IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

l.
"The new Iowa law that corporations
cannot issue capital stock except in ex-
change for money or property. Is
needed more in New York or New
Jersey than in Iowa. declares the
Sioux city Journal. But perhaps II
Is well for this state to set good ex-
ample"
"Any election conducted under the
states auspices. should be for keeps
and the candidate receiving a plurality
or majority should be declared elected,
insists the Dubuque Times.
The Creston Advertiser Gazette
thinks 'It is not at all improbable that
! Governor Cummins will be candidate
for another term. The signs pointing
/ in that direction are Of about the same
character as they were when his can
| didacy for third term was first dis
cussed."
The Grundy Republican is convinced
that the present legislature will go
down in history as one of the most no.
table sessions the stote has ever seen.
1t is the first time that the legislature
has not been influenced by the railroad
pasA" points out the Republican. ut
marks the last Of the domination by the
| railroads in a state campaign. Never
! again will there be the opportunity to
repeat campaign like that of 1906.
The primary law has ended all this.
And while there are men in this county
who fear the effect Of the primary law,
1 we can only plead that they give it a
fair trial before condemning 1t. If 1t
| is not all that has been claimed for 1t
| The Grundy Republican will be among
the first to ask for its repeal"
isn't 1t about time that Kretschmer
| of Dubuque was rewarded for selling
out to Ed Hunter last summer@ i'll
| quires the irrepressible Odebolt Chron-
Iicle. ut has been the boast of the
standpatters that they always deliver
| the goods. Kretschmer was promised
something better than state office
Did he get cash?"
| "The legalizing Of the railroad pass
| in the hands of lawyers is propo-
sition SO pernicious that We're it to be
suggested as an independent measure
it would bring down upon the head of
| its author unstinted condemnation, un-
| less indeed it would, in such circum-
stances. takes on the aspect of the RI
diculous and excite only amusement"
breaks out the Council Bluffs Nonpar-
| ell ut is only because it has come on
! top Of the heap Of rubbish already ac-
cumulated anent the pass matter thai
| it is entertained at all. 1t is not only
| ;ndefensible as class legislation, but it
| is positively vicious, and is as far re-
moved from the purposes Of the anti
pass movement as the east is from the
wet. 1t doubles the anti-pass re-
| form back upon itself and leaves the
situation worse than before"
| Says the Scranton Journal: "a
woman who goes wrong sometimes
thinks she will live it down. She will
not. Even her grandchildren will suffer
for it. and bank wreckers and stock
jobibng swindlers will be among the
respected citizens of the community
who cast the most stones"
speaking OIL Tue Jaw IoIpluulils
sports on Memorial day, the Chelsea
Independent, says: We've got about
| nine million such laws now that no one
pays any attention to and another,
more or less, won't hurt anything"
The Brooklyn Chronicle "blanes the
social and political conditions which
make such strikes possible and leave
no power in the hands of those who
must endure most of the damage. II
two foot ball elevens proposed to settle
| the question of their relative power
and skill using your kitchen garden
| for a field you would think you had
home rights in the matter" argues the
Chronicle.
