The dangers incident to passing of new
laws IS always very great and especially is
this true with matters relative to rate
making. Very few persons are competent
to undertake so difficult a task, and as the
legislature Is limited to a siNty-day session.
think 1t improbable, N not impossible, for
them to pass a satisfactory law, and even
II they did, it will require several years

This subject should be considered and
discussed from nonpartisan viewpoint
and by so doing the people may expect
speedy relief. Respectfully,

NEW DIOCESE IN IOWA
Bishop Lenihan of Montana May Be
Transferred to Des Moines.

MARSHALLTOWN. IOWA.-From a high
Catholic authority it is learned that there will
in all probability be new diocese created In
Iowa by Pope Plus X. From the same source
comes the information that Bishop Matthias c.
Lenihan of Great Falls Mont, will be &C.
clesiastical head of this new rand Des Moines
will be it's center.
From the church authorities in Iowa there
has gone to the pope the suggestion and need
of this new diocese, which 1t is asked to be
taken from the Davenport diocese which com
prses the southern part of the state. 1t is
held that the Davenport see is too large anC
the church has grown so that it needs to be
S,hli riled.
