Do JUSTICE TO r4g sA,LRoAos

1t seems that the report that the
Farmers Union of this state has de
cided TO ask the Railroad Commits
sion to reduce the railroad passen-
ger rate to 2 cents a mile is without
foundation, says the Savannah
Morning News. 1t is it purpose to
ask for reduction leaving it to
the commission to determine what
the reductions, if any, shall be.
At present the fare is 3 cents a
mile, and thousand mile tickets
are sold at = cent mile.
The rate ia this state is about as
low as it is in most of the states,
though there is quitea movement
for a lower fare. In Pennsylvania,
for instance, bill is pending max.
ing the fare cents, and in Ala
bama the other day the Lpgis-
lature made the rate . cents.
No doubt the Railroad Commits
sion will endeayor to do what is
right as between the people and
the railroad. The fact that in a
sparsely settled state the railroad
cannot live upon as low rate as
they can in thickly populated
states should be taken into eonsid
GRAFTON in making a rate.
a railroad running between
NewYork and Philadelphia. OF
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, could
afford to carry passengers at much
lower rate than a road running
between any cities of the South.
What should be aimed at is al
low rate as possible, taking into
account the necessity of keeping
the roads in first class condition
and of paying their fixed charges
promptly, There is need for many
more railroads in this state. A
policy that would check railroad
building would be an unwise one

NO EVIDENCE OF ENTHUSIASM

The people-those who pay the
freight, still refuse to enthuse
over Rockefeller's alleged gifts of
S32 900, 900 to education. For, Re
it known, this gift was not in
cash, bat rather In bonds. They
are Understanding securities
issued by certain great monopolies
whose existence Mr.. Rockefeller
would like to see perpetuated, and
there is much reason to believe
that this, more than the promotion
Of the cause Of education is the
purpose of the gift. 1t is quite
probable that the shreWd Mr..
Rockefeller has calculated that
when these securities are apportion-
ed among educational institutions
scattered throughout the country
the corporations they represent
will be able to continue preying on
the public without fear of their
operations being interfered with,
because should an attempt be
made through legislative action to
reach and curb these corporations
a great howl would be raised To the
effect that it would depreciate the
value of their interest bearing
securities, with the result that very
great injury would be done the
educational institutions holding
such securities. Whether this be
thereason or not, the fact is appar-
ent that the country has not
enihused over the Rock Teller gift.

| injuries by having the same impaired,
besides suffering great pain. For. this
| reason he asks the court to allow him

Ottumwa, May 2S.--Was the city
council of ottumwa Within its rights
when it paid s75 to the Ballingall ho-
tel for banquet given by the city to
the Iowa State Engineering associa-
ton?
Was 1t within its rights when 1t
paid Nor trips of its members to at
tend meetings of the Iowa Municipal
league, etc.? +.
These questions are brought for
ward by the report that has been
made by the state examiners who re-
Gently examined the accounts of the
city ,of ottumwa in which the action
of the ottumwa city council is round
ly scored.
ottumwa only spent SIS in paying
for a banquet at the Ballingall in en-
Pertaining a few, friends of the city
council and other city officers; but
1t is made the subject of a scoEching
criticism that must apply as we'll to
other cities which have spent money
Of .the tax payers in this way.
Des Moines has done its share, pro-
viding fine junkets to big cities for
various officials. This is what the Off
cia1 state examiner of municipal ac-
counts says Of what Ottumwa did:
Among the expenditures is an item
.of $50 for banquet at the Ballingall
hotel. know of no provision of law
that would authorize such an expendi-
ture, and it is quite doubtful If coun-
ell has the right to expend the money
of the city in some of the junketing
trips such as attending good roads
conventions or meetings Of the munich
pal league, however desirable such
gatherings may be-"
George E. Pencil of Atlantic and S.
g. Moore, under authority oftthe audi
tor OF state, examined Ottumwa's
books and make this criticism in their
report filed with Auditor Carroll.
Other defects in the management. of
the city's finances are the subject of
allusion by the state examiners For
instance, the councilmen, under the
present lax system of doing business,
paid themselves the full statutory sail
airy without reference to making the
record clear on the subject and they
paid no attention to theNaw requiring
expenditures to be cut to, the size OF
the income of the city.
