taking secondary place IN this
movement Iowa should always be found
In the front rank OF every good work.

Efforts To Defeat Him.

Many a man has been defeated for .
public office by railroad influence for q
less offenSe than the smallest or which
Governor Cummlns was guilty, and 1t 10
no wonder that orders went out from
Wall street to their political henchmen in
Iowa that this man must be defeated for
denomination at all hazards, by fair
means or foul. We have never before
seen in Iowa anything to be compared
with the depraved, corrupt and shameless
methods resorted to by them in the late
campaign.
For lack of legitimate grounds for op-
posing him, stories are told of his in
creaslng the taxes of the people, and ex-
travagant expenditures of the public
funds, both of which disappear like a
snowflake in the month of June when the
truth is told. Governor Cummins did nos
go into this contest blindly or willingly.
He realized that all of the railroad cor
poration influences of the state, with un-
limited funds at their command, would
be brought into requisition in an attempt
term, feeling that he could not afford to
make the sacrifice He earnestly urged
others for the nomination, but as war had
been declared against him by the corpora
ton managers. the general voice OF the
people from all parts of the state de-
manded that he must lead the forces and
continue the work that he had so well
begun. One of less courage would have
shrunk from the task, but duty has been
his guiding angel in his official work.
of us, who desires to have the state gov
erned by the people instead of the cor
porations, to give Governor CumminS our
hearty support regardless of party affili-
atoms. Unless we stand by a public Of
