PERKINS SOL DER RECORD

From the fact that Mr.. Perkins rec.

been discredited by some people, we
give the following letter written in re

UNITED IOWA DELEGATION

Those who understand Senator Dol
liyer's attitude in the rate bill contest
will appreciate his anxiety to pass the
unamended Hepburn bill, which in
reality is the bill which he originally
drafted and introduced il the senate.
Senator Dolliver has consented, and
with him Senator Allison, To the a
mendment agreed upon by the president
and presented by Senator Long OF
Kansas. But his view was and is that
the amendment is unnecessary, and
that the bill is stronger without it.
Senator Dolliver believes that con
gress merely puts the interstate com
MERGE commission in its own place
when it confers upon it the power to
fix rates and that the courts should
have only the jurisdiction over the
acts of the commission that they have
over acts of congress. Congress has
power to fix rates. 1t has the right To
confer this power upon commission,
1T lcdSt IL nus llCNCI bCCh hCid W LiC
contrary by the courts. The commits
sion acts for congress, and what il
does is to all intents and purposes an
act of congress.
Senator Dolliver, and Senator ALI
son with him, is making a determined
and consistent fight in the senate.
Congressman Hepburn and the whole
Iowa delegation are with them. The
view they have taken is the only one
that is consistent with commission
that will amount to anything. If the
commission Is made judicial body,
with the regular judicial appeal up
through and to the supreme court, il
might as we'll be abolished: The
courts now have powers enough il
anybody has the patience and thu
money to litigate with the railway
companies. What is wanted is leg
islative tribunal that can act quickly
and with definite authority. That Il

HERRIOTT TURNED DOWN.

The republicans over in Guthrie
County have evidently become tired
of supporting Hon. John Herriott for
public Office, Judging from the way
they turned him down at the County
Convention held there last week. They
did the same thing five years ago,
only they waited and wentto the conVen-
ton at Cedar Rapids where the dele
cation from that county deserted him
just as soon as they saw an oppor-
tunity to get into the Cummins band
wagon This action Of his own
county will practically eliminate Mr..
Herriott from the campaign. This
will bring the contest almost exclusive
~ between Gov. Cummins and Editor
Perkins, with Major Rathbun of Mar
ion to arbitrate the matter and posi-
bly, profit by the result in case neither
of the leaders should get majority,
which is not probable if the major
gets most of his own district.

The Weighton Herd.

From the Register & Farmer we take
the following notice of the fine herd
of Mr.. Weighton: One of the great
herds, of Duroc Jersey hogs and the
finest equipped hog farms is owned by
John Weighton, Audubon, Ia, and
either one would pay any breeder u
trip to see.. Mr.. Weighton bought S.
Z. Model 9th in partnership with +,
T.. Garrett, Lohrville, la. She has a
litter by Proud Advance and in the
litter we noticed one boar pig in par
ticular that if he keeps on coming will
make some one trouble. He is not
the only good one for there are several.
The herd carries the best blood lines
known to the breed, being especially
strong in Onion and Proud Advance,
with strong infusion of lmprover IL. !,
Junior jim, Dandelion, Radiator and
others of equal note. The present
crop of pigs numbers over $50 and
more to follow The herd will be on
exhibition at Des Moines this fall and

But little change was reported Tues
day as regards the situation Occasioned
by the strike at the Edwards mills. As
had been expected John Golden, presi-

in the city for several days.
