Des Moines, Dec. 1s.-A number of
the pamphlet copies OF the address of
Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw at Indian
apolis in which he took such a hard
fall out of the Aldrich and administra-
ton plan for a central bank have been
received BY state officials and there is
much speculation about the state house
as 10 just where the former resident
OF Deaison is now to be classed POI

that his argument is about the hardest
blow the Dig ba,iA scheme has received.

and further that Shaw has indicated

10 as no doubt genuine attempt to
place restraints upon the huge ara
powerful railroad systems of the Unit

Hears, position is:
/ The Examiner upon the whole

1t Is we'll remembered that Senate,
CuHnins has for many years main
tanned that unless regulation on the
Iowa plan is shown to be adequate in
practice and does get the results Il
which the people are entitled then
there is little hope of escape from gov
eminent ownership. His bill as intro
dueed is essentially an application o,
the general principles of Iowa law. as
