lishment of a bureau in the department

the measure is to encourage savings
among people who would have more
confidence in government managed in
stitutions than in others. The proposed
system, he claimed, instead of being a
menace to existing banks, would prove
a source of strength to the financial

ford Throne, recently elected railroad
commissioner, who was the guest and
principal speaker at the Grant club

told us some unpleasant facts. or all
the states in the union, Iowa was the
only one to lose population. What Is
the caust Of this? We do not have a
great center of population. Jobbing
centers spring up naturally where the
freight rates are the most advantage

must have just, freight rates.
II shall endeavor to obtain those
rates. In my Office of railroad COM

and prosecutor. Within the state my
capacity is judicial; in interstate mat

my function as prosecutor as the more
important of the two Ninety per cent
of the important matters are inter

will be devoted"
