Iowa City. April colleges in the
state OF Iowa are rapidly swinging the
reform AK in the development of the
interior athletic systems of their re-
spective institutions and as a result
the inter- class. inter society. inter-fra-
ternity, and inter department baseball
leagues and track meets have received
tremendous boost this spring accord

ing universities and colleges.
At Iowa College at Grinnell. class

tire male population of >the student
body will indulge in baseball contests
at some time or another this spring. In
this school the inter-class phase is
most emphasized.
In the University of Iowa baseball
has increased in popularity and under
the incentive created by the, stirring
attack on inter collegiate athletics by
Hon. James II. Trewin. inter depart
ment and inter- fraternity leagues have
been launched with much enthusiasm.
Schedules have been made out and so

who are not skillful enough to make
a try for the varsity. The criticism of
the head of the board of education was
that the present form of athletics did
not furnish benefit tO the rank and file
of the student body. Every effort is
being made locally to boost the inter
collegiate side of the athletic system
without injuring the inter- collegiate
side.
While the track and field meets have
not reached the stage of development
that characterizes the baseball enthus-
iasm there are indications that other
forms of contests inside the colleges
will soon receive a fresh impetus fol-

Special to Times-Republican

Special to Time Republican.
Des Moines, April 2.-The current
issue of the Saturday Evening Post
contains an article by Clifford Thorne
on the interest which the consumer
has in the problem of freight rates. 1t
is an article that will not in the least
lessen the intensity of the fight which
is being made to defeat him for mem
presents in the article, in somewhat
extended form the ideas which he has
so often before presented to Iowa peo-
pie as to the enormous toll of the
railroads in freight rates and it's effect
| upon the cost of the necessities of life.
He shows how that nearly all 1egis-
i lation and regulation by commission
or otherwise has been to adjust mat
tiers as between the carrier and the
shipper, without any consideration of
the consumer; that the consumer alone
pays the freight and that the shipper
does not have a direct interest so
much in the amount of the rate as in
it's relation to other rates; and that in
all consideration Of the matter the in
terest of the consumer is but little
thought Of. His discussion leads in
evitably to the conclusion that there
should be some provision in law for
some representative or body to look
after the interests of the consumer. 1t
is recalled that Mr.. Thorne has for
number of years been urging upon
Iowa legislatures that they provide In
some way for a commerce counsel,
either attached to the railroad commits
sion or the office Of attorney general
or selected by the governor or coun-
Gil. That such a counsel will be pro-
vided in Iowa is now regarded as a GER
tainty.
A policy has been built up by the
railroads in recent years of providing
for themselves rate experts to devote
their entire time to considera ton OF
rate questions and to be prepared at
all times to defend the rates made by
the roads One of the lines crossing
Iowa has a keen lawyer employed at a
big salary to devote his entire time to
this matter. He is said to be better in
formed as to rates than any man In
the freight department of the COM
pany and much better than any COM
missioner or state official. Nearly ev-
cry system now has a bureau devoted
to this work and whenever the ship
pers or others go against any propo-
sition in regard to railroads or their
rates they find men who are fully in
formed to meet them. 1t is entirely
new development in the railroad work
The Iowa railroad commission comes
in contact with this phase of the rate
question at every turn. The state has
no one who is being prepared to cope
with the experts of the railroads ana
save for the local shippers assocla-
tions there is no preparation for tax
ing up rate questions from any but
the railroad standpoint

| Cedar Rapids, April 2.-State Fish
and Game Warden Lincoln has just
returned from a trip to Dubuque in the
interest OF Iowa sportsmen. He has
been investigating conditions along the
Mississippi river, his trip being taken
to see if everything was favorable to
the nesting Of the fish which he later
hopes to transfer to inland streams.
Among other things, the warden retit-
visions for crew, and will thus pro-
tect the fish on the Iowa side from the
depredations of poachers from the ILL.,
nois side of the river
Mr. Lincoln is taking up the question
IF the propagation of game birds. He
will secure eggs of the Hungarian par
fridge and the Chinese ring -necked
pheasant, place them with responsible
parties to hatch, and when the birds
are of proper size they will be freed
at various places turnout the state. Mr..
Lincoln believes these varieties Of
game birds will make hunting more of
sport for Iowa nimrods. The par
fridge and pheasant named above are
wary birds and the hunter who bags
them will have had a run for his
money.
While the Matching of the birds will
be no easy task and in fact will be a
difficult undertaking, Mr.. Lincoln hopes
that under proper conditions and care
full adherence, to instructions. thou
sands Of birds will soon be propogated.
Mr.. Lincoln can get an abundant sup
ply of the eggs.
The warden has had many applica-
tions from those who are anxious to try
their hand at raising the pheasants and
cartridges.
