Hosier for Supervisor.

West Point Bee: Supervisor l.
Hosier is candidate for reelection
for the term beginning January /,
1912, his present term expiring Oh that
date. That he is entitled to another
term of that Office was clearly shown
at the primaries where he had no OPP
position on the Republican ticket. He
was elected two years ago by a good
majority. That he was very popular
and well liked was shown as he car
ried two Democratic strongholds,
West Point and Marion townships.
Mr.. Hosier has in no way abused the
confidence placed in him by his
friends at that time and has made one
of the best supervisors Leo county
has ever had. Much was expected OF
him when he was elected and he has
made good. He is known as a good
business man, worthy Of public con
fidence and esteem His two years OF
service on the board has especially
qualified him to administer affairs OF
the county Mr.. Hosier is a promi
nent farmer of Pleasant Ridge town
| shin and is man who will well LOOK
after the needs of the county. He is
personally popular wherever known
Those VINO know him best are his
warmest friends and supporters. HIS
past record speaks for ftTelf.

Advantages Of a Mulct LalD

The state has become adjusted to
the law, the saloon is getting adj
justed to it in the river cities. the
law is not unfair nor unjust In what
it demands Why, then, should Iowa
vote at this time to reopen this old
and tedious debate, and begin again
to experiment with a township local
option that is giving satisfaction no
where else, and that will mark ire
mendous step backward ror Iowa in
saloon regulation?

Carroll Herald: In the present

loss OF twenty-five members the con-
troll will pass over to the Democrats.
The Democrats are counting on seven
Iowa districts as uncertain but If they
succeed in more than one or two II
will have to be as the result of a
turnover that is not indicated at the
present time OF course conditions
are apathetic in Iowa az elsewhere
but the state is one in which both
parties share alike and probably

Des Moines Register and Leader:
Iowa is confronted with threaten
ed reopening of liquor law agitation.
The election of Mr.. Porter could
start it. while the election of Demo
cratic majority in the legislature
would plunge the state at once into
the very heat of it.
From time to time a great deal of
ridicule has been heaped upon the
mulct law. because it first prohibits
the saloon and then under certain
restrictions permits the saloon to be,
operated 1t is well on occasion to-
stop and consider what is accom-
plished by this legislative legerde-
main. -.
The mulct law by prohibiting the
saloon, by making the liquor traffic
illegal, puts the saloon, where it is
permitted, on the defensive. 1t has no
legal rights. All it can claim is i'm
munity from prosecution by showing
aff1rmatively that it has obeyed all
the restrictions imposed. The burden
of proof is put on the saloon.
Under any form of local option the
saloon once recognized would have
legal standing. 1t would have rights
it could enforce in court; the bur
den of proof would be on the COM
munity to show that it was violating
the law; at every turn the shoe
would be on the other foot
1t Is not necessary to point out in
detail what this difference in the
status of the saloon would mean.
Anybody who has had occasion in
the conduct of lawsuit to learn
how much depends on where
the burden of proof lies, will not
need to be told what it means to
the state that under the mulct law
the saloons must prove innocence,
while under local option the COM
munity must prove guilt.
The nrulct law gives the state
what Mr.. Bryan is demanding, the
county as a unit, excepting the cit
les of 5000 or over are treated as
units of consent. Mr.. rorter's Local
option plank calls for township op
ton, which would admit the saloon
into any rural community In the
state where a majority of the PEG
pie could be persuaded to vote fol
1t. Mr. Bryan says the count,
should decide. The mulct law is il
line with Mr. Bryan's demand.
But the feature of the mulct Law
that makes it by far the most drastic
saloon law on the statute books o
any state is the power of the courts
to enjoin the saloon and then to en-
force the courts orders by fines TO
contempt. thereby entirely eliminat
ing the jury from any part in thu
proceedings. A great deal may b.
said against the whole mulct Law
plan. but in practice it has proven t
be the most salutary feature of tn
law.
Il The law is today enforced to tn
letter in cities that would neve
have enforced 1t but for this powe
of the courts-in cities 1t is safe t
say that would never enforce tn
ordinary restrictions put upon tn
7 saloon In what are known as locs
option states.
; The mulct law does not keep tn
saloon away from any communit
that in the common Judgment of th
people o',ght to have it. 1t is Their
fore not an extreme measure. O
t the other hand it does make it
e the interest of the saloon to obey tn
law and obey it religiously in sue
communities as permit the saloo

Guantanamo occupies the only COM
manding site as naval base essen

defensible, capable of collecting a

ROADS MAY
ADVANCE RATES
interstate Commerce Commits
sion Decides AgainstState
Contention
RATES MAY NOW BE RAISED
Decision of Commission is Based on
Supreme Court Decision and Will
Have Great Effect Upon
Railway Traffic

Washington.-The interstate com
merce commission dismissed the COM
plant in the case of the railroad com
missions Of Alabama and Georgia and
he Morgan Grain company VS.. the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad company.
Fhe interstate commerce commission
declared that the rates on certain class
commodities from Ohio and Missis-
sippi river crossing to Birmingham,
Ala, and Atlanta, Ga, which were ad-
vanced August /. 1908. are not found
to be unreasonable or unduly discrim-
inatory. The cases were heard to-
gether because the substance matter
Of each is based upon the advances
made in rates two years ago on fresh
meats, grain and hay, grain products
and packing house products from
Ohio and Mississippi river crossings
to certain destinations in the territory
embraced by the Southeastern freight
association and the Southeastern Mis-
sissippi Valley association.
The condition of most of the rail-
roads in this section of the country
IS not yet up to the highest standard,
and in order that their facilities may
be improved and extended to the ulti-
mate lasting advantage of the people
OF the South, it is necessary that car
rlcrs be permitted to charge rates that
are fully compensatory for the SER
vices they perform so long as such
rates have not been shown to be I'M
just, unreasonable or excessive with
respect to the public. We are unable
to hold that an advance is unreason-
able because some part of the benefit
therefrom will accrue to carrier that
during the period of the last 10 years
has regularly pain interest on its total
bonded debt and in addition thereto
has recently paid dividends upon its
stock"
The commission held the rates were
not shown to be unjust, unreas enable
or excessive. 1t held that to permit
the roads in this section to be OF ulti-
mate lasting advantage to the South
ern people, the railroads should be
permitted to charge rates fully com
pensatory for their services. Dissent
ing opinions were filed by Commits
sioners Lane and Clements.
