SAYS ROADS HAMPER
CUMMINs ANSWERS GILLILAND
RESOLUTION IN MESSAGE.
RAILWAYS FEAR PRIMARY
Governor States That the Avenues of
Commerce Were Interested in
Accomplishing Death of
the Measure.

(Russell Woodard STAFF Correspondent
Des Moines, Ia, March 26.-When
the clerks in the house and senate
commenced reading Gov. Cummins'
message, in answer to the Gilliland
resolution of inquiry respecting the
charge made by the governor in his
letter TO Republicans of Iowa to the
effect that the railroad lobby had been
working against the primary election
bill, every solon in the assembly lis
tened with bated breath, and when it
was over many excitement loving leg
islators were disappointed.
The governor stated that he had not
charged members of the legislature
with being bribed or the railroad lobby
with corruption of the members of the
legislature; nothing he had said could
But he mentioned the truthfulness OF
his charge that the railroads of the
state are interested in defeating real
primliy election legislation, and have
worried against bills pending in the
legislature.
After the message had been read in
both branches of the legislature, Sena-
tor Gilliland, author of the resolution,
which passed both houses, stated that
he believed the incident closed for all
time, at least as far as he was con-
cerned, and those who hoped to expe-
rience a series of sensations which
might be afforded by railroad inves-
tigatioD are doomed to disappointment.

Iowa Two-cent Fare Bill Dead.

Iowa IWO-Ce1lI rare BILL OeaQ.
1t took the railroad committee of the
house Is minutes to kill the two-cent
fare ill, after the hearing at which
p. S. Eustis, passenger traffic man
ager, and other Chicago railroad men
appeared. Eustis said the railroads
could not carry passengers at the rate
of two cents a mile with profit He
said several branch lines were losing
money on passenger traffic. He men
toned the Ohio two-cent rate law,
passed recently, and added: You will
hear, think, that this has been an
unfortunate step for Ohio" He denied
that it was the commercial travelling
mans ticket that brought down the
average earnings in Iowa. Eustis de-
clared that it was the fair, convention
and excursion tickets that brought
down the average, and that the COM
mercial ticket made but little differ
ence in the state. He pointed out that
the earnings of the roads in Iowa are
about $1,400 mile, in Massachusetts,
they are $4,000, and said the average
over the United States, including the
mountain districts, is greater than that
in Iowa. He said the present average
rate i'll Iowa is almost two cents, but
if maximum rate of two cents were
made an increase must be made in ex-
cursion and fair rates to meet it.
