Question on Primary Law.

A curious and interesting question
respecting the primary law has been
raised at Davenport and the authori-
ties there have decided to submit it to
he attorney general, H. w. Byers, for
settlement.
When all of the voters of the party
are require to vote for two candi-
dates for Office, to what vote does the
35 per cent clause apply?
In Davenport two aldermen at large
were nominated. Every republican,
for instance, voted for two candidates
for these Offices. Several were run
ming. The law provides that when
candidate receives So per cent Of the
total vote he is nominated without
the intervention of convention. In
the case in question about 1000 voters
participated in the primary. But for
two candidates for aldermen at large
who had the largest vote, about 1000
votes were cast. Attorneys were d.
vided on whether to figure the 35 per
cent on the basis of 1000 or the A.
900 votes. 1t was decided to submit
the question to the attorney general
The primary law does not cover
this matter, specifically, and it will
be left to the Interpretation of the
courts, If the opinion Of the attorney
general is not satisfactory. If the 35
per cent must be estimated on the
1000 votes, then the nomination will
be thrown into a convention. Other
wise not.

Des Moines Rate Hearing.

Des Moines Rate Hearing.
Des Moines.-The hearing of evi.
dence in the complaints made by the
Greater Des Moines committee before
the interstate commerce commission
against five railroad companies was
completed on the 9th, and Commits
sioners Lane and Clark returned to
Washington, after warmly compli-
menting Freight Commissioners E. W..
Wylie on his conduct of the case for
Des Moines shippers.
The railroads against which evil
dence was taken on the last day, fol-
lowing the filing Of protests by the
Greater Des Moiles committee that
the companies were charging higher
rates for lumber shipped to Des
Moines from southern lumber fields
than to Omaha and relative points,
are the Kansas City & Southern, the
Chicago Great Western, the st. Louis
Southwestern, the Missouri Pacific,
and the Wabash companies. These
cases together with the cases against
the Chicago, Rock Island e. Pacific
railroad, in which testimony was taken
during the two previous days of the
session, will be argued in Washing.
ton during April.
Attorney N. T. Guernsey, counsel
for the Greater Des Moines commit
tee, was asked to file his briefs in
the cases by March "a and the attor-
neys for the railroad companies will
be given until April 5 to make their
reply.
In only one case did the defending
railroad company fail to present evi,
dence In defense. This was the case
against the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railroad company, the outcome OF
which gives every promise of being a
decided victory for the Greater Des
Moines committee. Mr.. Wylie testified
that the merchants of Minneapolis
and st. Paul were able to secure bet.
ter freight rates than Des Moines
business men on the Minneapolis &
st. Louis railroad, and consequently
enjoyed an advantageous position to
compete for trade in the northwest
ern states.
When the committee closed its case
]. M. Tittemore, freight traffic com.
missioner of the Minneapolis & St
Louis, instead of testifying in behalf
of the railroad company, declared that
1t was the intention of his company
to make revised tariff in the near
future and that he believed that the
new rates would remove all cause for
complaint. Mr.. Tittemore asked that
the hearing of the case be continued
and the commission postponed the
hearing indefinitely. The complaint
will remain on file and further action
against the company, If any, will be
based upon the terms of the new
tariff.

Y. M. G. a OF Iowa.
According to a report just issued,
the past few months have been a time
of unusual activity in the Young Mems
Christian Association. of the state.
The thirty-one student associations
do their work among the 1000 men at
tending the Iowa Colleges. There are
2,400 members, 500 of whom are serv.
ing on committees, 2,100 enrolled in
bible study and many decisions for
the Christian life. A conference OF
the presidents and officers will be
held in the new association building
OF the State College at Ames, early
in April.
The Boys Departments are giving
scientific study to the boy problem.
AS the success of this work depends
on capable leadership, every effort
has been made to help both employed
officers and volunteer workers to be-
come better informed. Men and older
boys from eighteen associations we're
brought in touch with the series Of
| institutes held recently, to their great
advantage. Conferences with parents,
pastors, Sunday school teachers, sup
erintendents and teachers in public
schools have been held at Waterloo,
Fort Dodge, Atlantic, Ottumwa, Fort
Madison, and Clinton.
The first boys conference for Iowa
| has just been held at Oskaloosa. Nine
| ty one delegates were present from
| fifteen points, besides fifty Oskaloosa
boys. Bible study and personal work
were given especial attention. There
were fifteen decisions for the Chris
| tian life in the Sunday meetings.
In the city and railroad associa-
tions there are 1880 men and boys
| enrolled in systematic bible study.
| Eight associatins are conducting from
| one to four noon shop bible classes,
taking the gospel to 1000 men each
week. A large majority of whom are
not reached by any other Christian
| agency. Out of these classes has al.
ready come two requests for home
classes. There were 275 decisions
for the Christian life in Fred B.
Smiths campaigns at Des Moines and
Ottumwa. DR.. Geo. J. Fisher of the
international committee held a very
inspiring institute on religious work
in the physical department, with the
| physical directors of the state at
Cedar Rapids.
| The county work men have been
| giving especial attention to evange-
listic work. Campaigns have been
held at Baxter, Patton, Jeffer-
son, Defiance, Kirkham and Shelby.
| These towns were stirred up and a
majority of the non-Christian men
made the objects of well directed per.
sonal effort by local leaders. The
| state and county secreta ries had the
assistance of Ames students Asa Tur.
ner and A. r. Hackett. Buena Vista
county is now being organized. More
than half the money needed has al
ready been secured. A number of
other counties are calling fer the
work.

