FILE RATE OBJECTION.

Charges.
Des Moines.-The live stock men
have for the first time in the history
of the state appealed to the railroad
commission for relief from the local
freight charges; also have the live
stock interests OF Iowa prepared to
appeal to the interstate commerce
commission for consideration with re-
spect to interstate rates.
Clifford Thorne OF Washington, who
secured from the last legislature a
law discriminating in prices OF oil in
the state has filed petition asking
for a reduction of Iowa rates on cat.

Meat Producers association and with,
in short time this petition will be
considered by the state railroad COM
mission. Mr.. Thorne will also 20 be-
fore the interstate commerce COM

The petition, which Is of considera-
BILE length, claims that rates on live
stock should be gwen consideration
on the grounds that the average reve.
nue. per ton per mile for the past
year was 80 per cent higher than in
the Iowa group of six states CLASH

reduction on hogs number Of years

duction on cattle, sheep, horses or

tablished railroad rates seventeen
years ago. The experience of neigh

In closing 1t says: FOR the good
OF the farmer, for the good of all the
citizens of our state, whose prosperity
and success rises and falls with the

JURY Lists ILLEGAL.
Entire Panel Knocked Out BY POLK
County Judge.

l Il i 4 No0UAy S0S0Ss
Des Moines. In the most sweeping
far reaching decision handed down
| in the local district courts In years
Judge Eugh Brennan on the 10th heiu
| that both the grand and petit JUL.
lists in Polk County for the year "
1907 were irregularly and Illegally
drawn and therefore are null and VOID
In his opinion, Judge Brennan mas
the concurrence Of Judge McHenr!,
who sat with him on the bench anu
heard the evidence. Judge Howe
and Judge Miller, who were called In
to consultation, also concurred Win
Judge Brennan In full.
The opinion completely puts an emu
to district court procedure, except Or
vorce and equity cases until the iegts-
lature shall pass some act which shaii
assist the county out OF a most re-
markable plight. Should the legisla'
tur, fail to pass the expected statute,
the county would be juryless the en-
tire year. However, the discovery
that no provision has been made for
the drawing Of jurors any place IN
iowa next year makes 1t imperative
that measure Of some kind be
passed and there Is every reason to
believe that month or six weeks
will cover the delay in the Polk coun'
ty courts Of justice.
Not the least startling feature OF
the opinion is the possibility OF whole
sale prosecutions of election officials
who are roundly scored by Judge
Brennan. The law makes 1t a mis-
demeanor for any man either directly
or indirectly to request that he be
placed on a jury list. The recommen-
dation by an election official Of him
self for service is regarded as VIC
lation of this statute in the opinion
returned by the courts. The Civic
League may take up this phase of the
subject. There is doubt whether an
election clerk would fall within the
meaning OF tie statute, but the
judges are named specifically.
In the opinion Judge Brennan
frankly states that the recommends
tion of election officials Of them
selves for jury service is the princi.
pal grorld necessitating the disquali.
tication of the entire panels. He de-
clares that tie Investigation shows
80 Ineligible names on the grand
jury panel which was approved by
the supervisors. 1t also shows 90
per cent Of the petit jury to be in
eligible. If these were cast aside
Judge Brennan doubts whether an in
dictment returned by grand jury
representing only a triae less than
one-half the statutory number would
stand before the law.
Clerk B. f. Coffin and Auditor Lew
Burnett are eXonerated from any
criminal negligence but are censured
for carelessness and failure to read
the statutes governing the drawing
Of juries.
