"ALDR1CH IN IOWA"
TScran+on Io,,rnal1

Under the above heading Washing
ton correspondent in the Boston Trans
cript says: "Aldrich could be elected
to the senate from Iowa He could be
elected from Wisconsin"
There was perhaps a time when
Aidrich, had he been eligible, might
have been appointed senator from
Iowa, for this exalted position was
offered to the late Joseph w. Blythe,
and what Blythe was to Iowa, Nelson
A. Aldrich is to the nation. There is
wonderful similarity between the
characters of these men. Mr.. Blythe
fought all railroad regulation in the
state as faithfully as does Mr.. Aldrich
in the nation. Not until the present
per cent of illiteracy is much increased
and the Youngs, Brants, Murphys.
Coles. and Perkins are greatly multi
piled could Mr.. Aldrich stand ghost
OF a show of getting a majority at
primary in this state.

70 POSTAL BARK NOW.

The announcement comes from
Washington that there will be no es-
fort on the part OF the administration
TO secure the enactment of a postal
savings bank law at the coming ses-
sion Of congress. Consideration OF
such legislation is not only postponed
for this session. as the Washington
report has il. but there is complete
surrender 70 those who have main
tained thar the postal bank project
should ilot be singled out from among
other pending banking and currency
problems and acted upon separately.

larasion was clean cut and positive

republicans promised the country in
lieu Of The bank guaranty scheme ad-

ise was accepted in good path Be
fore his election. and since, and most
recently IN his speech al Milwaukee,
early on his long trip across the coun-
try, President Taft reiterated and
elaborated upon and adopted as his
own that platform promise.

There emerged the absentminded man,

It appears there will be more fight
ing. In fact. it appears that the fight
IS but Just begun. Many thousands Of
republicans are not as adaptable as the
Sioux City editor. They have faith to
believe that the reforms accomplished
may live on and that others may be
added TO them. Mr.. Cannon is not an
issue. He is an incident, a profane and
vulgar old man who would be little

standard bearer of an unbearable as

WANT THE CARS.

We hope the Rock Island road will
not overlook the local branch in this
matter of installing motor car service.
Recently such service has been placed
on the branch connecting Iowa City and
Muscatine, and assurance is given that
just as soon as the experiment demon
strates that the plan is feasible one
it will be extended to other branches.
The car being used is known as the
Stcver car. and it operated by gasoline
motor power. II has a capacity of
twenty passengers and a baggage COM

ment of the kind made by the Rock

of such cars is to become general on

versity and traffic expert with the
waterways commission now IN Europe
gathering data for congress.
German rolling stock within its
limitations is quite good" he went on.
The carriages on the continental
lines for the most part, however. still
cling to the form of the traditional
stage coach, and the freight cars are
very small compared with those Of
the United States. Instead of 40 and
50-ton cars the average capacity in
France and Belgium is ten and fifteen
tons. and there are a few cars in Ger
many carrying as much as 20 tons
The Germans say that large cars
would force many manufacturers to
readjust their plants, whose loading
and unloading facilities are adapted to
the smaller cars.
BY keeping the cars down to the
level of the small shipper they are
hampering the enterprising and pro
gressive producers. Small cars, how
ever. keep up transportation charges,
for Acton car can be hauled at a
cost not greatly IN excess OF that of
hauling 15-ton car. German officials
admit that their railroad rates are
higher than those of America
In other words. the Germans hold
back railroad development to the
needs of the average business man,
while in America the tendency is to
reduce the unit of cost of production
This is aided by the use Of large cars,
and small shippers are forced to ad-
just their business accordingly. To
handle the great volume of traffic in
America the railroads have had to re.
sort to immense coal and ore cars
grain cars, furniture and meat cars
'It is just this reducing OF the unit
cost with the most improved machin
cry which allows America to pay the
highest wages while obtaining the low
est cost of production. II the great
American establishments were brought
suddenly to do business on railroads
such as those Of the continent, they
would be suffocared.
THE net income from the railroads
pays one-f1fth Of the Prussian budget
The Germans cannot afford to reduce
the rates, and they cannot afford te
put their railroads on par with those

outlay Of capital that would be needed