Buy New Rifle Range.

Deeds passed during the past week
from the owners Of the land constitut-
ing the new national guard rife range
north of Des Moines to the state
authorities for the government.
The state Is buying the new camp
ground adjacent to the rifle range
and the state and government are In
partnership on the deal, so that the
national guard in fact will have the
benefit of the whole business.
! AS soon as the guard camp ground
south of Des Moines is sold the state
will buy its own camp site north of
the city.
! Correspondence between Congress
man Hull and Adjutant General Thrift
of the national guard relating to the
sale of the guard camp site to the
war department for attachment to the
army post is now going forward and
1t is thought that the appropriation
may be attached to the pending bills.
If not It will go in at the next ses-
sion of congress in December. In
the meantime, of course, any one who
would purchase the grounds could get
them for SITS per acre. The govern
ment will pay 5000 If it takes the land
over.

An impetus was given to the pro-

merits of the proposition and the adj
vantages of its contamination were
discussed at fair sized meeting of
the Commercial club. 1t was stated
that the proposition had now reached
the point where its early realization
would require the help of local men

other words, the investment by the
latter of about 100000 in stock as
evidence of their faith and co-opera-

and also indicates the restoration of
business to a normal basis. Deposits

show a gain over the showing made

Claim Unjust Rates.

Alleging that the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway is compelling
it to pay extortionate switching
charges at Ottumwa, the Ottumwa
Brick & Construction company mas
applied for a writ Of injunction in the
federal court. Judge Smith McPher.
son issued a temporary restraining
order enjoining the railroad from
charging more than SO for switching
cars from the transfer yards in Of
tumwa to the company's plant and re-
turn. The case was set for hearing
on the first day of the Ottumwa term
of court, which begins March 30.
According to the bill of complaint
the Milwaukee constructed spur
track from Ottumwa to the brick
company's plant about ten years ago.
Until November, 1906, the complaint
says, the Milwaukee charged rate Of
SO per car for switching cars on the
Rock Island, Burlington and Wabash
roads to and from the plant. This
rate, it is claimed, is a fair and rea-
sonable one. But In November, 1905,
the compliments say the rate was
arbitrarily raised to 2.8 cents per
hundred pounds of freight. On Febru-
airy, 1907, the charge was reduced to
81 per car, and In February, 1908, 1t
was again advanced to 2,24 cents per
hundred. This makes the charge from
$13.44 to S17.92 or more per car, ac-
cording to the complaint. Such
charges are claimed to be unreason-
able, unjust, extortionate and in vio-
lation of the laws of the state of
Iowa and the United States. If re-
quired to pay it they say they will be
compelled to operate their plant at a
loss.
The rate of SO per car is not OBJ
jected to, but the company claims any
charge above that amount is unrea.
sonable.

Orders of Supreme Court.


An order issued by the clerk OF
the supreme court to the notice Of
attorneys of the state providing that
the clerk in making up the docket
for the May term of 1908 shall place
thereon all continued cases, petitions
for rehearing filed under rule 20, GER
tiorari cases and criminal causes filed
thirty days before May and all
other cases docketed before Dec. l.,
1907.
C. w. Lyon, assistant attorney gen.
eral has returned from Washington,
d. c., where he presented the states
side in the Charles Thomas case be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States. Both the question of juris.
diction and the one involving thu
freedom of Thomas were submitted tn
the court. 1t will decide, in the first
place, whether it has jurisdiction in
the case. II it has not it will not
discuss the other point but If it de-
cides that it has, the same decision
will contain the finding as to the
merits Of the case. 1t is probable
that month or longer will intervene
before the decision is reached.
Twenty-Five or thirty telegraph
operators are {: be added to the work
ing force on the Iowa division OF the
Rock Island railroad this month. The
reason for the increase In the tele-
graphic force on the Rock Island Is
the new national nine hour operator
law which becomes effective this
week. Under the new law railroad
telegraph operators who have been
working twelve hours and more are
not permitted to work longer than
nine hours a day. This required the
taking on Of larger force of men
and the Rock Island has made Inn
mediate arrangements to comply with
the new law.
