interurbans Pay Handsome Profit.
1nterurbans in Iowa continue to 70.
port extremely satisfactory net earn
ings. On the business done in 1907
the net earnings were more than one
third of the gross earnings. but even
at that they were not as large in pro-
portion as they were in 1906. The
mileage of interurban lines in Iowa
increased more the fifty in 1907 over
1906. There now are ten interurban
lines in Iowa. The longest is that
which does business between Valley
Junction. Perry, the army post and
Colfax. The METEOROLOGICAL Falls
line is the next longest, but the Fort
Dodge, Des MoInes & Southern ID
nearly as long.

Nineteen Counties Minus Socialists.
Though not socialist vote was
cast in nineteen counties and but one
Socialist vote was cast IN each of
thirteen others, the socialist stats
ticket came within 200 votes Of the
prohibition state ticket. Prohibition.
lists attribute this to the fact that
John ]. Hamilton was running for
governor on the republican ticket and
the prohibitionists who also are re.
pubffcans all voted for him instead
a voting the third party ticket
Tue prohibition party, outside q
Posk and Dallas counties, polled a
vote of 1888 in the primary election.
In the general election Of 1905 they
cast 9,S72 votes. There was no con,
test In the primary election to bring
out the vote.
The socialists cast LISA votes in
the primary, not including Polk and
Dallas counties. In 1896. they cast

Bison Society Wants Cash.
Des Moines people who wish to as.
sist in preserving the nearly extinct
American bison are asked for small
contributions by President William T.
HorHaday. president of the American
Bison society, in a letter received by
Mayor Mathis. Congress appropriat.
ed $4,000 to buy bison range m
Montana and the society is now
engaged in raising $4,000 by popula,
subscription to stock the range. Mr..
Hornaday says it is desired that
every state In the union be repre-.
sented In the subscription list.
Governor May Pardon Liners.
Attorney General H. w. Byers has
decided that the chief executive of the
state has the power to pardon life
conyicts without reference to whether
the legislature advises for or against
1t.
The decision of the attorney gem
eral directly affects twenty-one life
convicts who petitioned the last leg
islature for pardons Under the law
the governor must submit these APP
plications to the assembly. Under
the decision, that having been done,
the governor has power to pardon OF
NOT without regard to the rseon-

nendation Of the assembly. Tnere
were more than a score Of these arr
plfcants before the last legislature.
General Byers hnaded down tho
decision on Feb. 10, 1908, or more
than four months ago. The opinion
followed upon request from the gov
ernor for an Interpretation Of the
statute and constitution, filed with
the attorney general several months
prior to. the time that the opinion Of
the legal department was promul-
gated.
1t is understood that the opinion
taking the contrary view and hold
ing that the legislative enactment
with respect to requiring the gov
ernor to submit applications of
'hfers' for pardon to the legislature
did curtail the constitutional power
of the governor to grant pardons
was handed down by Smith McPher-
son when attorney general OF the
state, but the circumstances under
which the question came to him are
not known at the state house.

proclamation asking the public aid
for McGregor. which was devastated.
