gress. Governor Cummins accepted

host for Iowa to the president and his
party and to the many other gov
errors of western states who have
said they will be there.
I'VE expect 10 make this more than
a local day." said Mayor Strimback.
I'VE plan to make it an Iowa day and
we want the attendance of as many
Iowans as can come. We hope to
have special rates for the occasion
and excursion trains"
The president will arrive in Keokuk

ling there the members of the con-
gressional party and joining them on
their trip Of inspection down the Mis-

Wright sustained by creameries

Wright Sustained by creameries.
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Wright has returned from Nebraska,
where he spent several days listen
ing to the case that is being made
there relative to freight rates on
creamery and dairy products and
which raises the identical question
brought to the front in Iowa, recently,
and now pending before the inter-
state commerce commission in Wash
ington.
He cannot express an opinion as to
the outcome in Nebraska and is con-
cerned as to the situation in Iowa.
Here he aided the farmers co-opera-
tives to prevent the reduction of
rates asked by the centralizing plants
on the theory that reduction in rates
would make possible long haul ship
ments of cream and milk to centTaliz-
ing plants and close local farmers
cooperative ccreameries whose num-
Der has been reduced from 1000 to
slightly more than 600 in Iowa in the
last five years
Effort is now being made before
the Interstate commerce commission
to effect the same end, the centraliz-
ing plants persisting in the effort to
reduce rates In Iowa and Nebraska
so as to put out of business the local
concerns which do not ship milk and
cream at ALL but keep the price OF
butter up.
In the face of the movement In
Iowa and Nebraska to put the farm
ers' co-operatives out of business,
these concerns are now forming gen.
eral associations with view to pre-.
venting the absorptioh of all the
business by the big, centralized
plants. Ons of these general associa.
tons is the Northeastern Iowa Cream
cry association which has just held
a convention at Manchester and has
endorsed the position taken by Mr.
Wright. These district associations
will be merged into a general state
or bi-state association, eventually to
fight for self preservation.

VIII Open Revenue Records.


The local internal revenue Office has
received an order recently issued by
Attorney General Bonaparte, giving
county attorneys access to the records
of the revenue officers Heretofore no
one outside Of government officials has
been allowed to examine these records
and they were prohibited from max
ing them public. The order was is
sued for the purpose of making 1t
easier for state prosecuting attorneys
to discover and punish violations OF
the liquor laws.
AS far as the United States govern.
ment is concerned any person can
engage in the retail or wholesale
liquor business at any time and al
any place upon the payment of a
yearly tax of $25. AS long as this tax
tax is paid the government will not
interfere regardless of what the state
laws may be.
BY consulting the records of the
internal revenue office the county at.
torneys will be able to learn the
names of every person who has paid
the government tax and thus viola
lions of the state law will be less diff
ficult to discover. The payment of
the tax is considered prima facie evil
dence that the person having paid it
is engaged in the liquor business.
Heretofore this evidence has not been
available to the state authorities.

Charged With Grating.

Other Iowa towns have been given
warning by Lieut.. John w. Downes
Jr., U. s. NJ, recruiting officer at
Des Moines. in which he says to be
on the lookout for shrewd imposter
who has successfully worked Des
Moines, Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa.
The lieutenant's word came to the
police and warns the public against
a man who is soliciting funds from
house to house on the pretense that
he is deaf and dumb. and came to hts
condition by an accident while serv.
ing on the U. s. s. Wisconsin.

New Head at EIdora.


w. l.. Kuser has been elected sup
erintendeat of the boys industrial
school at Eldora by the board of con-
troll.
Mr.. Kuser has been the assistant
superintendent of the institution for
six years. During the last four months
he has been in charge of it, following
the retirement of Col L. ID. Drake.
His selection as chief of the insti-
tuition for the second time established
the precedent of recognition of assist
ants at the institutions, and this policy
probably will be followed by the board
hereafter
In all. practically fifty applicants
for the Eldora position have filed
their papers with the board during the
four months that the position has been
held open, These men resided in diff
ferent states, ranging from Indian
Territory to Michigan. Some of them
made many visits to the board in
their own interests, and their friends
have been busily engaged presenting
their claims.

May Delay Schools Opening.

Although Judge Miller of the dis
trict court has sustained the console
dation of the independent school dis.
tricts of Des Mones there Is some
doubt as to whether the schools will
open at the regular time, because the
attorneys for the opposition have an.
nounced that they will appeal the
case to the supreme court, and the
directors OF the West Des Moines and
consolidated district board Of educa.
tion say they hesitate to prepare for
the September term until the higher
court has settled the legality Of the
merger.

cummins on Oil Fine.

Il can think of but one objection to
the s29,0c0,00O fine for the Standard
Oil company" said Governor Cum.
Minis, on his arrival home after two
or three weeks vacation. THAT is
that penitentiary sentence could not
have been pronounced, instead, under
the law. 1t would have had better
effect than the money penalty, had 1t
been possible to render a judgment
for time restraining the guilty per-
sons OF their liberty. But since that
could not be done, it is well that the
maximum fine was imposed. 1t should
be notice to rebaters that their unlaw.
full practices must cease"

Buffalo Dies from Heat.

Teddy, the veteran leader of the
buffalo herd at Greenwood park, was
overcome by the excessive heat and
died. Teddy was brought to this city
a year ago from Montana, and al
though he was purchased by the park
board for $3.50, he was valued up to
the time of his death at $500. II
was decided by the park board to
present the remains of Teddy to the
state historical society. Should they
accept the gift, the skin will go
through the hands Of taxidermist,
and be placed on exhibition In the
historical building.
