The Corporation Alliance.
The campaign being conducted under
the auspices of Miller, Marsh and thedr
associates Is for the purpose of defeating
Governor Cummins, who did much to cre-
ate sentiment in Iowa favorable to rate
regulation, to defeat Senator Dolliver.
who was a powerful factor in the pas
sage of the bill. and to cause the state
of Iowa to render a political verdict at
the polls such as will discourage all true
friends of proper reform in rate regula-
tion. The committee at the head OF VIII ch
is Mr.. Miller, delegate to the railroad
rump convention, is making use of all
possible material intended to bring into
discredt and to defeat the men of Iowa
who backed up President Roosevelt.
At the same time the political commit
tee which was. organized under the direc-
ton of the great railroad rate bureau
is still doing business in Iowa, and is en-
gagged today in the distribution OF htera-
ture which was printed prior to the recent
republican state convention, which was
paid for by railroad money and which
is now being distributed in the state of
Iowa under the auspices of the same cor
poration agents and hirelings.
Corporation Retention.
This so-called democratic committee Is
circulating a booklet, under the guise OF
being a campaign handbook, which was
prepared largely by the employees OF the
railroad political bureau for the purpose
of creating prejudice against republican
administration in Iowa. Some OF these
same employees of the railroad political
bureau are at work under direction OF
tho democratic committee. Candidate
Porter is accompanied on his speaking
tour Of the state by an employe OF this
same railroad political committee, and the
newspapers OF the state willing to lend
their Influence to the overthrow OF re-
publicanism In Iowa. receive regularly.
with charges all prepaid, the most extrav-
agant dispatches relating to the meetings
of Candidate Porter.
In short, there is today the closest al
lance between the democratic commit
tee and the committee organized by ths
corporation lobbyists. The men who are
backing the Porter candidacy did their
part last year toward effectlng defeat OF
the Roosevelt programme for rate regula-
ton; this year the corporations interested
in the defeat of rate regulation are re-
turning the compliment by helping the
Porter candidacy.
Elkins In the Game.
When the campaign opened for renomi-
nation Of Governor Cummins last winter
the railroads induced one Of their trusted
lieutenants at Washington, the West Vir-
Sinia senator, to undertake the task OF
discre6itng Governor Cummins at homo.
Elkins wrote letter which was intend

The Paramount Issue.

But as important as this tariff question
is, there is another question that STANDS
vastly more in need Of our attention at
the present time, and that Is, shall the
people or the corporations control our
government? The United States collected
for the year ending June 30. 1906 revenues
from all sources, s697 101 .269 OF this sum
$261, ,79S, ,S56 was collected from customs du-
ties. During the same year the railroads
collected from the people S2,073, 1926, or
just about eight times as much as was
collected by the United States government
under the tariff laws. The total net rev.
enues Of the railroads was $S04. .229, ,563 for
the year, or Sl07. .294 more than the
total revenues of the national govern
ment. While the mileage Of the railroads
had increased since 1888 only 80 per cent,
their gross earnings increased over 1l5
per cent, and their net earnings over 12S
per cent. These statistics show that the
taxes collected by our general govern
ment are small as compared with the
taxes collected by the railroad companies.
The Interstate commerce law was enacted
in 1887. It's purpose was to correct abuses
and place restrictions upon rates OF the
railroads The reasonable and conscien-
tious railroad managers welcomed this
law and gave 1t their support and for

make great stir in France on account
OF the sidellghts thrown upon German

tho gates of Berlin to the victorious
French army. the newspapers here are
filled with articles on the subject. The
liam's determination for Diminishing
Prince Bismark for counsellng infidel-
ity to Germany's ally, Austria, was
highly honorable to the emperor, but
nevestheless entailed grave consequence

FATAL STREETCAR
ACCIDENT IN.L0S ANGELES

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. Radioactive
brakes on a streetcar on the Brooklyn
avenue and Southern depot line early
today caused an accident In which En-
gene Peronar was killed outright and
~ others were seriously injured,
four of whom will probably die.
The car plunged down steep hill
al terrific speed, dashed into a tele-
graph pole, which ripped off one Of the
platforms crowded with men and
women. and then turned over. Several
were pinned beneath the overturned
car.
The accident occurred at 6;55 o'clock
at the intersection Of Macy, Pleasant
and Bridge streets. At the top Of the
hill on Macy street before the car had
reached the slight turn which carries
It to Bridge street. where II crosses a
high viaduct, the motorman discover.
ed that something was wrong with the
brakes. He attempted TO operate the
handbrakes but the car had gained
such Roadway that 1t was too late.
Just as II struck the curve II left the
track and shot down Bridge street. Its
course carried Il into a telegraph pole
at the edge OF the sidewalk Just be-
You'd the sharp point where Macy and
Bridge streets run together. The car
lurched over on one side and the tel
egraph pole tore off the platform.
There were "A passengers on the car
at the time OF the accident. They were
mostly laboring people on their way to
work. A. Butler, the conductor, was on
the inside of the car at the time, and
escaped without q scratch. Motorman
Bowders was slightly hurt when the
car left the tracks and overturned. II
was stated that he was new employe,
not entirely familiar with the brake
system OF the car. He first applied the
air when the car started down tho
grade, but II failed to work As tho
car gained Roadway he reversed tho
current, but the trolley flew of. leav-
ing the car without power. Assisted
by several passengers the handbrakes
were used. but they proved entirely in
effective. Several passengers. whose
names were not learned, received mi
nor injuries.

SCHOOLING FOR BOYS.

The question OF finding some way
of providing schooling for the boys
In the Morris home has become quite a
serious problem with the Judge OF the
Juvenile court as the city council so
far has failed to furnish the necessary
funds with which to employ teacher
for the boys committed TO the home by
the Juvenile court and the board of
education has not needed the appeal Of
the court for teacher from the city
schools.

oided that he will send them TO the
