PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL

There has never been any who have

In grain raising qualities 1t possessed

vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
large percentage OF that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had IL
not been for the frost early In August,
which visited most of the north half
OF the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis

about 100000 acres was sown to win.

Help Asked of Iowa Banks.

The Des Moines banks, through the

ton was in accord with letter from
the Chicago Clearing House associa.
ton asking the views of the Des

and the best method of restoring cur.

swered with the statement that Des
Moines would be glad to cooperate
In any movement to bring about the
restoration, but before ;Hy details
could be given 1t would be necessary
to consult the country correspondent

TO construe 1s-Hour Law.

To construe 16-Hour Law.
Des Moines.-Attorney General
Byers has been asked by the state
railroad commission to construe the
Marston sixteen-hour law for railroad
employees.
Several complaints have reached
the commission from railroad en-
ployes whose names are not disclos-
ed Question has arisen as to whether
strict construction of the law Is re-
quired or a substantial compliance
with 1t is sufficient. If a train is de-
layed by natural causes which are
not emergency conditions. and the
sixteen hours expires when the train
Is mile from a station, does the law
go into operation at that moment and
make the railroad officials guilty of a
crime II the men, without order from
the company, even, take the train on
into the station?
Is a strict or reasonable construc-
ton of the statute necessary?
The federal law requiring air brakes
on certain per cent of the cars in
train provides that the employee
who operates train not lawfully
equipped shall be subject to the same
penalty that the corporation Is. This
compels the employees to look out not
to handle train inadequately equip
ped with air brakes.
In the case of the Iowa statute
limiting the hours of continuous en-
ployment of railroad employees to six
teen only the railroad company, its
officers and agents can be prosecuted
for violation of the statute The act
makes it unlawful to require or per-
NIT any employee engaged in or con-
nected with the movement of any
rolling stock of the corporation to
labor longer than sixteen hours at a
stretch. This does not apply to sleep
Ing car employees, however.
The penalty may be enforced
against any superintendent, train
master, train dispatcher, yard master
or other officials of railroad who re-
quires or permits any employe to
work more than sixteen hours.
This, of course, puts the employee
and the railroad company on a basis
not entirely In harmony. The incen-
tive to the law, which was enacted
In his interest, is removed, the rail
road company complains. If he were
made equally at fault with the rail-
road officials, they insist, there could
be no violations of the law.
The commission, however, is only
interested in what sort of construc-
ton to put on the law in cases aris-
ING from time to time out Of the ordi-
nary.

Parker Pursues ChantIand.

Fdrker PurSueS Chantland.
Upon the instant that Governor
Cummins overruled the petition of
Major Parker of the Fifty-sixth regi-
ment for a new election for colonel
in that regiment Major Parker filed
charges against Colonel Chantland,
demanding general court martial.
1t is not unlikely that Colonel
Chantland will go before the court
which tries Captain Kulp of Daven,
port, Dec. 10.
Two charges are preferred-con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gen
tleman, and conduct to the prejudice
If good order and military discipline.
In support of the first Major
Parker charges that Major Chantland,
being a candidate for colonel, Undue
ed L. f. Chiquet to vote for him, rep
resenting that enlistment papers
signed by Chiquet were of no force
and effect and causing false certi-
ficate of enlistment for him to be
made; that he induced men to enlist
In order to vote for him; and he
threatened an unnamed merchant
member of company with loss of
trade unless he voted for him; that
he promised promotions to L. R. Nc
CURE and others If they would vote
for him; and that he threatenN
promised and intimidated guaydsmen
to induce them to vote for him.
In support of the second charge
Major Parker alleges the same things.
All of them are denied by Colonel
Chantland.
1t is well understood in guard cir
cles that charges will be filed against
Major Parker and court martial will
be demanded.

Freight Rates on Baggage Cars.

When the state railroad commits.
sion meets Dec. 10 to continue its in.
curry with respect to rates for express
II may be confronted by the broader
question of providing rates for the
carrying of all kinds of merchandise
on passenger trains without regard to
whether 1t is handled by the express
companies or by the railroad COM
panies themselves.
For instance, milk and cream bust
ness is handled by the railroads in
their baggage cars. No intention to
charge this rate exists, but hitherto
the railroad commission has not fixed
rates with specific regard to the tar
III on passenger trains, and unde. the
proposal Of Railroad Commissioner
Ketchum that the freight classification
with appropriate rates be put into
force for express business and those
shipments handled by the railroad
companies themselves, the question
of covering all freight carried on pas.
senger trains, without regard to
whether handled by the railroads or
the express companies. becomes
prominent.

Eat Diseased Meats.

Eat Diseased Meats.
In spite OF the seeming protection
against bad meat and diseased ami.
mails. afforded by the recent United
States meat inspection measures, Des
Moines now eats as much uninspected
beef as 1t does inspected Not only
! is every local agent of the Chicago
packers buying uninspected meat
slaughtered In Des Moines but the
packers themselves are sending
dozens of cars of cattle here every
month from Omaha and Kansas City
and Chicago. And the reason for II
all lies in the infamous greed for the
dollar.
Longman & Baird conduct the only
slaughter house in the city. They
operate without any federal, state or
city inspection. They are free
lances. John Dorr, large cattle
feeder and landowner six miles from
the city has recently gone into the
Strengthening business on his farm.
He owns LOO head of cattle and
finds the trade profitable. These two
are, of course, the principal killers OF
uninspected meat. Longman & Baird
slaughter cattle here for the local
agents of the packers. II the farmer
near Des Moines has a car which he
cannot sell advantageously to the
eastern market or to the Agar plant
or that is of too low grade, he can
dispose of 1t to some one of the
agents here for the packers. The
cattle are then taken to the slaughter
houses where without any official
inspection to protect the public
against disease or unnourishing meat
they are killed on a commission. The
killer usually gets the hide and sur
plus fat. This nets MIN a neat profit
These low grade cattle, worn out
cows or suspicious steers are bought
by the packers at from two to three
cents on the hoof. They dress out at
big loss so that they cost the pack
er's agent about four and half cents
for the low grade stuff This he can
sell at any price he can get, making a
good profit at five cents and better
one at anything over that That ex-
plains sufficiently the fact that Des
Moines eats as much unexpected beef
as 1t does of the government inspect
ed product.
