Des Moines, July 12.-Senator Ciauoe
Porter is getting ready to take the
stump in Iowa and to make hvely
political campaign for principles ne
has long supported and which ne pc
lieves are more popular today than
ever before in the state.
Yes, / expect to do some campaign
work in Iowa." he said in reply to
question last evening. II feel that 1t
is but just to myself and duty owe
to the democratic party that should
go before the people OF the state and
set before them plainly the issues as
we understand them, the things TOR
which l have always stood. There are
matters enough to talk about. The
people are deeply interested in the at
fairs which concern the public. They
are eager to hear from the candidates
They are discussing these things
among themselves and l believe that
the great majority OF the people are
honestly seeking 10 know the truth ana
TO be able to act intelligently on all
public questions
Senator Porter seemed to feel bit
uncomfortable in appearing before the
executive council in company with the
railroad attorneys and tax commits
sioners to speak for reduction in rail-
road taxes. But he spoke only for the
Centerville & Abba, which is in fact
bankrupt line, which the owners want
ed to abandon w. w. Baldwin, OF
the Burlington, followed Mr.. Porter
and could not refrain from a joke.
Il am glad to know" he said, that
when my friend Mr. Porter becomes
governor he will have the right idea
as to these assessments"
And l hope that it will not be this
year. said Governor Carroll. who will
have 20 face Porter on the stump.
II am a democrat and can not join
you in the hope rejoined Mr.. Bald
win.
Senator Porter did not take up the
general question of methods of assess
ment of the roads. He did touch upon
the fact that the little road owned by
the Drake and Sage estates is losing
money.
This little hearing reminded me-"
ne said afterwards to the writer, "of
the company that used to gather before
the legislative committees to discuss
the railroad bills. They were all there

MILWAUKEE TO CEDAR RAPIDS.
City Hears Main Line Will Tap City
New Depot in Prospect.

wv" S0POI III TTooP0OSs

: city, by building a new line thru this
! ing a fine new depot in Cedar Rapids.
would become materialized within the
next few years. 1t has been known the
Milwaukee completed surveys for a
new track from Beverly to Covington,
on the main line. Main line trains
Marion; at Beverly they would run on
the new line to Covington, where they
would get on the main line itself
Not only We're surveys made for
this big improvement, but the correct
amount necessary to finance the pro-
ject has been estimated. and all that
remains is to receive the order from
headquarters to begin the work. Good
authority has it that the order will be
given and among railroad men who
have been watching the proposed new
service for the past two years when
the surveyors began their work. the
main line train service in Cedar Rapids
is considered as inevitable, and that in
the very near future.
Bring of the main line trains to this
city would mean a new depot, and 1t
is said that the Milwaukee and the
Illinois Central would again go together
in erecting the new station. 1t is also
said that several other schemes in re-
gard to new depot have been dis
cussed, but what these are could not
be learned. Local Milwaukee officials
did not wish TO she'd any light on the
story when interviewed, but as was
said before, the surveys and the esti-
nation of cost are a fact, and good
authority expects the Improvement
within five years at least.

self and Senator Garst. Garst was far
ahead Of his time on these things and
real pioneer in reform work. We
finally secured some very important
changes in the laws and these have
stood to this day unchanged"
w. w. Baldwin, Of the Burlington,
who has been the political and general
representative Of the road in Iowa for
many years, Is convinced that the con-
ditions which have compelled the rail-
roads to report a reduction in net earn
ings for the past year will soon pass
away.
1.-The great expenses of the COM
panies," he said, "as shown by their
reports made to the state, is due to a
great many causes. One cause is. Of
course, increased wages Of the men;
but more important than this is the
fact that the cost of all materials en-
ton has been increased in the past
year or two. The railroads have been
making use of a great deal of steel and
other material. There has been a great
deal Of repair work. The need of bet
ter road beds is apparent and this need
is being met. Hence the large expense
account the past year.
But this is a TEN orary condition. I
do not look for it to continue. There
will be reduction in prices and there
Will not be such need of Improvement
in the future"
"Will there be additional construc-
ton in Iowa?"
II do not expect to live to see an
other main track constructed in Iowa"
he said I'VE are practically at the
end of railroad construction in this
state. The mileage now is substan-
TALLY the same as it was seven years
ago. Now do not say this is due to
the fact of unfriendly attitude of the
state; but / do say that it would be
well for the state to take such steps
as would make investors feel they are
more welcome here. The taxes of the
railroads have been doubled in less
than twenty-five years and we are
taxed more in proportion to our earn
ings now than we were then.
'sThis matter Of taxation OF the rail-
roads is becoming a serious one.
will say, however, that we are not as
bad off as they are in Michigan, for in
stance. l had the occasion the other
day to look up the record in regard to
certain branch of the Northwestern
which has paid profit in the past five
years Of about 100000 to the owners,
yet the company has paid over a mil
lion dollars in taxes on that road. That
is situation that is becoming serious
in this country"
