lature in 1861, 1862 and 1867, and in

craftsmanship of the republican state
committee in 1881 Senator Frye was
elected his successor. and he succeed
ed Mr.. Blaine as senator from Maine
in 1881, to which position he was re-
elected five times.
r In 1895 he was elected president pro
tempore of the senate, and was re-
elected for the third time in 1907. He
was q member Of the commission

The Iowa railway commission has
ordered reduction of from Eve tc
twenty cents per 100 pounds in express
rates in that State. holding that the exl
press companies are making excessive
and unconstitutional profits Hereto.
fore all Unconstitutional rulings have

ness the railroad rate rulings BY Legisla.
lures that have been declared ..unconsti.
tntional' BY Judges who owe their posi-.
tons to corporate influence. and it will
not take the express companies long ID
find means Of getting around the ruling
of the Iowa railway commission, it being
pretty safe be- that the people will con
tinue to be held up for the extortionats
express charges in Iowa as well as every
other State as of yore.
That the Iowa railroad commission il
away ahead Of orr federal government is
evidenced BY the fact that the Admins,
tration is just now taking steps TO find
ont how much too much the express com
panies charge the people, something the
commission already knows. But the
federal government does things different
IL; creates investigating commissions a
the cost of thousands of dollars, in order
to give fat jobs TO some Of the faithful
and even then let's things proceed d
before.
Why doesn't the Government do the
express business itself, as IT does the mail
business? II would know all the time
inst what i cost and could give the
people the service at cost, instead Of
charging extortionate prices for packages
in order to pay big salaries and dividends
