AN IOWA IDEA.

While Indiana and Nebraska have
reduced passenger fares to a fiat two
cent rate, the Iowa legislature has
adopted law similar to the plan pro-
posed by Senator Stewart of Kansas.
1t has passed both houses of the Iowa
assembly and will be signed by Cover
nor Cummins.
The Iowa law provides that here
after all railroads earning $4,000 per
mile yearly shall sell passenger tickets
for cents a mile, those earning less
than $4,000 and more than $4,000
shall sell for 2 u cents, and those earn
ing less than $4,000 per mile annually
may charge cents.
A law of this kinds works no hard
ship because of sparse population. 1t
also allows branch lines which have
only a light business to charge the
present rates. Kansas will watch the
workings of this Iowa idea" with
interest.

TIIAr HOUSE REsoLU1ToN.


The Stubs resolution with reference
to a primary election law was manifest
ly right. 1t simply took a pronounced
stand against any hybrid convention
primary system. declaring in favor Of a
real direct primary.
The state desires no sort of primary
except a direct primary, and it is fully
as anxious to nominate state officers by
primary as it does county and district
officers. The politicians are bound to
hang on to the convention if they posi-
bly, can, and that is just what the rank
and file object to. There's the rub.
Therefore it was eminently proper for
the house to take the stand it did in the
Stubs resolution. The conference COM
mfttee should be allowed to compromise
on the details of the primary, but there
should be no compromise that allows
the politicians to hang on to the con-
vention, by which they will be enabled
TO manipulate the nomination of those
OFFICIALS in whom they and the interests
they represent are interested.
hybrid nominating system, such as
is proposed by the Fitzpatrick bill, is
worse than no primary at all, for it in
wolves all the machinery of the direct
primary combined with all the machin-
cry of the convention, and still leaves
the politicians their power to manipu-
late nominations. The compromise pro-
posed by the senate conferees is little
better, because it gives the politicians
and their Interests. control of state
offices, the very thing the people are
trying to prevent.
