When iowa elected its railroad com

the people. but il has proven to the
contrary. and the indications are that
j. is owned by the railroads. Some
time ago, the commission prepared a
SET of resolutions and preambles to be
given to the attorney general. 1t was
. secret affair. and was not supposed
20 belong 10 anyone else. In the brief
prepared by the railroad company, it
was found that this same preamble and
resolution was incorporated in the
same, Mr.. Ketchum, a member of the
commission. having given it to the at
torney of the opposing forces. The
railroad company had it before Mr..
Byers saw il. II has resulted in one of
the liveliest scandals in Iowa official
dom in years. Eaton comes out and de-
mics all knowledge of the leak, and
says that he will not again be can
didate. ketchum ought TO resign. 1t
has been evident for a long time that
the Iowa commission was a weak af-
fair. but it was not supposed before
that il was traitor to the people.

1t is positively stated, and we have

charge the government five times more

government being charged too much or
the express company not enough? No
one believes for minute that the rail-
roads haul the express cars at a loss.
That is not their way of doing business.
They do not haul express cars at a
